And we made it work! Kudos to Rich! Now if we could just learn to do the DL without the ugly old dumb Scottish guy! So anyway, the topic! Yes, we dove into Exodus 3:14 and did some old-fashioned inter-textual study today at the start, and then moved into a discussion of the simplicity controversy, finishing with playing a segment from a Sinclair Ferguson sermon from (I believe) 2015. If you wish to end 2021 with some deep consideration of important issues, we hope this blesses you! See you in 2022! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1231211715573471 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 31 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:34:04 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1228212244107191 looking at the Ruckman-esque behavior of one Cody Zorn, a KJV pastor down in Georgia. Then we did a major shift in direction and did a full hour lecture on theology, Scripture, and how we define our faith. We eventually touched on Calvin, natural theology, and the current controversy over the definition of "divine simplicity." Another program to keep the A&O truckers happy https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1228212244107191 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 28 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:34:22 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/122121228572355 Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute in Canada joined me for a powerful hour of discussion about the recently passed bill in Canada, C4, which bans "conversion therapy." It is, in reality, a ban on any speech or counsel that would assist a person who is seeking to live in accordance with God's ways who wishes to be delivered from homosexuality or transgenderism. It is a thoroughly theological law based upon rebellion against God. It goes into effect around January 8th, so Dr. Boot and others in Canada are asking all faithful churches to join them in standing against this godless attack upon the faith.

