Today on the Dividing Line Rich decided to do an impromptu interview, sort of, regarding the tomb book, based upon the e-mails he has been receiving. After the break I sorta…rambled on about some of the current controversies about which I have said nothing since I’ve been living in a cave writing my book over the past 16 days.

Paul’s Expanded Shema and Important Truths in Handling Scripture
James White, , Exegesis, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line
Started off with a little discussion of the upcoming seminar in St. Charles (see below), and then focused on 1 Corinthians chapter 8 for the rest of the program, discussing interpretational issues and dangers especially our audience might face in doing apologetics and exegesis. Finished off with some discussion of a major textual variant in Isaiah 9:6 between the Hebrew

Chapter 4 of “Love Wins”
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started off briefly noting Peter Lumpkins’ absence (fully expected of course), then took some quick calls on a wide variety of topics, including a discussion of the high priestly work of Christ and an upcoming debate with atheists. I then moved into reading a large portion of chapter 4 of Love Wins, illustrating the man-centeredness of the Arminian fundamentalism that

Luke 2:22, Steven Anderson, Ireland, TR Onlyism, and You!
James White, , Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Started off looking at how Luke 2:22 came to say “her purification” instead of “their purification,” leading to a study of Beza and the Textus Receptus. This led us to Steven Anderson once again, who is in the news for being banned from half the planet lately (this time Ireland of all places). But this then led us to listen to

James 3, China, the UK, and the Pope!
James White, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off the program with a look at James 3 in light of the arrival of 2020 and the challenges we will be facing therein. Moved on to discuss the totalitarian Left and its attack upon everything that is godly and true. We connected this to the recent “trans-gender” decision in the UK. Then we discussed Pope Francis’ comments about

Jimmy Akin
James White, , The Dividing Line
Today we continued our examination of Jimmy Akin’s comments on BAM, but first I commented briefly on Ray’s “response” on his blog, and on Akin’s comments to a Mormon on CA Live yesterday.

Mormonism’s Capitulation, Open Phones with Great Calls
James White, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, The Dividing Line
We started off with the Senate’s consideration of the evil “Respect for Marriage Act,” which, of course, is the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and how the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City capitulated on basic Christian belief on the matter by favoring the passage of the bill. Then we took great calls on what it is to be Reformed, the

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

Road Trip DL: Ministry Report, Dr. Young and a Debate, Response to Various Topics
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Racialism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism
I am in the wilds of eastern Mississippi but we got a program in anyway! Super encouraging stuff from the trip so far, including last night’s presentation on the Trinity and Oneness theology. I also discussed Dr. Kevin Young’s amazing assertion that I declined the debate challenge I offered to him, which I clearly did not. Then we looked at
