Dave Armstrong

James White, March 28, 2004, Roman Catholicism

It is good to know that even on weekends the ever-vigilant Dave Armstrong is reading my blog. Seriously, only a few hours after posting my response to TGE below, DA (as he is so affectionately known by so many) posted a long, rambling response that, to be honest, has almost nothing whatsoever to do with what I said. I normally

Blog Wars II? The Sequel is Never as Good as the Original

James White, March 27, 2004, Roman Catholicism

It has seemed of late that TGE is back into the “shoot at my former comrades-in-arms” mode (he goes through phases like that), despite his stated intention, having “won” the last round, to move on to higher ground. Seems someone is still rather…agitated. Regular listeners to the DL and readers of this blog know that I often have rather strong

Bob Ross and Debating Calvinism

James White, March 27, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

I received at least three copies of Bob L. Ross’s “review” of Debating Calvinism over the past 24 hours or so. I recall Bob Ross going after The Potter’s Freedom as well. Despite how often I say “God ordains the ends as well as the means,” or “God uses the proclamation of the gospel as the means by which he

Sam Shamoun and answering-islam.org

James White, March 26, 2004, Islam

We are not a big “links” website (barely have time to keep up with stuff as it is), but we gladly and heartily recommend to you answering-islam.org, and especially the resources offered by Sam Shamoun. Sam is a good friend of the ministry, and just an all around good guy, despite his looks. 🙂 Sam was on our last cruise

John Calvin on Rome:

James White, March 26, 2004, Roman Catholicism

For both the writings of holy fathers, the acts of councils, and all history, make it plain that this height of power, which the Roman pontiff has now possessed for about four hundred years, was attained gradually, or rather was either craftily crept into, or violently seized. But let us forgive them this, and let them take for granted that

Counter-Cult Expert Unable to Document Charges

James White, March 25, 2004, Misc

I noted in the blog entry for 2/27/04 that I had contacted Dr. Douglas Cowan in an effort to obtain from him documentation for the charges he made against me in print in his book, Bearing False Witness? An Introduction to the Christian Counter-cult. After waiting nearly a month, I wrote to Dr. Cowan a second time. Here is the

The “Pristine Faith Restoration Society” and John 6

James White, March 25, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

Yeah, I had never heard of it either. But a listener to the DL wrote and referred me to a discussion of John 6 on the site, and said they found it compelling. So, I have taken the time to reply to it here. If you visit the site, you might find it odd that the very nice graphic with

Open Phones on the DL Tomorrow

James White, March 24, 2004, The Dividing Line

It has been quite some time since we took phone calls, so we will throw the lines open tomorrow, Thursday, at 4PM MST, for your calls (877-753-3341). We had one caller Tuesday I didn’t get to (call back!), and since we have talked about Adrian Rogers, Dave Hunt, and a number of other topics since having open phones, I’m sure

ACK! I Forgot! My Apologies

James White, March 23, 2004, The Dividing Line

OK, since too many of you have figured out the Dividing Line schedule, we are changing it again. Starting THIS MORNING we will go back to the Tuesday 11AM/Thursday 4PM schedule (MST). Seriously, why change the schedule? We get a lot of complaints about that. Well, it’s simple: it’s a two man operation, and both of us are family men,

UMC Proves Inerrancy Matters

James White, March 22, 2004, Post-Evangelicalism

The “acquittal” of a “lesbian pastor” by officials of the United Methodist Church (story) has once again demonstrated what happens when the full authority and inerrancy of the Scriptures is abandoned by a once strongly evangelistic denomination. If you are one of those who cannot begin to understand how anyone can call themselves a minister of the gospel, claim fidelity

Ah, Alexander Junior Pipes Up

James White, March 21, 2004, Misc

I know that some have been confused about the note below to Alexander the coppersmith. Perhaps recalling the context of 2 Timothy 4:14-15 would help, along with the realization that just as there were those who opposed the apostle’s teaching long ago, there will be those who engage in that activity today, all the while claiming to be fellow believers,

Angel’s Eye on Apologetics:

James White, March 20, 2004, Roman Catholicism

Angel must have listened to the Madrid debate on the veneration of saints and images, because I well remember making with my words the point he here makes with his art. And, as usual, it is more memorable when Angel does it:

A Message for Alexander, the coppersmith:

James White, March 20, 2004, Roman Catholicism

It has been a while since I heard from you, Alexander. I knew you were still lurking, waiting for your next opportunity to continue your crusade. Your opposition to those who seek to promote the gospel, especially in apologetic contexts, is well known, though, of course, you are constantly working to keep up that “image” behind which you hide your