We then took a brief break and came back for the second half (see next blog entry!). https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/122121228572355 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 21 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:29 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1221212314171647 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. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1221212314171647 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 21 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:03:35 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1216211532546239 Recently Kevin Harris led William Lane Craig through a brief review of our discussion on Calvinism and Molinism on the Reasonable Faith podcast. It presented a great opportunity to highlight once again not only plethora of strawmen being burned with Molinist matches on the Internet these days, but it gave us the opportunity to delve into 1 Corinthians 3 and Isaiah 43 to demonstrate again the richness that comes from biblically based theology over against philosophically based speculations. Get a deep seat, this one goes just over two hours in length! Enjoy! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1216211532546239 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 16 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 2:10:59 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/121421192311436 Started off with the great video that came out today, "The Essence of James White," a wonderfully done little lark from the joke Justin Brierley made during the William Lane Craig discussion. Then we went with all that stuff that you can't talk about on YouTube, if you know what I mean: you know, the failed vaccines and the Omicron scare, etc. Then we shifted to theology and talked a bit about the discussion on divine simplicity, the role of natural theology, etc., going on in conservative Reformed circles right now. Then we looked at Tim Stratton's "EDD" argument, the idea that if you believe in "Exhaustive Divine Determinism" then you are left with "a god of deceit" who forces you to believe wrong things and therefore you can never know when you believe true things. We compared this silly philosophical trick with the Biblical perspective. Went just over 90 minutes today! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/121421192311436 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 14 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:37:42 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12921215535297 Well, I really was not trying to make today's program a pre-view of what is upcoming for my students when teaching Church History and Apologetics, but, we did cover that area. First portion of the program was a bit "in house," discussing the rise of Thomism in the midst of Reformed Baptists, so that some are accusing myself and Jeff Johnson and Owen Strachan of "heterodoxy" based upon their extremely narrow positions. Then we moved on to responding to arguments made by Tim Stratton and Tyson James, two Molinist proponents, focusing upon Stratton's reading of a single paragraph from Calvin and the concept of God as "the author of evil." Pointed argumentation to be sure. An hour and forty-five minutes in length. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12921215535297 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 09 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:48:03 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12721037464938 Started off welcoming Dr. Owen Strachan, Provost and Research Professor of Theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary who announced my appointment as Professor of Church History and Apologetics at the school. I am deeply honored to fulfill this calling in teaching a subject that has been my work for nearly four decades now. I truly pray the Lord will bless GBTS and its work in equipping men to the work of edifying the body of Christ in these challenging times. I had thought we would only have Dr. Strachan on for a few minutes but, I was foolish, and we went a full half hour. So in the last portion I addressed a new paper that appeared today that says what I had predicted weeks ago: the selection pressure that is driving mutations in covid are coming from the leaky, poorly thought out, ineffective "vaccines," not from the "unvaccinated." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12721037464938 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 06 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:00:27 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12521418201633 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/12521418201633 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 04 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:29:02 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/122211320164918 It was nice not to have to run a "words you can't say in 2021 in the US" filter today as we were not live streaming on YouTube. Discussed the spike protein, selection pressure, Fauci's constant lies, etc., as the Omicron Craze sweeps the nation. Briefly commented on the oral arguments from yesterday on the SC abortion case, was dragged off to briefly remind us of why TR Onlyism is a dead end by a Twitter message from Kofi, and finally dug into my response to Dr. Tim Stratton on the central claim of Molinism. Almost two hours! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/122211320164918 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 02 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:49:56 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1130212032175824 Two topics on the program today. Started off with a discussion of Kristin Kobes du Mez, a professor of history (yay!) and gender studies (seriously?) at Calvin University, that once bastion of Reformed thought that has moved from Reformed to Deformed in just a matter of decades. She wrote the Jesus and John Wayne book, if you are wondering. Then we moved back to the Molinism topic because, well, we have to! Just did the debate and I can guarantee you, all our Molinist friends will be in a frenzy for a while, so I want to make sure the conversations stay centered on what really matters. So get a deep seat and make sure you are ready for all the chatter that will be appearing, especially this coming Friday when the Unbelievable episode airs featuring my discussion with William Lane Craig. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1130212032175824 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:16:55 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1129211935217837 Did a quick (45 minute) episode today to do a post discussion/debate review of my encounter with William Lane Craig on Justin Brierley's Unbelievable program that we recorded just today (in fact, the DL aired less than 30 minutes after we concluded). I explained why I had not publicly discussed the upcoming encounter, went over some of the key issues to listen for when it airs (I think on Friday), etc. We plan on being back again tomorrow for a regular episode! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1129211935217837 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 29 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:49:31 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1126211855487057 First program after having our first episode taken down by Big Brother's minions in Big Tech. Discussed how we will respond to that and then went into why I am even here (I was supposed to be on the road today, beginning a three week trip) and how we will be rescheduling things in January and February. Then we went into a fairly lengthy discussion about the Papacy in light of Francis and his obvious variation from those who have come before him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1126211855487057 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 26 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:06 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1123211544487334 First half hour was on how lies, when they are repeated, take on a life of their own, and destroy everything that is good. Then we listened to William Lane Craig debating Paul Helm and keyed in on the central issue of Molinism, the fact that subjunctive conditionals exist and they do so outside of God's control. And today we got into more of a theological aspect of seeing how Molinism engages other elements of theology (such as sin, regeneration, etc.). https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1123211544487334 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 23 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:16:28 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1118211614134338 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. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1118211614134338 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 18 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:05:53 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1116211831278023 Quite a range today! Lots of stuff about leaky vaccines, mandates, and the New Austrian Gestapo strolling through the streets of Austria saying, "Your papers, please!" It's like no one reads books anymore. Then we looked at the contrast between the Chinese changing history and Isaiah telling us history is meaningful because God is its author. Then we dove into the Hebrew text for a while today, looking at Psalm 12 and what the "words of Yahweh" refer to in that Psalm, and then looking at the history of Psalm 110 in reference to Jewish apologists and unitarians as well. An hour and 15 minutes, but I'm sure the Dividing Line Highlights guys will chop her up for those with less time! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1116211831278023 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 16 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:18:48 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1111211624526176 Started off with a few minutes about the facts regarding the Kamala Cookies (forced vaccine mandates) and the reality that billions of dollars will buy you tons of lies. Then we moved back into reading and interacting with Dr. William Lane Craig's presentation of middle knowledge and Molinism in his book, The Only Wise God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1111211624526176 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:02:33 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1192114126347 Well, let me tell you, Rich is one happy camper. He got the bright idea today, really only a few hours before we started, to use Zoom to allow folks to call in to the program today. And…it worked. So I started off with about 20 minutes or so in response to a King James Only advocate giving a completely fictitious history of the TR and the KJV, and then we dove into the calls, both from landlines as well as Zoom. And man did we cover the topics! Colossians 2 and baptism related to the Church of Christ; Synoptic Christology; why Chris Hohnholz is a secret Elf fan; tips for doing street evangelism with tracts; importance of church history; the Eastern Orthodox doctrine of theosis; responding to common KJV Only claims, and finally a call on dispensationalism and the kingship of Jesus. Wow! Well, given how pleased Rich is, I can tell we will be doing that again, and Rich thinks we could actually pull it off in the big studio, which might allow me to put stuff up on the board in providing answers. We will see! Thanks to everyone who participated! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1192114126347 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 09 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:47:55 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/114211457393159 OK, we covered the waterfront again today! Let's see, started off with a response to some immature bullying on Twitter, and then moved on to this important and dangerous study regarding vaccines and the spike protein and the long-term degradation of the health and immunity that can result from that spoke protein. Then we moved into a completely different area, responding to this article in the Aquila Report promoting TR Onlyism. Finally, we moved back to our reading through William Lane Craig's presentation of Molinism and middle knowledge in The Only Wise God. A full show that went well over 90 minutes! Enjoy! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/114211457393159 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 04 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:40:31 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1028211430112442 Covered a wide variety of topics, starting off with a little information about our next trip (which you can help with here if you feel led to do so!) and then diving into current events focusing upon the rise of the Culture of Death. We looked at the new PCUSA "Climate" hymn, at the explosion of celebrations of perversity, the FDA's sell out on child experimentation, etc. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1028211430112442 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 28 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:02:10 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1026212322254848 An intense teaching program today looking at Psalm 2, Job 23, and Ephesians 1, before looking at comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig in his book, The Only Wise God. Almost 80 minutes in length. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1026212322254848 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 26 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:19:57 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1021211639291763 Well, it was actually OVER two hours long, and I still did not finish up, but we made good progress. First I responded to Evangelist Ted Alexander's comments wherein he not only identified Reformed theology as fundamentally Roman Catholic, but said I am a Catholic, and a plant in the church, etc. and etc. So, we demonstrated he is suffering from some serious cognitive dissonance to be sure. After that full refutation of his claims we moved back to Leighton Flowers and moved into the section where he proves, repeatedly that Provisionism has not efficacious grace. He has passive, powerless, unintentional provisions, but no powerful, purposeful, intentional grace. We will finish up our response to him later, but may not dedicate an entire episode of RFG to it, we will see. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/1021211639291763 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 21 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 2:06:36 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/10192114571434 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/10192114571434 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 19 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:43:31 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101821143094291 Since we are doing a major length Radio Free Geneva tomorrow, I needed to "clear the table" of the topics that have been piling up in my topics list. So we really covered the gamut, starting off with my thanks for having shared a great time with Skillet as they visited Phoenix last Friday. WE discussed the veneration of vaccines, the hubris of a Canadian judge in demanding that preachers include Big Brother's narrative in their sermons, and the hypocrisy of the ACLU. We noted the announced release of a new anti-Calvinism book from David Allen and Steve Lemke, and then we looked at a flyer advertising an upcoming event at the Metropolitan Tabernacle featuring Jeff Riddle promoting TR Onlyism. Finally we looked at a textual variant at John 9:38 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101821143094291 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:14:15 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101421133622707 First half hour was on a variety of topics, including upcoming trips (and an invitation for you to send your church's contact information to roadtrip@aomin.org) and a little on Thomas Aquinas. But then we went into the historical argumentation regarding the perpetual virginity of Mary as it was presented in this video demonstrating that, in essence, anything can be proven by using this form of argumentation. Instead, we went into the Scriptures, started at the foundation, and moved up from there. Hopefully will be helpful in identifying other specious forms of argumentation as well. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101421133622707 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 14 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:15:47 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101221235387718 Covered a range of items today but mainly looked at comments from the Provisionists on the nature of grace, and then looked at a defense of the new "Reformed Thomism" as well. Went nearly 80 minutes. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/101221235387718 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 12 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:22:41 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/109212123362217 I'm sort of in El Paso (but not quite), with one more stop tomorrow night before I get home. I was going to hoof it straight from here, as it is surely do-able, but the long, long hours are piling up after more than two weeks, so safety suggested stopping at an RV park I know halfway home tomorrow. Anyway, discussed cooking on the program today, specifically, Joe's cookies, you know, the ones he INSISTS you take if you want to work, etc.? Yeah, those cookies. Read a truly important thread from a person in Lithuania about the Covid Pass insanity there, and across Europe. Took the time to thank folks for their support of A&O over the years, then finished up looking at a few comments from Evangelist Ted Alexander, who was promoting KJV Only myths. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/109212123362217 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 09 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:27 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/10721205143801 I'm in Lindale, Texas with the well known Troublemaker of the same area, Tom Buck, so we talked about...lots of stuff, from SBC stuff, G3, the future, you name it.

