The Barker v. Wilson Debate Examined
James White, , The Dividing Line
I began a series today reviewing portions of Doug Wilson’s debate with Dan Barker from 1997. I know I risk many barbs, slings, and arrows for saying Doug Wilson did a masterful and excellent job in this debate, but facts are facts, and he did. But I am not reviewing Doug’s presentations, as good as they were. I wanted to

New Live Video, Report from Trip, More Response to Yusuf Ismail
James White, , The Dividing Line
Well, I’m not sure how to blog all of this. Since we live streamed the presentation summarizing the case against Ergun Caner Tuesday evening from Lindale, Rich decided, “Hey, we can do that.” So, we are now live streaming the Dividing Line. I have no idea why anyone would want to watch me sitting there talking, but, evidently, people do.

The Muslim Claim That The Gospel of John Predicted Muhammad
James White, , Islam, The Dividing Line
Dr. White examines the claim that John 14:16 is a corrupted text that originally referenced a prophecy about Muhammad, although no manuscripts support the claim. In the article, both the facts presented and the argumentation are found wanting on just about every point – this theory can not hold up against the context of the passages or manuscript evidence.

Time Change on the DL Today
James White, , The Dividing Line
Just a quick note. Today is somebody’s birthday (whose name will remain a secret), so we will be moving the DL up an hour so that somebody’s wife can take him to dinner this evening (and no, it is not my birthday). So, instead of 7pm EDT, we will begin at 6pm EDT, 3pm PDT.

“Islam and Friends” Makes Stuff Up, and More on Dan Barker
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started off reviewing the comments of the Muslim host of “Islam and Friends,” took some calls relevant to atheism and Dan Barker, and reviewed more of Barker’s debates, and in particular, his claim that רצח does not mean “murder.” For those who like documentation: רָצַח (rā∙ṣǎḥ): v.; ≡ Str 7523; TWOT 2208—LN 20.61-20.88 (qal) murder, kill, i.e., take the life

The Atonement: Defined by Revelation, or Philosophy?
James White, , Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
We did a Skype based DL today looking at some comments William Lane Craig made about the atonement, and comparing and contrasting these with Hebrews 7:22-25. A good deal of discussion of how we derive our theology and why it is important. Don’t forget that on Thursday at 6pm EDT Vocab Malone will be guest hosting and doing an interview

Richard Mouw, Rob Bell, Fuller Seminary, Mustafa Arja, and More
James White, , The Dividing Line
Another eclectic program today, covering Richard Mouw’s proclamation of Rob Bell as orthodox, a call from Ben the agnostic, a quick review of some comments by Mustafa Arja in a recent debate (looking at his use of Shabir Ally and especially Bart Ehrman), and then a call that took us almost 15 minutes beyond our normal time, a conversation with

Today on a Mega Sized Radio Free Geneva
James White, , The Dividing Line
I do not know if we have ever done a two hour DL before. Possibly. In any case, I did not even get through half of what I wanted to cover. So, we will do another DL, though not a two hour one, tomorrow. Might go for a jumbo, we will see. In any case, today I dedicated the program
