Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

James White, June 27, 2023, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Had to record the program today due to the location I am at in Santa Fe (possibly due to weather issues as well, not completely sure). Talked about the Australian legislation being proposed to give the state pretty much full control over speech and how we have taken our eyes off the ball as the totalitarians continue their global march.

Road Trip DL from Virginia

James White, September 26, 2022, Debate, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a little ministry report from the G3 Conference and my time in Pennsylvania. Then we talked a little bit about the Master’s Seminary controversy, then about the debate from Saturday afternoon, and finished up with a response to Costi Hinn about Doug Wilson and Michael Brown. An hour and twenty minutes. I forgot to provide the links

Thoughts on the Legacy Standard Bible and CBGM, Roman Catholic Topics

James White, July 8, 2021, CBGM, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Spent some time talking about how Australia has fallen into the pit of totalitarianism, then did an unplanned discussion of the Legacy Standard Bible’s reading at Jude 5 and the upcoming ECM volumes (and CBGM data) for Mark that will be available in about three weeks. Moved from there to a discussion of the “debate” of some kind between Michael

Responding to Pastor Mike Winger on Radio Free Geneva

James White, December 2, 2019, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Pastor Mike Winger posted a response to me on July 23, 2019 on the subject of the atonement. I watched it at that time, but never responded to it, as I was traveling, Michael Brown had responded to me as well, and I just didn’t get around to it. But I kept it in the back of my mind, and

A Quiet DL (Because James Has Almost No Voice)

James White, January 10, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had some technical issues so the live stream did not go very well today. Talked a bit about the trip to Owensboro and the upcoming G3 Conference. Then looked at a few texts on the biblical teaching on the world’s hatred of the Kingship of Jesus, then looked at the Netherlands and their strong secular move against Christian belief within

Catching Up on Recent Events Before Leaving Town

James White, November 28, 2018, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details). Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.” Yeah. Deadnaming. That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.” So, in other

Live DL Via Skype from Evergreen Colorado: Christianity Without the Bible Refuted

James White, July 11, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a brief refutation of the silliness promoted by Leighton Flowers, and then moved on to actually important issues. First we discussed comments made by William Lane Craig about the historical Adam and the doctrine of original sin. Then we noted that Andy Stanley appeared on Michael Brown’s radio program and attempted to defend his “unhitching the Old Testament”

The Religion of Moloch Lives, Lizzie Schofield’s Review of G3 Debate, S&K Swings and Misses Yet Again

James White, February 1, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

A 90 minute edition of the DL today starting off looking at recent events primarily related to the Uber Sacrament of the Secularists, i.e., human child sacrifice, euphemistically called abortion. Then we considered a mainly negative review of my debate with Adnan Rashid offered by Lizzie Schofield. Finally we looked at the recent accusations brought by Jordan Hall relating to

Epiphanius and the Bodily Assumption, Then Facts and Observations on the Continued Misrepresentations of the Yasir Qadhi Dialogue

James White, June 19, 2017, General Apologetics, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Took the first half hour to deal with an issue from the Marian Dogmas debate in London, specifically, the citation of Ephiphanius related to the Bodily Assumption. Then in the second half hour I went through a number of corrections of the narrative being promoted by a number of folks relating to the dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi, correcting, reproving,

Synergism and the Perfection of Salvation with a Brief Comment on Morey and the Infamous Hadith

James White, February 9, 2017, The Dividing Line

The first hour was a hodge-podge of topics related to synergism, including a video from Michael Brown on whether we can lose our salvation, material from SBCToday (i.e., the “Traditionalists), etc. Then we talked for a few minutes about Robert Morey, debates, and the infamous “thing/thigh” hadith. Here is the YouTube link:

A Mega Plus (2:20) Long Dividing Line!

