The Qur’an in the Light of God-breathed Scripture: Surah 5:116

James White, February 7, 2005, Islam

Few conservative Christians have ever read the Qur’an, and as such, it remains a closed and mysterious book to them. But even if you have read it, it likewise remains a closed and mysterious book, for it is not written in such a fashion as to communicate with much clarity to the vast majority of the human race, and apart

Holding Replies–Before A Reply Could Be Offered

James White, February 5, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Greetings from North Carolina. Spoke for Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Rocky Mount this afternoon, and will speak there again tomorrow before doing a video interview Monday morning and then flying back to Phoenix (Deo volente). Just a note in reference to the series I have just begun regarding Romans 9, “Hebraisms,” and J.P. Holding’s take on election. I was

Holding Onto Hebraisms: James Patrick Holding’s Odd Take on Election and Exegesis (Part 2)

James White, February 5, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

It is necessary for those who wish to find a way out of the “strong doctrine” of Romans 9 to establish some kind of “new idea” as to what Paul is really up to in this passage that distances the text from personal salvation. Make it about nations. Make it about the Old Testament only. Say it has to do

To Everyone in the North Carolina Area

James White, February 4, 2005, Misc

Since nobody reads the calendar page, I thought I’d mention this: February 5-6 Grace Reformed Baptist Church Rocky Mount, North Carolina Click the link for details and times, etc. I’m looking forward to visiting with cds and family, and seeing jM and red as well. So if you are in the area, I hope to see you this weekend at

Today on the Dividing Line: Open Phones

James White, February 3, 2005, The Dividing Line

Today we had calls on the will, Bible translations, and Lutheranism. Much calmer than the last program.

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#13)

James White, February 3, 2005, Islam

Bentley (as quoted by our Islamic writers) writes, What really outraged men like Dean Burgon was principally that, however learnedly Codex Sinaiticus was edited, it revealed a text of the Bible that again and again differed from what they had revered and loved as Holy Writ. Take, for example, the Lord’s Prayer. Generations of Englishmen had been accustomed to the

Omar Bakri Muhammed on Jihad: Another “Must Read”

James White, February 2, 2005, Islam

Christianity Today has an important interview with this Islamic authority. It begins: Islam is the final revelation, therefore those believing in it submit to Allah—the only One worthy of obedience in every sphere of life. To understand 9/11, we must go back to Tawhid— the exclusive worship of God in every sphere—religious, political, social, etc. Every human action must relate

To Dave Hunt: The Bereans Called. They Want Their Name Back

James White, February 2, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

It started December 12th, with the following entry on this blog: There are no footnotes attached. No names given. But a paragraph has been added into the middle of Dave Hunt’s desperate attempt to escape Acts 13:48 that, when you consider what it says, is one of the most amazing examples of “destroy the foundations of your entire life’s work

Holding Onto Hebraisms: James Patrick Holding’s Odd Take on Election and Exegesis (Part 1)

James White, February 1, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

I have found the various attempts to respond to the exegetically-based defense of Calvinism I offered in The Potter’s Freedom both educational and at times troubling. Most responses are tradition driven, but then there are the philosophical ones. These are the ones that only touch on exegesis long enough to find some way of introducing some novelty or some question

John 6:44-45

James White, January 31, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Exegesis versus “a word from the Lord.” That’s what I ran into today at the end of my hour long discussion with Chuck Crismier on his Viewpoint program. Here is the program link. Right at the end Chuck got in the “last word” so to speak, claiming that he had “asked the Lord” about John 6 and had been directed,

An Absolute Must Read

James White, January 31, 2005, Islam

This article from the New York Sun reminds us of how much we take the freedom to speak the truth about Islam for granted, and how these Muslims hate the gospel of Jesus Christ with a passion most do not begin to understand. The image to the right is part of one of the banners on this website. Note the

Today on Viewpoint with Chuck Crismier: Perseverance of the Saints

James White, January 31, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Just a reminder that I will be back on Chuck Crismier’s Viewpoint program today, 4pm EST. You may recall when I was on back in early December with Dave Hunt. You can still listen to that program, or save it to your system. This is a follow-up with Mr. Crismier himself on the topic of the perseverance of the saints.

