Finding the Balance, and A Little on Traditionalist Molinism
James White, , Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
I even said on the program at the end, “I have no idea how I will describe this program today.” Basically it was about finding balance, thinking through what is definitional and what is adiaphora (matters upon which different views can be held), first order doctrines versus second and third order doctrines, etc. I discussed the idea of separationism that

The I Am Sayings of Jesus as an Example of Exegesis and Hermeneutics
James White, , Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism
Today we did a Road Trip DL in the rain up here in Colorado, focusing upon the I Am sayings of Jesus and using them as an example of what believing, exegesis looks like in contrast with modern methods, or the supposedly superior “pre-modern” method seen in Scholasticism, etc. Tomorrow we will be doing on “Open Zoom” program with your

DL Time Adjustment in the Morning!
James White, , The Dividing Line
I have duties to attend to at home, so rather than just canceling the DL for Tuesday, we will do it early: 9:30am MST, 11:30am EST, and 3:30am in Sydney, Australia (David Ould was just whining in channel about this). I need to make sure our friends at Liberty know about this, lest they miss anything at all.

Banning Natural Marriage, Convert Syndrome, and Calls
James White, , The Dividing Line
Couldn’t exactly avoid the topic of “Marriage Equality” today (a phrase that is so utterly absurd in its meaning that one is left stuttering at its prevalence in society), so we started off there, looking at Ted Olson’s vain attempts to disassociate polygamy (and any number of other perversions of marriage) from his defense of the redefinition of marriage. Then

Catholic Answers’ Forums then Ahmed Deedat
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started off with some discussion of the Catholic Answers forums again, specifically, the use of the phrase “anti-Catholic” by that organization. Then took a few calls and moved on to Ahmed Deedat and his claim that Mohammed is the “spirit of truth” in John 14 and 16.

A Few Comments on the Lawson Issue, Then More Than an Hour in Response to Sam Costner
James White, , Church History, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Couldn’t avoid a few brief comments on the Steve Lawson issue that came to light today at the start of the program. Then I read through an eleven tweet thread written by Samuel Costner back on 8/31 regarding the Crusaders and my supposedly abandoning the younger generation by refusing to go along with the lionization of these Roman Catholic military

Road Trip Dividing Line From Conway, Arkansas
James White, , Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism
I am at GBTS in Conway and we managed (despite some challenges!) to get a full DL in today! Caught up with a lot that has happened over the past week or so on a number of topics. Hope the discussion is useful and helpful in the midst of all the fog being produced today. We will go for another

Today on the DL
James White, , The Dividing Line
Discussed the new Matatics stand on the Mass and ordination, took a call on elders, and then finished up with another half hour of discussion of Adrian Rogers’ “hyper Calvinism” talk. Here’s the program.
