Hey, It’s National Tartan Day!

James White, April 6, 2006, Personal

I had no idea! I’m so ashamed! A chance to wear one of my tartan ties and I missed it! Ach, the shame of it! I guess President Bush was informed of it (or some underling buried in the White House basement was), for he (or that underling) wrote, “Through hard work, firm values, and strong faith, Scottish Americans have

John Shelby Spong on Scholarship

James White, April 5, 2006, Christian Worldview

One of the issues that will take center stage in Orlando will be the nature of modern scholarship. As those of you know who have read The Same Sex Controversy, an entire body of “scholarship” has arisen over the past few decades in support of any number of competing (and often self-contradictory) theories regarding what the Bible “really teaches” about

Quick and Final Addendum

James White, April 5, 2006, Simply Silly

Despite the clarity of the documentation refuting him, Bob L. Ross continues to engage in the most desperate form of dishonesty even today: The fact remains, if John MacArthur held an erroneous view in the past, and if James White defended that view as “SOLID TEACHING,” then James White was defending an erroneous view — whether he in fact held

Bob Ross: Painter of Happy Little…Falsehoods

James White, April 4, 2006, Simply Silly

For years, if you wanted to read Spurgeon without worrying about who edited his sermons to “fit” their theology, you were dependent upon Bob Ross of Pilgrim Publications. No, this Bob Ross (it’s Bob L. Ross) knows nothing about happy little trees, and I have no idea if he can paint a pretty picture in less than thirty minutes or

On the DL Today

James White, April 4, 2006, The Dividing Line

Documented two major misrepresentations on Dave Hunt’s part, reproduced in Dr. Davis’ sermon, today on the DL, one from Calvin, one from Spurgeon. And, in reading the full context of both statements, important truths regarding assurance, the ground of faith, the ordo salutis, etc., were covered. Dave Hunt fans will not enjoy this one, nor will those who think you

“For the Sake of the…Uh…Err…Well…”

James White, April 3, 2006, Godly Disciplines

You won’t hear Dave Hunt preaching on this text anytime soon. Then again, even if he did, it would only involve its citation followed by, “But, of course, the Calvinists are wrong to cite this, because over here in Exodus we know…” and that would be the last you would hear of this text. In any case, its lack of

Yes, Like I Said…

James White, March 31, 2006, The Dividing Line

We managed to get our first Dividing Line off the ground today! And it worked! In fact, if we weren’t talking about the state of the studio, I don’t know anyone would have been able to tell we were flying on a wing and a prayer. Phones lit up and we had a great time. Talked about the upcoming Caner

Da Vinci Debunked in Tabletalk

James White, March 31, 2006, General Apologetics

This month’s Tabletalk magazine from Ligonier Ministries focuses on preparing believers to handle the release of The Da Vinci Code film this month. In order as they appear, the first feature article is by R.C. Sproul, “The Da Vinci Conspiracy.” Then my article appears, titled, “The Fool’s Folly Uncovered.” Then R. Albert Mohler Jr.’s article “Historical Propaganda,” followed by Peter

Apologies, but…Let’s Go For Friday!

James White, March 29, 2006, The Dividing Line

OK, while this will give Rich a little more time, the main reason we are looking at Friday is simple: I’m sick. Bad sick. Lay in bed and do nothing but feel horrible sick. Now, waiting till Friday hopefully means I’ll be better, but, there’s a down-side as well: this stuff is passed through the air, so…I’m concerned Rich may

Tom Ascol on the Lynchburg Debate

James White, March 29, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

Tom Ascol has shared his thoughts here. When the Caners asked to make this a two-on-two debate (I prefer a single debate myself, honestly, as it is easier for the audience to follow) the first person I thought of was of course Tom Ascol. Even more so since the issue of Baptist history had been mentioned, and I know Tom

Revelation 5 Revisited

James White, March 29, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

“Amazing” is the term that crosses my mind as I survey some of the articles I’ve seen appear in response to my posting of…a single paragraph regarding a memorization verse a week ago. First, amazing that so many people read this blog (many thanks!). But more amazing is the kinds of replies that have been offered to a single paragraph

A debate on Calvinism, featuring: Speaking against “Calvinism” will be the Dean of Liberty Theological Seminary, Dr. Ergun Ehmet Caner.

