Sorry about the delay in getting the files up and getting this blogged. London looms! We finally finished up the Madrid debate from 1993! Just barely though! I also reported on my time away last weekend. So, for a wrap-up on sola scriptura, take a listen! Here’s the program.

The Atonement: Defined by Revelation, or Philosophy?
James White, , Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
We did a Skype based DL today looking at some comments William Lane Craig made about the atonement, and comparing and contrasting these with Hebrews 7:22-25. A good deal of discussion of how we derive our theology and why it is important. Don’t forget that on Thursday at 6pm EDT Vocab Malone will be guest hosting and doing an interview

Matthew 23:37, You Are Not My Sheep, Sacralism Illustrated
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, DL Shorts, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off with a few observations about the fact that the US had a shadow, unelected government for four years, and how that should sober anyone up real fast, then we moved into some discussions with the Provisionists about Matthew 23:37 and about Jesus’ statement that “you are not my sheep,” and finally looked for a few minutes at part

A Multi-Topical Jumbo Dividing Line
James White, , The Dividing Line
So many things to get to today, but since I planned it all out beforehand, somehow—we got to it all! Started off necessarily commenting on the Hobby Lobby as well as World Vision stories. Spent some time discussing 1 Cor 6:9-11 and the fact that no amount of public pressure and societal regulations can change the tense of the verb ἦτε in

Voting, Racialism, TGC Article, Chesterton’s Romanism in a Jumbo DL
James White, , Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Told the story of my voting experience today and talked a little bit about worldview implications at the start, and then turned to a Jemar Tisby series of statements attempting to parallel racial justice issues with the Pharisees and Jesus’ condemnation in Matthew 23. Then we moved to Sam Allberry’s article at TGC on the Sexual Revolution, and finished up

Graphics for Today’s DL
James White, , The Dividing Line
I am going to discuss the use of lexical sources in exegesis and apologetics at the beginning of the DL today, and the following graphics will be helpful for those listening live (or those listening later, I suppose!). These are all in reference to the meaning of ζημιόω in 1 Corinthians 3:15.

Ergun Caner 2005 Clips
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started off playing clips from the April, 2005 appearance of a faux-jihadi before the US Marines, aka, Ergun Caner, as seen in the videos posted below. No amount of deceit on Caner’s part is going to cleanse the net of his lies, and since we had never reviewed that particular presentation, it was very easy to find “misstatement” after misstatement,

John Calvin’s Labyrinth
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started out with a discussion of the “labyrinth” in the theology of John Calvin, a heart-felt plea to hear Calvin’s warning to not go beyond Scripture and to honor God in humbly accepting the limitation of divine revelation. Then we took some great calls and also listened to some clips from John Martignoni, a Roman Catholic apologist.

Road Trip Morning Dividing Line
James White, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Just had to make note of the monumental Alabama Supreme Court decision and the issue of “By What Standard” that simply cannot be avoided. Then we looked at some further issues I had forgotten to get to on the last program about claims Trent Horn made and how all of this is so vitally relevant to the direction Roman Catholic