James discussed more of the current events in the news, the travel schedule progress and even some CBGM discussion. We even took some questions from the audience.

I wandered all over the landscape, to be honest, so fasten your seat belt! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/927211851313206 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 27 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:00:35 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92621011486827 We chose to record today's DL just in case the connection went wonky and broke up. But, it didn't, and we managed to get about 70 minutes in today, mainly on two topics (with a brief trip report at the start). First, we discussed William Lane Craig, his views on Adam, and why this is pretty much just par for the course given the long interaction we have had with Dr. Craig's foundational positions. Then we addressed the baptism debate, raging yet once again due to Jared Longshore's departure from Founders due to his embracing of paedobaptism. Hopefully balanced and useful observations of the key issues in the debate, at least as the debate rages between Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists. I think that debate is very, very different than the debate with, for example, Lutherans on the same topic. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92621011486827 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 25 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:08:47 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92121193028571 Stumbled on a Soteriology 101 video asking if I am "right" about Matthew 23:37, so we dealt pretty fully with that new presentation for the first ninety minutes, then touched upon some other topics including Bart Barber's amazing defense of Ed Litton. Mega edition, two full hours! I head out on Road Trip #2, heading for G3, so programs for the next three weeks will be at odd times, so download the A&O App so you can know when we will be hitting the airwaves! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92121193028571 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 21 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 2:01:21 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/91621165896301 Third show of the week as we are preparing for the start of Road Trip #2 next week. Started off with some complicated stuff about ADE and mRNA vaccines and the dangerous rise in cases and infections amongst the vaccinated and why this is taking place. Then we, reluctantly, dealt with the Litton affair again, pointing out the utter absurdity of the defenses and excuses that are being offered by an entire cadre of paid apologists—paid for with the funds given by churches ostensibly to promote the gospel and the kingdom. The SBC deep state is alive and well and not really hiding much either. Then we went back to Hank Hanegraaff on the topic of the eucharist in the early church to finish off the program. Of course, we will be doing our level best to do as many programs as I can possibly fit into my travel schedule beginning next week! I truly enjoyed doing programs from our mobile command center in various locations a few weeks ago, and now as I head for Conway, Atlanta, Niceville, Lindale and other places, I am looking forward to it again! Prayers for safe travel much appreciated! This trip logs in at 4,100 miles. When you contribute to the Travel Fund you are helping make it all happen!

