Lots of Short Topics, Andrew Fuller and the Reality of Death, then Back to Carl Trueman
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Musings, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity
Touched on a bunch of topics from Texas to Alistair Begg to the United Methodists at the start. Commented briefly on some miserable souls on line who want to debate about infant damnation. Then read from Nettle’s fine work on Andrew Fuller and the reality of death and how it impacts us and our theological outlook, before moving briefly back

Final Dan Barker Discussions Prior to Debate!
James White, , The Dividing Line
Played brief snippets from two more Barker debates I listened to recently, then finished off his list of “Bible contradictions.” Took some relevant calls as well. Remember, no DL on Thursday; however, we will try to live webcast the audio of the debate that evening. Since the debate begins at 7pm, and I’m assuming that is CDT, then we would

Past Two Dividing Lines
James White, , The Dividing Line
Rich just informed me that I forgot to give the link to last Thursday’s DL. My apologies. Here she is. Today on the DL I basically provided an hour long lecture/discussion of key issues related to Islam and the debate with Shabir Ally. Specifically, Mr. Ally has been writing on two of the topics of the debate, the issue of

William Lane Craig, the Lowered Bar, Molinism, and Erasmus
James White, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Examined the William Lane Craig clip that started circulating a few days ago about inerrancy and evangelism and apologetics, once again focusing upon the fundamental distinctions that arise when one is Reformed and when one is not in the area of apologetics. Then turned our attention to Erasmus and conjectural emendation, finishing up with a discussion of inerrancy and the

Aquinas as a Commentator, Doing “Theological Exegesis” on Matthew 24:36
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism
Looked at some claims about Aquinas by Norm Geisler, including a quick look at John 13:19, and then started to respond to the second in the series from Baptist Dogmatics regarding Matthew 24:36. What is “theological” or “dogmatic” exegesis? Well, we will find out more as we continue our review and response. But not tomorrow, though we plan on doing

Debate Reports from South Africa: Graeme Codrington, Ayoob Karim, Yusuf Ismail
James White, , General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line
Spent 75 minutes going over the trip to South Africa and the debates we did, with special emphasis upon an article Graeme Codrington wrote in response to our debate on the marriage issue in Johannesburg. Showed pictures, told the story of my “chance” (hahaha) encounter with one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the darkness at sunrise at the end of the

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.

Quick Note on Tomorrow’s DL
James White, , The Dividing Line
Far too many people are adjusting to the current schedule of the DL, so we must change things around to keep you confused! Of course, the upcoming time change will do that on its own, I suppose (well, we don’t play with our clocks here, as you know…but most of the rest of you do). Seriously, we need to change
