Another Testimony–Still Celebrating 25 Years of Faithfulness!

James White, February 6, 2009, Testimonies

I can certainly thank God for your ministry. I’ve grown up (I’m 26 and have been a Christian little more than half that time) in the Wesleyan denomination and so until April/May of this year have been more or less Arminian in my theology. For a few years before that time I had already felt dissatisfaction with Arminian soteriology, but

Westminster Confession of Faith

James White, February 5, 2009, The Dividing Line

I was very thankful that Robert called to discuss his position that the TR is the pure version of the New Testament, and his view that the Westminster Confession of Faith requires us to believe this. It is one thing when I discuss the topic, it is another to listen to an exchange. Very useful.

Tenacity and Conjectural Emendation

James White, February 5, 2009, Textual Issues

The Ehrman debate will be a gold mine of quotes and topics for some time to come. Sadly, the really important portions of the debate have not been the focus of the initial flurry of commentary in the blogosphere, but that is to be expected. Instead, in this video I not only provide the first glimpse of the actual debate

Ehrman Redux

James White, February 4, 2009, General Apologetics

Tired of the Ehrman topic? So are Christian college students as they sit in their classrooms, believe me. I mentioned on the DL yesterday one of the young students who comes into our channel complaining that her textbook was written by…Bart Ehrman. And this evening I was appraised of the release in less than a month of a new book

How King James Onlyism Impacts One’s Mind

James White, February 4, 2009, Textual Issues

Alan Kurschner reviewed a KJV Only article yesterday, and the author (who wrote his first post without having listened to the entire debate, completed his review. The level of bias flies past the level of sheer bigotry, as seen in this amazing paragraph: In fairness to Ehrman, even though I hate the work that he does, he has a higher

Joel McDurmon

James White, February 3, 2009, The Dividing Line

I was thinking we might be able to get to the topic of the romantic view of the TR held by many TR’s (Truly Reformed folks), but my interaction with Joel McDurmon went the whole hour. I must admit, this particular aspect of “post-debate discussion” is distasteful for me. There are far too many folks who hide behind a keyboard

Second Response to Joel McDurmon

James White, February 3, 2009, Textual Issues

On January 30th, Joel McDurmon posted an article on the American Vision website regarding his attendance at my debate with Bart Ehrman on the 21st. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to specific statements that appeared in that article. I would like to begin with Joel’s concluding comments: In the end, despite all of the helpful information and engaging points,

A Review of the Ehrman Debate

James White, February 2, 2009, Textual Issues

I wrote the following article for the American Vision website. It is the first of two replies to Joel McDurmon’s comments on the debate, likewise posted on AV. Mr. McDurmon will be joining me on the DL tomorrow.

Weekend Misc.

James White, January 31, 2009, Misc

This morning I was on David Wheaton’s Christian Worldview program discussing the Ehrman debate and related issues. I sounded like Barry White instead of James White, but hopefully it was helpful. I just finished the galley proofs of the 2nd edition of The King James Only Controversy. That means we should be seeing the new editions of both that book

NT Manuscripts and Romans 9

James White, January 29, 2009, The Dividing Line

Started with some discussion about the text of the New Testament again, took a call, and then, at the break, Darrin, the atheist I talked a bit about a few weeks ago, who had written to William Lane Craig, called in. We went about ten minutes long so we could talk.

Debate Report

James White, January 27, 2009, The Dividing Line

First DL back from the conference, debate, and cruise. Great to be home! Went over the debate again, played a couple other clips, and gave some background/before the debate information as well.

The Ehrman Debate: Phase Two

James White, January 24, 2009, Misc

As I mentioned on the DL last week, I see a strong need for me to press forward with the studies I did in preparation for the debate in the production of a book. I covered a much wider range of topics in my preparation than came up in the debate, including Synoptic issues, inspiration issues, allegations of contradiction, etc.

Ehrman Debate

James White, January 23, 2009, The Dividing Line

Did a Skype DL from the ship yesterday, playing eight clips from the Ehrman debate and commenting on them. The quality isn’t what you’ll get from the mp3s, of course, but very useful anyway. More on the Tuesday DL back in Phoenix!

Quick Announcement About the DL Today

James White, January 23, 2009, Misc

We will be doing a live DL from the Florida Keys today at 10:30am MST, 12:30pm EST. I will be playing clips from the Ehrman debate and taking your calls (Lord willing!).