Included a short five minute sermon for us all at the end! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/91021134454435 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 10 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:08:38 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/97211935553110 I do not know how to title a wide ranging program like today's! We discussed the Buttigieg adoption scandal, Jory Micah's racism, the amazing crash of Ivermectin from 2015 Nobel Prize winning drug to 2021 horse-dewormer, and then a lengthy discussion of medical exemptions, including the statement Apologia Church has produced on the topic. I also read through an attack upon Christian conscience on the topic and responded to its many errors. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/97211935553110 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 07 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:16:46 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92211852127789 Started off with a great thread from Twitter on how abortion is the sacrament of the great religion of the State in light of the Texas abortion law and the responses from the left. Then we talked about unitarianism as a lead-in to the appointment of an atheist as the chief chaplain at Harvard (there is an historical connection), and finished up looking at the Ezekiel Declaration from Australia. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/92211852127789 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 02 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:24:24 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/8312117456885 The ECM volumes of Mark arrived ten minutes before the program started, so that sort of distracted me, so I spent some time talking textual issues, CBGM, etc., before moving to the Mormons and their fear of Covid. Talked a bit about the overwhelming flood of negative information and how we need to protect our joy from the corrosive influence of today's context. Then we finished up Gregory's confession from 265. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/8312117456885 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 31 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:13:54 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/82621134438609 Not sure it was fair I had to compete with the President's speech (which a friend described as a sleepy grandpa trying to talk at 2am), but we covered some neat upcoming events (mainly on the trip to and from G3), talked about some fundamental and foundational issues relating to Romans 13, and finished up looking at a flurry of new studies and papers related to the ongoing politicization of the Covid 19 story. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/82621134438609 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 26 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:12:46 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/82421184621705 We were joined by Nathan Cravatt who did a King James Bible debate a few weeks ago, deep in the heart of KJVO country. We discussed his background and how the debate went, and played and discussed some clips as well. Nearly 75 minutes of helpful discussion especially if you have fundamentalist friends caught up in the KJV Only movement. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/82421184621705 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 24 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:16:13 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/823211853481264 Reported a bit more on the Road Trip, including playing a song we learned during the conference in Idaho (it's a right catchy tune that works real well if you have a peg leg and a hook hand), commented on the FDA approving vaccines for last year's virus at warp speed, and finally listened to the now infamous Todd Friel statement about wearing pinwheels to Publix as long as the government tells you to do so because...Romans 13!

And that embarrassing situation is directly connected to the fall of Kabul, and we explained by at the start of the program today. Then we talked vaccine mandates and what they are really all about, before jumping back into Surah 4:171 and really digging into the Islamic topic once again. Thanks for making these programs possible as you support the Travel Fund and A&O in general! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/818212351402794 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 18 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:01 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/81621205492974 Considered the implications of the rapid fall of Afghanistan back into the control of the Taliban at the start of the program, then gave a report from my time in Moscow at the Grace Agenda Conference, NSA Commencement, and preaching at Christ Church. Then looked a bit at the release of Mark in the ECM and the release of the CBGM modules, along with the reading at Mark 1:1, and then finished up with starting to look at Surah 4 and its misunderstanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/81621205492974 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 16 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:03:49 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/81021223253839 Yeah, I know. I did warn everyone beforehand saying this would be a seminary-level program, and, well, it was. Just a little discussion of today's journey and where I am before getting into Gregory's confession of faith once again. For some reason I really felt like I need to provide a lot of background information today, so, I did. After spending some time with Gregory I moved over to the Islamic area and started working toward making the case that the Qur'an does, in fact, misrepresent the Christian faith, and in particular, the Trinity, but again I spent so much time giving background information I never even got started! But we will get into it. If you like this kind of study, you'll enjoy this one.

Then we looked at a wild-eyed leftist woman preacher from Canada who decides the Great Commission isn't all that great after all. Some important historical material there, so don't miss that!

Evans this morning), then noted the continued destruction of the Constitution in the United States by the current Regime, and then moved to an in-depth discussion of Gregory of Nyssa's concluding sentences in his brief epistle, "On Not Three Gods," once again allowing us to address the issue of the Trinity. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/8521235035846 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 05 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:03:43 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/8221213925962 We did another Road Trip DL today and we had our first special guest, Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute! We "geeked out" (according to my daughter) about fractals and science and worldview. It was a lot of fun!

Gave a good bit of background information, too. An important study, I hope you will be blessed! Also, I gave to quotes, one each from Blaise Pascal and John Flavel, which I provide here: Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it. It is merely feeble if it does not go as far as to realize that. BLAISE PASCAL, PENSEES 188 I know there is nothing in the Word or in the works of God that is repugnant to sound reason, but there are some things which are opposite to carnal reason, as well as above right reason; and therefore our reason never shows itself more unreasonable than in summoning those things to its bar which transcend its sphere and capacity.

