A Response to Abdullah from the UK: Part I

05/10/2008 - James White

   As I was uploading the last in this four-part series of replies to "Mujtahid2006," I found his name on his page (sorry about that), and confirmed it by seeing Jay Smith make mention of him as well. So, I apologize for using his YouTube nick throughout this reply. I am hoping this dialogue can continue and focus upon key issues without the kind of rhetoric that often derails such attempts.

Bob Ross: Slanderer of the Brethren

05/09/2008 - James White

   I had removed Ross' feed from my RSS reader last week. This evening while doing something else I opened up my Google homepage, and it has a blog search window in it that pulled up Ross' most recent slander. Bob Ross has been corrected, many times, on his spreading falsehoods about others, and in this case, in his questioning my clear and repeated defense of the Trinity, including the fact that the terms Father, Son, and Spirit are not merely incarnational terms, but that this relationship has existed in eternity. I have defended this in debates, and in writing. In fact, ironically, I was finishing up a video (which I will post later this evening on YouTube) refuting a KJV Only modalist, and I was just about to insert a graphic I had created quoting Colossians 1 in reference to the distinction between the Father and the Son, one of the texts that teaches this very truth. So Ross' willingness to question my repeated teaching on this topic when the documentation exists to demonstrate the truth going back long before he became agitated because I rebuked him for his childish attacks upon John MacArthur only shows that the man is a troubler of the brethren, one to be rebuked, marked, and avoided. He writes:

But if White had held to Eternal Sonship in 1993, why didn't he expose Riplinger's heterodoxy? Why has he never -- to our knowledge, at least -- exposed her heterodoxy?

Even after we published our exposure of Riplinger, James White still remained mum about her non-creedal view of the Son. Was it because he regarded this doctrine as a "non-essential" in Christianity?

   I have informed Ross that I have always held my current position. To say otherwise is simply to show oneself deeply dishonest. And why did I not harp on Riplinger's error on the matter? Because Gail Riplinger doesn't even understand what the issues are. Anyone who listened to my radio debate with her knows she could not even follow a discussion of Edwin Palmer's words relating to the inner relations of the Trinity in contrast with the incarnation. She is not a theologian, and her grasp of the most fundamental doctrines of the faith is highly questionable. So why on earth would I when her problems are significantly more basic? The fact is, Ross is simply seeking to dishonestly sling mud, just as his alter-ego Peter Ruckman has done for decades. Mark the man, avoid the man.

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).

Muslims Tell It Like It Is

05/08/2008 - James White

   Last week I mentioned a video I had seen a few years ago of Muslims desecrating an American flag in a US city and mentioning a "loop hole" that allowed them to do this. The irony was, they admitted that if they did this almost anywhere else, the government would come after them. To many serious Muslims, the fact that the US government allows this is a simple sign of weakness. I indicated on the DL that I had not kept the video. Well, someone found it for me on You Tube. Here it is.

More Blasphemy for Money Coming Your Way

05/07/2008 - James White

   I truly wonder what many of my Muslim friends think when they see this kind of stuff. Another anti-Christian work of absurd fiction, brought to you by folks who do movies about Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, and Bigfoot (I'm being perfectly serious), is about to show up on movie screens across the US. For those who call this a "Christian" nation, how do you explain the hatred that can be expressed toward Christianity with the full support of the main stream media and the culture at large that rewards the purveyors of this kind of stuff with multiple millions of dollars? All the same lame, idiotic silliness that gave Dan Brown millions a few years ago has been refurbished in what seems to be a "Ghost Hunters" type of conspiracy film once again designed to spit in the eye of the Christian faith. The film, The Bloodline, opens this weekend.

Woops! VLog Error!

05/07/2008 - James White

   Evidently I cut and paste the wrong embedding codes a few months back for the Khalid Yasin video, and ended up repeating myself. I guess I might have been trying to avoid posting the actual first video since people made fun of my bright shirt! But, here's the actual first part of the Khalid Yasin series; the one that posted this morning was "correct" in that it is the second. Of course, all of these are on my YouTube page, so you can always get the whole series (at least as much as has been posted) there.

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).