Thoughts on Debating

James White, March 19, 2004, Mormonism

We live in a post-modern age where a zealous passion for truth is considered, at best, odd, especially in “academic” circles. So much of modern scholarship is based upon the idea that there really is no certainty available to us in any field, and surely not in theology, hence, why bother debating? Let’s just discuss things, see if we can

Arminian Grace

James White, March 19, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

The following was posted to our channel and on a web board, so hopefully Dennis will not mind my posting it here, too. It seems relevant to the recent discussion of Dave Hunt’s preaching. Arminian grace! How strange the sound Salvation hinged on ME I once was lost then turned around Was blind then chose to see What “grace” is

Dr. Hamblin Declines Challenge

James White, March 18, 2004, Mormonism

It didn’t take long. Dr. Hamblin will not accept our challenge. His reasons were, quite simply, without merit. They were: 1) we set the time and place

Spurgeon Speaks to Dave Hunt From Heaven

James White, March 17, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

Because sometimes a learned minister ventures, in all honesty and discretion, to give a more correct translation of the original, can this justify a foolish unlettered man in altering the original itself, and perverting the sense of a passage? There is an end to Scripture altogether, if license be given to alter its teachings according to our will. To

An Open Challenge to Dr. William Hamblin of Brigham Young University

James White, March 17, 2004, Mormonism

Over the past 36 hours a number of e-mails have shot back and forth between myself and Dr. William Hamblin of BYU. As has been the case in the past, the initial contact was unsolicited on my part. I noted its nature below. But it came at an interesting time, for we will be debating once again in Salt Lake

BYU Explodes With Humor

James White, March 16, 2004, Mormonism

It is great to know that such scholars as William Hamblin of BYU read my little blog. Today he sent me a note, quoting the item immediately below this one (“A True Advil Experience”), but taking Dave Hunt’s name out, putting mine in, and changing the topic to Mormonism. He then asked if I have a sense of humor. Well,

Tomorrow on the DL: Dave Hunt Says James White Does Not Want “Debating Calvinism” in Print

James White, March 15, 2004, The Dividing Line

For those of you who have been writing and saying, “Look, come on, can you find a meaningful Arminian to debate, that Hunt encounter, though useful in responding to the common, but uninformed and shallow objections to Calvinism, was hardly a fair fight” may find this utterly amazing, but it is true: Dave Hunt thinks he proved his points in

A True Advil Experience

James White, March 15, 2004, The Dividing Line

Listening to a couple of hours of Dave Hunt railing on Calvinism gave me a royal headache last evening. But, you will benefit when you listen to the DL this afternoon. I am simply grieved to hear Dave repeat falsehoods upon which he has been corrected over and over and over again, without even trying to get it right. It

A Point of Personal Privilege

James White, March 14, 2004, Personal

I confess, I am somewhat hesitant, given the vociferous nature of the opposition we face regularly, to say almost anything personal on the blog outside of theological issues, but I’ll trust the Lord on this one. 🙂 Yesterday I was the best man in the wedding of one of my closest friends in the world, Warren Smith. Warren is a

Non-Adults? Are You Serious?

James White, March 12, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

A lot of folks think that Dave Hunt and I wrote our debate book one chapter at a time. We didn’t. Each of us wrote our 3000 word opening statements (seven of them), then exchanged them, wrote 2000 word replies, exchange them, wrote 1000 word replies, then two more 500 word exchanges for each chapter. Why mention this? Well, it

Today on the DL: Continuing Response to Adrian Rogers’ Recent Anti-Calvinism Sermon

James White, March 11, 2004, The Dividing Line

Of course, Dr. Rogers never mentions us nasty “Calvinists” by name. We are just “some people.” But his recent anti-Calvinism sermon is a classic example of how to teach tradition without the slightest investment of a moment’s consideration as to the meaningful exegesis of any text you throw out. Nearly 25 examples of “how to completely shred a straw-man while

Major Announcement!

James White, March 10, 2004, Misc

Those of you who listened live to the Dividing Line last evening, you are “in on the big news.” For everyone else, here it comes. If you will click on the cruise page over to the right you will see not only a new page that gives you a lot more reason to join us for our apologetics cruise, but

Video Evidence: We Got Out Just In Time

James White, March 9, 2004, Mormonism

Want video evidence that A&O escaped the fiasco that has become the General Conference of the LDS Church at the last possible moment? The Mormons have provided it. Truly makes you wonder if these people are undercover LDS. No one is more effective in blaspheming Christ and mocking the gospel than these “preachers” (2 Timothy 4:14-15).