I am on day #1 of 22 on the road. Today was a big, big test, with some of the longest, steepest climbs in all of my trip. I did not know, until today, if our truck/5th wheel combination would handle today (the unit would be heavy due to having a lot of supplies for the trip in it). Well, all went well, and I am ecstatic. Then we used our own in-unit WiFi for the program and—not a single hiccup! I know some places will throw us curves, but today was encouraging and exciting! Started off with a little report on the trip, of course, then talked a bit about Jason Lisle's new book, Fractals, The Secret Code of Creation https://biblicalscienceinstitute.com/product/fractals/ . Do not stop, do not pass go, click on the link and get your copy! Then we talked about the continuing weaponization of science and medicine (by the way, I need to spend some time talking about how the Christian worldview prohibits such things and provides a moral and ethical foundation for the practice of science and medicine, a foundation denied by modern secularism) before moving on to examining a brief clip from Dr. Jarvis Williams from 2018 about "whiteness" in academia. Then we got into looking at Calvin in light of his having been cited in the debate last week with Jake Brancatella. We read through Institutes I:XIII:15-17, and we will pick up from there on the program tomorrow, Lord willing! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/72821222483953 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:13:36 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/722211310495367 A one hour forty minute Christian/Muslim debate on a key and important issue. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/722211310495367 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 22 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:51:02 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/720211451404859 We spent today looking at the argument of Dr. Douglas Stauffer in his attempted defense of the King James Bible relating to Titus 2:13, specifically. Of course, we provided a lot of background, dove into the text, even took at look at P72, the earliest papyri manuscript of 2 Peter (another Granville Sharp Construction location). So if you are into the history of the Bible, the KJV issue, witnessing to Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., this is a program for you! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/720211451404859 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:10:15 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/715211325332578 If the last DL caused you to lose sleep because of the creepy stuff we played from the global elites, today's clips from our governmental overlords will probably produce more insomnia. Sorry, but while there is still some daylight left, expose the unfruitful works of darkness. After a half hour of that (including reading Amy Grant's comments about welcoming the LGBTQ movement) I moved on to a review of key statements by Dr. Robert Gagnon, now of Houston Baptist University, on the subject of soteriology, and specifically regarding his claim that true, regenerate believers can be lost by not "maintaining their election." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/715211325332578 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 15 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:11:05 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/713212019252129 Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer's claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they were creepy). Talked about Leighton Flowers a bit, and Rich tells me a fellow in Twitter wrote to tell me that LF is not, actually, Southern Baptist, or, at least, works for a non-SBC entity, and hence could embrace Open Theism without a problem. I know years ago he was associated with Paige Patterson and Southwestern, but, things change. I still think he would be worried about the stigma still associated with the position, but maybe the attraction will get to him eventually. Anyway, lots of worldview analysis today on the program. Wrapped up with a few minutes in response to Sam Shamoun's recent rant. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/713212019252129 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 13 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:02:00 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/71221202641141 Today we examined this article by Eric Kemp (following the claims of someone named Drew McLeod) that tries to argue that John 6 is only about the Apostles, and is not relevant to anyone alive today. We have examined many dozens of attempts to get around the teachings of John 6 over the years, and this one ranks right down toward the bottom of the list, merit wise. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/71221202641141 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:04:40 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/78211331122270 Spent some time talking about how Australia has fallen into the pit of totalitarianism, then did an unplanned discussion of the Legacy Standard Bible's reading at Jude 5 and the upcoming ECM volumes (and CBGM data) for Mark that will be available in about three weeks. Moved from there to a discussion of the "debate" of some kind between Michael Brown and William Albrecht, which then took us to a brief interaction with Trent Horn's claims. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/78211331122270 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 08 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:02:09 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/76211329594427 Not the most descriptive title, is it? Basically covered more on the SBC plagiarism scandal, reviewing some of what I included in my article about Tim Keller's "being a heterosexual won't get you to heaven" silliness, and how it was picked up by, and repeated by, so many others. We looked at the Docent Research Group, and wondered out loud how much they charge per sermon, and how any of this is considered acceptable by anyone at all. Then we looked at a clip from Cross Examined, Dr. Frank Turek's ministry, where he interacts with a woman whose mother is a Roman Catholic, and Dr. Turek's response regarding what actually defines the gospel. Finally we got back into Gregory's confession of faith for the last few minutes of the program, before Rich reminded me to mention the Travel Fund (upcoming trips, the 5th wheel trailer) and the stops we will be making in Colorado and elsewhere. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/76211329594427 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 06 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:18:27 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/630212017197025 Did another program from up here in Prescott Valley, Arizona, looking at some amazing actions of Big Brother as he seeks to establish his totalitarian regime. Then we looked at the amazing documentation coming out about the blatant plagiarization of sermon material by Ed Litton, the new President of the SBC, and finished up at the end with more exciting material from the early church about the Trinity and the deity of Christ. Enjoy! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/630212017197025 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 30 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:28 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/62921205211979 So I am thrilled to be on my first day of a "test run" with the new A&O "mobile command center," our 5th wheel unit that I will be using to do a major western loop at the end of July into mid August, and then across the nation to G3 at the end of September as well. The truck/trailer combination passed the big test of climbing Sunset Point, a major accomplishment! We had a great show today on the technical level anyway, for which I am thankful as well. We covered the IRS's rejection of a Christian ministry's application for non-profit status based upon (seriously) the fact that the Bible's teachings line up with the Republican party. Then we thought about what it means that Pope Francis can write a congratulatory letter to Fr. James Martin, a Jesuit priest well known for his promotion of LGBTQ causes (see here). Then we finished up looking a little more deeply at Gregory's confession of faith from around AD 265, digging into its biblical foundations. If we manage a program tomorrow, we will continue that study. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/62921205211979 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 29 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:37 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/628212124344345 Just a quick program today from the Mobile Command Center.