Before We Head to Sea

James White, January 22, 2009, Textual Issues

I wanted to drop a line before we head out to sea. I’ve been thinking about last night, and a number of things have come to mind. First, I’m really glad Dr. Ehrman said many of the things he did. Most of us have known he was heading this direction, but the frankness of the debate, and his obvious displeasure

A Quick Report

James White, January 21, 2009, Misc

Just a quick note to thank everyone for your prayers for the debate tonight. Everything went smoothly as far as the debate is concerned. I think we have a great recording, etc. I think those in attendance were a little surprised at Dr. Ehrman’s treatment of me, but I wasn’t overly surprised. He did not prepare for the debate, had

Carla Provides a Good Post Inauguration T-Shirt Design

James White, January 21, 2009, Misc

My quote on this shirt is hardly unique. But it sure is becoming more rare. In any case, here is the link. I apologize for the quiet blog, but most of you know why. I will see if it is possible to drop a note after the debate this evening just to give you a quick summary, but I have

Unbelievable Radio Discussion

James White, January 20, 2009, Misc

We Skyped the DL today, as I am in Florida. Rattled around a bit for the first 15 minutes, then got into playing part of the Unbelievable radio discussion between Peter Williams and Bart Ehrman, took a call on the same topic as well. We intend to attempt to do a DL sometime Friday, but I will be at sea,

An Encouraging Word from Down Under

James White, January 18, 2009, Testimonies

I shall try to keep this as short as I can. Basically I stumbled onto your website about 2.5 years ago after stumbling onto a KJV-onlyist website (www.av1611.org) and although seeing that many of the arguments were absurd on their face (the KJV is actually EASIER to read than the new versions?? Seriously, they have this ‘scientific’ test to prove

Patrick Madrid, Bart Ehrman, and the Infidel Guy on the DL…oh My!

James White, January 15, 2009, The Dividing Line

Started out with a clip from Patrick Madrid attempting to get around the presence of non-Roman Catholic teachings in patristic sources, and then finished up listening to the Infidel Guy and Bart Ehrman.

For Those in the Central Florida Area

James White, January 14, 2009, Personal

I’ll be preaching at Grace Baptist Church this coming Sunday morning. Here are the details.

New Testament Textual Issues

James White, January 13, 2009, The Dividing Line

It should not be overly surprising to anyone that given the Ehrman debate is a week from tomorrow that the topic would be…New Testament textual issues! So we continued listening to the Infidel Guy/Ehrman program, this time getting into where the train jumped the tracks, i.e., where the Infidel Guy discovered Ehrman, unlike his other heroes, actually believes Jesus existed!

Disturbing Images

James White, January 13, 2009, Islam

I was just watching a very disturbing video, taken by Muslims themselves, of a clash with police in London on January 3rd, 2009. Since the Muslims were using profanity (and yelling “Allahu Akhbar” at the same time), I will not post the video, but here is the current link. I doubt it will be up long. In any case, the

The P52 Graphic

James White, January 12, 2009, Textual Issues

As most of you know, I am working now on the presentations I will be making next week in Florida, and, of course, primarily my opening presentation in the debate with Bart Ehrman. I have always wanted to do something more with Rylands 457 (P52) than just show it on the screen. So a few weeks ago I got an

Can’t Make the Debate? Help a Friend! (Update)

James White, January 10, 2009, Misc

I know lots of folks would like to make the debate in Florida but just can’t get away. #10 There is one young man who has been a great asset to me in preparation for this debate. He knows the textual critical field very well, and is one of my Team Apologian bloggers. But being your standard seminary student, he

A Quick Resource Request (Updated)

James White, January 9, 2009, Textual Issues

I have begun creating my KeyNote presentations for the conference, debate, and cruise, and in the process came across a resource that would surely expand my citations on one of the key texts that will be discussed, Mark 1:41. I have added it, with the highest priority, to the ministry resource list. It is the work on Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis

A Balanced View of Church History and a Blessing in the Philippines

James White, January 9, 2009, Testimonies

Dr. White, Interestingly as a flaming Pentecostal, I was not hesitant to accept this strange system of doctrine called Reformed Theology when I encountered it on your site. While your debates on Calvinism served to fortify my already strong conviction of Calvinist doctrine (I had been ‘converted’ before by some other Calvinist teachers). It was your love for Church History

Infidel Guy/Bart Ehrman Program

James White, January 8, 2009, The Dividing Line

Focused (after an initial phone call) on the Infidel Guy/Bart Ehrman program. I confess, I am so focused on this I could hardly let Ehrman say three words before stopping and commenting. But a good warm up for the debate! We will continue next week with the same topic.

2009 Filling Up Fast

James White, January 7, 2009, Personal

I hope to have a major debate announcement later this week to share with you all. I’m really excited about it! Also, please note that if you have discussed having me speak on apologetics/theology at your church, the earlier I hear from you the easier it is for me to schedule around debates and my main commitment to being at
