Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz’s tweet about Uganda and Charlie Kirk’s comments about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published last year in response to the “White Question” and then finished up talking about debates (as a long thread had developed in Twitter on the topic).

Open Phones on the Dividing Line
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
I wish there was a way for me to easily make notation of all the topics when we do open phones, but alas, I have not mastered that skill. So we talked about Mormonism and textual criticism and inerrancy and even a call about the Christian view of medical intervention for someone who is truly (genetically) intersexed! Also had a

Norman Geisler’s Second Edition of Chosen But Free, Part 2 of 3 – Logical Fallacy?
James White, , The Dividing Line
Dr. White continues covering the error-laden 13th appendix of Chosen But Free, which had claimed to be a response to his book The Potter’s Freedom. This program covers a supposed list of logical fallacies in White’s PF, including ad hominem attacks and name calling. A closer look, however, reveals that the CBF appendix is littered with not just citations of

Frozen Road Trip DL: The Supreme Court as a Window into the Degradation of the US
James White, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity
I am parked in the frozen tundra of St. Charles but we still managed to spend an hour talking mainly about the oral arguments presented at the Supreme Court yesterday regarding SB1, Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of chemicals on minors to “transition” them. It was a truly disheartening thing to listen to the entire session and realize that you

The Catholic Verses: Luke 1:28 (Part IV)
James White, , Roman Catholicism
Now, all of this, up to this point, has simply been to work through the first of two issues I myself raised regarding what a serious Roman Catholic would have to explain to make a serious Protestant feel at all “confounded” at Luke 1:28. If kecaritwme,nh is telling us that Mary was sinless due to the possession of a perfection

This Age is Passing Away: the Emptiness of Secularism, then Hebrews 10 for Resurrection Weekend
James White, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Two primary topics on the program today, first, the emptiness of secularism and our need to be continually aware of its influence upon our thinking, acting, and speaking. Then, Hebrews 10 and its testimony to the purpose of God in the sacrifice of Christ, a particularly relevant topic on this Resurrection weekend.

Geordi and Riker Talk to the Pakleds, or Bill Nye Talks to Folks in Kentucky
James White, , The Dividing Line
I wasn’t going to spend nearly the entire program reviewing the Ham/Nye debate, but that’s what I ended up doing. In the process we figured out the best analogy for Nye’s attitude toward Kentuckians: that of Riker to the Pakleds on Star Trek the Next Generation! We even played a clip for those who are not familiar with that, uh,

Armstrong Tries to Defend His Actions
James White, , Roman Catholicism
Amazingly, after posting his horrific image, Armstrong has tried to turn the tables by accusing me of posting something even worse than his blood-stained Charlie-Mansonesque picture. Remember, Armstrong just posted the picture: no context, no words, no application to any particular issue. Just Rome’s arrow (replete with Papal flag) sticking out of my forehead with blood flowing from the wound.

The Radicalism of the US Government
James White, , Christian Worldview
If you have not read this material on President Obama’s new “Science Czar” (I will be busy today looking for where the Constitution defines the position of “czar”), you will want to, but only when the resultant shock and disgust will not ruin the rest of your day.