I was a little distracted by some of the details, but I can see it will be a great spot for future programs. We looked briefly at some wild statements from Dr. Dale Tuggy, "analytical philosopher unitarian extraordinaire," as he pontificated upon the dullards down below him in the intellectual scale. In the process we discussed the priority of divine revelation over philosophical categories and the need to keep the proper order in view. Should be back in the AOMobile next Tuesday, but this time, for the first time, seriously "on the road" during a brief test run up north here in Arizona. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/62421165262315 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 24 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:57:20 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/62221133202698 The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God's law concerning the family and sexual activity. Then in the second half hour we returned to looking at Jimmy Akin's arguments against sola scriptura in his book, this week including a quick look at a great quote from John Chrysostom. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/62221133202698 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:01:21 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/616212035227109 Well, Rich and I had other plans today, but those fell through (after taking all morning), so we drove to the office and put together a quick DL featuring The Troublemaker from Texas,™ Dr. Tom Buck, and then following him up with another true troublemaker as well, my own fellow pastor at Apologia Church, Jeff "The Ninja" Durbin. Tom told us about all the political stuff going on while Jeff brought us up to speed on the abolish abortion resolution and how the SBC Deep State even opposed that resolution (in league with the pro-life industry). Had a bit of a technical hiccup right at the end of our talk with Tom but Rich tells me it isn't major.