James White, February 16, 2016, The Dividing Line

Did a little over an hour in response to Gail Riplinger’s childish, insult-filled revision of history regarding our 1993 encounter on KRDS Radio in Phoenix. Played clips from that encounter, along with clips from the Ankerberg Show and other venues. Moved on from there to announce an upcoming discussion between myself and Dr. Michael Brown on Job 23:13-14 and the

A Quick Plug…

Colin Smith, March 15, 2015, Homosexuality

A few weeks ago, Dr. White gave a positive shout-out to Rosaria Butterfield’s book THE SECRET THOUGHTS OF AN UNLIKELY CONVERT. The sub-heading is “An English Professor’s Journey into Christian Faith.” In this book, Rosaria recounts her conversion to Christ from what appeared to be a “good life” with a steady, tenured teaching position at a respected university where she

A Mega “I’m Back!” Dividing Line

James White, January 27, 2015, The Dividing Line

Two weeks away without doing any programs left me with quite a stack of things to get to, to be sure! Started off with a quick report on my trip to Norway (complete with *Bjorn Storm approved Norwegian accent!), the G3 Conference (mega kudos to all the folks who worked so hard to put that on!), and my encounter with

Kurt Eichenwald: Unrepentingly Ignorant, and Proud of it!

James White, January 16, 2015, General Apologetics, Textual Issues

Last evening, just prior to my speaking (ironically) on New Testament Reliability, and, in particular, the portion where I work through some of the earliest papyri and their relevance to the field, such as P52, P72, P75, P66, etc., I had a brief exchange once again with Kurt Eichenwald, the author of the Christmas hit-piece on the Bible whose article

Yes, Perry, Hebrew Has Multiple Words that Mean “Command”; and Uber Confident Devin Rose Demands I Own a Time Machine

James White, January 6, 2015, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent most of the hour today analyzing Perry Noble’s Christmas Eve sermon—which he seems to believe he was commanded to preach by God in some revelatory fashion—wherein he gave us a new, improved, and oh so much more friendly set of Ten Commandments—now the Ten Promises. All because some guy he knows in Israel told him there is no word

Markan Fragment, Panbenevolence, More of MB’s Opening Statement

James White, November 26, 2014, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a little discussion of Craig Evans’ comments on a yet-to-be-published Markan fragment dated to AD 80; then we spent quite some time on a clip of William Lane Craig responding to a Muslim and the issue of omnibenevolence or, as it is often expressed, panbenevolence; then finished up with all of 90 seconds of Michael Brown’s opening

The Lion Roars…Off Key; JOwen, the Muslims and the TR; Zahndified; Synergism

James White, November 18, 2014, The Dividing Line

Had to do a Jumbo (90 minute) edition of the DL today to fit it all in. First half was all in response to Let the Lion Roar and the accompanying book. Had many things to discuss–can’t say it was overly well organized, but hopefully helpful. Then moved on to a Puritan Board discussion about me and the textual critical issue.

Instant Reaction to Escaping the Great Deception

James White, November 17, 2014, Uncategorized

I received a copy of the new Let the Lion Roar film, together with the accompanying book, from my friend and brother Michael Brown. I wrote up an entire post on FaceBook about my initial (and somewhat unplanned) reaction to the book, and wanted to provide it here: I just received a copy of Let the Lion Roar from my dear

A Twitter Dialogue with Matthew Vines

James White, October 24, 2014, Homosexuality, Theology Matters

It took months, but Matthew Vines and I finally exchanged a series of tweets about my standing invitation to him to debate his claims. It began with someone informing me that I was being mentioned; I then searched for the tweets, and the conversation began: @DrOakley1689 Care to join the conversation? He’s talking about you. . . JW to MV:

Moral and Ethical Chaos in Western Society

James White, September 25, 2014, The Dividing Line

Discussed the continuing spiral into moral and ethical chaos in Western society, looking at a few “evangelical” examples, followed a number of interesting rabbit trails, and eventually ended up back with…Brian Zahnd’s opening statement in his debate with Michael Brown. Here is the YouTube link:

Evangelicals for Redefining Marriage, Steven Anderson Lies Through His Teeth Behind the Pulpit, Brian Zahnd’s Marcionism on Twitter

James White, September 23, 2014, The Dividing Line

Today I started off discussing the launch of “Evangelicals for Marriage Equality,” and given that the phrase “marriage equality” is a lie-phrase, well—that becomes part of the discussion. Wandered about a bit for the first half hour on that topic, then someone on Twitter completely derailed everything. I was about to discuss my Twitter convo with Brian Zahnd (see below)

