Microphone Testing, Living Out, Traditional Textism and the Longer Ending of Mark
James White, , General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line
Started off with technical issues, to be honest (tried a new microphone that didn’t work out well, yet, anyway), and then eventually discussed Tom Buck’s currently running series of articles on Living Out. Then moved to the Traditional Text position (TR) finishing up with a look at the endings of Mark. We will be back on Thursday of this week. Don’t forget

Kenoticism Examined
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Exegesis, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Unitarianism
After some chatter about DEI’s destruction of the United States (and the West in general), we finally dug into a Twitter thread posted by Dr. Mike Riccardi on kenoticism and what it is supposed to mean and how we are supposed to identify it. Ended up going 90 minutes as a result, but this one will be discussed for a

William Lane Craig and the Basis of Faith, Douglas Beaumont’s Failed Attempt at Redefining John 6:44
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Started off responding to this article by William Lane Craig, once again dealing with the relationship between God’s revelation in Scripture and our knowledge, including our knowledge of who Christ was (and is). Craig is the primary source for Andy Stanley’s position, by the way, as you will see. Then we transitioned into a full-on refutation of this article by

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind
James White, , General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized
Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

Did about twenty minutes on Jan Hus and the background of the Reformation, and then went to the phones for the first time in a long time. A ton of questions on a wide, wide range of topics, such as the INC, Roman Catholicism, textual criticism, etc., finishing with a nearly 25 minute conversation with “Joe” who is flirting with

New Video on Eastern Orthodoxy, Biblicism is “Cultic,” Dale Tuggy States His Position
James White, , Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism
Last Road Trip Dividing Line for the July, 2023 trip (only a matter of weeks till we head for Pennsylvania and then G3). Live stream failed us (I have no idea why!). Talked a bit about this new video on Eastern Orthodoxy from Jason Wallace up in Magna, Utah, discussed the assertion that biblicism is “cultic” (and the obvious need

The Pillays of South Africa, Self-Made Energy Crisis, Response to Derrick Brite
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism
Final Dividing Line of 2022. Asked for prayer for Dennis Pillay and his wife in South Africa as end-of-life issues confront them, that God would give comfort and strength. Spoke a bit about the self-made, completely designed and intentional “energy crisis” around the world, and finished up responding to Derrick Brite on the role of Thomas in defining Christian orthodoxy.

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
