James White, Author at Alpha and Omega Ministries

Many Thanks

James White, January 7, 2009, Textual Issues

Monday morning I posted two items on my ministry resources list at Amazon, both commentaries on John by Origen. By Tuesday evening the books were sitting on my desk, being put to use (thank you CR!). They led me to the needed location in a resource I’ve had for many years so as to have the exact citations, in Greek,

Get Ready to Rumble in 2009

James White, January 7, 2009, Pastoral Theology

Surprise! I’m not talking about my debates. I am talking about a re-ignition of the justification controversy due to the publication of NT Wright’s new book, from IVP no less, Justification: God’s Plan and Paul’s Vision, expected in June, 09. One of the “endorsements” should get our attention: “Tom Wright has out-Reformed America’s newest religious zealots–the neo-Reformed–by taking them back

Does Hebrews 2:9 Deny Particular Redemption?

James White, January 7, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

This is the section from the last DL on the subject of Hebrews 2:9.

The 33,000 Protestant Denominations Lie Again, Plus Ehrman with the Infidel Guy

James White, January 6, 2009, The Dividing Line

On today’s Dividing Line we began with a further refutation of the constantly repeated falsehood on the part of Rome’s defenders concerning the “33,000 Protestant denominations” claim. We invited Tim Staples to call, but alas, he didn’t. Then we began reviewing Bart Ehrman’s appearance on The Infidel Guy’s webcast.

Thank You, Thank You

James White, January 5, 2009, Technology

Rich just informed me that we have reached our goal and will be able to order the audio/video computer. My sincerest thanks to all who participated. I hope as you see the videos going out and read about people being blessed thereby that you will feel a part of what we are doing here. I would like to also thank

An Update on Ministry Resources

James White, January 5, 2009, Misc

I understand we are within $200 of the audio/video machine, for which I am very grateful. I just added two very high priority items to my ministry resource wishlist, comprising Origen’s commentaries on John. I need to check some textual references in preparation for the Ehrman debate, but, if I don’t have them, I’ll survive. Just like to track down

Out of Mormonism

James White, January 3, 2009, Testimonies

Dear A&O ministries, I have been very fond of this ministry for at least a decade now. I began my “religious” experience back when I became a member of the LDS church in high school. Some friends and myself were attending a general conference when I had ventured to cross the street to get some lunch at the nearby mall.

Hebrews 2:9

James White, January 2, 2009, The Dividing Line

I began today addressing Hebrews 2:9 and following, demonstrating the a-contextual, eisegetical use of the text by Arminians. I then addressed question #79 on William Lane Craig’s website which mentions my comments on Romans 9 and John 6:65. Then we took a number of calls on textual critical issues before returning, briefly, to listening to the Covenanter’s Call radio program

For My Good Friend, Tom Ascol

James White, January 1, 2009, Misc

I noticed today that my good friend Tom Ascol wants a motorcycle. But, his dear wife said lightning would have to strike first. Well, that’s one obstacle down anyway. I’ve been riding since I was 19 (do the math: that means I have safely ridden with no accidents or tickets for about 27 years). My last two rides I purchased

Well, some Dave Hunt fans think so!

More Regarding King James, Bart Ehrman, etc.

James White, December 30, 2008, The Dividing Line

We did take one call on the meaning of arsenokoites, but other than that we focused back on The Covenanter’s Call radio program and its “review” of The King James Only Controversy.

Yes, There is Still Time!

James White, December 29, 2008, Misc

Yes, the economy has nosed over into recession, and everyone is tightening their belts, so to speak. But as a result, the travel industry is hurting big-time, too. So, what does that mean for you? How about an incredible opportunity to come with us on the four day cruise in January? How does $150 a person sound? I’m being perfectly

Does Mark Contradict Luke and John?

James White, December 29, 2008, General Apologetics

Bart Ehrman teaches his students that Mark presents a very different portrayal of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion than Luke, or John. John Dominic Crossan says the same thing. As common as the claim is, does the text back it up? In no way. Here is the Sunday morning sermon at PRBC from December 28, 2008 from Mark 14 and 15.

More Great Encouragement from a Brother in the Lord

James White, December 28, 2008, Testimonies

Your debates and teaching on the sovereignty of God helped me over the years to come to the confident conclusion of the Reformed position on election. I enjoy the Dividing Line and the podcast. My son, now an adult, also listens to your debates and gets your books. I don’t see how you keep up with all the work. I

James White, December 27, 2008, Testimonies

Dear aomin team, Congratulations on your 25th anniversary! I got to know about your website a year or more ago, and its been such a blessing to me. I work as an IT Analyst and love to defend my faith with people of various ethnicities and varying levels of intellectual interest. And being a 5 year old Christian, there are

A Really Encouraging Note

James White, December 26, 2008, Testimonies

Dr. White and Rich, I’m about to graduate from seminary and its all because of you Dr. White. Because I admired you and your ministry so much, the moment I heard you say that learning Greek and Church history have proven to be the most valuable “tools” of you apologetic ministry, it inspired me to learn Greek

Ruckmanism Abounds

James White, December 26, 2008, King James Onlyism

I will be continuing my response to, and rebuttal of, Bryan and Jason on “The Covenanter’s Call” radio program on the DL on Tuesday. They did another program on Tuesday evening where they said they would take calls. I listened to the program, and when they attempted to respond to Revelation 16:5, they indicated that they did not understand the

An Honest Statement

James White, December 24, 2008, Islam

I noticed some of the websites/blogs I read regularly were complaining about this banner that has been hung in Nazareth: I have not the slightest complaint about Muslims hanging this banner. This is Surah 112, Al-Ikhlaas, “the Purity.” It is as close as you can get to a creedal statement in the Qur’an. I have referenced it often on this

On Monday I am going to be re-recording my opening statement in the resurrection debate that took place in 2005 between myself and Dr. Jim Renihan of the Institute for Reformed Baptist Studies (representing historical Christianity) and John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg on the topic of the resurrection. Then we are going to try to sync that up with

OK, when they got to the part about Dan Wallace, I cracked up. Only Greek geeks will find this funny. But hey, that’s me.

Two DVDs from Dan Wallace

James White, December 19, 2008, Textual Issues

I can’t help it. I really like Dan Wallace. One of my favorite memories of ETS in Orlando in 1998 was standing at the NET Bible booth for a long period of time debating the interpretation of the Carmen Christi with Dan. Neither of us had a text with us, but we both knew it well enough to do without.

James White, December 18, 2008, The Dividing Line

Pressed forward with our review and response to the King James Only presentation we began on Tuesday, this time getting into the background of the Textus Receptus and the basic circularity of the arguments used in this particular radio program. Also took two useful calls as well.

The Trials and Tribulations of Kittenhood

James White, December 18, 2008, Personal

I realize I am risking my baby-eating Calvinist image by mentioning this, but we have a new kitten in the White household. A feral kitten–at least in the sense that mother and father cat are wild (won’t let us get anywhere NEAR them). But, this kitten (ominously named Darth) is—well, utterly unique. Not only is she the cutest ball of
