The Muslim debater was Hamza Abdul Malik of the Islamic Propagation Center. I
Dr. White tells the story of encountering a Jehovah’s Witness that was deeply experienced at arguing against the deity of Christ, but was stumped by a simple question of soteriology. The show covers examples of groups that attempt to import false assumptions into a bible verse, including Roman Catholics and tradition, and LDS on baptism for the dead. A caller
If I spent my days responding to everything that is written about me on a daily basis on the web, my wife would forget my name, and my children would think they were orphans. It is never ending. And I have learned that expecting serious, exegetically based, consistent replies to the refutation of the errors of Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, the
This was Dr. White’s first time giving live commentary on a previously recorded debate. This review covered the cross examination section of Dr. White’s recent debate with Tim Staples on papal infallibility. There is a stark contrast between Staples inability to follow debate protocol and White’s questions that put Staples in the hotseat.
Dr. White considered this to be his most abundantly clear debate victory of all. Besides the factual matters of the debate that the concept of Papal infallibility has no foundation, there were technical matters that Staples, along with his students in the audience, were unable to abide by proper debate protocol. Further, Staples seems to have been confused concerning the
James White shows Papal Infallibility to be nothing more than a convenient invention of Rome in this debate. He clearly demonstrates that Roman arguments for Infallibility can’t stand up to the test of history. Listen as an expert dismantles the Roman arguments piece by piece leaving his opponent with nothing more than empty rhetoric. Once again a predominantly Roman Catholic
Six and a half hours of intensive debate over the course of two evenings. That’s the privilege I had July 6-7, 2000. The first three hours had an audience of hundreds of thousands, as I was privileged to join Hank Hanegraaff at the headquarters of the Christian Research Institute in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, for the third “marathon” session of
This lively discussion between James White and Tim Staples took place on July 6th, 2000, the day before the debate on Papal Infallibility.
Since the so-called journalism of network TV portrayed the materialist and naturalistic Jesus Seminary scholars as “biblical” scholarship, James White contextualizes their radical stance by reading Funk’s statement of faith with all its vitriol and hatred for every component of Orthodox faith. The charge to de-mythologize scholarship, not idolize it, which in this case uses circular reasoning.
This was the warm up to the Papal Infallibility debate. A lively discussion covering several different Catholic/Protestant topics. Interesting callers and input from Hank Hanagraaff.
My name is Kelli White. You probably don’t know me but if you’re reading this you may know of or at least heard of my husband, James White. He is the Director of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, AZ. Some say he is a controversial man at times. Last week is one such example. On Thursday he was in
The card came in a small, unobtrusive envelope with a San Diego return address on the back. It was sent to the ministry Post Office box, “Attn James White.” I opened it to find a card with a drawing of a Roman Catholic chalice and wafer on the front, and the title, “For Your Intentions.” I opened it to find
The Christian should be passionate about the Trinity, as following Tota Scriptura will inevitablely lead to believing in the Trinity, one being of God in three persons. Most objections to the Trinity confound the categories of being and person, and Jehovah’s Witnesses have a deeply entrenched presupposition of Unitarianism that must ignore texts that demonstrate the deity of Christ.
