Scripture and Tradition
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism
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

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 Slightly Abbreviated DL Today: So How DO You Define the Reformation?
James White, , Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism
I explained at the start of the program that things had developed that required me to shorten the program and rush off a bit…to get my new (first time) hearing aids! Wow, did you know that the keys on a keyboard make little clicky sounds when you press on them? Who knew? I was pretty surprised they could do it

6th Canon of Nicea, MBTS’s Triggering Book Display Examined
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Had a little bit of tech difficulty at the start, so I am not completely certain how long we went, but we spent the first part of the program going more in depth on the 6th Canon of Nicea in response to Michael Lofton’s amazing response on YouTube. Basically, we documented that Rome dogmatically tells her apologists what to find

The Philosophical Genealogy of Aristotle, According to Augustine
Chris Whisonant, , Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues
In Book VIII of City of God, Augustine takes up a discussion regarding the Platonic philosophers. He gives a fascinating genealogy of the philosophers (which he takes from Plato) who were in the line of succession up to Aristotle. In this post I want to review what he said there, consider some of the implications, and then consider what Augustine

Ijaz Ahmad and Corruption of Scripture, A False Dilemma for Christians, Thoughts on the Condemnation of Michael Brown
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Spent a good deal of time playing the final portions of Ijaz Ahmad’s video on “the corruption of Scripture,” working through a lot of pretty in-dept stuff regarding the Greek Septuagint, etc. Then spent a bit of time looking at a supposed dilemma for Christians from Paul Williams, and finished off with about 50 minutes of thoughts on the brouhaha

Dr. White’s Reasons Not to Join a Reformed Baptist Church
James Swan, , Reformed Baptist Issues
Way back when, Dr. White had an AM radio broadcast in New York City. Thirty minutes once a week, Dr. White aired The Voice of Sovereign Grace. I can’t recall exactly which New York station carried the broadcast, perhaps Chris Arnzen remembers (I think he put the show together). I don’t live in New York, but I do live within

Thanksgiving as a Christian Trait, Free Will, the Decree of God, and Theodore Zachariades
James White, , General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
As it is two days before Thanksgiving we started off with about 20 minutes of thought, based mainly on Ephesians 5, on that vital topic, and then moved on to a discussion of Chapter 9 of the London Baptist Confession of Faith, “On Free Will,” in light of the recent debate and an article from Dr. Zachariades. We hope everyone
