Responding to Brian Brodersen and Chuck Smith

James White, February 9, 2010, The Dividing Line

Started off the program today talking about the upcoming debate with Robert Price, and requesting continued prayers that I would be given my visa to visit London in time for my flight a week from Thursday. I was going to fairly briefly respond to the comments by Brian Brodersen, Chuck Smith, and Don Stewart, but once I played all the

Today on the Dividing Line: Calvary Chapel Leadership Refers to Calvinism Again

James White, February 9, 2010, The Dividing Line

While I was flying to Atlanta on Thursday the hosts of the Pastor’s Perspective radio program, featuring Chuck Smith, received a phone call about election. One of the hosts mentioned yours truly by name, making reference to the following video posted in response to his claim that Calvinism is Christianity without Jesus. He attempts to elucidate his thoughts. Today on

Major Debate Announcement: Is the New Testament Historically Reliable? vs. Robert M. Price

James White, February 9, 2010, Christian Worldview

I will be debating Dr. Robert M. Price, a Jesus Seminar scholar and prolific author (see here for some of his books), at the CRI National Conference May 7th in Innisbrook, Florida. Hank Hanegraaff will moderate the debate. Those who have listened to my debate with John Dominic Crossan know how important this topic is. Dr. Price has expended great

Facts? Truth? Nah, We Want People!

James White, February 4, 2010, Islam

I feel badly today for those Islamic apologists I know who truly believe that Islam is true. I am not talking about the men like Nadir Ahmed, but the serious minded men I have met who really believe Islam is the religion of Allah. I would name some right now, but I do not want to get them in trouble.

Post-Mortem on Last Week’s Debates

James White, February 2, 2010, The Dividing Line

Started off with some of the very interesting comments made on the Catholic Answers Forums, and then moved to the specifics on the Staples debate, including reading the full context of both of the “Protestant” citations Staples offered. Looked at the broader issues of purgatory, and then moved on to some comments made by Dr. Brown on the issue of

On Next Tuesday’s DL

James White, January 30, 2010, Misc

Wow, what a week. I spoke 14 times over eight days, finishing up with a long period of teaching with Sam Shamoun on Islam at the First Arabic Baptist Church here in Phoenix today. A very enjoyable time! Next Tuesday on the DL I want to comment on last week’s debates. Michael Brown did a program on Calvinism the next

Seems the Followers of Catholic Answers Would Like More Debates

James White, January 30, 2010, Roman Catholicism

I mentioned yesterday my suggestion to Tim Staples that we do a similar type of fair debate and exchange on Catholic Answers Live. I said then that I would expect many in the CA audience would love to hear the “largest Catholic apologetics organization in the United States” actually doing direct, one-on-one apologetics with leading critics of their position. I

Purgatory: 1 Corinthians 3 and Tim Staples

James White, January 28, 2010, The Dividing Line

Don’t hold your breath for the invitation for me to be on Catholic Answers Live to discuss, oh, “Does John 6 Teach the Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Eucharist,” (I’d do it in a heartbeat), but today we had Tim Staples on the program for 90 minutes to debate 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 and the doctrine of purgatory. You are invited

Don’t forget to be with us live this afternoon at 3pm PST, 6pm EST, for the special 90-minute edition of the Dividing Line, featuring a live debate with Tim Staples of Catholic Answers on 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 and the doctrine of Purgatory. The format is as follows: 15 minute opening statements (Tim gets to go first) 8 minutes rebuttals 5

Debate Audio with Dr. Michael Brown

James White, January 27, 2010, Reformed Apologetics

I have been very busy since the end of the Michael Brown debate today, and in fact, have been working toward a possible major debate event that I really didn’t think was going to happen (can’t go into details yet), so I have not had a chance to do much else. I would like to thank Dr. Brown for a

Anthony Buzzard Listens In

James White, January 26, 2010, Misc

Evidently Anthony Buzzard was listening to my exchange with Michael Brown today, and, not surprisingly, being a Socinian, is far more in line with Arminian soteriology than Reformed. Here is a comment he left on Dr. Brown’s website: Dr. Brown, I think you should continue to press your point about the constant plea of God that we choose to do

It was my privilege to minister the Word of God yesterday, and we continued in our study of Hebrews. I, however, forgot to bring my video camera to the morning service, so, here is a still shot from the evening service along with the audio of the sermon. A truly challenging portion of Scripture.

