The Marian Dogmas
A Biblical Basis for the “Immaculate Conception”?
Catholic Answers has some interesting ways of grabbing your attention. By placing the beginning paragraph or two of the lead article of their monthly magazine, This Rock, on the very cover of the work, they draw your attention into reading the rest of the article. True to form, the...
Top Ten Reasons NOT to Join the Roman Catholic Church
Last week I received the following e-mail, and I felt it would be best to share my response here on the blog. Dear Mr. White, For someone considering converting to Catholicism, what questions would you put to them in order to dicern whether or not they have examined their...
James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception
Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing...
The Audio for the Marian Dogmas Debate has been Posted
Recorded on May 15, 2017 in London: Do the Catholic Church’s Teachings on Mary Constitute Authentic Christian Doctrine? James White debates Peter D. Williams at the London Oratory in St. Wilfrid’s Hall.
Tim Staples and the Marian Dogmas
After some brief comments about some of the insanity in the world at the start, focused the rest of the hour upon the comments made by Tim Staples on yesterday’s Catholic Answers Live program where he talked about Mary and her role as co-redemptrix. Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of...
The Glorious Logic of Sola Ecclesia
Few topics illustrate the circularity of Roman logic than the Marian dogmas. The more honest Roman Catholic writers admit that when you boil it all down, the Marian dogmas are to be believed because you accept Rome’s authority, nothing more. “We are the true church, we have apostolic authority,...
Ahmed Deedat
Refuting the Shallow Arguments of Zakir Naik
As most of you know, Zakir Naik is a wildly popular Islamic speaker in the mode of Ahmed Deedat. Unfortunately, Naik knows better than to debate those who can demonstrate his errors. Which is why he remains so popular, it seems! But he cannot hide his many falsehoods. David...
Zakir Naik Illustrates the Dual Face of Islam When in the Public Square
Very interesting contrast from Zakir Naik’s own mouth (again illustrating why Naik refuses to debate those who could expose his arguments).
Zakir Naik’s Claims on Muhammad in the Bible
Here is my third and final response to Zakir Naik’s appearance on The Deen Show. What I did was take my opening statement from my debate with Shabir Ally on this topic from London in November of last year, along with my comments on Deuteronomy 18:18 from the preceding...
Shabir Ally
Debate: Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons? with Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia 11/13/2019
On November 13, 2019, James White debated Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA on the topic Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons?
Response to Dr. Shabir Ally, Part IV (Conclusion)
I hurry to finish my response to the article published by Dr. Shabir Ally shortly after our debate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa in early October. This is the fourth, and thankfully, final portion of my response. Dr. Ally continued: James was clearly in a bind....

Road Trip Dividing Line #1!
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been dreaming about today! I am on day #1 of 22 on the road. Today was a big, big test, with some of the longest, steepest climbs in all of my trip. I did not know, until today, if our truck/5th wheel...
Trinity vs. Tawheed: James White & Jake Brancatella
A one hour forty minute Christian/Muslim debate on a key and important issue.
First DL from Mobile Command Center, Then Dale Tuggy Punches Low
We did our very first live DL from our new mobile command center, aka, our 5th wheel unit that will be my living quarters as I travel around the US in the future (starting at the end of next month with a nearly 4000 mile loop around the western...
King James Onlyism
Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1: Testimonies to the Deity of Jesus Christ
We spent today looking at the argument of Dr. Douglas Stauffer in his attempted defense of the King James Bible relating to Titus 2:13, specifically. Of course, we provided a lot of background, dove into the text, even took at look at P72, the earliest papyri manuscript of 2...
A Multi-Faceted Program
Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they...
Relevant Hit Piece, Targeting Home Schoolers, Acts 8:37
Responded to an article (hit piece) in Relevant Magazine once again on the “Jezebel” issue, looked at an attorney’s comments about homeschooling, and then looked at how King James Onlyism undercuts our ability to really defend Scripture, looking at Acts 8:37 using our Flip board in the “big studio.”...
Bible Transmission
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity – One Point of Contrast
Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Atheism
Equipped to Engage Conference will be LIVE at 6:00pm EDT
Please join us for an evening of powerful messages as Dr. James White and Dr. Jason Lisle equip us to engage Roman Catholics, the LGBTQ community, evolutionists and atheists with the truth of the Gospel. The event starts at 4pm MDT with a break from 5:15 – 6:30pm
Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew
We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with...
Conversion Bills, Great Reset News, Romans 13 Revisited
The title hard does it justice. Covered a lot of ground, including Bill C6 in Canada, the Victorian legislation in Australia, Jake Tapper tweeted an absurd hit piece on Tom Buck, Karen Swallow Prior vowing to never vote for a Republican again, LeCrae and non-partisan performances, Baylor collapsing to...

