Pre-Conversion Newman on Rome’s Handling of Patristic Writings

James White, July 11, 2009, Roman Catholicism

David King just posted this in our chat channel, and it is so utterly spot-on that I wanted to share it. Before Newman became a Roman Catholic, he very rightly recognized Rome’s modus operandi in talking about the early writers of the church. When you provide specific citations that contradict their position, they see them as “individuals.” Yet, they constantly

This is NOT What I Would Have Said Had I Spoken at ISNA

James White, July 10, 2009, Islam

(For those not familiar with the acronym, ISNA is the Islamic Society of North America. Rick Warren was invited to address ISNA last week).

Mark Shea Acts…Predictably (Update)

James White, July 10, 2009, Roman Catholicism

On July 2nd I posted a 3,330 word article relating to particular claims made by Roman Catholic writer Mark Shea in his three-volume set on Mary. I invested a fair amount of time examining Shea’s claims relating to an important topic, one related to Shea’s own criticism of one of my claims. I provided evidence of error on Shea’s part,

Yes, Yes, I Know it is July 10th

James White, July 10, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

And I have nothing against thanking God today for faithful men of the past. But to be honest, I’m sort of glad Calvin asked to be buried in an unmarked grave. I’m a bit concerned about what would be going on there if he hadn’t. There is everything fine and good with celebrating God’s goodness to His church in Calvin

“Apostle Troy” Condemns Me to the Flames

James White, July 10, 2009, Simply Silly

The far edge of anti-Reformed rhetoric can get a bit loopy at times. I have now been promoted to “the Leader of Calvinism” by “Apostle Troy Brooks.” I’d embed an mp3 of the Twilight Zone theme here, but that would be tacky. Why James White, the Leader of Calvinism, is Going to Hell

Matthew Bellisario and the Papacy

James White, July 9, 2009, The Dividing Line

Devoted the entire hour to a very useful, controlled, focused discussion of Matthew 16:18-19 and the Papacy with Matthew Bellisario today. I hope you enjoy the exchange!

Look Who Came to my NT Reliability Seminar

James White, July 9, 2009, Textual Issues

It was Saturday evening–I think. I was running on reserve batteries, having done the Shamsi Ali debate, spoken earlier that day across Long Island, and was now way out on the Eastern part of the island. A small group gathered at the church to hear my presentation on the reliability of the New Testament. I will admit, I was a

Daniel C. Peterson of BYU on YouTube

James White, July 8, 2009, Mormonism

I just had this series of, well, non-videos by the folks over at “FAIR” (one of the least accurately named groups out there) pointed out to me on YouTube. We have made this radio program available for years. In any case, I find it odd that they would post this, given that Peterson, in particular, has declined every debate challenge

A Hadith to Ponder

James White, July 8, 2009, Islam

One is left to wonder how many of the rest of Muhammad’s actions were, like this one, unworthy of emulation? Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5830, (#1099 in Al-Alim 6.0): Musa b. Talha reported: I and Allah’s Messenger happened to pass by people near the date-palm trees. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What are these people doing? They said: They

Possible Papacy Discussion on the DL Tomorrow

James White, July 8, 2009, The Dividing Line

I have been informed that Matthew Bellisario will be calling the DL tomorrow to take me up on my challenge to actually address arguments I have made against Roman Catholicism in debate and published works (rather than attempting to twist comments about the mindset of post-World War II New Testament scholarship into arguments against Rome). Maybe something useful can come

Gail Riplinger: Just a Bit Afraid?

James White, July 8, 2009, King James Onlyism

A few days ago I put Gail Riplinger’s new book on the Ministry Resource List. It is not that I take her writing seriously–no one possibly could–but people ask questions, and this topic looked like it might possibly produce more basic errors of fact than even New Age Bible Versions. So, one of our supporters attempted to purchase the book

Radio Free Geneva

James White, July 7, 2009, The Dividing Line

After listening to Tony Campolo talking about John Calvin, and then watching Troy Brooks ramble on about how Sproul, Piper, Calvin, Luther, and I are all headed to hell, I decided it was time to break out the Radio Free Geneva theme. I played some parts of Troy Brooks’ rambling diatribes, then gave a summary of the content of the

Rachel Barkey Enters into the Joy of Her Lord

James White, July 7, 2009, Godly Disciplines

Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer. There are so many worthless things that take up our days. Put some of them aside

We have just placed the MP4 video recording of the debate at the University of Illinois here.

