I’m putting together a video or two for YouTube documenting the amazing antics of one Texe Marrs. So today I played the recording of Marrs’ call to KIXL Radio back in 1994 during my radio debate with D.A. Waite. Then we took a good call on the Book of Mormon, then I reviewed some Jimmy Akin comments on predestination. Now,
I got Bart Ehrman’s new book yesterday in the mail, and here are some initial thoughts that prove once again, “theology matters.”
Yesterday I reviewed some clips from an interview done by Dave Armstrong. I noted some of his amazing statements, and in particular, I found quite humorous his very inflated sense of importance in basically vanquishing the entire Protestant world from the field of battle. No one can respond to Dave Armstrong! Well, I knew Dave would respond, and respond he
OK, I blame TQuid for sending me the Dave Armstrong clips, and Rich for pointing me to the Three Dog Night song (which I had never heard till today, honestly). But the result is…an unusual DL!
I started working on this last evening and got at least the first portion done today. I will post the rest of this amazing encounter over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
I am posting my opening statement from the Seattle debate with Shabir Ally. It will be broken into three sections. It is my hope my fellow believers will be encouraged to speak about the cross to their Muslim friends by this presentation.
Yesterday on The Dividing Line the callers drove the topic after I spent the first portion of the program discussing the renewed move to define Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix, and Advocate for the people of God, as discussed by Art Sippo in a recent blog article. Then the callers had some pretty tough exegetical and hermeneutical questions.
For those who like church history/patristics oriented programs, yesterday’s Dividing Line was for you! Discussions of Augustine, Origen, and whether you should interpret the New Testament in light of Christological definitions created three and four centuries after the time of the Apostles filled our time on the program.
A young man has attempted to defend at least a portion of Deedat’s argument on John 1:1, here. But here is a strong illustration of the fact that “a little Greek is a dangerous thing.”
I do believe we will need to start to view our brothers seeking to proclaim the gospel in the United Kingdom as foreign missionaries in their own homeland, given the speed with which the British culture is collapsing into utter irrationality and loathing of God and His laws. I was just pointed to this article: Gay Christian wins £47k pay-out
I was sent a link to this gentleman’s videos attacking me. It is a classic example of the mindset that exemplifies King James Onlyism. The description included such lines as, “James White, the master deciever and arrogant liar that he is has distorted much facts about the King James Bible and the history of the Bible as a whole.” As
First three quarters of today’s program involved talking to a brother from Florida about what kind of question he can ask of his Muslim friends at a presentation on the Qur’an as the “final revelation from God.” I made reference to this video and played it during my response. I also mentioned the video below, which I had just posted
This is a response to this video.
Covered a range of items again today, starting off with a truly excellent Christopher Hitchens impression by yours truly (really, I mean it!), and some discussion of his hatred of God, followed by a call from Stephen up in Toronto about the Deedat videos and Dave Hunt’s debate with Shabir Ally coming up. Then I reviewed Steve Ray’s comments on
1994, Austin Texas. Riding more than 5,000 miles a year on a road bike. Still had just enough hair to try to do a flat-top. Couldn’t get a word in edge-wise with Larry for the first five minutes of the show! Here is a nearly hour long video on the deity of Christ recorded nearly a decade and a half
A pastor friend of mine up in Scotland took this shot. Makes me want to get back to Scotland, that’s for sure. Just gorgeous. Of course, right now, this spot is probably blanketed under snow. Might be a bit less inviting! I’m working on getting two more vlogs put together this afternoon, one of which continues the refutation of Ray/Michuta.
The Abuse of Ignatius of Antioch by Roman Catholic Apologist Steve Ray (#2)
James White, , Roman CatholicismI continue with my examination of Steve Ray’s claims concerning Ignatius of Antioch (second in a series).
Well, I thought I would spend some time talking about the Gregg debate, but as soon as the intro music finished, I looked at my little tablet pc, which has our phone system software running on it, and who is the first caller, but Nadir Ahmed. And the attached description of the call is about why he won’t be doing
I have canceled the proposed debate in California with Steve Gregg on Calvinism. We will do a series of programs instead. Here is a discussion of the developments that led to this decision. And, I noted this response to Gregg in my comments.
Here is a pdf of the discussion in channel.
This coming Friday night/Saturday morning I will be the guest on the apologetics.com radio program on KKLA with Lindsay Brooks. My daughter, Summer, joined us for the first half hour to talk about her experience last semester with Dr. Carter. Then we pretty well wandered about the apologetic landscape! We pre-recorded the program since…it airs between midnight and 2am! Maybe
Here is an article from muslimmatters.org that is worth reading. It deals with the Ahl al-Kitab, (أهل الكتاب), “the People of the Book,” which in the Qur’an, depending on context, is a reference to Christians, Jews, or Christians and Jews. I.e., monotheists who possess the Scriptures that Allah sent down before the Qur’an. It is good to listen to the
