James White vs Gilbert Scharffs James White debates Mormon apologist Gilbert Scharffs on the meaning of sin. This debate is an excellent example of the major divide that exists between Mormons and Christians on the depravity of man. Dr. Scharffs is the retired director of the LDS Institute of Religion at the University of Utah. He has a PhD from
A debate between Dr. James White and George Bryson on the subject of Calvinism.
In scanning a recent article by Mark Bonocore I noted an interesting example of the constant presence of anachronism in Roman Catholic apologetic treatments of both the Bible and patristic sources. In this case, he is responding to an un-named Protestant who wrote the following: Clement wrote only a little earlier than Ignatius and clearly didn’t share Ignatius’ ecclesiastical view.
The following exchange took place on a Roman Catholic list in 1997 over the course of a couple of weeks. As you will see at the end of this exchange, Mr. Mark Shea, author of By What Authority?, threatened legal action if I posted this material. However, in February of 2002, Mr. Shea himself posted an entire section of this

Over the past number of months we have received a number of requests for information concerning the claims of Mrs. Patty Bonds, my older sister.

10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man builds
On Thursday evening, January 3, 2002, James White was to engage in an in-channel debate with a Roman Catholic from Australia who went by the nick of “velleity.” Velleity had challenged James in the chat channel on December 30th. Here is the log of the challenge: <velleity> het NA27 how about you an me have a debate sometime in
From the Keyboard of James White…. Who could have imagined a year ago how different the world would be with the dawning of 2002! But while the world has changed, God’s truth has not, and so the work of apologetics continues on in the face of ever-expanding challenges. In most of our minds, 2001 was two years: pre-9/11 and post-9/11.
Dr. White explains how Dr. Hahn is an example of an apologist that is able to make an impressive presentation, yet at the same time has very problematic argumentation. Exegesis of the passage shows that the “once for all” of Hebrews 7:27 must be talking about the completed work of Christ that replaces repetitious sacrifices of priests, and can not be talking
In our constant attempt to meet the needs of the Christian community for sound theological material, we are making available this translation and commentary on the sixth chapter of John. Our reasons for doing so are to bring the powerful light of Scripture to bear upon two rather distinct issues. First, Jesus’ words in John 6 are vital for our
Is the teaching of the LDS Church today consistent with that of the early 1830’s? If the Mormon Church’s claim to be the “only true church on earth today” is to be believed, one would expect consistency in teaching from the beginning until today. However, based on the earliest works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (then
Chapter 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was Deity. This verse provides the framework not only for the prologue that encompasses verses one through eighteen, but for the entire Gospel itself. The prologue functions, I believe, as an “interpretive window” for the entire Gospel. John means us to read
(The following is “The Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy” taken from Inerrancy edited by Norman Geisler, Academie Books, 1980, pages 493-497.)

We deny that the Scriptures receive their authority from the Church, tradition, or any other human source. Article II We affirm
I remember passing notes with a friend of mine in high school. We were debating that age old doctrine of eternal security. He didn’t believe in it, and I did. A few months ago, while cleaning out one of those old drawers that you haven’t opened in about ten years, I found one of those notes. I had to chuckle

James observes that both the Catholic Karl Keating and the Protestant Dave Hunt reject the Reformed Doctrines of Grace with the same argumentation. He then demonstrates that Keating does not accurately represent Svensson’s argument, and also exaggerates the quality of the performance of Roman Catholics apologists in their debates with Protestants, and exaggerates their willingness to do more direct interaction.
Europe of 1516 presented quite a world of contrasts. Superstition still ruled many people’s minds, yet men of great scholarship and insight were to be found in every nation. Great political struggles were taking place, struggles which would soon give form and outline to the Europe of today. Nationalism was on the rise, and the papacy on the decline. Heretics
