Held off on continuing our Radio Free Geneva examination of Bob Coy’s sermon against Calvinism. Instead, we addressed a couple of e-mail questions, then took the time to listen to some comments from Abdullah Kunde on the issue of the transmission of the text of the New Testament. Then took come calls, including one on Romans 5, and one from Alfred on the hypostatic union.

Road Trip DL from Salt Lake City: A Little Riddle, a Little Muller
James White, , Debate, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, TROnlyism
Was on the road for six hours today but still managed to sneak a program in this afternoon, looking a bit at my discussion with Doug Wilson on “paedocommunion” (he prefers “child communion” and there is, actually, a difference), then responding to Jeffrey Riddle on an odd take on semper Reformanda, and then finishing up with a little discussion on

Very Important Debate Today on Fighting for the Faith
James White, , The Dividing Line
I would have somewhat changed the title on this myself. Here is the idea from Chris Pinto’s movie: a 19 year old Greek named Simonides wrote Codex Sinaiticus in late 1839/early 1840. He did so with some assistance from his uncle. He used the Moscow Bible and Codex Alexandrinus as his primary sources. His uncle made corrections. The codex was

Finishing the Jon Modene Sermon
James White, , The Dividing Line
Finished off the Modene sermon and then took two calls, one from Jerry Johnson of the Apologetics Group. I started off the program reading from R.C.’s own writings on the nature of the new birth, and then played Modene saying R.C. does not preach on the new birth. A telling contrast. Also, most of my readers will want to read

Living in Two Worlds, then, A Full Response to a Muslim “Revert”
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line
Started off with a few minutes discussing the reality that a lot of us are facing: how do you have any sense of “normal” anymore when the future looks to troubled, so difficult? Why even bother talking about theology during a revolution? Well, because Christians have done that for a very long time, actually. So, a few words of encouragement

Jumbo Dividing Line: Biblicism is the Road to Rome (Steve Meister)? Then Semantic Domains and Much More
James White, , Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism
Ninety minutes in the big studio today using the big board to look at some important topics. Started off with a little KJV Only silliness, then a little TR-Only silliness, and then on to comments made by IRBC pastor Steve Meister on Josh Sommer’s program about biblicism being the “road to Rome.” Having corrected that idea, we moved into the

Psalm 33 and Tyson James
James White, , Molinism, The Dividing Line
In the second part of today’s program I dove into a response Tyson James wrote (James works for Reasonable Faith) more than three years ago to comments I made from Psalm 33 relating to Molinism way back in May of 2014. So we dove back into the topic, and will finish off our response on Thursday’s program.

Apologia Church, Jeff Durbin, JD Hall, and “the Controversy”
James White, , The Dividing Line
For nearly two hours Pastor Jeff Durbin and I discussed ReformCon, beer tasting at the Boulders, Christian News, Marcus Pittman, a Thursday night tattoo session, JD Hall, holiness, sanctification, Christian freedom, and the role Internet polemics plays in creating simple falsehoods and controversies over fictional events. I had a few clips I did not get to, as it went longer

Open Phones Topic: Sola Scriptura!
James White, , Church History, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
It may be the first time we’ve ever done this, but the fact is, we’ve done this for so long, I just can’t be sure. But anyway, I got the weird idea today to do a live open phones segment on a particular subject, today, sola scriptura. That included issues of the canon as well. Great calls and questions! We
