Dr. White broadcasts from the road ahead of his debate in Ogden, Utah. He starts with a warning regarding extreme rhetoric surrounding the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Septuagint (LXX), before continuing the review of the Austin vs. Hansen cross-examination for debate prep.

Covered a few pressing topics today, from the cultural chaos of utterly unqualified Supreme Court justices to Phil Vischer's question about defining doctrines. Then we talked a bit about "Eucharistic miracles" and an odd little exchange on X about debating the topic, and finally we got just a minute into the cross-ex between Avery Austin and Jacob Hansen in their recent debate. Since I will be debating Jacob in a few days, this is good preparatory thinking.

First "real" program from the Mobile Command Center! Musings on secularism, the death of the West, and God's judgment.

Jumped into our new 5th wheel to test out all the work Rich has been doing putting together a rapidly deployable and usable mobile studio in the wonderful office space in our new unit. Went well! He has more tweaking to do, and I have a lot of pictures to put up yet, but we are started. Headed to Utah on Thursday, debate on Saturday with Shabir Ally. Covered a bunch of topics from the Apocrypha to the Qur'an to Phil Vischer! Hope to do another program on Thursday after six plus hours on the road.

Started off with a disgusting post from Michael Spangler attacking Corrie Ten Boom and the book, The Hiding Place. Just astonishing how Jew hatred rots the brain. Then we moved on to Dan McClellan's response piece, but spent most of today just discussing doing scholarship under the Lordship of Christ, and how this determines how you are going to interact with the text of Scripture. We will have to continue that response next week, hopefully from the Mobile Command Center!

Finished up the cross-examination from the Hansen v. Heschmeyer debate, covering a number of important topics, and then finished up responding to a claim regarding using "preferred pronouns" from 2019. Was going to get to responding to McClellan, but will do so on the next program!

We started off with a video clip that popped up right before the program of Joel Webbon seriously struggling to answer the question, "Does the Bible say Mary was a Jew?" Yeah, seriously. Then we moved to the Dustin Smith debate and the fact that the little Unitarian group is still working hard on spinning the debate. We played sections from the cross-examination and then dove into the text to examine his replies or his questions, depending. We went long on this one, out to 80 minutes for this edition!

After a brief reminder about upcoming debates and ministry, we listened to a brief video from Dan McClellan claiming there is no monotheism in the Bible, and then we walked through Jeremiah 10 to demonstrate that the great Bible scholar is in rather obvious error. Started to try to get back to the cross-ex in the Hansen/Heschmeyer debate, but saw a tweet about Joel Webbon that caught my eye, so we looked at that instead to finish out the program. Not sure when the next program will be, as I have the final inspection to go through on Thursday on my house project, and who knows when they will get that finished. We will let you know on the app or on X.

Dr. White dedicates the entire program to addressing the fallacious and heretical claims made by Texas Senate candidate James Talarico regarding transgenderism, abortion, and the Christian faith.

Continued listening to the Jacob Hansen/Joe Heschmeyer debate, this time starting Joe's examination of Jacob. Then transitioned into a review of the final major sermon of Joseph Smith, delivered only 11 days before his death in 1844, the "Sermon in the Grove" on the plurality of gods.

Today we looked at a few comments made by Trent Horn in the sola scriptura debate in Dallas, and then returned to the Hansen/Heschmeyer debate from Salt Lake. We analyze the cross-examination and point out problems on both sides! #TheDividingLine #JamesWhite #RomanCatholicism #Mormonism #Apologetics

We started listening to the cross-examination in the debate over the "Great Apostasy" that took place back in December between Jacob Hansen and Joe Heschmeyer. This is allowing us to delve into Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, Church History, and a lot more, in a really enjoyable, organic way. We will continue the review in the upcoming programs!

Today we dove into the debate I did with Dr. Dustin Smith in Dallas on the Trinity vs. Unitarianism, and in particular, our reasons for doing debates, etc. Then we looked at 1 Corinthians 8:6, which came up in the debate, and used it as an example of my main thesis: that the Unitarian has an over-riding presupposition that forces him into eisegesis when faced with evidence against his position. We will look at the Hansen/Heshmeyer cross-ex on the next episode!

Started doing some debate reviews on the program today. Mentioned a little bit about my debate with Dr. Smith, but will review more of that in a future program. Then we looked at some cross-examination from the Nortier/Flowers debate and spent some time discussing what it means to do "work" on a passage, the different level of "work," etc. Then I mentioned the surreal experience of listening to the Heschmeyer/Hansen debate and having to agree with both of them at key points. We will listen to some of the cross-examination on the next program.

