Final Dan Barker Discussions Prior to Debate!
04/28/2009 - James White
Played brief snippets from two more Barker debates I listened to recently, then finished off his list of "Bible contradictions." Took some relevant calls as well. Here's the program.Remember, no DL on Thursday; however, we will try to live webcast the audio of the debate that evening. Since the debate begins at 7pm, and I'm assuming that is CDT, then we would be fairly close to our normal DL time anyway, only one hour later. We will have no way of really testing this until the time comes to do it, so please do not expect super sound quality or the like. Obviously, we will try to let folks know if there will be no feed at all. But, we might as well give it the old college try (especially since the debate is at a college!).

A 90-Minute Dividing Line: D'Souza vs. Barker Demonstrates "Theology Matters"
04/16/2009 - James White
I really wanted to provide a useful apologetic discussion on the program today, so we started half an hour earlier. I went through some key theological foundations to apologetics from Van Til for the first twenty minutes, then reviewed key elements of the D'Souza/Barker debate. I then finished up with some discussion of Barker's claims in his book, godless, especially in reference to his comments therein regarding his debate with Doug Wilson. I truly hope this DL will be useful to those engaging in apologetics. Here's the program.20:00:09 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
An Extra Long DL Today!
04/16/2009 - James White
We will be starting the DL half an hour early today, and going for a full 90 minutes. I just listened to the Barker/D'Souza debate, and I really wanted to beat my head against a wall for a while so as to feel better. I have honestly never heard a brighter, better example of "theology matters" than this debate, so, I want to play portions of it on the program today. So we will get an early start and go for a full 90 minutes today, starting 3:30pm MST, which is 6:30pm EDT, 3:30pm PDT.09:43:15 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -

Yesterday on The Dividing Line
04/10/2009 - James White
Took a great call on OT studies and the general slide into liberalism in that field, played a section on the Islamic view of intercession and how Islam parallels in Muhammad many of the key offices of Jesus, and finished with a call on the topic of inerrancy and textual variation. Here's the program.13:25:45 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Yesterday on The Dividing Line
04/08/2009 - James White
Started off the program with a call from Dublin, Ireland on how to avoid being a "cage-stage Calvinist," that was quite useful. Also listened to Dan Barker claiming Calvin preached from the KJV, and finished the program with a discussion of "kufir" in Islamic theology. Here's the program.11:09:32 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
