Wow, old home week has begun! I just went down to have lunch with Mike O’Fallon and Bill Webster, and ended up running into c0ach, solaChristo, MarieP, Life, redgoatee, Dr. Renihan and his wife, Bill McKeever and his wife–we are taking over! My son has arrived, Steve Camp is on his way from the airport as I type this, and
I feel like a balding psychologist! But I can’t erally say that, since that would make Rich the equivalent of Roz…well, they do both start with an “R.” Anyway, things are moving fast here in Seattle. Lots of folks arriving, and that’s always exciting, seeing familiar faces, as well as new ones. Always encouraging as well. Preparations are on-going at
Just a quick note as I’m headed to Seattle. Really looking forward to meeting all of those who are coming for the conference and debate. I notice a few folks out there who are extremely excited and happy that when I quickly put together a response to Karl Keating on his ridiculous attack upon John MacArthur that twice I referred
For quite some time I have received Karl Keating’s e-letter. I guess it is easier than a blog (it is only once a week or so). Sometimes there are a few things that mildly interesting. He still takes shots at Bart Brewer every once in a while, though why he would do so is difficult to understand. In any case,
Just a few comments on the upcoming debate and then more from Dr. Davis on Calvinism. Here’s the program.
Man, today was rough. I won’t bore you with details. Let’s just say I hope the rest of the week before the debate goes better. The debate presentation is taking shape, and I’m truly excited about it. I have by necessity been privy to more of the arrangements for this year’s conference and debate and cruise than in past years,
Guest blogger Alan Kurschner developed the blog infection and succumbed. Here’s his new blog. No word on if a memorial service is planned. 
kta,omai is a Greek verb used seven times in the New Testament (101 times in the LXX). It is used mainly by Luke (five times), once by Paul, and once by Matthew, in Matthew 10:9. In that verse it is rendered “acquire”: “Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts.” This is part of Jesus’ instructions to the
This is, without a doubt, the funniest parody of the current state of certain corners of the apologetic blogosphere I’ve read. I really needed this. Thanks! Here’s the hoot.
Well, what did you expect? Mainly a discussion of the resurrection issue, prompted by an exchange between Wright and Borg on 1 Cor. 15:44. Here’s the program.
I just received my copy of the July, 2005 issue of the Reformed Baptist Theological Review (www.rbtr.org). I have a new article in this issue titled “Textual Criticism and the Ministry of Preaching” (3-26). Not too late to subscribe!
It came in the mail today. I almost didn’t bother looking at it. I mean, who knows better that Dave Hunt has no interest in speaking truthfully about Reformed theology than I do? I’m overwhelmed with preparations and details in reference to next week’s events, so why even bother looking at Hunt’s new little anti-Calvinism book, the one he did
Started off with some clips from the 1989 encounter I had with Robert Funk on a local radio station, and then moved over to Marcus Borg on “Bible and Tradition,” starting with a saying he repeats, “The Bible is true, and some of it happened.” Here’s the program.
As I work on preparation for our conference and debate next week, I cannot help but rejoice, repeatedly, in the wondrous glory of God’s Word. Over and over again, as it comes under the most close scrutiny and attack, it shows itself to stand far above its most voracious opponents. There truly is a confidence that comes from facing the
Back in 1999 (if my memory is serving me correctly) Mike O’Fallon contacted me and asked if I would speak at a conference at his church and then go on a 4-day, 3-night cruise thereafter. And so it started. Mike comments on how we started this aspect of the ministry. If you have followed the ministry of Dr. James White
Honestly. I posted three blog articles today. It is just that I scheduled them to appear during the cruise! A few folks have promised a few more “guest blogs” but we are really coming down to “crunch time” on the conference and cruise, so, things might get a tad thin around here for a while. Please don’t let the quiet
The entire program today was a review of comments made by Marcus Borg and NT Wright specifically about issues such as historicity, worldviews, Q, and the like. Here’s the program.
Oddly enough, it was found right where…John said it was. How can that be, since John is not historical? Oh sorry, been reading too much Jesus Seminar stuff lately. Here’s the story. (Hat tip RW)
One of my favorite sound clips in our chat channel is from the popular TV show, “Frasier.” In his own inimitable fashion, Dr. Crane asks, “Tell me…what color is the sky in your world?” Such a quip indicates that the person to whom you are addressing those words seems to live…elsewhere, disconnected from reality, in a fantasy world. I
Well, this one will go down in the archives, that’s for sure. I know many of my readers have turned the Sippo materials “off” over time, mainly because his bombastic, insulting diatribes are simply not enjoyable to read. But if you have, turn the switch back on for just a moment, long enough to digest just a tiny little sampling
I’m very sorry, but the Real Audio server is down, and the only man on earth who can get it back up is not available. I’ve done “dead” shows before that we then just archived, but it is very hard to do without interaction, etc. So, till we get the server back up, I guess it will be Thursday for
Back from ministering in Georgia this weekend. Had a wonderful time with the elders and people of the Ephesus Progressive Primitive Baptist Church. They have a good bit of fun with their own name, actually, since “Progressive Primitive” sorta sounds like “tall short” or “fat skinny” or “happy sad” or some such pairing. But the folks were warm and encouraging
Ignorance may be bliss but wilfull misrepresentation is virtually orgasmic. White does not over document. He cobbles together misleading combinations of citations from popular Catholic religious works and pawns them off as Magisterial statements. He also is incapable of distinguishing the devotional from the doctrinal and what is permissible from what is defined Chruch teaching. And his presupposition
Bill Rutland has provided a “response” that is again instructive to examine, though briefly, as I have limited time before heading back to Phoenix in a matter of hours. I would like to address some of James’ comments on my comments. But, before I do, I would like to thank Pat for allowing James to post from this forum so
In the midst of the “bash White’s books without providing a single example that can stand examination” spate over at Envoy, Patty Patrick Bonds decided to chime in, to use her own words. She begins with a story she has told before–but without any meaningful context: I once asked James if he had ever, even for a moment, considered the