Live with Dr. Jason Lisle from Colorado Springs
We did another Road Trip DL today and we had our first special guest, Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute! We “geeked out” (according to my daughter) about fractals and science and worldview. It was a lot of fun! Make sure to get his new book on...
Roadtrip DL #2: A&O Seminary Study Continues
We had a problem getting things to work back home and had to restart, but we go through a full discussion of Calvin’s view of the Father, Son and Spirit in the Institutes, I:XIII:19-21. Gave a good bit of background information, too. An important study, I hope you will...

The Regime Tightens Its Control, A Review of Dr. Gagnon’s Soteriology Posts on Facebook
If the last DL caused you to lose sleep because of the creepy stuff we played from the global elites, today’s clips from our governmental overlords will probably produce more insomnia. Sorry, but while there is still some daylight left, expose the unfruitful works of darkness. After a half...
An Interaction with Dr. Robert Gagnon on Perseverance and John 6:39
A few thoughts on Robert Gagnon’s assertions regarding the loss of salvation. Over the past week or so Dr. Robert Gagnon has posted a series of articles targeting, as he himself has put it, the idea of antinomianism. To quote him directly: If you believe that the new covenant...
Providential Hindrance!
So we in Arizona have these things called monsoon storms. They can be filled with lightning, and often have “micro-bursts” that cause a lot of damage. Recently we had a storm hit that turned a park nearby into a lumber yard. Trees down all over the place! Well, as...

Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they...
Is John 6 Only About the Apostles?
Today we examined this article by Eric Kemp (following the claims of someone named Drew McLeod) that tries to argue that John 6 is only about the Apostles, and is not relevant to anyone alive today. We have examined many dozens of attempts to get around the teachings of...
Theodicy: A Defense of God’s Holiness and Sovereignty in Light of the Existence of Evil
Ten years ago this month I invested just under two hours responding to objections to the Christian faith from a young man who was, in essence, leaving the faith. This was one of the most in-depth discussions I’ve offered, over the course of three days, of the topic of...
Thoughts on the Legacy Standard Bible and CBGM, Roman Catholic Topics
Spent some time talking about how Australia has fallen into the pit of totalitarianism, then did an unplanned discussion of the Legacy Standard Bible’s reading at Jude 5 and the upcoming ECM volumes (and CBGM data) for Mark that will be available in about three weeks. Moved from there...
A Packed Program
Not the most descriptive title, is it? Basically covered more on the SBC plagiarism scandal, reviewing some of what I included in my article about Tim Keller’s “being a heterosexual won’t get you to heaven” silliness, and how it was picked up by, and repeated by, so many others....
Mobile DL: Big Brother Keeps at It, Lessons from Litton, More on the Divine Truth About the Trinity
Did another program from up here in Prescott Valley, Arizona, looking at some amazing actions of Big Brother as he seeks to establish his totalitarian regime. Then we looked at the amazing documentation coming out about the blatant plagiarization of sermon material by Ed Litton, the new President of...
First Road Trip Test Dividing Line: the Biden Regime against Christianity, Francis and Fr. Martin, Gregory’s Confession
So I am thrilled to be on my first day of a “test run” with the new A&O “mobile command center,” our 5th wheel unit that I will be using to do a major western loop at the end of July into mid August, and then across the nation...
About that Plagiarism Thing
Just a quick program today from the Mobile Command Center. The audio is better than the video, Rich says. But we did manage to discuss sermon preparation and the theology behind it in light of current discussions, shall we say. Hope to do another program tomorrow, this time from...

Speaking the Truth Is Dangerous Today/More on Jimmy Akin and Sola Scriptura
The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God’s law...
Two Live Reports from the SBC in Nashville
Well, Rich and I had other plans today, but those fell through (after taking all morning), so we drove to the office and put together a quick DL featuring The Troublemaker from Texas,™ Dr. Tom Buck, and then following him up with another true troublemaker as well, my own...
An Impromptu Dividing Line will be LIVE at the Top of the Hour
Dividing Line/Sheologians Mash Up
I did the program from Summer’s home today (they are installing the 5th wheel hitch in the truck today) so we talked about all sorts of stuff, including the SBC, how much the world has changed since Sheologians began, etc. Summer has come a long ways from her guest...