This new work, a 340-page response to Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free, has been published by Calvary Press. We have been overwhelmed at the response of the reviewers.The many endorsements listed below come from scholars, pastors, and those involved in ministry all across our nation and beyond. We have arranged the endorsements so that they appear in alphabetical order. At the end of
Dr. White shares and responds to variety of negative feedback over various aspects of his apologetics work, including Roman Catholicism and White’s “printer manual” analogy, as well as the LDS church. A caller asks about the state of Mormon “research” concerning archeology and the book of Mormon
Dr. White mentions that his article on Phillipians 2 was recently published in the CRI journal. He also responds to the first negative review of the new Potter’s Freedom book, and reviews his recent two debates against the Church of God and a Roman Catholic on Justification, whose arguments were similar to that of Dr. Geisler. Dr. White raised the
From the Keyboard of James White…. Things have certainly been busy for me over the past 12 months. I am still maintaining my workload of teaching, debating, writing, broadcasting, etc. And now with a new book and more to come, time seems very elusive. Speaking of new books, The Potter’s Freedom is now available and I am simply amazed at
James White calls in from the airport to report (20 minutes) in on his recent debate with a Roman Catholic and on the early reaction to his new book, Potter’s Freedom. Rich, Mike, and Simon take the opportunity to continue discussing James chapter 2. It does not negate salvation by faith alone, but they emphasize the necessity of a changed
Is the Roman Catholic Church correct when she says that we can merit justification? Was the Council of Trent right after all? Can we lose our justification? Or is the Protestant Reformation correct in saying that a man is justified by faith alone, apart from works? Is Christ’s imputed righteousness enough to allow us to stand before a Holy God,
Dr. White is joined by Eddie Dalcour, president of the ministry “Department of Christian Defense”, and member of the Power Team. While touring with the Power Team, too many churches were sloppy with the Trinity and Justification. With Mormonism, denial of a creator God incompatible with Scripture. Caller question on double predestination and another on praying to the person of
Since Normal Geisler has a good reputation, James White responds to those that would question why the endorsements for the upcoming book Potter’s Freedom would need to be worded so strongly on the issue of the Doctrines of Grace. Two callers try to understand Geisler’s redefinition of terms. Also, the need to witness to Mormonism due to their hyper-polytheism:the centrality
The large gap that exists between Roman Catholic historical scholarship and Roman Catholic apologists is a large one indeed. One often finds the historians admitting what the apologists will not regarding the truths of history that are so often utterly contradictory to later Roman dogmatic claims. This is especially
James White reads some of the impressive endorsements to his upcoming book Potter’s Freedom that responds to Norman Geisler, and answers calls about the usefulness of Presuppositional Apologetics. Concerning Mormonism, the law of eternal progression that the LDS teach to its own members about becoming a God by following the law betrays the church-like exterior that it shows to outsiders.
By cell phone, the crew passing out tracts share what it is like now that the new building is able to seat 21,000 people. Dr. White also shares his recent experience in an informal debate with a Roman Catholic that claimed the Protestant Reformation was successful and over, and that one could pray to Saint Martin Luther.
Dr. White contrasts the modern LDS approach that seeks converts with seemingly the minimum amount of information possible, and the approach of their ministry, which is explicitly about distinctives and is prepared to positively teach what the gospel actually is.
When the scheduled special guest fell through, the AoMin staff took the opportunity to share more about their experiences witnessing to Mormons. Instead of merely demonizing Joseph Smith, the focus needs to go back the gospel and the nature of God. Sometimes it was bystanders that responded to the truth more than the questioners themselves.
As the LDS Easter Pageant approaches, Dr. White and ministry staff demonstrate a gospel presentation based on the “Grace with Works is Dead” tract, which helps alert Mormons to the degree of their synergism compared a biblical soteriology. The Role Play exercise exhibits many typical objections that would be made by LDS elders. Calls taken to explain the Unitarian assumptions
Special guest host Mike Munoz explains that while there are several views on how the Law applies to Christians, it is certain that the ten commands are relevant to all believers. Paul is not antinomian in Galatians – he is merely responding to a distortion of the gospel. Certainly the “law of Christ” would not be contrary to the commands
When proclaiming a gospel of salvation by faith alone, this passage in James 2 is often wrongly used in protest as a would-be rebuttal. An exegesis of the passage reveals that its context deals with the difference between right living for believers and hypocritical false faith, not the way one becomes a Christian.
It is the constant theme of the modern resurgence in Roman Catholic apologetics: take the teaching of the Magisterium as the final word, and do to the early Fathers whatever you need to so as to substantiate the dogmatic teachings of Rome. It is pleasant to read Roman scholars who have come to recognize that the early Church was not
For a number of years now I have been presenting to audiences, classes, and just about anyone who would lend me their ear, the concept of the Marian dogmas (and the Bodily Assumption of Mary in particular) as the single best example of sola ecclesia I can find. What is sola ecclesia? It is the concept that the Roman Church
