We had a solid internet connection so we did a full program including playing a “Mystics of India” video and responding to it, and then playing a video from Norman Geisler on the necessity of Thomas Aquinas for Evangelicals. Oddly enough, the two topics connected together fairly well!

Some Voices from the Past, the Importance of Biblicism
Other than discussing some upcoming events (such as the debate in Pennsylvania), we took some time to listen to some voices from the past (Chrysostom, Jerome) and think about how things have changed. We also took some time to consider the definition of biblicism in the current controversy.

Travel Project Announcement, “What is Marriage?” Debate Review
James White, February 9, 2023February 9, 2023, Christian Worldview, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line We did another Road Trip DL today from Lafayette, Louisiana where I will be speaking for the weekend. Started off with a run down on a major project we are undertaking during this, our 40th Anniversary year. We are hoping to trade in our current fifth wheel unit for one that will allow us to trade some of my sleeping comfort for a fully functional webcasting and debating studio! The Dividing Line has become central as our means of communication and teaching, literally globally, so being able to do it better and expand the interviews and debates we can do would be a great addition to our work. You can go here to the drop down menu if you are led to help us with this project. Then I did a review of last night’s debate with Keith Giles on “What is Marriage,” and responded to his claims about Jewish sources and the supposed “six genders,” including discussion of the Mishnah, Gemara, Talmud, etc.

Aquinas Invades the Reformed Baptists, Tim Stratton Continued
James White, December 9, 2021December 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line 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.