HRC Promotes Hatred/Walid Shoebat’s Roman Canon Argument/Zahndian Jesus

James White, September 18, 2014, The Dividing Line

Just a couple of topics today. Briefly mentioned the promotion of hatred, and maybe even violence, by the HRC; then briefly addressed Walid Shoebat’s odd canon comments (taking an interesting rabbit trail on the Pope’s strange actions and the issue of defining marriage); and finished up reviewing Brian Zahnd’s opening statement on the atonement against Michael Brown. Here is the

The Monster God Debate: Why Those Under the Authority of Scripture Struggle to Speak to Those Who Are Not

James White, September 16, 2014, The Dividing Line

Took the time to actually watch all of the opening statement of Brian Zahnd in the debate that took place over the weekend in Kansas City against Michael Brown. Zahnd has engaged in two debates recently, both demonstrating a near fatal case of ACDS (Anti Calvinist Derangement Syndrome), this time the strain that is symptomatic of the modern Marcionites, something

On the Abuse of Language and Imagery to Mollify Shallow Thinkers

James White, June 4, 2014, Uncategorized

Christians are to be marked by “discipline” and are not to be like those who have a “depraved mind” (2 Tim. 1:7, 3:8, Titus 1:15). We are warned not to be taken captive by sly words of speech (Col. 2:8, Eph. 5:6). This means we do not glorify God when we let our emotions control our thoughts. We instead show

On the DL Today: Ergun Caner, and Seven Bible Verses We Need to Know and Be Able To Proclaim

James White, May 15, 2014, The Dividing Line

Today on the Dividing Line we reviewed the judge’s decision in the second of Ergun Caner’s sinful lawsuits, and rejoiced to see the judge ransacking the thesaurus to come up with such terms as “ludicrous,” “astounding,” “outlandish” and “bizarre.” Hooza! Well done. Spin that, Lumpy! Then we moved to this article and explained why we need to be able to

Monday Miscellaneous

James White, May 12, 2014, Blog Stuff, Exegesis, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Tackled a tough, challenging section of Hebrews at PRBC on Sunday. NOTE TO ALL ANTI-LORDSHIP, CHEAP-GRACE, NON-REPENTANCE FOLKS: Please note both sermons, but especially the evening sermon. I really tried to give you all the evidence you could possibly need that I am firmly, unalterably OPPOSED to your position and identify it as a fundamental denial of the Gospel. I

Technology Can Be a Blessing!

James White, April 24, 2014, Technology

We had better be using these avenues while we still can. Tuesday afternoon I had the privilege of teaching an introduction to apologetics class for Michael Brown’s ministry. Now aside from the kidding I got for being a Calvinist (fully expected!), what made it pretty unusual for me was that I was sitting in the Dividing Line studio and the

Just Where is that Mr. Evans Fellow Again?

James White, March 31, 2014, Uncategorized

Twitter keeps telling me that I should follow Rachel Held Evans. I keep uttering Hebrew imprecations under my breath at Twitter for its suggestion. If I followed Mrs. Evans, it would be for the same reason I follow certain other folks: to keep up with what those who “upset the faith of some” are saying and doing. Later this month

On Calvinist Conundrums from Richmond, Virginia

James White, February 16, 2014, Uncategorized

Well, as I am stranded in Richmond now (prayers that I will eventually, someday, arrive in Kiev, Ukraine, to teach Church History, would be appreciated!) I wanted to take the opportunity to respond to Michael Brown’s “Calvinist Conundrums” that he posted on FaceBook today. They will allow me to bring up some issues that we discussed in Charlotte a year

Confessions of a Former Charismatic, Part 2: Why I’m No Longer a Charismatic

Colin Smith, February 4, 2014, Testimonies, Theology Matters

In part one of this “confession,” I talked about some of my experiences as a Charismatic, including the time I encountered Benny Hinn. For the formative years of my Christian life, I fully embraced the Charismatic viewpoint. I spoke in tongues, believed that God raised up healers and prophets today, and considered churches that weren’t practicing “The Gifts” to be

PC&D and the SBC; BH and MB; Response to Shawn McCraney

James White, January 9, 2014, The Dividing Line

Enough abbreviations there? Briefly touched on the Philips, Craig & Dean controversy regarding performing for the SBC this summer (offering a simple question for PC&D to answer); then talked about Benny Hinn and Michael Brown, and finished up playing and responding to comments by Shawn McCraney on Calvinism. Shawn wrote today and said he’d like to call in so we
