Open Phones on the Dividing Line

08/26/2010 - James White

Started off noting that Elmer Towns says Ergun Caner's "punishment" fits the "problem," then took three calls, one from Estonia relevant to Islam, one on King James Onlyism, one on the nature of hell. All three were very encouraging calls. Here's the program.

Today on Radio Free Geneva!

08/24/2010 - James White

Went over Chosen But Free Three on the DL today, looking at the abject failure of Norman Geisler to provide a meaningful or scholarly response to the criticisms of his work that have piled up over the past decade since it first appeared. Took one call on Ephesians 2:8 and wrapped it up! Here's the program.

Radio Free Geneva Tomorrow: Chosen But Free Three Arrives!

08/23/2010 - James White

I returned from Detroit to find the 3rd edition of Chosen But Free waiting for me. I have only had limited time to look over it, but I've seen enough to want to review it tomorrow on the DL, and that means...Radio Free Geneva! Join us at 11am to find out about what happened to the horrible Gail Riplingeresque appendix responding to The Potter's Freedom (it has disappeared without notification or comment--ironic, given how much Ergun Caner depended on that very appendix back in 2005/2006 in attacking TPF), and also to discover that "moderate Calvinism" has been replaced with the wonderfully fair and helpful new phrase, "the Balanced View" (BV). Yes, friends, evangelical synergism is now the "balanced view." Also, "extreme Calvinism" has become "the extreme sovereignty view" (if that doesn't strike you as odd, think for a moment---what is "moderate sovereignty"?). And though my name appears nowhere in the index, nor does The Potter's Freedom appear in the bibliography (!), there are a small handful of citations, and a couple of attempted responses. Tune in to hear the "new" argumentation on Matthew 23:37! So join us for a Radio Free Geneva tomorrow on the Dividing Line!

A Caller-Driven DL

08/12/2010 - James White

Started off with some updates on what is coming up over the next few months (please pray for all the debates, and all the travel, and yes, we still need your help to make it all happen) then started taking calls...Skype calls and "regular" calls, even going a bit long. Topics were wide indeed, including a long call on apostasy, heresy, and the nature of Christian assurance. Here's the program.

Today on the Dividing Line: An Unbelievable Ride and Calls

08/10/2010 - James White

Did a review of four Unbelievable Radio programs to start off the program, discussing presuppositional apologetics, Victor Stenger, and a "liberal" who denied the resurrection of Christ (all programs I listened to this morning while on a 70 mile ride). You can listen to Justin's program here, but since that airs in London, you can subscribe to the podcast as well (that's what I do). Then we took some calls on a wide variety of topics, including Norman Geisler's new edition of Chosen But Free (I contacted Bethany House Publishers, so I have a copy headed my way). Here's the program.

Just a reminder that I do live in a desert. Here is a little shot I took of a saguaro against the backdrop of the desert mountains, brush, etc., in the early morning light. It was nice out there at that time---but it is getting deathly hot again this week, with highs the next few days topping 110, lows in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Going to be tough to get in the 234 miles I want to cover before heading for Detroit next week!

God Centered vs. Man Centered: the Dividing Line

08/03/2010 - James White

Covered two primary texts on the program today, Hebrews 7:25 and James 2:14, but I did so in the context of recognizing the difference between a God-centered faith and a man-centered one. I drew illustrations from my debate with Robert Sungenis on the Mass that took place in Utah a number of years ago. An hour of biblical teaching, no calls, but I think one of the more important discussions we've had on the Dividing Line. Here's the program.

(I noted that the debate with Sungenis on the Mass was one of the clearest examples of theocentric faith vs. anthropocentric faith I know of. You can get the debate here).

7/29/2010 - Dividing Line

07/29/2010 - Micah Burke

Since no one else has blogged it yet, here's the link to today's podcast. Discussed today: A May recording of Ergun Caner talking about haters. Dr. White also took two calls.

Continuation of the Slick/Sungenis Discussion on Today's DL

07/27/2010 - James White

Today we pressed on listening to Robert Sungenis illustrate "sola ecclesia" to the nth degree. Here's the program.

You will note I mentioned waiting for the FedEx van to show up. Well, it did, just a few minutes after the program. It brought me a package that I knew was coming, but, I did not know, for certain anyway, what it contained. Some of you who have attended my talks over the years have heard me speak on the history of the Greek text. As I go through the early printed editions I mention having seen the 1550 Stephanus text back in the late 90s, and how I informed the collector who had it that he needed to put me in his will so that I would someday have that text. Well, thankfully, that good brother decided not to wait for his homecoming. I have that gorgeous text (it is in INCREDIBLE condition for being 460 years old!) right next to me on my desk. Now to find a way to protect it so that when I speak on that topic in the future I can bring it with me. In any case, it is a tremendous encouragement to have this great monument to the transmission of divine writ down through the ages as a part of the ministry's resources.

Today on the DL: Veritas Seminary and More on Rome

07/22/2010 - James White

Started off with a brief discussion about this amazing and sad story about the degradation of our culture. Then moved on to the Veritas "exoneration" of Ergun Caner, and then moved back to the Slick/Sungenis discussion, in particular, on the issue of tradition and Scripture. Here's the program.

Yesterday on the DL: Glenn Beck

07/20/2010 - James White

I had so many people contact me asking whether what Glenn Beck was saying was classical LDS theology I took the time to go over his comments and compare them with official LDS sources. Result? Who knows? But hopefully it was educational! Here's the program.
