Then we took calls on baptism, whether it is James or Jacob in the New Testament, the vaccine mandates and the military, and church membership when you are Reformed and your church isn’t.

James White, , Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line
An hour and 45 minutes on Radio Free Geneva today, starting to look at Jason Breda’s video “exegeting” John 6. Brother Breda claims to have been “a Calvinist for ten years,” and is now producing videos exposing this “lie of the enemy.” Well, he attempted to walk through John 6 (give him credit!), and we are reviewing that attempt. Had

James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line
I promise to move on to other issues on Thursday, but needed to address a few more issues on text topics and the whole “Ecclesiastical Text” movement. Looked at 1 John 3:1 and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) and again asked serious questions of the fundamental assertions of this movement. Here is the YouTube link:

Scripture and Tradition

Today we mainly looked at the first chapter of the London Baptist Confession of Faith and its beautiful and important testimony to the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture. Hopefully encouraging for us all! I did look at a few statements made by folks at the beginning of the show, but tried to keep most of them relevant to the over-all

A Jehovah’s Witness (Martin Smart) Attacks Reformed Theology
James White, , Jehovah's Witnesses, The Dividing Line
An online apologist for Jehovah’s Witnesses named Martin Smart has been inserting his theology into John 15:2 in order to argue against Reformed theology. In response, Dr. White demonstrates how to start with an exegesis of the passage, which then leads then leads to applications, which exposes the shortcomings of the NWT and of Smart’s attempt to make all Scriptural uses of

Road Trip DL: Tucker Carlson, Doug Wilson, and Pope Francis
James White, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Sounds like the beginning of a lame joke, doesn’t it? But, it was actually two topics, first, my responses to the Tucker Carlson/Doug Wilson program. Then, we looked at Pope Francis’ idea that homosexual men are working out “love.” The program started fine, then, our internet connection died (yes, we are working on improving that situation, but can’t do it

Radio Free Geneva: The SBC Traditionalists Struggle to Interact
James White, , Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Spent most of our time playing an attempted response from Leighton Flowers to our last program, and then played some more of David Allen’s comments, including some pretty amazing examples of eisegesis and category errors.
