After a quick update on our travel issues-situation, we started to comment on the -Christ is King- controversy, digging down a bit into the theology and context of the statement and what it means. We also looked at some folks claiming -replacement theology- -it's fulfillment theology, but they don't want to view it fairly- is actually heretical. Then we played a few clips from the Provisionist Playground and provided correction. Again, if you would like to help get me to Louisiana for the upcoming debates, and help with the Road Trip DL set up in the new unit, the travel fund pull down menu can be found by clicking here. Thank you-
I was joined by two dear brothers, Reformed pastors in Frankfurt, Germany, Peter Schild and Tobias Riemenschneider, to talk about their work in Germany and about global Christianity. A most enjoyable conversation-
Went over what has been going on over the past few days about our RV---and that fact that we needed to make arrangements to obtain a different one, due to it being defective and needing to be rebuilt. Went through the whole story, mainly for our supporters, as we will need to raise some funds to make up the differences in the trade-in, upgrading our hitch, etc., and all in a matter of weeks since I need to head out in about four weeks for the debates with Jimmy Akin in Louisiana. If you can help us, you can donate to the Travel Fund here. Then we moved over to the Big Board and looked at Hebrews 1-10-12, and Dale Tuggy's attempt to get away from its testimony to the deity of Christ.
Spent two hours documenting the incredible mythology generated by Leighton Flowers and his guests regarding my supposed -Greek errors- over the past ten days. Everyone who has heard the stories should watch, take notes, and verify for yourselves. Truly, the end of the story, and time to move on. Hope you find it helpful-
Managed to pull off a solid internet connection from a slight wide spot in the road called Lordsburg, New Mexico -really sad little town...lots of abandoned buildings-. We covered a wide variety of things, including announcing the upcoming debates, April 24th and 25th, in Lafayette, Louisiana, with Catholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin -sola scriptura, and -How Does a Man Have Peace with God----. We discussed conversion, anthropology, and more, looking at Ezekiel 36, Titus 2, and even an old article Robert Gagnon reposted about John 6-39.
We had a great group listening at the start but the stream died a thousand deaths tonight, so we had to just record the rest of the program. Discussed a few things from the Tuggy debate, and then moved on to more of the response from the Flowers debate. I had hooked up my second monitor so I could walk through the text again since I have felt like the Greek issues have somewhat clouded what is in fact the plain meaning of the gospel of John.
Today we went back over the key issues in the Flowers debate on John 6, looked more closely at 6-45, documented errors on LF's part, etc. Also thanked a bunch of folks for their support and a super cool gift I was given last evening -the A-O Bow Tie--. Spent about ten minutes looking at Chris Fisher's misuse of 1 John 2-20 -the Byzantine textual variant-, had a few words about tomorrow night's debate with Dale Tuggy as well.
Finally had the opportunity of doing the program again after a pretty challenging few weeks which included Urgent Care and ER visits, along with a lot of driving, teaching, etc. We talked about tomorrow night's debate with Leighton Flowers, and focused upon my thoughts about the Fisher-Slick debate from last week and what it revealed about the hearts of many. Then we reviewed the sad fact that Ergun Caner, fourteen years down the road, continues to pretend he was something he never was. A truly sad story.
We took the time today to go back over the controversy that has developed when I asked my debate opponent Saturday afternoon to tell us what one of the key texts on the atonement -and in my opening statement- actually means, and he refused to do so. I played the audio of the exchange, put the text on the screen, and we invested an hour and 15 minutes on the topic -after some introductory topics-. Not sure if we will be able to squeeze another show in this week, as I am teaching at GBTS Thursday through Saturday.
In February of 2024 James White and Trent Horn did two, back to back debates at First Lutheran Church in Houston. The first night was on sola scriptura, and the second on purgatory. It was the conjunction of these two debates that was most informative and useful. We invite our viewers to listen to both debates and compare the assertions concerning the -deposit of faith- and -apostolic tradition- in the first with the argumentation in defense of purgatory in the second. It is very enlightening-
Just had to make note of the monumental Alabama Supreme Court decision and the issue of -By What Standard- that simply cannot be avoided. Then we looked at some further issues I had forgotten to get to on the last program about claims Trent Horn made and how all of this is so vitally relevant to the direction Roman Catholic apologetics is heading. Important stuff-
I did not intentionally organize this past weekend's debates to provide the excellent insight into how Rome's claims are self-refuting, I promise you, but that's how it worked out. The contrast between the claims of Rome for a -apostolic deposit of faith- from the first debate and their inability to provide any kind of certain or stable foundation for a dogma -purgatory- in the second was not something I had aimed to produce. That was the Lord's doing, and I am thankful. So we spent 90 minutes today going over those important matters after just a few minutes at the top talking about the trip as well as the denigration of the justice system in a nation that has rejected the only solid ground for justice to begin with. Very hard to say when the next program will be, but keep an eye on the app for announcements-