A Reminder to Dave Hunt Fans: Check Your Sources

James White, March 27, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

John Samson just sent me this article and I thought I would post it as another reminder to those who would follow Dave Hunt’s errors without checking your citations. Every time you hear someone say, “Even Spurgeon denied limited atonement,” kindly pull them aside and say, “You know, you might want to read Spurgeon’s sermons promoting limited atonement before repeating

Dr. Stauffer: Brave Behind the Keyboard, Unwilling to Defend His Assertions

James White, March 25, 2006, King James Onlyism

Well, I’ve given him more than enough time. I know he has received my e-mails. He simply will not respond. Though I have asked him to back up his strong statements, Dr. Douglas Stauffer, author of One Book Stands Alone, will not do so. Though he has stooped to unsubstantiated, false ad-hominem, he will not so much as respond to

Greetings From Our New Offices!

James White, March 25, 2006, Misc

Greetings! I am writing this from my new office…a first! It is a total disaster here, of course, as all offices are as you are dragging in boxes, putting up blinds, running wires, etc. But at least I have connectivity to the net and power to the computer! First things first they say. Only time to say hello and get

Pray for Us

James White, March 23, 2006, Personal

Well, it is starting. Rich has been working long, long days for weeks now, mainly doing carpentry work, but also being electrician, painter—you name it. The offices are looking great, but we are finally at that point where we must need to make the leap. That is, starting tomorrow, we have to get all the computer equipment down there and

UPDATE: Here’s the program. SECOND UPDATE: Tony Bryne contacted me and very kindly apologized for the comments I had found offensive, so I have removed this article (though there isn’t much I can do about the DL!). I appreciate Mr. Bryne’s response and am encouraged as a result of this.

Exegesis, or Eisegesis, of Revelation 5:9-10?

James White, March 23, 2006, Mail Bag

This morning I posted another memory verse and made some brief comments about Revelation 5:9-10 and its witness to the perfection of the atoning work of Christ in behalf of His people. Fairly quickly the following was sent through the website: Good piece of eisegesis James! Results of the Atonement Seen? Results, yes. The full extent of “how”, NO. The

Waiting to Hear From Dr. Stauffer

James White, March 22, 2006, King James Onlyism

I’ve written to Dr. Stauffer and asked him to stand behind his published statements. I’ve invited him to join me on the DL, and inquired about his willingness to publicly debate the issues. Though a number of days have passed, he has so far declined even replying to my e-mails. I’m wondering if he will end up like D.A. Waite,

Today on the DL: S.M. Davis’ Sermon, Finally

James White, March 21, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

I listened to both of Dr. Davis’ anti-Calvinism sermons today on my ride (they were worse than I remembered) and since a month from today I am debating an attorney who is a member of his church on this same topic, I would like to go through the sermon and highlight all the straw-man arguments, etc. I will let my

I received my full-color brochure for the 2006 School of Theology at the Metropolitan Tabernacle this July. This link isn’t as colorful, but it has the same information.

On Painting with Broad Brushes

James White, March 20, 2006, King James Onlyism

A lot of you were a bit shocked at the vitriol expressed by Mr. Dries a few days ago. Believe me, in the years since I wrote The King James Only Controversy I’ve seen it all before. “You God-hater! You Bible-hater! You are trying to destroy people’s faith!” etc. and etc. Emotionalism is an ever-present part of dedication to that

What I Believe About Regeneration

James White, March 18, 2006, Reformed Baptist Issues

1. Those whom God hath predestinated unto life, he is pleased in his appointed, and accepted time, effectually to call, by his Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God; taking away