Another Solo Dividing Line
A Solo Test Dividing Line!
A solo Dividing Line while Rich is on a well earned vacation testing stuff I’m collecting for use in the A&O travel rig (truck/fifth wheel) that I will be using to travel starting in just a few weeks. Covered a range of things from the Fauci Emails to Safeism...
Let’s Do a Road Trip!
So we need to put together our first A&O Road Trip. If you haven’t caught the details on the Dividing Line, I am going to head back out into the big, wild world, but this time I won’t be racking up miles toward Executive Platinum status on American Airlines....
A Helpful Discussion with the Muslim Metaphysician, Jake Brancatella
Had an enjoyable conversation with Jake Brancatella, “the Muslim Metaphysician” on his conversion to Islam, his background, his “LPT” argument (Logical Problem with the Trinity), and much more. Jake is discussing aspects of the Trinity and Christology that most Christians don’t know about (let alone almost all Muslims) so...
Theology Matters
Two Important Book Releases
Two new books to point you to this morning! Jason Lisle has finally released his book on Fractals, which he told me he was going to write years ago. I love fractal art, and have been using various fractal generation programs since the late 1990s. I’ve ordered my copy!...
Yes, Homosexuality WILL Send You to Hell
Recently a graphic appeared that gave quotes from Tim Keller (2011), JD Greear (2019), and Ed Litton (2020). The last two are parroting Keller, and Litton, as seems to be the norm, is parroting, directly, Greear. Now, my point is not the plagiarism scandal that is showing just how...
About Co-Equal Parts
By now everyone has seen the original statement of faith from Redemption Church where Ed Litton pastors, and most have at least had the opportunity to watch his appearance on CNN talking about Critical Race Theory. The problem we face with the new President of the SBC (who has...
A German Language Christian Webcast
My dear friends in Frankfurt are doing their own webcast (they say they were encouraged by the DL to do so), so if you are a German speaker, make sure to give them a listen and a thumbs up!
Be a Radical: Count Your Blessings
Woke up this morning with a tune from my youth stuck in my mind. A song I haven’t sung in at least 40 years I’d say. Yet there it was, the whole chorus, clear as day: Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what...
The Power of Panic
Emotional manipulation is a powerful weapon, and it has been used to fundamentally end the experiment in liberty begun in the 18th century in what became the United States. A lot of things had to be accomplished to bring about this end, to be sure. For example, you had...
Only By the Spirit
The story is told that as Luther was arriving in the town of Worms, five hundred years ago this week, the wagon he was riding in turned a corner near the wall of the city. There, someone, knowing that Luther would probably approach the city from that direction, had...
Corinth and the Woke
When Paul explained the glory of the body of Christ to the Corinthians, he used many analogies to try to communicate a supernatural truth, that God is forming that body sovereignly through the progress of the Gospel in the world. Now consider what that meant at that time. Though...
Hold the High Ground
Allow me to start with a little historical fiction. I think most historians of American history in the 19th century would agree with me here. If Jackson had not been killed by friendly fire in early May at Chancellorsville, and had been present to lead his troops the first...
Eternity and Time
Consider: The one in whom all things “hold together” (συνέστηκεν, Col 1:17) Became flesh (σὰρξ ἐγένετο, Jn 1:14). The eternal acted in time. This validated the importance of the temporal, without transforming the eternal *into* the temporal, or thereby limiting it. Human language is necessarily temporal in nature, as...

The Mormon Law of Eternal Progression
I spoke on the topic of the “eternal law of progression” in Mormonism in Anchorage this morning. Here is the video.
The 1914 Chronology of Jehovah’s Witnesses
A. Establishing an Ancient Date 1. Fixed Dates 2. King List 3. Cuneiform Tablets 4. Correlation B. Astronomical Data 1. VAT 4956 – astronomical observations made during Nebuchadnezzar’ s 37th regnal year – 568/67 B. C. Hence, his first regnal year was spring 604 B. C., or, using Babylonian...
A Test for the Aaronic Priest
Are you an Aaronic priest? Possibly you are a Latter- day Saint who believes the priesthood was restored by Joseph Smith in 1829 and that you have been ordained as an Aaronic priest. Possibly you believe that Hebrews 5:4 applies to you: “And no man taketh this honor unto...
Latest Debates
Does God Forgive the Unrepentant? – The Dubious Textual Variant, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’
A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring...

Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Chris Pinto vs. James White – Debate Summarized
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document. Both sides agree that he...

Are the Marian Doctrines Authentic Christian Teaching?
Spent over an hour today digging deep into church history in light of the vital importance of sola scriptura. This is the kind of program that won’t elicit many loud “amens!” but will give you a foundation that will last a lifetime. That’s important.
The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory
Went almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important)....

Roman Catholicism
Purgatory: 1 Corinthians 3 and Tim Staples
Don’t hold your breath for the invitation for me to be on Catholic Answers Live to discuss, oh, “Does John 6 Teach the Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Eucharist,” (I’d do it in a heartbeat), but today we had Tim Staples on the program for 90 minutes to debate...
Art Sippo on 1 Corinthians 3 and Purgatory
I noted today another fascinating post from Art Sippo, the Catholic lay apologist (and writer of odd pulp fiction stories). Algo had posted a few quotes that demonstrate, as all rational historians recognize, that dogmas like purgatory developed over time, and hence, are not apostolic in origin. Sippo’s response...
1993 Sola Scriptura Debate Review Begins
We began listening to the 1993 San Diego debate on sola scriptura with Roman Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid today. We will continue this review over the course of the next few programs, with the exception of this Thursday when we will be examining the textual variant at Luke 23:34...
The Papacy
Open Phones Dividing Line Friday
Let’s see what some of the topics were: Sam Gipp and “Antioch manuscripts,” the Church & Culture, Debating the Papacy, Justification and Roman Catholic apologists, how to talk to Christians who have bought into social justice theories, and more!
Called to Cyprian – Responding to Anders’ Historical Error
On Catholic Answers, episode #6796, Dr. David Anders makes it sound as though the issue of supremacy of the Roman bishop came up for the first time in the third century, as though “Pope Stephen” asserted the primacy of the Roman see, and as though the East acquiesced in...

Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Chris Pinto vs. James White – Debate Summarized
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document. Both sides agree that he...
Sola Scriptura
Speaking the Truth Is Dangerous Today/More on Jimmy Akin and Sola Scriptura
The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God’s law...
Are the Marian Doctrines Authentic Christian Teaching?
Spent over an hour today digging deep into church history in light of the vital importance of sola scriptura. This is the kind of program that won’t elicit many loud “amens!” but will give you a foundation that will last a lifetime. That’s important.
The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory
Went almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important)....
Christian Worldview
Equipped to Engage Conference will be LIVE at 6:00pm EDT
Please join us for an evening of powerful messages as Dr. James White and Dr. Jason Lisle equip us to engage Roman Catholics, the LGBTQ community, evolutionists and atheists with the truth of the Gospel. The event starts at 4pm MDT with a break from 5:15 – 6:30pm
Live with Dr. Jason Lisle from Colorado Springs
We did another Road Trip DL today and we had our first special guest, Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute! We “geeked out” (according to my daughter) about fractals and science and worldview. It was a lot of fun! Make sure to get his new book on...
Roadtrip DL #2: A&O Seminary Study Continues
We had a problem getting things to work back home and had to restart, but we go through a full discussion of Calvin’s view of the Father, Son and Spirit in the Institutes, I:XIII:19-21. Gave a good bit of background information, too. An important study, I hope you will...
Roman Catholicism
Purgatory: 1 Corinthians 3 and Tim Staples
Don’t hold your breath for the invitation for me to be on Catholic Answers Live to discuss, oh, “Does John 6 Teach the Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Eucharist,” (I’d do it in a heartbeat), but today we had Tim Staples on the program for 90 minutes to debate...
Art Sippo on 1 Corinthians 3 and Purgatory
I noted today another fascinating post from Art Sippo, the Catholic lay apologist (and writer of odd pulp fiction stories). Algo had posted a few quotes that demonstrate, as all rational historians recognize, that dogmas like purgatory developed over time, and hence, are not apostolic in origin. Sippo’s response...
1993 Sola Scriptura Debate Review Begins
We began listening to the 1993 San Diego debate on sola scriptura with Roman Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid today. We will continue this review over the course of the next few programs, with the exception of this Thursday when we will be examining the textual variant at Luke 23:34...
The Papacy
Open Phones Dividing Line Friday
Let’s see what some of the topics were: Sam Gipp and “Antioch manuscripts,” the Church & Culture, Debating the Papacy, Justification and Roman Catholic apologists, how to talk to Christians who have bought into social justice theories, and more!
Called to Cyprian – Responding to Anders’ Historical Error
On Catholic Answers, episode #6796, Dr. David Anders makes it sound as though the issue of supremacy of the Roman bishop came up for the first time in the third century, as though “Pope Stephen” asserted the primacy of the Roman see, and as though the East acquiesced in...
Listen on the Go
The Marian Dogmas
The Glorious Logic of Sola Ecclesia
Few topics illustrate the circularity of Roman logic than the Marian dogmas. The more honest Roman Catholic writers admit that when you boil it all down, the Marian dogmas are to be believed because you accept Rome’s authority, nothing more. “We are the true church, we have apostolic authority,...
James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception
Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing...
Tim Staples and the Marian Dogmas
After some brief comments about some of the insanity in the world at the start, focused the rest of the hour upon the comments made by Tim Staples on yesterday’s Catholic Answers Live program where he talked about Mary and her role as co-redemptrix. Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of...
Ahmed Deedat
Refuting the Shallow Arguments of Zakir Naik
As most of you know, Zakir Naik is a wildly popular Islamic speaker in the mode of Ahmed Deedat. Unfortunately, Naik knows better than to debate those who can demonstrate his errors. Which is why he remains so popular, it seems! But he cannot hide his many falsehoods. David...
Zakir Naik Illustrates the Dual Face of Islam When in the Public Square
Very interesting contrast from Zakir Naik’s own mouth (again illustrating why Naik refuses to debate those who could expose his arguments).
Zakir Naik’s Claims on Muhammad in the Bible
Here is my third and final response to Zakir Naik’s appearance on The Deen Show. What I did was take my opening statement from my debate with Shabir Ally on this topic from London in November of last year, along with my comments on Deuteronomy 18:18 from the preceding...
Shabir Ally
Debate: Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons? with Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia 11/13/2019
On November 13, 2019, James White debated Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA on the topic Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons?
Response to Dr. Shabir Ally, Part IV (Conclusion)
I hurry to finish my response to the article published by Dr. Shabir Ally shortly after our debate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa in early October. This is the fourth, and thankfully, final portion of my response. Dr. Ally continued: James was clearly in a bind....
Debate: Did the Earliest Followers of Jesus Believe in His Deity? Shabir Ally at University of Pretoria, South Africa 10/8/2013
Islam
Road Trip Dividing Line #1!
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been dreaming about today! I am on day #1 of 22 on the road. Today was a big, big test, with some of the longest, steepest climbs in all of my trip. I did not know, until today, if our truck/5th wheel...
Trinity vs. Tawheed: James White & Jake Brancatella
A one hour forty minute Christian/Muslim debate on a key and important issue.
First DL from Mobile Command Center, Then Dale Tuggy Punches Low
We did our very first live DL from our new mobile command center, aka, our 5th wheel unit that will be my living quarters as I travel around the US in the future (starting at the end of next month with a nearly 4000 mile loop around the western...
King James Onlyism
Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1: Testimonies to the Deity of Jesus Christ
We spent today looking at the argument of Dr. Douglas Stauffer in his attempted defense of the King James Bible relating to Titus 2:13, specifically. Of course, we provided a lot of background, dove into the text, even took at look at P72, the earliest papyri manuscript of 2...
A Multi-Faceted Program
Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they...
Relevant Hit Piece, Targeting Home Schoolers, Acts 8:37
Responded to an article (hit piece) in Relevant Magazine once again on the “Jezebel” issue, looked at an attorney’s comments about homeschooling, and then looked at how King James Onlyism undercuts our ability to really defend Scripture, looking at Acts 8:37 using our Flip board in the “big studio.”...
Bible Transmission
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity – One Point of Contrast
Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Atheism
Equipped to Engage Conference will be LIVE at 6:00pm EDT
Please join us for an evening of powerful messages as Dr. James White and Dr. Jason Lisle equip us to engage Roman Catholics, the LGBTQ community, evolutionists and atheists with the truth of the Gospel. The event starts at 4pm MDT with a break from 5:15 – 6:30pm
Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew
We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with...
Conversion Bills, Great Reset News, Romans 13 Revisited
The title hard does it justice. Covered a lot of ground, including Bill C6 in Canada, the Victorian legislation in Australia, Jake Tapper tweeted an absurd hit piece on Tom Buck, Karen Swallow Prior vowing to never vote for a Republican again, LeCrae and non-partisan performances, Baylor collapsing to...
