Advent Blessings

James White, December 24, 2003, Personal

OK, I know, Baptists are not supposed to know, or at least use, words like “advent” since that sounds way too liturgical and all. But, it is a good biblical word, describing that tremendous historical event when the eternal Son of God, the one through whom all things were made, entered into His own creation, taking on flesh, being made

The “Read My Book Debate” Review

Sample E-Mails in Response to the BAM “Debate”

James White, December 21, 2003, Mail Bag

Dear James, In spite of Hank’s best efforts to gang up on you, you (through Scripture) smashed George Bryson’s reasoning. I was amazed at his lack of understanding of the Bible and his refusal to address Genesis 50:20, his explaining away Rom. 8:7,8 with a “you don’t need to see my papers” (Star Wars reference) smokescreen, etc. I hate that

Lazarus and Category Errors

James White, December 21, 2003, Reformed Apologetics

Ever wondered why anyone would object to the Lazarus story as illustrative of God’s work of regeneration? I was thinking about it after George Bryson said on BAM that God changes hearts, but, not everyone whose heart is changed believes, because there are different “levels” of change. I had mentioned the biblical phraseology from Ezekiel 36:26, taking out a heart

God Has Been Good To Me

James White, December 20, 2003, Personal

Cruises produce wonderful pictures. I happen to think I have a truly wonderful family. In fact, the following picture would look much better if I were not in it, but then it wouldn’t be a family picture! My kids were involved in the discussions on the cruise, from my son being at the theological talks each night, to my daughter

Rules for Interpretation in the 21st Century

James White, December 20, 2003, Misc

I received an e-mail that contained a list of “Principles of Biblical Interpretation for the 21st Century. While I didn’t agree with all of them, the first five were sadly accurate: Scripture is full of paradoxes and apparent contradictions that cannot be explained, reconciled, harmonized, or systematized by the finite, human mind

Preserving Traditions

James White, December 19, 2003, Reformed Apologetics

How can a person who defends the Trinity, for example, properly and accurately from Scripture, then turn around and defend the idea that God’s sovereignty is a chimera, and that man is actually sovereign over God, so that man’s libertarian free will is actually supreme, in the great matter of salvation, over God’s? The answer has become clearer for me

A Quick Note

James White, December 17, 2003, Misc

What an incredible experience. Nineteen days on the road, the Stafford debate, the apologetics cruise, a respiratory infection, preaching at three different churches, all capped off by three hours on The Bible Answer Man broadcast. Just a few things, since I just flew home and have way too much to do to try to dig out from underneath all that

The ‘Read My Book’ Debate on BAM

James White, December 16, 2003, Uncategorized

This informal debate took place on December 16th 2003 on the Bible Answerman Broadcast. James White faces off against Hank Hanegraaff (The Bible Answerman) and George Bryson (Calvary Chapel). Confronted with numerous bible passages against his philosophical position George Bryson avoids interacting with the passages and simply repeats conundrums while making a number of his own dogmatic assertions. At one

Is Jesus God or a god? (White vs Stafford)

James White, December 11, 2003, Jehovah's Witnesses, The Dividing Line

This historic debate with one of Jehovah’s Witnesses best apologists centers on the deity of Christ.

Svendsen Replies to Sungenis

Just a quick note to let you know that Eric Svendsen has rebutted Sungenis’ article. It seems Sungenis didn’t learn much from the Mr. X debacle. Click here.

A Question for JW’s

James White, November 20, 2003, Jehovah's Witnesses

So you think Jesus is a mighty angelic creature, the greatest of God’s creations, and is hence “a god”? And that all the passages that refer to him as qeovj, theos, “god,” are simply referring to him as one in a class of mighty angelic creatures? Well, if that is so, pray tell us all: if a creature, no matter

AAPCism and NPism Continue to Melt Together

James White, November 20, 2003, Reformed Apologetics

I have been severely criticized by some for noting the similarity of conclusions drawn by some in the Auburn Avenue movement and those found in New Perspectivism. Yet, as I am monitoring both sides, I cannot help but seeing a confluence of perspectives, despite the very different backgrounds and sources of the two movements. A good friend of mine, who

Bob Sungenis Roots for the Cardinals

James White, November 19, 2003, Roman Catholicism

The Arizona Cardinals stink. Let’s face it. They got clocked 44-6 this past weekend, and they are headed for another one of their regular 4-12 type seasons. I have often said I’d be happy to volunteer to pack them up and ship them off to any city willing to take them. They are just bad from top to bottom. So

Eric Svendsen and Gerry Matatics On The Dividing Line

James White, November 18, 2003, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

WOW. What a Dividing Line! For those who listened in (we set new records both for those listening live and the number of folks in the chat channel) on Tuesday evening when Eric Svendsen and I took on Gerry Matatics, it was quite the experience. Despite a couple of woops’s (we fried another channel on our sound board!), the 80-minute

Massachusetts Changes Name to Gomorrah

James White, November 18, 2003, Christian Worldview

Not that anyone is overly surprised. The decades of corruption of the judiciary (a fact openly acknowledged, at least by their actions, by one major political party) has led inevitably to the actions of the Massachusetts Supreme Court today. To quote Reuters: In a 4-3 ruling that could make Massachusetts the first state to legalize gay marriage, the Supreme

“Hews Hou” and RC Apologists

For those who might wish to do some reading to be ready for the Svendsen/White vs. Matatics DL Tuesday night, here is an excellent article by Eric Svendsen in response to the article cited by Matatics in my debate with him in October in Salt Lake City, the article Matatics indicated “destroys” the hews hou argument.

Are Mormons Trinitarians?

Here is the article I referenced on the DL Tuesday evening: Are Mormons Trinitarians? Quick Thought: In preparing for the upcoming debate with Greg Stafford on the deity of Christ in Tampa (click here for info), a wonderful Christian brother expanded upon a concept I had written about in The Forgotten Trinity. Specifically, some who deny the deity of Christ
