James White, October 24, 2024October 24, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Offense, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line After a few minutes of the inevitable talk about being on the road, going through a McDonald’s drive-thru looking for Donald Trump, and the current election situation, I commented on the Steven Anderson saga, and then spent the rest of the program talking about the claims Ammon Hillman made in the full 3.5 hour interview from which the short snippet was taken on the last Dividing Line. Serious, heavy, challenging stuff.

On the May 8, 2008, edition of Catholic Answers Live, I was amazed to hear Steve Ray reference (seemingly approvingly) a book called, “The Secret of the Rosary,” for the idea that wearing a rosary “around your neck keeps the Devil away – it keeps the evil powers away, because they hate the rosary and they hate the crucifix …

I’m doing three programs today, one up in Canada, then the DL, and then Marlon Wilson’s show on YouTube. Hope the voice holds out! Talked about memorizing Scripture in my youth, the value of paper Bibles, the value of a Christian home. Then talked a bit about the craziness in our political scene right now, then talked a bit about Jacob Brunton, and then Leighton Flowers.

Didn’t pull any punches today, folks. When the Nazis come after you it is time to shoot straight in return. Took on some nasty players today, but had to provide background information on, for example, the origination of the Mishnah, Gemara, and Talmud, etc. Hopefully useful to everyone, and a warning for those trying to “sneak in” to the church with their hatred.

James White, October 8, 2024October 8, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to exhaustion and breadth of definition). An hour and 20 minutes today.

Spent the entire program Thursday responding to one of Bart Ehrman’s recent interviews on National Public Radio. Ehrman’s most recent book, Misquoting Jesus, is making the rounds amongst the enemies of the faith, and in this particular interview, he speaks much of his past as an evangelical, giving us some insights into how one goes from MBI graduate/strong evangelical to

James White, October 1, 2024October 1, 2024, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity It’s been quite the day today (dock workers strike, stock market, Iran attacking Israel), so I pondered a bit about the flood of information that comes at us, now instantly, and how that was not the case only a few decades ago. We talked about the need to form, and practice, a Christian worldview in these very challenging times. Then we switched over to a number of tweets by Stephen Wolfe, including one he “sub-tweeted” at me. Hopefully useful distinctions laid out.

Well, we kept the lines open for all the brave souls on the Envoy forums to call today, but they didn’t call! I’m shocked and disappointed. Well, OK, not really. So, the first half hour was all about the Sippo/Rutland melt-down, then we took some calls. Here’s the program.

I was running the program alone today and forgot to get the music ready, so…not overly professional today! But, spent the first half hour on the survey that showed a huge percentage of young women voters whose primary concern is their ability to kill babies, and why this horrific reality is present in the West today. There is much to consider. Then we moved on to changes in the Salt Lake City Temple of the LDS Church, which is scheduled to re-open in 2026, and what they reflect in the changes in Mormonism as well. And then we briefly commented on more comments by Pope Francis that illustrate his heterodoxy as far as the historical position of Rome is concerned.
