Angel Makes a Visit

James White, August 8, 2004, Misc

Lest some of you think you managed to convince me to abandon my sense of humor and the use of well crafted, purposeful, high-quality cartoons to make a point—you were wrong. Angel has simply been swamped with “real life” and unable to carve out any time for us (can you imagine what he’d come up with regarding some of our

Charles Stanley on John 6

James White, August 6, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

Next Tuesday on the Dividing Line we will discuss yesterday’s In Touch radio broadcast. Charles Stanley not only insisted that conviction of sin is not a necessary part of conversion (conviction of a felt need is), but his comments on John 6 left a number of listeners wondering if he had adopted the Dave Hunt Translation. Remember, the DL airs

Alexander Strikes Again

James White, August 5, 2004, Mormonism

I’ve put up with his personal insults since 1996, sniping footnotes in papers, the regular drumbeat of the “thorn in the flesh” that we sometimes must bear with as much grace as we can. But over the past year Dr. Owen has decided to take a much more public role not only in his ever-personal campaign, but now he is

Owen Bears More False Witness

James White, August 5, 2004, Roman Catholicism

Presbyterian scholar and professor at Montreat College Paul Owen continues bearing false witness in his public writings. After writing to Roman Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong that he would indeed be able to worship alongside a Roman Catholic “much more easily than with James White or David King” (Owen has said before he would rather see someone in a Catholic Church

Woah…Had to Post This One

James White, August 4, 2004, Personal

Sorry, for those of you who do not appreciate fractal art, but this thing suddenly appeared on my screen as I was tweaking a setting and I must say, it is one of the most amazing fractals I’ve ever produced. You can’t tell from this image, but if you download it from my website (click on the image) and view

Me Dumb. Me No Undustand

James White, August 3, 2004, Roman Catholicism

Try to read past the acidic tone (a commonality of rC’s these days); step back, listen, consider, and come to understand the capacity of the modern scholar to turn the most obvious statements on their head. But remember, through it all, I’m just a dumb Baptist, and it is probably my fault, too. 🙂 Prepare to enter the theological spin

Did You Know I Was a DJ—When That Meant Something?

James White, August 3, 2004, Personal

Yes, that’s me, March, 1981, sitting at the controls of KWAO FM 106.3 in Sun City, Arizona. I worked there in High School and into college, working six to midnight Monday through Friday and noon to six on Saturdays. And though that image is small, you can note that 1) I weighed about 140 lbs and had a 30 inch

Tradition Glasses

James White, August 3, 2004, General Apologetics

Want to test to see if your friendly neighborhood Arminian (a very common species of Christianus Evangelicus) has the Glasses of Libertarian Tradition firmly glued upon his or her face when reading the Scriptures? John 8:47 provides an excellent detection device: “He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because

To Die for “the Calvinist Doctrine”

James White, August 2, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

I get the Berean Call’s e-mail newsletter/update, and scan through it as time allows to see what comments are made regarding Dave’s anti-Calvinism campaign. I’ve seen some interesting comments. But this one was worth a reply: Dear Mr. Hunt, I enjoyed reading Debating Calvinism. I sat in the Calvinist camp for many years….Why don’t Calvinists preach their “doctrines of grace”

UltraFractal 3 and Orbit Traps

James White, August 1, 2004, Personal

For the half dozen of you who are enjoying your desktops more these days….I upgraded one of the two fractal programs I use, and have found Orbital Trapping a wonderful arena for exploration. (Actually, I’ve had a couple thousand visits to my fractal pages since I started posting a few samples here. I hope those who have downloaded a few

A Quote to Ponder

James White, August 1, 2004, Roman Catholicism

The question which is raised in sacerdotalism, in a word, is just whether it is God the Lord who saves us, or it is men, acting in the name and clothed with the powers of God, to whom we are to look for salvation. This is the issue which divides sacerdotalism and evangelical religion. (B.B. Warfield, The Plan of Salvation,

Let’s Back Up the Truck

James White, July 31, 2004, General Apologetics

OK, I’m getting the message loud and clear: massive confusion over-load in blog land. Perhaps this isn’t even the medium in which to attempt to address these things, I don’t know. In talking with folks in channel and in person I am coming to the conclusion that I am obviously incapable of expressing point #1 on the topic of the

Stark Contrast

James White, July 31, 2004, Roman Catholicism

Presbyterian Scholar of Today: In other words, I believe Roman Catholics and Protestants both agree that the sole OBJECT of faith is Christ. Anyone who believes in someone or something OTHER than Christ for justification does not have genuine faith. Faith is a whole-hearted commitment of oneself to, and trust in the person of Christ. The Roman Catholic who trusts

The Abstract of Principles on Justification

James White, July 30, 2004, Reformed Baptist Issues

We noted a few days ago that the London Baptist Confession of Faith (LBCF) of 1689 very clearly asserts the unified righteousness of Christ. What I mean by this phrase is that one cannot cut the righteousness of Christ our divine substitute into sub-parts while maintaining the whole: while everyone can and should distinguish between the active and passive obedience

Steve Camp on the Dividing Line Tonight!

James White, July 29, 2004, The Dividing Line

My good friend Steve Camp will be joining me on the DL this evening. Why, you might ask? Well, we have three things to discuss: 1) The Phillips, Craig & Dean Controversy (can we abbreviate that as the PC&D-C?) 2) Justification and the decline of sound theology in evangelicalism 3) the upcoming cruise which will feature both Steve’s music as

An Interesting Expansion in the LBCF, 1689

James White, July 27, 2004, Reformed Baptist Issues

As I am continuing my commentary on Professor Seifrid’s comments on justification (thought I had forgotten that, didn’t you?), I was doing some reading and ran across an interesting “expansion” in the London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) that is not found in the Westminster Confession of Faith (1648). Seemingly it comes from the Savoy Declaration, but I haven’t had

This is a simple 5th Order Newton M-set with the color tweaked out a good bit. Looks like neon lights behind the alien mother ship. 🙂 Or something, like that, sorta…I will have to talk about fractals sometime. Not only are they gorgeous, but I find some great theology in them as well.

Galatians 5 and Justification, Part 4

James White, July 26, 2004, Exegesis

Gal. 5:3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. Not only will Christ not allow himself to be joined to human self-righteousness, but the Apostle makes sure everyone understands that there is no such thing as partial righteousness in the law: one either follows the whole of

Galatians 5 and Justification, Part 3

James White, July 25, 2004, Exegesis

Gal. 5:2: Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Here is the outward manifestation of the yoke of slavery, circumcision. But here we see clearly the relationship that is being missed by many today. Why would Paul say to anyone, “Christ will be of no benefit to you”

Who is Visiting Your Church This Sunday?

James White, July 25, 2004, Christian Worldview

Recently we have all heard about Barry Lynn’s group, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, seeking to silence pastors from preaching in the pulpit on the moral stands of candidates for political office (story/follow up) and our duties as citizens in light of the Lordship of Christ. Our readers will remember that Lynn did not want the

Nothing More Amazing in Sport

James White, July 25, 2004, Personal

Between May 5, 1993, and November of 1998, I rode right at 29,000 miles on a bicycle. I rode my first century race (100 plus miles) less than six months after starting, and finished in less than six hours. At one point I owned a Bianchi ELOS with Campy Record components, and a Nishiki carbon fiber with Dura-ace components. I

Too Important to Scroll So Fast

James White, July 25, 2004, General Apologetics

I’ve been hitting a lot of topics quickly this weekend, but one needs to stay “current” through Monday (when a lot of folks catch up on the blog). That is the Phillips, Craig & Dean controversy. If you didn’t see it, here’s the entire article.
