They Knew Me Too Well!

James White, April 15, 2004, Misc

Well, it shouldn’t shock anyone that the folks in #prosapologian correctly guessed my eschatological viewpoint! And before you hit the “send” button, please realize I have informed our volunteers to delete, trash, and otherwise ignore any e-mails wanting to debate eschatology. That I still do not do. There are plenty of places on the web where you can find any

Dave Armstrong’s Sense of Humor

James White, April 15, 2004, Roman Catholicism

I’ve taken a great deal of heat for having *any* humor on this blog, and especially for the cartoons Angel was so kind to provide. No matter how accurate his commentary, or how perfectly on-target the satire, there are some who just don’t believe there is any room at all for the use of sarcasm, satire, or humor in apologetics.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!

James White, April 14, 2004, The Dividing Line

Yes, after many, many years of avoiding the “eschatology” question, I will finally “take a stand” tomorrow on the DL and “make it official.” In fact, we have been taking a poll in #prosapologian all day long, and as of this evening, the folks who know me best have placed their “bets” and have concluded: Amillennial: 59% Historic Pre-Millennial 33%

From the Mailbox

James White, April 12, 2004, Mail Bag

I rarely talk much about the correspondence we get (partly because, obviously, I only see a small portion of it). But I thought today I’d share some of what Rich Pierce plopped on my desk this morning. MR from Lexington, KY wrote, in part: I languished in the church for a few years….Well I left about

More from the Mailbox

James White, April 12, 2004, Mail Bag

Another brother wrote and began his letter, “You have done all former students of Dr. Norman Geisler a great service in your very helpful book The Potter’s Freedom. I am one of those former students and I don’t know how many of us you have heard from, but I just had to write to say, “Thank you.” I am grateful

God’s Promises Are Firm

James White, April 11, 2004, Personal

This evening I preached at PRBC from Acts 2. When I finished, I then had a privilege that only a few fathers have in this life: I baptized my daughter upon her profession of faith. I baptized my son last summer. Both of my children have now professed faith in our Lord and Savior, and I have had the inestimable

DL Half an Hour Early Today

James White, April 8, 2004, The Dividing Line

The DL will be live today at 3:30PM MST, half an hour early due to the need to drive across the Valley (and this is a big valley!) to minister at the LDS Easter Pageant in Mesa. Sorry I did not post this earlier, but I have not had access to the computer until now. We will report on the

Quick Pageant Update

James White, April 8, 2004, Mormonism

As many of you who listen to the Dividing Line know, we were very concerned that our outreach at the Mesa Easter Pageant would be ended by the arrival of KJV Only street preachers, some of whom have become regulars in Salt Lake City at the General Conference. Well, it has been a pleasant surprise. We still firmly believe signs

Daniel Peterson: Lion Behind the Keyboard

James White, April 7, 2004, Mormonism

He claimed, with much bravado, that he would debate me “anytime, anyplace” on a radio program in California. He has yet to back up his words, of course, though he has often been given the opportunity. Today Dr. Peterson, in his customary fashion, is alleging dishonesty in how we have attempted, vainly, to get Dr. Hamblin to engage the issues

Let the Record Be Known

James White, April 6, 2004, Mormonism

No matter how hard you try to cross your t’s and dot your i’s, if someone wants to muddy the waters, they can find a way to do it. And so it is yet again. Below you will find all the correspondence that went back and forth between myself and Dr. Hamblin since he contacted me on March 17th as

Dr. Hamblin Declines Internet Debate

James White, April 6, 2004, Mormonism

Despite Dr. Hamblin’s constant reiteration of his desire to debate the topic of temples on the Internet, when I responded to his very first counter-proposal, accepting all his conditions, but not yet arriving at an acceptable thesis statement, he ended the negotiations and said he was not interested. Hence, our challenge to debate publicly before cameras, in written form in

Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts Needs Your Assistance

James White, April 5, 2004, Misc

Just got a letter about an incredible opportunity the CSNTM has to greatly advance our knowledge of ancient Greek manuscripts relating to the Old and New Testaments. They need another $6k to make their goal. This work is vital, so consider helping them. Visit their site and see the donations page. For those interested: interaction with TGE. I would direct

And I Thought Utah Would Be A Rest!

