Yes, Fitness Counts

James White, September 16, 2000, Personal

No, I’m not a fitness guru. But I do know that when I am in shape, I write better, teach better, preach better, research better. I wasted all of my 20’s. I never worked out. I fell apart. By 1993 I weighed over 200 lbs. and was in horrible shape. That’s when I chose to get in shape, and began cycling. I quickly

Response to Southwestern on King James Controversy, Part 5 (Letus / Riplinger)

James White, September 9, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

This episode includes a fascinating Southwestern clip from Gail Riplinger, who attempted a mystical connection between the Titanic, Satan, and modern Bible translations, as well as arguing for the superiority of the KJV on the basis of the feelings elicited by the sounds of its words. Ironically, Dr. Letus rejects Riplinger, but fails to mention this to the interviewer that

Response to Southwestern on King James Controversy, Part 4 (Waite / Letus)

James White, September 2, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

This show finished review the episodes of Dr. Waite and started covering those interviewing Dr. Letis – two men with contradictory views arguing against the same book by Dr. White. Dr. Waite makes a strained effort to make Erasmus appear Protestant instead of Catholic, and Dr. Letus describes Dr. White as being unqualified (apparent based on a hunch). Letus neglected

What Do Some Roman Catholic and Mormon Apologists Have in Common?

James White, September 1, 2000, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism

Oh, the e-mail I get! If I took the time to actually look at all the URL’s sent my direction, I’d never do anything else. The Internet has changed the face of apologetics in general, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Over the past few weeks I’ve gotten some real nuclear bombs from folks. I addressed some of

F.A.R.M.S. Strikes Again

James White, August 30, 2000, Mormonism

The evidence continues to pile in. We began exposing the double-standards and downright childish behavior of the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (F.A.R.M.S.), now based out of Brigham Young University, many years ago when they first wrote a review of my book, Letters to a Mormon Elder in 1993 (click here for that first response). In that instance,

Response to Southwest Radio Church on King James Controversy, Part 3 (Dr. Waite)

James White, August 26, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

Dr White continues to respond to SRC’s review of his book that did not seem represent or respond to the contents of the book, and correct misinformation about principles of textual criticism on the part of KJV Onlyists. They also rely on incredibly outdated information to defend the KJV Only view.

Response to Southwest Radio Church on King James Controversy, Part 2 (Dr. Waite)

James White, August 19, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

Since the claim was made on the radio that Dr. White was evasive during their 1996 debate, Dr. White played a clip from that debate in order to demonstrate that it was Waite who needed to avoid Dr. White’s questions. The show also applies some principles of sound textual criticism to this issue. A snail mail response from Southwest Bible

Response to Southwest Radio Church on King James Controversy, Part 1 (Dr. Waite)

James White, August 12, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

Since pastor Waite no longer seems open to direct dialogue, yet has discussed about Dr. White on this recent radio broadcast, Dr. White gives a live response to the words of that King James Onlyist, highlighting misrepresentation, misunderstanding, and circular reasoning on pastor Waite’s part. Caller asks how a layman can deal with translation issues without knowing Biblical languages.

Response to Dave Hunt Article on Calvinism

James White, August 5, 2000, The Dividing Line

While some of Dave Hunt’s apologetics work makes good points, on this issue he agrees with Rome, and follows Norman Geisler on rebranding synergism as a soteriological middle path. Its attack on Irresistible Grace does not deal with a typical representation of Reformed theology, but takes some biblical passages out of context.

Answering the Muslim Challenge to the Trinity

The Accuracy of the Scriptures: the Bible vs. the Qur’an

Conversation Stopping Verses and Identifying Eisegesis

James White, July 29, 2000, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White tells the story of encountering a Jehovah’s Witness that was deeply experienced at arguing against the deity of Christ, but was stumped by a simple question of soteriology. The show covers examples of groups that attempt to import false assumptions into a bible verse, including Roman Catholics and tradition, and LDS on baptism for the dead. A caller

Apologetics or Simple Childishness? You Decide

James White, July 23, 2000, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism

If I spent my days responding to everything that is written about me on a daily basis on the web, my wife would forget my name, and my children would think they were orphans. It is never ending. And I have learned that expecting serious, exegetically based, consistent replies to the refutation of the errors of Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, the

Further Review of Tim Staples Debate on Papal Infallibility (Prt 2)

James White, July 22, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

This was Dr. White’s first time giving live commentary on a previously recorded debate. This review covered the cross examination section of Dr. White’s recent debate with Tim Staples on papal infallibility. There is a stark contrast between Staples inability to follow debate protocol and White’s questions that put Staples in the hotseat.

