An Encouraging Note – From A User of this Website

James White, November 3, 2000, Reformed Apologetics

We normally do not post a lot of “atta boy” materials on our website, mainly because we respect the privacy of those who write to us. But this note was so encouraging we wanted to share it with our regular users. Friday, Nov 3, 2000 Hey guys, Thank you, thank you, thank you for the work that you guys are

The “JimmyJoeJ” Saga

James White, October 2, 2000, Roman Catholicism

UPDATED SEPTEMBER, 2001. See bottom of page for details. UPDATED APRIL, 2002. See bottom of page for even more details. James C. (he has asked that his last name be withheld) is a Roman Catholic seminary student, or so he claims. I believe I first encountered him in AOL under the screen name JIMMYJOEJ. I would often find him

The Weakness of the Evangelical Church on the Doctrine of the Trinity

James White, September 30, 2000, The Dividing Line

The “Christian” music group Phillips, Craig, and Dean are actually Oneness Pentecostals that reject the Trinity. A radio station that plays their music because they see the Trinity as a peripheral issue that does not affect salvation. A woman that says weight loss is more important to Christian women than the doctrine of the Trinity. A caller on distortions of

A Test for the Aaronic Priest

James White, September 25, 2000, Mormonism

Are you an Aaronic priest? Possibly you are a Latter- day Saint who believes the priesthood was restored by Joseph Smith in 1829 and that you have been ordained as an Aaronic priest. Possibly you believe that Hebrews 5:4 applies to you: “And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.”

Response to Southwestern on King James Controversy, Part 6 (Letus / Erhman)

James White, September 23, 2000, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

Dr. Letus also accused Dr. White of being ignorant of Bart Erhman’s work on textual criticism, but Letus neglected to mention the liberal presuppositions of Erhman, as well as how often Erhman’s scholarly conclusions refute KJOnlyism. Also, some new information on Dr. Letus’s background comes to light. Caller asks how much responsibility we have to correct those that reject the

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

James White, August 1, 2000, Islam

The Muslim debater was Hamza Abdul Malik of the Islamic Propagation Center. I

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

Roman Catholicism on BAM (White vs Staples – II)

James White, July 6, 2000, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

This lively discussion between James White and Tim Staples took place on July 6th, 2000, the day before the debate on Papal Infallibility.

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. We have been overwhelmed at the response of the reviewers.The many endorsements listed below come from scholars, pastors, and those involved in ministry all across our nation and beyond.

Live Responses to Hate Mail

James White, June 10, 2000, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White shares and responds to variety of negative feedback over various aspects of his apologetics work, including Roman Catholicism and White’s “printer manual” analogy, as well as the LDS church. A caller asks about the state of Mormon “research” concerning archeology and the book of Mormon

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