Talked a little about the -He Gets Us- thing, gave a brief report on the Allie Beth Stuckey Show from Tuesday, then dove into the Protevangelium of James and read its narrative of the birth of Christ in light of the defense of this document as containing genuine Christian tradition by Roman Catholic apologists. We then moved on to discuss The Invention of the Inspired Text by John Poirier and his actual goals in writing his book. Don't know when the next program will be as I will be heading off to Tullahoma next week for the Why Calvinism conference, a debate, etc. Watch the app for announcements-
Back to on-the-road status for the program today- We covered what's going on tomorrow and in the upcoming days, then looked at a tweet from -Cernovich wherein he demonstrates he has never done serious reading in the topic, and then finished up the hour looking at a key section from Carl Trueman's presentation -which we began reviewing over the past few weeks-.
Head out on Friday -I keep saying Lord willing, and I mean that-, so hopefully our next edition will be on the road, possibly on Monday. Played segments from a video from the pastor of -Zootown Church- in Missoula, Scott Klaudt where he repeated a whole string of utterly indefensible falsehoods about the Reformation, Rome, etc., and then played a brief portion of Trent Horn's second rebuttal in his debate with Gavin Ortlund on sola scriptura, looking specifically at the common error of ignoring the diversity in Rome while focusing upon it amongst -Protestants.- If you would like to help support this upcoming trip, please pray for my health -not starting off on the best foot, I have to admit-, and support the Travel Fund here. https---www.aomin.org-aoblog-support-us- Thank you-
My apologies for all the coughs and sniffs, I actually feel pretty good, but the voice and sinuses---not so much. Spent time talking about God's decree over against Provisionist palaver -look it up-, then looked at some Trent Horn material in preparation for a few weeks from now, and finished up with a real quick section from the Carl Trueman presentation, this time on -doctrinal development.-
Covered a number of topics today with a short discussion of how a small number of ne'er-do-wells can create faux controversies for not positive reason, then talked a bit about Alistair Begg's -swing and a miss- response, and then got back to Carl Trueman's speech on classical theology. An hour and fifteen minutes today.
Touched on a bunch of topics from Texas to Alistair Begg to the United Methodists at the start. Commented briefly on some miserable souls on line who want to debate about infant damnation. Then read from Nettle's fine work on Andrew Fuller and the reality of death and how it impacts us and our theological outlook, before moving briefly back to Carl Trueman's presentation that we began examining on the last DL. 90 minutes today.
Started to listen to and interact with Dr. Carl Trueman's inaugural address at the Center for Classical Theology. Got into the heart of the matter, Scripture, tradition, authority, etc., after playing a number of statements that were insightful, useful, and edifying. Will continue on Thursday-
We premiered the new video opening by Tim Bushong for Radio Free Geneva- So there is a new addition to the clips including in A Mighty Fortress, and then Jeff Durbin did the new closer about our new bunker under Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. We started with a one minute video from Leighton Flowers including some of the most absurd assertions by Warren McGrew. Then we moved to an almost ten minute presentation against Calvinism by Gregory Boyd from a number of years ago.--Then right at the end, I took the time to address, briefly, the controversy that erupted yesterday over comments by Alistair Begg in an interview four months ago wherein he counseled a grandmother to attend the wedding of a grandchild -marrying- a transgender person.

Unsunscribing due to the radical political views pressed through the show. I realized of the past couple of years that Christians like James white don't believe in freedom, they believe that white Christians should have freedom and that everyone else should be like them. My political views have changed over the years, and the radical nature of podcasts like these have only pushed me further away from conservatism. They claim to be for freedom but in reality are usually just theo-fascists.

Dr White, I'm still catching up on the DL, hoping to get current by the end of the day. What you say is true, and God bless you, brother! The world hates you because the world hates God. I praise God for you and all you've done.

Can I ask a question Dr. White? I always have seen in the church where there are passages used when talking about others coming to Christ and such, they use the term "he" and we associate that to mean men and women, but how come in this context (the foundation laid out for men in the church) why can we not use it the same? I'm just trying to understand. Thank you very much for your time!

I've had a couple of run-ins with Jesse over the last few years. When I tried to gently address his heresy (plural), he turtled and hid. I think that had more to do with the fact I was Facebook admin of the group he was in. Ultimately, he blocked me so I couldn't see his posts, but for some reason he forgot that I could still get administrator notices.

White-shaming infiltrates Christianity causing schism by design.