Review of Tim Staples Debate on Papal Infallibility

James White, July 15, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White considered this to be his most abundantly clear debate victory of all. Besides the factual matters of the debate that the concept of Papal infallibility has no foundation, there were technical matters that Staples, along with his students in the audience, were unable to abide by proper debate protocol. Further, Staples seems to have been confused concerning the

Papal Infallibility (White vs Staples)

James White, July 7, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

James White shows Papal Infallibility to be nothing more than a convenient invention of Rome in this debate. He clearly demonstrates that Roman arguments for Infallibility can’t stand up to the test of history. Listen as an expert dismantles the Roman arguments piece by piece leaving his opponent with nothing more than empty rhetoric. Once again a predominantly Roman Catholic

Debate: Papal Infallibility, Tim Staples, Fullerton, California, 7/7/2000

James White, July 7, 2000, Debate, Roman Catholicism

Six and a half hours of intensive debate over the course of two evenings. That’s the privilege I had July 6-7, 2000. The first three hours had an audience of hundreds of thousands, as I was privileged to join Hank Hanegraaff at the headquarters of the Christian Research Institute in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, for the third “marathon” session of

Jesus Seminar Portrayed as “Biblical Scholarship” on Dateline

James White, July 1, 2000, The Dividing Line

Since the so-called journalism of network TV portrayed the materialist and naturalistic Jesus Seminary scholars as “biblical” scholarship, James White contextualizes their radical stance by reading Funk’s statement of faith with all its vitriol and hatred for every component of Orthodox faith. The charge to de-mythologize scholarship, not idolize it, which in this case uses circular reasoning.

The Roman Catholicism Debate on BAM (White vs Staples – I)

James White, July 1, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

This was the warm up to the Papal Infallibility debate. A lively discussion covering several different Catholic/Protestant topics. Interesting callers and input from Hank Hanagraaff.

A Date in Fullerton – by Kelli White

James White, July 1, 2000, Roman Catholicism

My name is Kelli White. You probably don’t know me but if you’re reading this you may know of or at least heard of my husband, James White. He is the Director of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, AZ. Some say he is a controversial man at times. Last week is one such example. On Thursday he was in

The Mass Card

James White, June 28, 2000, Roman Catholicism

The card came in a small, unobtrusive envelope with a San Diego return address on the back. It was sent to the ministry Post Office box, “Attn James White.” I opened it to find a card with a drawing of a Roman Catholic chalice and wafer on the front, and the title, “For Your Intentions.” I opened it to find

The Forgotten Trinity, the Deity of Christ, and Jehovah’s Witnesses

James White, June 24, 2000, The Dividing Line

The Christian should be passionate about the Trinity, as following Tota Scriptura will inevitablely lead to believing in the Trinity, one being of God in three persons. Most objections to the Trinity confound the categories of being and person, and Jehovah’s Witnesses have a deeply entrenched presupposition of Unitarianism that must ignore texts that demonstrate the deity of Christ.

The Potter’s Freedom

James White, June 21, 2000, Reformed Apologetics

This new work, a 340-page response to Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free, has been published by Calvary Press.

Review of Sungenis debate on Justification

James White, June 3, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White mentions that his article on Phillipians 2 was recently published in the CRI journal. He also responds to the first negative review of the new Potter’s Freedom book, and reviews his recent two debates against the Church of God and a Roman Catholic on Justification, whose arguments were similar to that of Dr. Geisler. Dr. White raised the

Ministry Update

James White, June 1, 2000, Misc

From the Keyboard of James White…. Things have certainly been busy for me over the past 12 months. I am still maintaining my workload of teaching, debating, writing, broadcasting, etc. And now with a new book and more to come, time seems very elusive. Speaking of new books, The Potter’s Freedom is now available and I am simply amazed at

Right Use of the Law in the Church (James 2 prt 2)

James White, May 27, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

James White calls in from the airport to report (20 minutes) in on his recent debate with a Roman Catholic and on the early reaction to his new book, Potter’s Freedom. Rich, Mike, and Simon take the opportunity to continue discussing James chapter 2. It does not negate salvation by faith alone, but they emphasize the necessity of a changed

Debate: Justification by Faith? Robert Sungenis, Long Island, New York, 5/25/2000

James White, May 25, 2000, Debate, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Is the Roman Catholic Church correct when she says that we can merit justification? Was the Council of Trent right after all? Can we lose our justification? Or is the Protestant Reformation correct in saying that a man is justified by faith alone, apart from works? Is Christ’s imputed righteousness enough to allow us to stand before a Holy God,

Open Phones After LDS General Conference

James White, April 22, 2000, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White is joined by Eddie Dalcour, president of the ministry “Department of Christian Defense”, and member of the Power Team. While touring with the Power Team, too many churches were sloppy with the Trinity and Justification. With Mormonism, denial of a creator God incompatible with Scripture. Caller question on double predestination and another on praying to the person of

Why Write Potter’s Freedom? & more of Why Witness to Mormons?

James White, April 15, 2000, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Since Normal Geisler has a good reputation, James White responds to those that would question why the endorsements for the upcoming book Potter’s Freedom would need to be worded so strongly on the issue of the Doctrines of Grace. Two callers try to understand Geisler’s redefinition of terms. Also, the need to witness to Mormonism due to their hyper-polytheism:the centrality