We covered the waterfront on our last program for this trip. I talked a bit about the lie of "transgenderism," covered the wild spin being put out by the "Biblical Unitarians" prior to the release of the video of the debate from a week ago, and talked about the difference between donation-based ministry and "clicks and likes." We also covered a bit about Marian "intercession" and discussed possible issues with our Mobile Command Center—more on that once we get home!

Covered a lot of topics today from here in Texas, but mainly looked at some material regarding people's responses to comments about Romans 5, the atonement (responding to William Lane Craig's denial of original sin), and the ever-present idol of man's "free will."

I did a quick trip update at the start, including a brief discussion of how to get yourself stuck in ice when you are 54 feet long and 13.5 feet tall and weigh 24,000 pounds. But most of the program was a discussion of last night's dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi at the mosque in Flower Mound, what we discussed, and, more importantly, how we approach the task of being a Christian witness to our Muslim friends and neighbors. Then I discussed the slanderous video produced by @onlythus on Instagram, and reposted by @AlexDuncanTX lying about Dr. Qadhi in a very obvious and surface level way, and how this is utterly in opposition to Christian calling and practice. Finally, at the end of the hour, I commented on Joel Webbon's lame response to Doug Wilson and his incessant use of the "victim card."

Could have done an RFG today since we covered a Frank Turek clip and made some comments about Kevin Thompson and Ephesians 1:4 (might play the whole clip next week), but we also had to talk about how you need an IQ above 130, and a very high testosterone level, to understand how smashingly brilliant Joel Webbon and his crew actually is. We also addressed some Dan McClellan nonsense as well. Last in-studio program until we are on the road next week!

Will confess, we sort of wandered a bit today given the constant drum beat of division and moral insanity in our culture. Eventually got to the church invasion on Sunday in St. Paul, Minnesota, and what it might indicate we could be facing in the years to come. We plan on doing another program Thursday, and then I leave for Dallas and Baton Rouge, so the schedule next week will be variable. Make sure to download the A&O app to stay aware of the schedule!

As promised, I looked over the "Sacralism on Steroids" graphic put out by the "New Christian Right" putting Donald Trump as Constantine (seriously) and noted the simplistic history that always accompanies these kinds of movements. Then we looked at the variant at 1 Timothy 3:16 as it was addressed by my upcoming debate opponent, Dr. Dustin Smith, in a recent podcast. Today's program has a fair amount of graphical information so audio only folks might be missing out on some things.

We started off the program with the major announcement of the scheduling of a major debate later in 2026 with Craig Truglia on the topic of the veneration of icons and the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I explained why this is a vital topic with greater ramifications than might first suggest themselves. Then we transitioned into some of Matthew Barrett's students converting to Anglicanism and where this might all lead. We will do another program tomorrow, so join us then!

Today we covered two things mainly, the clear division of the United States and its causes and, more to the point, what it will mean for the church in the near future and then we moved to Acts 20 and Paul's comments to the Ephesian elders and what it means to be guilty of men's blood, and what it means to "pervert" or "twist" the truth of God.

Tried to mine some gold from the Talmud at the start of the program, but didn't get any, then talked a good bit about the upcoming Qadhi dialogue and the inane attempts to parallel that with the politically motivated Christless Nationalism interactions with Nick Fuentes. Then we moved on to how quickly people forget history and fall into repeating it, to their own detriment.

First half was talking about new books and video series coming out from the Christless Nationalists, and then moved on to the "New Mormonism" developing up in Utah, a fascinating topic. Join us as we press into 2026!

So on Christmas day Joel Webbon responded to a Christian woman by simply saying "Silence, Jew. It's Christmas." And so began another eruption of the degradation of CNism into just another "it's the Jews" group, with Joel Webbon and Eric Conn leading the parade. Hated to have to take the time to do it, but with Webbon doing a program with Nick Fuentes this weekend, it had to be done. At least we can say we warned people in the past, and sadly, most of those warnings have gone unheeded.

Started off taking a LOT more time than I expected talking about ancient housing arrangements, what a "manger" might be, etc., and then moved on to a rant against Reformed theology and a common argument against God's decree that keeps coming up. Interrupted by a brief power outage at our office, but, I assume Rich will just cut that out. Enjoy!

