James White, October 14, 2021October 14, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line 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 [email protected]) 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.

James White, October 9, 2021October 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters 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.

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. Hopefully our discussions will be edifying to those facing many of the same challenges we are.

James and I sat down at the AOMin booth at G3 today and recorded a very special Dividing Line in front of a live audience. 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. Enjoy.

James White, September 25, 2021September 25, 2021, Church History, Debate, Federal Vision, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line 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.