My Challenge to Matthew Bellisario: How About Dealing with the Actual Arguments I’ve Presented?

James White, July 4, 2009, The Dividing Line

Note: for some reason, the audio did not record properly on the video feed, so I had to paste the audio in, and it did not sync up perfectly.

I Have Joined…The Dark Side….

James White, July 4, 2009, Misc

No, no, I’m not watching the entire Star Wars series again on Spike this week (OK, well, I did see some of it, as there still is nothing as cool as Yoda with a light saber), I am talking about…can I get it out…Twitter. Yes, Twitter. No, I haven’t lost my mind. But I think I may have found a

Jerusalem Jones Update

James White, July 2, 2009, The Dividing Line

Started off today with a Jerusalem Jones Update, documenting that Steve Ray can’t represent his former faith very well, nor can he understand the Greek text of the New Testament, either (and Marcus Grodi didn’t catch his error). Then Matthew Bellisario called in and wanted to argue about how many “practicing” Catholics were Nazi death camp guards. When I asked

Mark Shea and the Desperate Defense of Marian Mythology

James White, July 2, 2009, Roman Catholicism

I just received my set of Mark Shea’s three volume set, Mary, Mother of the Son. I began looking through it a bit Tuesday evening, and noticed no personal references in the indexes. But, as I looked at his attempt to force Revelation 12 into one of the few supports for the edifice of Marian theology I noted that either

Imam Shamsi Ali’s Rebuttal and First Audience Questions

James White, July 1, 2009, Islam

My video files from my little Casio camera (yep, all of this has simply been from my little Casio…I have no idea when the professional footage will be available) were divided into three parts. I’ve posted the first, and the last, so…here’s the middle!

Shamsi Ali Debate

James White, June 30, 2009, The Dividing Line

Today we had a number of calls on a wide variety of subjects, but mainly on the Shamsi Ali debate last Thursday evening. I played some material from the debate, and I also played some clips from the Q&A at the Sovereignty of God Conference.

Yes, We Will Be Doing the DL Tomorrow!

James White, June 29, 2009, Misc

I can’t guarantee much insight on my part, but, I am home, so, we will be doing the DL at the regular time in the morning. I had a fairly uneventful trip home, and am tremendously thankful to all the pastors and churches in New Jersey and Long Island that made the past ten days so special.

Debate Report on Iron Sharpens Iron Today!

James White, June 26, 2009, Misc

I will be live in studio today with Chris Arnzen to discuss last night’s debate with Imam Shamsi Ali. I can call it a debate (it was always a debate to begin with) since that is what Imam Ali called it! In any case, lots of interesting things to go over. Click here to listen live at 3pm EDT. I

Video Presentation of Opening Statement

James White, June 25, 2009, Islam

Here is a small video version of my opening statement. By using the pause button you should be able to follow my opening statement pretty easily. I hope this is useful to those listening live (or, I would guess, for those who listen later as well!).

Mark Shea’s Marian Series

James White, June 25, 2009, Roman Catholicism

I have added Mark Shea’s Marian series to the Ministry Resource List. I would dearly love to see some of the major Roman Catholic apologists come out of hiding, in essence, and engage in a robust debate on the claims Rome makes about Mary, but the past five years have shown a Roman Catholic apologetics community in disarray and retreat.

Live Webcasting of the Muslim/Christian Dialogue Tonight!

James White, June 25, 2009, Islam

Well, it is time to try out that new little PC. TQuid will be helping to monitor the unit for me, so if we have a break in the stream he should be able to get it back up (a luxury I won’t always have in all my debates). Click here to get to the webcast page, then use the

Preparations on Long Island

James White, June 24, 2009, Personal

Just a quick note. I spoke on “The Future of Calvinism in America” this morning at the Sovereignty of God Conference at the Bread of Life Fellowship Church in Haledon, New Jersey. I would like to thank Pastor Joe LoSardo and the elders there for holding the conference. It is always a huge task to put something like that on!