We will start talking to churches real soon so as to get as much ministry benefit from traveling as possible. So, I am speaking at G3 in late September, so, I will schedule stops at locations on the way across country and speak in churches that invite me in on a wide variety of topics. We have re-activated the travel fund here https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/support-us/ if you would like to help us defray the rather substantial initial investment. We also discussed Thomas Horrocks and the Christian worldview, Jeff Durbin's dialogue with Lizzy, and finally the discussion that took place between Mike Winger and Leighton Flowers on open theism. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/61211547121328 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 01 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:08:08 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/52721132947343 Shared some wonderful stories from my trip to Pryor, meeting folks, etc., like I used to get to do before 2020! Also talked about how we want to try to visit more churches in the future, looking to do "road trips" where I use a 5th wheel situation to visit churches as I go. We have re-activated the travel fund link in anticipation of getting this set up as soon as possible. We will share more details as we work quickly to get things set up. Then we moved to a discussion of the "Muslim Metaphysician," Jake Brancatella's materials as they are found on line. We've invited Jake to be on the program a week from today to discuss his approach and his history, and he has agreed to join us, so mark that down on your calendar and join us live! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/52721132947343 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 27 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:20:46 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/513211326217894 Joe Biden told everyone their choice is clear: live in masks or take Dr. Fauci's Genetic Wonder Oil via tweet right as the program started, so we talked about that a bit. Spent about twenty minutes on the assertion that the ESV is "removing" things from the Bible in reference to effeminacy, etc., then moved to a quick overview of the "Junia the Apostle" argument in Romans 16, and finished up with more on sola scriptura and Jimmy Akin's claims. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/513211326217894 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 13 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:18:50 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/511211326215789 Started off with worldview issues, including the necessary and inevitable attack upon Christian teaching by secularizing governments in the West, but eventually moved to an extended discussion of Paul's words to Timothy about women teaching and exercising authority over men. Lots of basic hermeneutics/exegesis issues covered today. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/511211326215789 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 11 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:26:21 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/56211450393584 Three main topics today on a 75 minute edition of the Dividing Line: first, asking what Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, means by "white nature" and where this concept comes from. Second, we look at the trailer for the 1946 movie that is being fund-raised for right now regarding the alleged "mistake" in translating arsenokoites at 1 Corinthians 6:9 as "homosexual." Third, we looked at more from Jimmy Akin's book, The Bible is a Catholic Book regarding authority. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/56211450393584 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 06 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:15:51 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/54211542214923 First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn's response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant "distortions" of church history, focusing upon the idea of "the argument from silence." Almost an hour and 45 minutes today! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/54211542214923 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 04 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:43:24 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/429211350355583 I did this program after doing Iron Sharpens Iron with Chris Arnzen, so this was sort of "hour three," so I can't claim there was a great deal of order to my thoughts. But aside from the start (where I talked about cycling, sorry), I spent most of the time considering the ramifications of the President's speech before Congress last night. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/429211350355583 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 29 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:55:34 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/42721146595445 Over the weekend I was directed to a video presentation of Hank Hanegraaff not only promoting the perpetual virginity of Mary, but apologizing for having ever done otherwise. I felt it was appropriate, and actually necessary, to respond to his arguments. But, we started off with the historical background you will never hear from those promoting the belief. An hour and forty minutes in length. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/42721146595445 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 27 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:43:37 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/42021135051644 The initial verdict came down right at the start of the program but we pressed on anyway! We looked at the Rob Hoogland situation in Canada and the essence of transgender insanity. We looked at the "horrible damage" Samuel Sey did at Ambrose by…speaking words (the horror!). Discovered that some folks think there is no "threat of CRT" in the SBC or anywhere else. Looked briefly at Trent Horn on the subject of "co-evangelization," and also looked at Bart Ehrman's ignorance of the NT's witness to Jesus as Yahweh. Finished up responding to our good brother Kris Williams on the issue of the term "theonomy" in light of a comment he made on Twitter a few days ago. A jumbo edition today! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/42021135051644 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 20 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:31:26 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/415211319266289 Continued our response to Trent Horn's "Protestant Distortions of Church History" lecture from 2019, delving into the Didache, priesthood, and Irenaeus, and likewise discussing proposed debate topics with Catholic Answers. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/415211319266289 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 15 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:18:37 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/413211433286053 Started off with a reminder that we are fast approaching (later this week) the 500th anniversary of Luther's appearance at the Diet of Worms, and discussed the significance of that. Then we covered a few topics like Marty Duren's hit-piece on Faultlines by Voddie Baucham and the coming vaccine passports (in light of the volcanic eruption down in the Caribbean), then took phone calls on the Golden Chain in Romans 8, the Old Testament and the Trinity, being faithful in the military under a godless regime, the Roman Catholic concept of limbo, textual criticism in the Old Testament, and finally a nice easy question on the origin of evil. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/413211433286053 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 13 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:20:40 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/48211323534472 Just had to talk about the tyranny of the government in Alberta, Canada and the closure of Grace Life Church. Two sets of fences have been placed around the building and while the same government lets child predators loose into the community they are expending manpower guarding against those horrible Christians who might meet and sing praises to God and result in the entire nation dying of Covid19 (ok, well, 99.97% of folks under 70 won't die but it sounds so much more dramatic the other way). We pointed out that they were "living the lie" as all the guards are all masked up…out doors in the wonderful Spring Canadian wind (making viral transmission about as likely as being hit, twice, from different directions, by meteorites). Then we moved on to Dr. Anthony Bradley's kind remote diagnosis of myself and Owen Strachan and Tom Buck as suffering from "paranoid personality disorder" due to our "fixation" on "wokeness." We examined his scholarly conclusions and then moved to an examination of Paul's words to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 12:10ff, looking at the context in ancient Corinth, the challenges for unity in the church in that city, and the apostolic (in opposition to woke) conclusions as to how to bring that unity about. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/48211323534472 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 08 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:05:07 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/462115853351 We looked at the UN's strange, Marxist utopian vision in "Equiterra," and pointed out that a biblical understanding of man exposes the foolishness of this humanistic vision. Then we took some time to dive into Acts 2:23 exegetically in light of the dispute that erupted over Dr. Buice's comments about the crucifixion. Then we continued our response to Trent Horn's presentation of Protestant distortions of church history, focusing today especially upon Trent's attempt to use a citation from Geisler and MacKenzie as an example of just such a "distortion." This gave us the chance to look at Justin Martyr and his context as well. Almost 90 minutes today. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/462115853351 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 06 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:27:12 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/45211445264344 That wasn't the only topic we covered today, as we looked at a number of items, but in general we looked at the reaction that erupted to a simple tweet from Dr. Josh Buice, a reaction that came from staff or students at the three largest Southern Baptist seminaries. We also looked at what wokeness does to one's theology from a few sources as well. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/45211445264344 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 05 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:21:21 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/4121316402175 Discussed the promise of Scripture, "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet," and considered how we have to think past surface level conclusions so we can truly understand the point. Then we started looking at various "wokeplosions" (and there are many), finishing up with Jemar Tisby's joining Ibram Kendi at the Anti-Racism Center, and what this means. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/4121316402175 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:01:03 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/33021133618781 I started to get into Pope Francis' comments on Mary as co-redemptrix with Christ when I discovered that the Keynote presentation I had cued up included a picture of me and Gerry Matatics in the studio at WEZE in Boston from (someone hand me the Geritol) 1993, so I took the time to give all the background to the story. So about 45 minutes on that topic, then we talked about Kyle James Howard saying you can divorce an "unrepentant white supremacist" if you are in a mixed-race marriage, and finally we looked at a graphic from Soteriology 101 asking what the difference between the Potter and the pot is in comparison to the puppet master and the puppet. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/33021133618781 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 30 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:16:38 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/329211329515910 Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John's testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/329211329515910 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 29 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:57:00 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/32521420485656 Just one topic today as we had one guest, Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute up in Canada, pastor of the Westminster Chapel, and author of The Mission of God.