The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part III)

James White, January 31, 2005, Roman Catholicism

We continue reviewing Dave Armstrong’s comments on Matthew 23. He continues with a citation from my book, The Roman Catholic Controversy, p. 101, on p. 47 of The Catholic Verses. However, he does not provide some key elements of the material he is citing, so I will provide the paragraph, but will bold what was skipped, or not included, in

For the Palm Geeks Out There

James White, January 29, 2005, Technology

So you all know I use a Palm Tungsten T3. I carry Bible translations, Greek and Hebrew texts, the text for almost all of my books, and lots and lots of resources in .pdf and Repligo formats. I use it as my calendar, my weather station, and yes, I have some really cool games just in case I am stuck

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#12)

James White, January 29, 2005, Islam

We continue with out response to Saifullah and Azmy on the subject of the transmission of the New Testament. It has been a while (15 days to be exact, my apologies) since our last installment. Our Islamic authors are providing a massive string of quotations from James Bentley’s 1986 work, Secrets of Mount Sinai: The Story of Finding the World’s Oldest

Doug Wilson absolutely nails the tactics of the post-modernist style apologists in this blog entry on his website.

Blog Addiction

James White, January 28, 2005, Blog Stuff

Man, when you feel guilty for not having a full new blog article up one day, you have become blog addicted. So, I confess to blog addiction. But I do believe the next six months will break me of my blog addiction. I’m putting together the stack of books I need to master, and to say it is an impressive

And So the Big Announcement Has Been Made

James White, January 27, 2005, The Dividing Line

Thanks for letting us have a little fun with making this announcement. It’s a big one, so we thought it would be neat to get some speculation going. As you know, we announced that John Dominic Crossan will be my debate opponent in Seattle on the 27th of August as part of our Second National Conference. Here are the details.

The Small World of Reformed Apologetics: aka, “I’m standing in the bookstore….”

James White, January 27, 2005, Misc

This is probably one of the strangest stories we’ve heard in channel of late, but also a very encouraging one. One of our semi-regular participants in channel, thisbox71, had quite the experience today. He was at at Border’s bookstore in a city that I will simply say is in a rather large state. Very large. Humungous. So, anyway, thisbox71 sees

1st Annual Evangelical Blog Awards

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

crewbear (one of our channel regulars) posted this link in channel just now. There is a category for “Best Evangelical Blog-Apologetics.” So I think to myself, “Hey, we invest a lot of effort here, and to be honest, do some pretty unique stuff, so, why not throw our hat in the ring? So, if you think this blog worthy of

We started out announcing that tomorrow on the Dividing Line Mike O’Fallon is going to join me to make a massive, huge, uber-sized ANNOUNCEMENT that will thrill, shock, and amaze you all, and force every single one of you who has been sitting on the fence to get OFF the fence and head to Seattle in August for our National

Firing Up the GPS

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

Aren’t GPS devices fascinating? I’ve got a mondo cheapie version, nothing fancy, but it is still amazing how accurate it is. Just the idea of somehow being in “contact” with satellites circling the earth is enough to thrill my inner geek. Why mention this? Well, this little post is sorta like firing up the GPS and getting a “fix” on

A Great Time in LaLa Land

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

Just a quick note on my trip over to Los Angeles and my time with the folks at Hope Chapel and Stand to Reason. I had a great time and we had a real nice group of folks show up for my presentation on the sufficiency of Scripture. I was a little surprised I was the first person to use

David Cloud Tries to Save Face

James White, January 25, 2005, King James Onlyism

After a while it just gets embarrassing. David Cloud is a fellow I had commended for having the guts to stand up and criticize Gail Riplinger, bringing her wrath upon him many years ago. But since he has joined the anti-Calvinism sniping brigade he has shown himself just as willing to engage in the most egregious forms of false argumentation

The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part II)

James White, January 24, 2005, Roman Catholicism

In the previous installment of this series I provided an introduction and the comments I made in The Roman Catholic Controversy regarding the use of Matthew 23:1-3 by Roman Catholic apologists. Let’s make sure we understand what is required of the Roman Catholic apologist in order to substantiate their claims. First, there needs to be an identifiable oral tradition regarding
