Today on The Dividing Line
05/29/2008 - James White
Started out with a period of mourning for the demotion of Tim Staples from one of the "Church's foremost Biblical scholars" to just "a top apologist." We are still pondering whether we should send a dozen Tulips as a consolation prize. Then we looked at Hamza Yusuf repeating the "Nicea set the canon" myth, and then played a random clip from Grasshopperjax, the KJV Only fellow who has posted a 23-part reply to my book on KJV Onlyism. Also took a call on...the epistemology of ultimate authorities. Another eclectic Dividing Line!. Here's the program (free/high quality).Then, just for fun, a random comment just posted in channel: (Fibster^) When you're in school, and there's a fire alarm you have to line up in a single file line from shortest to tallest. What is the logic? Do tall people burn slower?

Today on The Dividing Line
05/27/2008 - James White
Started off with a story DA Carson told about CH Dodd and the meaning of propitiation, moved on to an LDS blog article, and then in the last half of the program, finished up the Steve Ray "verses I didn't see as a Protestant on the Eucharist" material, including Jerusalem Jones' "Bloop in and out of the Bubble" analogy. You have to hear it to believe it! Here's the program (free/high quality).17:22:00 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Accusations from 1998 Refuted and Steve Ray Review Continued on The Dividing Line
05/22/2008 - James White
Today on the Dividing Line I took the time to review and refute the accusations published nearly a decade ago in Interpretation by D.H. Williams relating to his very poor reading of my chapter in the Soli Deo Gloria book and his provision of a footnote in which he made some negative comments. This footnote had been recently posted by a convert to Rome, so I decided to examine it. Of course, someone else could have done that and realized the accusations were not overly weighty, but---well, you know why folks like a convert to Roman Catholicism wouldn't do that. Anyway, that took the first half hour, and involved a discussion of Athanasius and his view of authority. Then we went back to Steve Ray and his "verses" he never saw as a Baptist on the topic of the Eucharist.

On the Special Friday Edition of The Dividing Line: There is No Such Thing as Homosexual Marriage
05/16/2008 - James White
Yesterday four radical judicial revolutionaries decided to overthrow centuries of practice and law and create a monstrosity called "gay marriage." No such thing exists. That is like a round square, or a light of darkness. Marriage is not defined by judges who believe themselves free to create new realities. Marriage is a divine institution. But yesterday, the far-reaching proclamation (it wasn't a decision) of the CA Supreme Court made historic and biblical Christianity officially bigoted by granting civils rights on the basis of deviant sexual practice. This is an abuse of sexuality, marriage, children, families, and the nation as a whole. That was our subject on the DL today. Here's the program (free/high quality).14:09:33 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -

On the Dividing Line Today: a KJV Only Modalist, a Call on the KJV and Arminianism, and a Response to an E-Mail Inquiry on Reformed Theology
05/08/2008 - James White
Today on The Dividing Line I began by answering a question from a listener on why Reformed theology is important, and then I began examining some of the claims of YouTube's "KingJamesVideoMan" regarding his denial of the Trinity and promotion of modalism. Here's the program (free/high quality).18:51:26 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
A Most Unusual Dividing Line
05/06/2008 - James White
This morning I started reading through James E. Cone's Black Theology & Black Power. I had ordered the book since Jeremiah Wright had insisted that to understand his views, you have to read Cone. So, today, I started reading quotations from Cone's book on the program. Racism breeds heresy, and Cone's racism is absolutely beyond words. It is tremendously sad to read "Christianized racism," whether the purveyor of it is white, tan, brown, or black. It remains horrific all the same. Heresy is heresy, and this perversion of Christianity needs to be identified for what it is, and believers need to be quick to condemn it and all it stands for. A fast moving program, to be sure. Here's the program (free/high quality).15:19:09 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Today on The Dividing Line
05/01/2008 - James White
Made my one poor caller wait till the last portion of the program as I reviewed some more of the Greer-Heard discussions. Talked a bit about Dan Wallace and the concept of preservation, then listened as Bart Ehrman replied--sorta--to Dan Wallace's opening statement. Lots of discussion of the text, its transmission, etc. Here's the program (free/high quality).20:57:35 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