He made these comments while seated in front of the inscription of The Great Commission from Matthew 28 right behind him, which, if considered properly, is an excellent refutation of his position. Also, don't forget this coming Thursday we will be joined by Dr. Joseph Boot of the Ezra Institute, author of The Mission of God, to discuss a whole gamut of topics, from Bill C6 in Canada to R2K Theology. Join us! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/323211441396098 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:07:18 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/318211544218093 So Jory Micah says she will be more than happy to send the FBI after me (and Johnny Mac and Doug Wilson—not sure how I got top billing, but I know Doug is wondering, too) for promoting "hate" amongst young men (I think she was trying to blame me for the Atlanta area sex addiction shooter, but as with all things Jory Micah, it is hard to know). But others, like Anthony Bradley and Jemar Tisby had to jump on the "blame it to promote the narrative" bandwagon as well. Which led to us listening to Ally Henny of The Witness "preaching" about how blacks need to leave their mixed-race churches and self-segregate, all on the basis of refusing to forgive, but rather choosing to nourish and encourage a root of bitterness in their souls. An amazing "sermon" indeed. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/318211544218093 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 18 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:18:41 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/31721146217560 We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig's comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with the assertion made by Warren McGrew that 2 Timothy 1:9 is not related to the sacrifice of Christ. We had a few issues, including losing the audio toward the start, but got it fixed fairly quickly (our apologies—but honest, it worked fifteen minutes before the program started!). That Flip Board must have been designed by the guy who made Windows Vista, but…we move on! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/31721146217560 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 17 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:54:59 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/31621155356550 Managed to keep things relatively short today after yesterday's two and a half hour marathon, going only an hour and twenty minutes today. Looked at various "woke explosions," including the published commentary from Dr. Willie James Jennings of Yale on the book of Acts. Then we got back into Trent Horn's presentation on church fathers from 2019, going into some of the history of debates with Catholic Answers going back to 1990. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/31621155356550 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 16 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:25:21 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/315211331267527 Yeah, well, there you go! And another program tomorrow! Stuff started piling up, so, we went long. Started off with Cambridge, MA legalizing polyamory, discussed what is motivating this degradation of the entire culture, discussed Rome's refusal to bless same-sex marriages, and looked at bit at the centrality of a Christian worldview. Then transitioned into Michael Lofton's opening statement in a debate with Chris Date, demonstrating the role of sola ecclesia in Roman Catholic theology, epistemology and apologetics. Then finally got to a lengthy section responding to Warren McGrew's response to last week's program discussing Judas and John 13, playing a major portion of his response and demonstrating its essential errors. Two and a half hours, and tomorrow we will start off with our Trent Horn response, but I did forget one other element in McGrew's claims I wanted to deal with, so we will probably revisit that as well. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/315211331267527 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 2:33:26 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/311211829471976 Two portions to the program today, the first dealing with Warren McGrew and the question, "Could Judas have done the right thing and not betrayed Jesus?" in reference to Jesus' self-identification in John 13:19. Interesting stuff! Then we looked at Preston Sprinkle's new book, Embodied, and examined his defense of "pronoun hospitality." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/311211829471976 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:22:22 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/392113982786 How do we think presuppositionally? Today we took at look at two issues, one with Brandan Robertson and his "Jesus was a racist" video, and then on to a debate on Open Theism with Chris Fisher, and his amazing claim that Yahweh gains knowledge by "counting water" in Isaiah 40:12. Hopefully helpful examples and teaching! https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/392113982786 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 09 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:26:24 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/34211542403612 Had a great time talking with John Cooper of Skillet today about his book, life, music, regrets, and victories. Really encouraging. Having some blocking issues (we played some music and the algorithms got us again!) but they should be cleared up fairly quickly since we submitted the clearance for them many hours before we did the show. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/34211542403612 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 04 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 2:23:41 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/35211918185752 An exegetically based response to Provisionism https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/35211918185752 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 04 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:52:37 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/33212132293727 I did a quick teaching DL from home today to respond to the following meme (and briefly to one other that I don't want to display). I used a little screen annotation app I grabbed to do a little "Flip Board without the Flip Board" exegesis in Ephesians 1 to once again expose the man-centeredness of Provisionism's vain attempts to find a way to control the free and sovereign grace of God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/33212132293727 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 03 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 0:58:54 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/32211342391240 I was joined by Dr. Stephen Boyce of City Light Church who has been doing a great deal of in-depth study into "1 Clement," and we spent over an hour delving into this wonderful early Christian writing.

We talked things SBC as well as about the book of Hebrews, how to preach it, who wrote it, etc. Then toward the end of the program I made some comments about the McGrew/Slick debate on "total depravity" (I just looked and it took place November 30th of last year), and I looked at 1 Corinthians 1 as a needed context to deal with the issues raised in the debate.

Also looked at a few other notables, such as Jory Micah.

That took up the vast majority of our time (including looking at the "I would not believe the gospel except for the testimony of the Catholic Church" quote), but at the start I explained why I am wearing a Rush Limbaugh "No Boundaries" tie as my tribute to El Rushbo, and then we took time to remember James Coates who sits in Canadian jail for daring to tell the Canadian government that it is not lord over Christ's Church. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/21821143282730 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 18 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:45:59 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/21621141293201 Went long today, so get a deep seat in the proverbial saddle! Spent quite some time on the Max Lucado debacle wherein he apologizes for having spoken the truth 17 years ago—a truth that is now "hurtful." Then we moved on to the Ravi Zacharias scandal and developments therein. Finally I finished up with about half an hour on last evening's sermon on Psalm 2, 110, Isaiah 42:1-4, and 1 Corinthians 15:20ff, my apologetic for having entered, tardily, and late in life, into the postmillennial camp (I must say, they have much better chips and salsa than the amils). I promised that I would link to this video presentation which is very well done which will help folks consider some of the key issues relating to the topic. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/21621141293201 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Dr. James White 1:48:10 no Dr. James White - The Dividing Line 2021 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/aominorg/sermons/21121149226219 The title hard does it justice.

Since this kind of falsehood gets passed around like candy corn on the playground before lunch, all Christians, but especially our young folks, need to know the truth and be able to give a response.
