The Trendiest Current Fad in the Study of the Gospels and Historical Jesus: Social Memory Theory
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , Atheism, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies
With respect to social memory theory, it is doubtful whether Ehrman is the appropriate and accurate authority to cite in terms of the scholarly research done on the subject. He may just be, as he has been before, trailing along in public support of the latest fad… In short, it is not a theory of history and cannot be used

A Mega Dividing Line on Lots of Topics!
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Had not planned on going nearly two hours but time goes by so fast! Started off reading from the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin. Then we moved on to reading a portion from Brave New World. You’ll have to listen to hear why! Made some comments, and then shifted gears completely and played a video by Yahya Snow

Shepherd’s Conference 2019 Q&A: Mohler, Dever, Duncan, MacArthur, Johnson
James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
I had intended to cover more than one topic today. Failed miserably. We spent the first half an hour with Pastor Tom Buck who was at the Q&A session of the Shepherd’s Conference yesterday and was able to give us a first-hand report on his impressions of what took place. Then we played a major portion of the Q&A, interacting

Van Til and the Trinity: God as a Person
Colin Smith, , General Apologetics
As we have seen in the previous article, Van Til, and all apologists of the presuppositional camp, hold that Christian theism is the only theism worth defending. If, as Christians, we believe in the God who is revealed in the pages of the Old and New Testament, we are believing in a very specific God: one who creates, sustains, loves,

Richard Dawkins and Diane Gaskins: A Study in Seeking Consistency and Fairness
James White, , Atheism, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line
Started off looking at the comments of Richard Dawkins from his relatively new book, Outgrowing God, wherein he demonstrates a fundamental unwillingness to accurately represent the object of his disdain, that being Christianity. Then we began looking at Diane Gaskins’ article attacking Rosaria Butterfield. We will continue that analysis on the next program.

The Empty Hand of Faith
James White, , General Apologetics, Mormonism
“Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness . . . For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with

Van Til and the Trinity: Correlativism, Aseity, and the Trinity
Colin Smith, , General Apologetics
The Bible teaches that God is love (e.g., 1 John 4:8). Love is something that needs to be directed toward an object, so in what way does God love? One might say that God loves His creation, and in this way He is able to express love. However, God loves His creation in the same way that a man might

Archbishop Vigano Torches Francis, Open Phones
James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Open Phones, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
We had to take time to read through Archbishop Virgano’s utter torching of Francis and the current Vatican regime at the start of the program, then we took calls on the following topics: conjectural emendation in the Old Testament, issues relating to annihilationism/conditionalism, Shoemaker’s critical study of the Qur’an, advice for a new father, developments in Mormonism, and raising godly
