An Important New Item in the A&O Bookstore
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues
Years ago when I announced, for the first time, my eschatological position on the program (had a lot of fun teasing folks with that one), I mentioned that the key to my coming to my conclusions was a series of lectures by Greg Nichols, then of the Trinity Ministerial Academy. I listened to a series of old cassette tapes (for

A Steve Hays Face-Plant, Closer Look at Texts like 1 John 3:1, A Tad of Steven Anderson, Four Phone Calls
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Open Theism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line
Looked at a few topics to start out, including a short hit piece from Steve Hays that missed the mark by a mile. Then we did a little more TC reasoning looking at another claim from the TT’s that doing modern textual criticism is unbiblical, and then moved on to a few more quotes from Steven Anderson in response to

A Brief Rejoinder
James White, , Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Theology Matters, Thomism
After many months of making reference to my statements (normally as found on the Dividing Line) only by ostensibly humorous sub-tweeting, Dr. Barcellos recently directly addressed me via Twitter. Given the length of the thread, and my desire to have facial expression and tone of voice available (one of the worst problems with Twitter in general), I responded on the

An Interesting Expansion in the LBCF, 1689
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues
As I am continuing my commentary on Professor Seifrid’s comments on justification (thought I had forgotten that, didn’t you?), I was doing some reading and ran across an interesting “expansion” in the London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) that is not found in the Westminster Confession of Faith (1648). Seemingly it comes from the Savoy Declaration, but I haven’t had

Pelagians on Twitter, Man-Centered God at Bethel, Presuppositions in Ehrman, Open Phones
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Started off looking at a Pelagian on Twitter by the name of “C G.” Then played an entire ten minute long clip from a guy on the “Dead Raising Team” from Bethel Church in Redding about how we should believe in the goodness of people (please read Romans 3:10-18 over three times while pondering that concept). Before going to the

The Pope and the Lord’s Prayer, Slander & Keyboard, SJC, Zachariades & God’s Justice
James White, , Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off looking at Pope Francis and “lead us not into temptation.” Then had to look at Slander and Keyboard (the group formerly known as Pulpit & Pen, sort of like the artist formerly known as Prince…or Purple something, I could never figure that part out) as well as some wild eyed “bigotry in the name of Christianity is fine

Final Road Trip DL for Now! Mainly a Review of a “Former Calvinist” and His Handling of Scripture
James White, , Debate, Exegesis, Ken Wilson, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line
Last program from the road, should be home next week in our regular studios. Talked a bit about Doug Wilson’s blog article in response to Owen Strachan, though I mostly discussed the “Memorials” issue from that article. Then I played sections from two videos from a “former Calvinist,” Jason Breda, and considered why those who leave a movement struggle to

Church History Story Time with Uncle Jimmy: Road Trip Edition (Audio Only)
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism
After a few minutes about the importance of self discipline in the Christian life, I read through three sections from Dr. Nick Needham’s 2000 Years of Christ’s Power series, one dealing with the Robber Synod, one dealing with the Marburg Colloquy, and the last about the death of Chrysostom. Enjoy!
