As promised I began playing the entirety of Zach Lambert’s sermon, preached early last year, about “Homophobia and Transphobia.” He had linked to it as representative of his position, and in the opening of the sermon he says he spent more time preparing for that sermon than any other, so it seems fair to address it. It is a classic example of “cultural eisegesis,” and since it is the essence of modern “Christian” homosexual apologetics, everyone needs to learn to recognize it, and refute it. We will continue the study and response on Thursday, Lord willing! 1:55 today!

Our ISP is having a hard day today. We lose our connectivity every few minutes, and maintain it only erratically. So, that may impact the DL this afternoon. Right now, we, just like the God of Open Theism, do not know what the future holds. So if you try connecting up at 4pm MST and there’s nothing there, you’ll know

Well, it was hot in Phoenix today, and our AC was not working, so that’s why it was a “warm” Dividing Line! First program back after my trip to Alaska, so, I meandered a bit. Announced we will be doing a Radio Free Geneva on Thursday, and took calls on various topics, including teaching kids about the sinfulness of man

James White, October 17, 2023October 17, 2023, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism Tale of two programs today, sort of. First 35 minutes or so were on Jeffery Riddle claiming they will be changing the NT in 200 places in the upcoming (24/25) NA29th edition, and what that is all about. Discussed ECM/CBGM, etc. For those interested in textual issues, you will enjoy that portion. Then we switched over to the “Christian Nationalism” topic prompted by a series of tweets from Doug Wilson and Owen Strachan. Gave my position very fully and then interacted with both brothers, as that always helps to clarify things. Realized after the program was over I was going to look at the article posted at G3 today that I found very interesting, but ran out of time. Tomorrow I will be joined by one of the Navy SEALS who fought against the Regime’s dangerous vaccine mandates, so join us at 3pm EDT for that!

James White, October 11, 2023October 11, 2023, Debate, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line Given the continuing conflict in the Middle East, we looked at the comments from the head of Hamas, looked at the concept of “the world at war” and “the world at peace,” and then worked through a short clip of a Muslim debater arguing against the clarity of the Christian Scriptures. Then finished with a response to the explosion of amazing tweets and claims on Twitter since yesterday, including those saying I’ve been “bought off” by the “globalists” (yes, seriously, someone suggested that).

In light of recent events in Israel we took the first 55 minutes or so of the program to review issues in Islam, looking at the Qur’an and hadith to understand the animus Islam produces toward the Jews. It’s been quite a while since we did any in-depth discussion of Islam, so I provided a lot of basic explanations of terms, etc. Then we moved to the events of Saturday and our 40th anniversary celebration. I played a video, and then looked at some of the pictures from our slideshow, taking a walk down memory lane. Old folks like doing things like that.

Well, I’m not sure how to blog all of this. Since we live streamed the presentation summarizing the case against Ergun Caner Tuesday evening from Lindale, Rich decided, “Hey, we can do that.” So, we are now live streaming the Dividing Line. I have no idea why anyone would want to watch me sitting there talking, but, evidently, people do.

Finished up our response to Trent Horn on the topic of theopneustos, which we began two programs ago. But, I have started reading Rosaria Butterfield’s new book, Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age, which is due to be released on September 12th, and I shared a few quotes and thoughts that are directly relevant to the debate in Manheim, PA,

Covered the vast wide countryside of theology and apologetics today, including a review of the Free Speech Apocalypse movie (and some non-spoiler comments about The Martian!), a brief listen to one of the candidates for the Kentucky Baptist Convention presidency, one of the audience questions from the recent atheist debate, and finally, after a bit more wandering about, nearly an

Advertising?  Me?  Well, sorta, I guess.  But here’s the reason:  I get lots and lots and lots of folks asking me, especially on social media, to function as an online bibliography production device.  I just don’t carry that kind of info around with me.  Sometimes I can help, but most of the time I cannot stop and do the research
