Alpha and Omega Ministries is a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. James White, director, is a professor, having taught Greek, Systematic Theology, and various topics in the field of apologetics for numerous schools.
There are few programs that have had me on as often as “Issues, Etc.” with Todd Wilkins, produced by Jeff Schwarz. Today, the program was rather unceremoniously axed, and basically all evidence of its existence deleted. Given that I have greatly benefitted from the program, I would like to encourage others who have likewise been blessed by it to express
Today was the last DL for two weeks. We will be back on April 1st (no puns intended). Had lots of calls on a wide variety of topics today, and likewise played two clips, one from Zakir Naik, demonstrating that the normative Islamic apologists either do not understand the Christian faith they criticize or, sadly, do not care to accurately
I wrote a review of Daniel C. Peterson’s book on Muhammad for the CRI Journal recently, so I found this little announcement quite interesting. This is one debate I am looking forward to listening to! Details here.
More from the 1993 encounter between myself and Gail Riplinger.
And now, something personal. “The one who finds a wife finds what is enjoyable, and receives a pleasurable gift from the LORD.” (Proverbs 18:22, NET). May the Lord bless you both, Joshua and Tiffany, and may your marriage be blessed from on high. Joshua and Tiffany White, March 15, 2008
A while back I started to replace the files that I had posted on GodTube (my account was deleted without notice or explanation). So some of these were posted a while back (a year ago or so).
Started with a discussion of Job and the problem of evil in reference to Bart Ehrman’s new book. Then Manuel was given a shot at discussing Oneness theology, but…we had to move on to talk about a synoptic parallel issue, and then a little discussion of the Pope & Luther issue.
Started off with a few minutes on the topic of the deity of Christ and Victor Paul Wierwille, then moved on to F. LaGard Smith’s closing statement in the ISI debate (wear asbestos gloves while listening to that part if you are Reformed), and finished up with a call on indulgences.
Steve Ray blogged today about those nasty, “tedious” anti-Catholics and in doing so directed his readers to a music video “response.” Great guitar work, catchy tune, the lyrics work…musically, anyway. Too bad the history, Bible, and Trinitarian theology are all messed up! Thanks again, Steve, for proving that there is no limit to how far you will go to avoid
After a brief call from a Oneness Pentecostal who seems to have some self-control/anger issues, I played the audio from a YouTube video of Muslim speaker Khalid Yasin as he leads a group of people through the shahada, the confession that makes one a Muslim. A very informative program!
For just one example of the articles on this particular topic today, see here.
I broke out in hives as soon as I scanned the list. I became dizzy, and lost my appetite. OK, I’m making that up. But the list is very, very…familiar to me. For some odd reason. Maybe because I have debated most of the authors, or, tried? Been threatened with lawsuits by at least one of them (take a wild
James Swan has noted a few times the speed with which Dave Armstrong can edit things on his blog when they are shown to be embarrassing. Evidently, Steve Ray is a quick study. When he first posted his blog article dishonestly accusing me of saying Ignatius was a Reformed Baptist (the very thing I had strenuously denied), the title contained
This was the most interesting of the two programs in my opinion. Riplinger shows her utter disregard for context, logic, rationality—anything.
Another eclectic discussion today, starting with “calciumboy’s” response to me on the Ankerberg stuff, then moving on to some comments by Jamal Badawi in his debate with Rittenhouse in Southern California last week, then going back to the Tim Staples/total depravity clip from last week.
For folks on the run!
I did the DL today: but there is no recording of it. Sorry! Rich was sick, I had only a few minutes to try to set everything up and do it all myself, and I simply forgot to start the recording before the program began. I probably should have just used that hour for something more useful anyway, I guess!
I will be speaking Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Bible Fellowship Church in Hemet, California. Here is a link. Hope to see some of our Southern California friends there!
It has been over two months since my last installment in my series in response to Ali Ataie’s attack on the credibility of the Apostle Paul, found here. My last post can be found here. I played with the idea of moving to the video format for the continuation of these replies, but given that the original article is text
Went a little long today because I had a lot to cover. First, Neil from Toronto called to give us a quick review of the Hunt/Ally debate from last Friday. Then I launched into Steve Ray’s now completely documented dishonesty, and his promotion of William Albrecht’s video responses to my series on Ignatius. So I reviewed Ray’s blog article (noted
If you thought there was a “renaissance” of Roman Catholic apologetics a few decades ago, I believe you can see this entry by Roman Catholic apologist Steve Ray as the tomb stone of any such renaissance. Recall that over the past few weeks a series of videos has appeared on my blog. The videos provide the broad context of Ignatius’
