TBC’s “Source” on Scholarship Anti-Trinitarian
James White, , Reformed Apologetics
The source The Berean Call utilized to attempt substantiation of the wild claims about a Hebrew original of Acts 13:48 that is meant to cast doubt upon the actual translation of the passage (all in the service of anti-Calvinism) turns out to be anti-Trinitarian as well. Their statement of faith includes this line: “The Holy Spirit is likened to the

Almost Mega Length DL with Five Major Topics
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Started off with the MSM’s hyping of the First Apocalypse of James, a well known gnostic work from, at the earliest, the late second century, most probably the third. Had a “Story Time with Uncle Jimmy” where I read the entirety of the work so you can respond to co-workers or others who raise the topic. Then we discussed Bill

Final Observations on the Leighton Flowers Discussion (With Addendum)
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters
On today’s Dividing Line I offered some comments on last Thursday’s debate with Leighton Flowers in the Dallas area. Professor Flowers had already done so…repeatedly…in various forums. I expressed my disappointment with the debate, and the fact that we had debated two different topics. I had made my opening presentation on Romans 9, and he on Total Depravity. It is

Dan Corner, Evangelical Outreach, and Debates
James White, , Reformed Apologetics
UPDATED INFORMATION! Dan Corner just won’t give up. In May of 2001 Dan tried to “spin” his refusal to debate me on the real issues with a new Audio offering. Click here to listen to my response to Mr. Corner as it was aired on the Dividing Line Webcast. A number of months ago I was sent a URL to

A Fast Dose of Human Tradition!
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , Reformed Apologetics
“Especially when it comes to human evil, that we would call sin in theological terms. That God does not will this, he does not promote it. But because of our free will, he permits it.” -William Lane Craig, August 12, 2007, Reasonable Faith, “Problem of Evil” “for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus,

Post Debate Road Trip Dividing Line: Flowers Debate Review
James White, , Debate, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Today we went back over the key issues in the Flowers debate on John 6, looked more closely at 6:45, documented errors on LF’s part, etc. Also thanked a bunch of folks for their support and a super cool gift I was given last evening (the A&O Bow Tie!). Spent about ten minutes looking at Chris Fisher’s misuse of 1

Chasing Textual Criticism into BYU, then Open Phones
James White, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line
Started off with a (to me) really interesting discussion of a recent study in textual criticism that led me, in the minutes just before the program, off into the woods of Mormonism and BYU. At least I thought it was fascinating! But we eventually got out of the woods and did open phones on a wide variety of topics (isn’t

C. Gordon Olson on John Calvin and the Gift of Faith
James Swan, , Reformed Apologetics
C. Gordon Olson presents a fair amount of historical analysis in Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism. Coming under scrutiny is none other than John Calvin. One curious historical tidbit by Olson is the implication Calvin did not believe faith is the gift of God given to a specific chosen people. Of Calvinists believing faith is a gift from God, Olson says,