Really had fun on today's program! Started off with a question I have for a Reformed Baptist minister, and all of his tribe, and the issue of "ecumenical councils," then went to callers. The first, about "Holocaustianity" went too long and went nowhere, but the rest were all thoughtful and really helpful. We have a great audience! I was really encouraged by the quality of the questions and the thinking they exemplified.

I guess I had more stuff from Joel Webbon than I thought I did as I kept running into it as I looked through my bookmarks today and we kept circling back, my apologies! But, after talking about "Holocaustianity" we did get to some Provisionist stuff, though I didn't get that finished up. Will do so next week, I hope. But, coming on Thursday, we will do another Zoom calls episode. See you then!

Touched on the current controversy raging over conditionalism/annihilationism in the first half hour. It is a tough topic, and rarely approached from the perspective that would allow a consistent, and biblical, conclusion. Then we looked at the Immaculate Conception defined 12/8/1854, and some amazing responses to a short post I put up about it just yesterday.

Covered a lot of topics today. Answered three questions from a great apologist up north (not that he needed them!), then dove into stuff on John 6, the use of metaphor, King James Onlyism and Steven Anderson (again!), Redeemed Zoomer, BishopJaxi, and finally, an emotion based "testimony" of conversion to Mormonism and the LDS priesthood. Don't forget to catch clips from the program if you can't listen to the whole thing here!

Did the program live from Pryor, Oklahoma (it's a bit nippy out here!). Covered some truly insane cultural items at the start, and then moved on to responding to @BishopJaxi's attack on sola scriptura on X. Important material for folks wanting to provide sound responses to those seeking a form of the church that Christ never intended us to have.

Covered a bunch of topics from Titus 1:6 and elders to Eastern Orthodoxy and sola scriptura and other topics. Will be doing another program on Wednesday given it is a holiday week, and then I head for Pryor, St. Charles, and elsewhere on Friday!

Rich and I were commenting after the show, "Why don't we do this more often? That was great!" Good calls on lots of topics as always. Two were on Reformed Baptists in churches of another denomination (one Lutheran, one PCA). Also calls on the early church writers, Mormonism, etc. Enjoy!

Spent a little longer than I intended to address the "controversy" on line regarding Skillet's great rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and then moved on to comments made by Matthew Barrett on "conciliar authority" and being a Baptist. Right toward the end we mentioned the new trailer(s) for an upcoming Christian Nationalism documentary and how really dumb it is to say Christianity is "fake and gay."

Had to finally comment on the election of an open communist (I explain how democratic socialists are just communists without guns...yet) in New York City, and what that means for the future. Then I looked at the recent reception of Gio Benitez, an openly "married" homosexual, into the Roman Church, replete with access to the Eucharist, and how even Bishop Strickland raised the issue to the USCCB. Then we responded to Dr. Allen's comments on our challenge to Provisionists, discovering the new "hermeneutic of agnosticism" that they use to try to avoid actually telling us what texts mean (rather than just telling us what they cannot possibly mean).

Looked at some interesting developments in last week's topic of the Papal document on Marian doctrines, and then transitioned into the issue of historical anachronism, and how it is popping up all over the place on the Internet, and no one seems to be able to recognize it. Then we looked at David Allen and the topic of 1 John 5:1, providing a challenge to all Provisionists. Then we discussed the utter meltdown of Sam Shamoun in his attacks on David Wood, and finished up looking at what seems to be a relatively new note the Watchtower has attached to its translation of John 12:41 seeking to keep their followers in the darkness of error.

Yes, I did briefly mention communism rising in the nation, but I kept that short. Focused on reading from the new document from the Vatican, going over its assertions, and then moving on at the very end to a thread with Joshua Charles, a convert to Papalism, on the utter dogmatic necessity of anachronism in how Roman Catholics handle history.

A whole lot of Roman Catholics around the world awoke today to deep disappointment. Not only did the new Papal document, Mater Papuli Fidelis, not define the 5th Marian dogma, it was, evidently, meant to be the stake in the heart of the movement to have that dogma defined. This was quite a shock to many, but in reality, this new document proves once again one fundamental reality: Rome operates on her own authority (sola ecclesia) and does not have access to anything that is truly "Apostolic tradition." We dive into the topic, and the documentation, today on the program, but will need to finish up on Thursday. This is a pretty important discussion of a central and current discussion relating to modern Roman Catholicism.