James White, April 4, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

Just back from Utah! I’ll be reporting on our two debates on The Dividing Line Tuesday, so make sure to listen in. Briefly, both debates went very well. We did not get much cooperation from the UofU as far as the venue was concerned, but we persevered and made it work anyway. The video taping went very well, so keep

A Quick Refutation of Another Attempt to Get Around John 6

James White, April 4, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

A listener to the Dividing Line sent in a URL and asked me to respond to the presentation contained therein. The link is here. As the argumentation is sadly common, I hope others are benefited by the continued demonstration of the consistency of God’s Word over against the traditions of men. My replies are in bold purple and indented. John 6 is one

Debate: Are Temples Consistent with the New Testament? Richard Hopkins, Salt Lake City, Utah, 4/2/2004

James White, April 4, 2004, Debate, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

James White debates Richard Hopkins on the history and biblical nature of constructing and need for Temples in the New Testament. Given the LDS emphasis on temple work this is a very important subject for reaching LDS people.

Regarding an Internet Debate on Temples with Dr. Hamblin

James White, April 3, 2004, Mormonism

A few weeks ago Dr. William Hamblin, associate professor of history at Brigham Young University, declined the invitation offered to him to debate the thesis, “The Building of Temples is Consistent with New Testament Christianity” in a public setting before video cameras. Shortly thereafter a discussion occurred, referenced on this blog, regarding debates, etc. On April 2, 2004, I debated

Heading to Salt Lake

James White, April 1, 2004, Mormonism

That normally means I’m headed into unfriendly territory, but given the current bombardment at home, I think I will enjoy the time away…. Friday night the debate on the issue of temples with a Mormon representative at the University of Utah, Saturday night a debate on homosexual marriage, same venue. DL this afternoon/evening: your calls, some comments on TGE, Dave

The WatchTower on God’s Selective Omniscience

James White, April 1, 2004, Jehovah's Witnesses

The view that God’s exercise of his foreknowledge is infinite and that he does foreordain the course and destiny of all individuals is known as predestinarianism. Its advocates reason that God’s divinity and perfection require that he be omniscient (all-knowing), not only respecting the past and present, but also regarding the future. For him not to foreknow all matters in

SOME (good grief!) Progressive Dispensationalists Reply

James White, March 31, 2004, Exegesis

On 3/26 I posted a response to an article on John 6. The authors have replied, in a sense, here. I say in a sense because in essence the entire reply is a defense of using their unique dispensational construct to avoid the grammatical and syntactical problems with their interpretation. Evidently, they believe their over-all system trumps the details of

Bob Ross on the Warpath [Updated]

James White, March 31, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

I do not recall ever having mentioned Bob Ross in anything I have ever written, nor in any of my public talks or sermons. Despite this, for some reason, Mr. Ross has decided to engage in a crusade to warn “true Calvinists” that I am not really a Calvinist. I assume this is because of my recent book with Dave

Thanks, Brian, Whoever You Are

James White, March 30, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

I was just catching up on comments left by Mr. Enloe in response to my blog (comments that do not use names, but refer to me anyway, as if that somehow allows him to fulfill his commitment to not address me, while accusing me of every kind of sin under the sun anyway….wait, you aren’t supposed to do that, are

Blog Implosion

James White, March 30, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

There’s no reason to even comment. All possibility of rational dialogue with Mr. Enloe has obviously ended. If you are a glutton for punishment, or for some reason need a sober warning about the dangers of losing balance, see his blog, scroll first to the article from 3/29/04 titled “Reformation Liberty” (the article is a long mockery of myself and
