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 topic.

Had a good time on the program today reviewing comments made a number of years ago by Islamic lecturer and apologist Jamal Badawi regarding the alleged passages in the Bible that prophetically speak about Muhammad. I had been looking for his comments on Isaiah 9:6-7 for quite some time, and finally found them. Then we did a fun contest based

Response to Paul Owen Regarding Mormons and those in Rome
TurretinFan, , The Dividing Line
In response to Dr. James White’s comments on whether those in the Roman commmunion and in the LDS church are saved, Paul Owen responded: Mormons do NOT deny that Jesus is the God-man who died for our sins and rose again. They affirm all those points explicitly. And I see no reason to deny that many devoted followers of Christ

In 2022, Dr. Sam Renihan wrote “Crux, Mors, Inferi: A Primer and Reader on the Descent of Christ”. This is a helpful guide through the Biblical Data regarding Christ’s Descent as well as a look at the history of the doctrine as taught in the early church by the Apostle’s Creed (as well as the Athanasian Creed, although it was

Back to Normal on the DL
James White, , The Dividing Line
Very nice to have the full crew on hand (that amounts to two folks) for the Dividing Line today, and we spent the entire time on phone calls. Discussed sola scriptura and some of my past debates with Patrick Madrid and Gerry Matatics, then discussed a little bit about hyper-preterism and Luke 21, and finally closed with a call on

Spent the first twenty minutes responding to the excitement on Twitter yesterday when James Lindsay made reference to John 1:1. Then we took calls on baptism, whether it is James or Jacob in the New Testament, the vaccine mandates and the military, and church membership when you are Reformed and your church isn’t.

A Remote Dividing Line Discussing Abortion, Gender Issues, and Then Transitioning to More IFB Craziness

Needed to do the program remotely today from my home (and aside from one slip up, it actually worked quite well!). Discussed the amazing (and disgusting) tweets put out by a woman saying “goodbye” to the aborted baby she murdered as if this was an act of love on her part—tough way to start the program, I know. But when

Radio Free Damascus

Since I did not get to my “South Africa trip preparation materials” on yesterday’s very long Dividing Line, I promised to get to it today, on a special Radio Free Damascus Friday program. Finished up Bashir Vania’s opening statement, and then started into Yusuf Ismail’s comments. Did not get too far as we needed to unpack a lot of background

Norman Geisler’s Second Edition of Chosen But Free, Part 3 of 3 – A Class Project?
James White, , The Dividing Line
Dr. White theorizes that, due to the poor quality of the appendix that responds to his book the Potter’s Freedom, it could not have been written by a scholar like Geisler, but seems to have been the result of a group project from Geisler’s undergraduate logic class. The original text of CBF ignored some key texts that help establish Reformed