Anthony Buzzard Debate on Unbelievable!

James White, January 22, 2010, Misc

Well, the Lord answered prayer and opened the way for an Unbelievable Radio Program debate with Sir Anthony Buzzard, formerly of Atlanta Bible College, one of the leading Socinians of our day. Justin Brierley just confirmed his willingness to do the debate on the 23rd of February while I am in London (in fact, Justin is attempting to arrange a

Letting the Word Speak: Justification

James White, January 22, 2010, Roman Catholicism

Tim Staples argues that the Bible presents justification as a “process.” But close and careful examination says otherwise.

Joseph Pipa, A Defense of the Deity of Christ

James White, January 21, 2010, The Dividing Line

Started off the program with an interview with Dr. Joseph Pipa of Greenville Presbyterian Seminary, and followed this with the beginning of an examination of the anti-Trinitarian claims of Anthony Buzzard.

Tim Staples on Calvinism

James White, January 19, 2010, The Dividing Line

TurretinFan joined me yesterday for an hour-long examination of Tim Staples’ attempt to undermine Reformed objections to purgatory, specifically, his lengthy attack on Calvin’s doctrine of God’s sovereignty and providence found in his 5-CD series, published by Catholic Answers, on purgatory. Though we had much more material we could have covered, we managed to get to the key errors in

Resources for London

James White, January 16, 2010, Resources

I just got word on a possible debate topic for Revelation TV, which would be really great. But more importantly, if the hoped for encounter with a particular anti-Trinitarian materializes, there are two resources on the ministry resource list that would be very useful in preparation for that encounter, as both focus upon the OT text as it existed in

Exciting Opportunities in London

James White, January 16, 2010, Personal

I haven’t been able to talk a lot about my trip in only a month to London, as we are still arranging things, but I’m getting really excited. We are trying to arrange *two* debate on Unbelievable, and one of them may be with an anti-Trinitarian I have wanted to engage for a long time. Another Islamic debate opportunity may

Thankful for My Mother

James White, January 15, 2010, Personal

There is no greater joy than to know the power of Christ’s resurrection in the face of death. The gospel of God’s free grace, which points us solely to Him and away from ourselves, gives great peace and comfort when loved ones who share the faith leave this life and enter into His presence. The Lord in His great grace

Apologies from Mill Valley

James White, January 14, 2010, Personal

I know I mentioned it on the last DL, but I should have blogged the fact that I am out of town this week, teaching at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary’s Mill Valley campus. Sorry if anyone tried to listen to the DL and found…well, nothing at all. Lord willing, we will be back on a regular schedule next week.

James White, January 8, 2010, Roman Catholicism

Steve Hays is driving his ’64 muscle car at the triad of Cross/Beckwith/Liccione at full speed, with all 8-cylinders guzzling gas so fast Al Gore is having a panic attack. A classic retort, and one that well needs to be said. As I said last night, the fact that these Roman apologists have made Rome’s magisterium the sole line of

Two Follow Ups on Thursday’s DL Discussion on the Authority of Scripture

James White, January 7, 2010, Misc

First, TurretinFan posted a fascinating quote from Erasmus that I had not seen before: What weight the authority of the church may have with others, I know not; but with me it weighs so much, that I could be of the opinion of the Arians and Pelagians, if the church had approved their doctrines. TurretinFan asks if Cross, Beckwith, and

Why I’m a Calvinist and He Isn’t!

James White, January 7, 2010, Reformed Apologetics

I will be joining Dr. Michael Brown live on his Line of Fire radio program January 26th and 27th to discuss Calvinism. Dr. Brown did a series a few months ago on why he is no longer a Calvinist, and he mentioned then that he wanted to do a debate on his program. After we do those programs we will
