The Sovereignty of God

James White, December 26, 1998, The Dividing Line

How much control does God really have over His creation? The issue of Theodicy seems to haunt the church as a whole as it struggles with difficult passages in scripture that cause us confusion over what we believe about God’s hand in this world and how he uses ‘means’ for his glory. Too often God is viewed as some sort

Sola Scriptura: God Breathed?

James White, December 19, 1998, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line

The Early Church Fathers and Sola Scriptura

James White, December 12, 1998, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line

Of Doctorates and Eternity (Prequel)

James White, December 8, 1998, Mormonism, Theology Matters

A number of months ago I posted on this web site a brief article discussing Christian education, doctoral studies, accreditation, and various other issues. That article is available through a link at the bottom of this page. Since various folks opposed to our work, and specifically antagonistic toward me personally, are using the wonderful resource of the Internet to make

Of Gary Novak and the Columbia River

James White, December 8, 1998, Mormonism, Theology Matters

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the more fair you are in your criticisms of a false religion, the more strident will be the response. That does not sound logical, does it? Normally, you would think that if I were to engage in hysterical ranting and raving in criticizing such a group, that would increase the

Dan Corner, Evangelical Outreach, and Debates

James White, December 5, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

Sola Scriptura or Sola Ecclesia?

James White, November 28, 1998, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

No, I am not Your Brother, but a Little Honesty Would be Nice Anyway – A Brief Reply to D.L. Barksdale

James White, July 1, 1998, Mormonism

It doesn’t start well: “What’s with Anti-Mormons these days? It seems like someone has turned up the heat a couple of notches. Either that, or they are getting increasingly desperate. Or both, I guess.” Unfortunately, it only goes downhill from there. Ever since Is the Mormon My Brother? was released by Bethany House Publishers in November of 1997, I have

Of Doctorates and Eternity

James White, June 1, 1998, Theology Matters

Priorities. Standards. What is important to us? Where do our priorities lie? In our world today, these are questions often answered solely on the basis of such things as financial considerations or the world’s standards of “success.” Christians know that the Bible is plain in telling us that we are to do all things to the glory of God (1

Doctrines Lead to Biblical Theology – A Response To Dr. Estep

James White, May 8, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

The March 26, 1997 issue of The Baptist Standard contains an article titled, “Doctrines Lead to ‘Dunghill’ Prof Warns” (p. 12). The article is a blatant condemnation of the Reformed, or Calvinistic viewpoint on salvation. Dr. Estep laments the current growth in a Calvinistic viewpoint among Southern Baptists, a growth that I have personally done everything in my power to

Was Anyone Saved at the Cross?

James White, May 8, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

We say Christ so died that he infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ’s death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved. —Charles Haddon Spurgeon There was a time when I called myself a “four-point

James White, May 8, 1998, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Roman Catholicism

My third annual pilgrimage to Long Island was by far the busiest yet. This year was centered on a debate against Jesuit scholar and priest, Mitchell Pacwa. For pictures of the debate, click here. But that was but one evening of thirteen. I began my work with Ed Moore of the North Shore Baptist Church. Last year I

The True Essence of Revival – by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

James White, May 8, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

Much is being said these days about “revival.” The world looks on in amazement as people are “slain in the Spirit” and stuck to the floor with “Holy Ghost Glue.” Then again, I look on in amazement at such things, too. Is this what revival is supposed to be? During the last century Charles Haddon Spurgeon flourished as a minister

A Discussion of Psalm 82

A Brief Rebuttal of Baptismal Regeneration

James White, May 8, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed…but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” So wrote the Apostle Peter to the early Christians (1 Peter 1:18-19). He, as all the other Apostles, believed that we are redeemed, cleansed, forgiven, in the blood of

Miscellaneous Thoughts and Ramblings and Things Like That…

James White, April 29, 1998, Misc, Musings

Words of Wisdom from Charles Haddon Spurgeon: There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of God’s Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that Sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children ought more earnestly

Robert Sungenis and ἐπὶ ταύτῃ

James White, April 29, 1998, Roman Catholicism

The book, Jesus, Peter & the Keys, attempts to provide responses to some of the arguments that have been put forward against the unique, and sometimes very strained, exegetical claims of Rome. In particular, this book often cites Robert Sungenis, a Westminster Seminary graduate, as their primary source of Greek scholar. While we are unaware of any advanced study in the field

A Response to David Palm’s Article on Oral Tradition from This Rock Magazine, May, 1995

James White, April 29, 1998, Roman Catholicism

David Palm is a convert from evangelicalism to Roman Catholicism. Thankfully, he’s one of the few such converts who does not allow the emotions evoked by such a conversion to determine everything he says about his former faith. He presents cogent, meaningful arguments in defense of his new position, which makes his attempt to defend the Roman Catholic concept of
