Brit Hume Incident Illustrates Secularism’s Hatred of Christianity

James White, January 5, 2010, Christian Worldview

Most have heard about these comments by Brit Hume: The secularists are, of course, howling in protest, but if you read what they are saying, one obvious underlying theme comes to the fore. No one is offering reasoned, objective criticism of the substance of Hume’s comments, because, quite simply, he is right. Buddhism does not, in fact, provide for redemption

A Loving Comment from a Calvary Chapelite

James White, January 4, 2010, Mail Bag

You’re strutting on you tube with your chest stuck way out boasting “I know more than Chuck, I’m more spiritual than Chuck” Even if you do have superior biblical knowledge, you don’t get to use it to attack and tear down the reputations of your fellow servants of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Also, regarding what you said about Chuck

A Quick Note on “saghara” and Surah 7:13/9:29

James White, January 2, 2010, Islam

A caller on the last DL asked about something I have noted a few times in the past regarding the text of the Qur’an. As it would take a while to type all of this out, I will address it on the DL on Tuesday instead. But for now, in fulfillment of my promise to provide the information, here it

Another Contrast Between Christianity and Islam

James White, December 31, 2009, Islam

You may have seen this new item today: As many as 50 Muslim villagers armed with clubs and axes recently attacked a showing of the ‘Jesus’ film near Sargodha, Pakistan, injuring three part-time evangelists and four Christians in attendance. Two of the evangelists were said to be seriously injured. The Muslim hardliners also damaged a movie projector, burned reels of

A Personal Word of Thanks

James White, December 31, 2009, Personal

For years I have been responsible for deciding on a film to show at our New Years Eve celebration at PRBC. We’ve shown all sorts of films, like Martin Luther: Heretic, the Radicals, etc. Last year we saw Facing the Giants. This year I wanted to show FireProof. So I e-mailed Kirk Cameron and asked if sometime this week we

Christmas Day Disaster

James White, December 31, 2009, The Dividing Line

Well, OK, it was just a few days ago. But I forgot to blog the program. When that happens, remember, the file name is always consistent! For example, this DL’s URL is http://store.aomin.org/catalogsearch/result/?q=20091231. Next Tuesday’s DL will be http://store.aomin.org/catalogsearch/result/?q=20100105, and so forth. In any case, I started off discussing a bit about Islam and the Christmas day disaster in Detroit

We need to move the Thursday DL to 2pm to allow us to do what we need to do for our New Years Eve get together at PRBC. Join us then!

Islam, Mormonism, and the Trinity

James White, December 29, 2009, The Dividing Line

As I promised, I began with a discussion of the issues relating to the recent attempted murder of civilians by a Muslim soldier of Allah. Then we had a fairly lengthy call on witnessing to Mormons, and a call on the procession of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity.

Bill Maher: Never Take Him Seriously

James White, December 28, 2009, Christian Worldview

Bill Maher is a comedian. He is not a historian, theologian, or philosopher. All one need do is take a quick look at the inane tweets he posted for Christmas, drawing from all the worst foolishness of atheism, to see why. Clearly, he has never undertaken to verify his sources, because, of course, comedians do not verify sources. The goal

Dar Al-Harb: Why You Need to Know This Arabic Phrase

James White, December 28, 2009, Islam

دار الحرب It is an Arabic phrase. It is pronounced “dar al harb.” Memorize it, because it explains why the Nigerian in the window seat is trying to blow you, and the nearly 300 other people with you on your international flight, to pieces as you descend into a major American city. Dar al-Harb means “the world of war.” It

A Reader Misses My Point on the Manhattan Declaration

James White, December 26, 2009, Mail Bag

I take it you are distancing yourself from the Nicene creed since you know the “One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church” of the creed has a different meaning to Catholic and Orthodox, than to Protestant denominations? Will you distance yourself from the bible also, since Catholic and Orthodox sign off on it? If I can get a Catholic to sign

Hitchens/D’Souza/Prager Debate

James White, December 24, 2009, The Dividing Line

Great calls on the program today, followed by an examination of some comments in the Hitchens/D’Souza/Prager debate from 2008.

Pray for Our Brothers and Sisters in Pakistan

James White, December 24, 2009, Persecution

This article from the AP reminds us that as we enjoy God’s blessings, we have brothers and sisters living under the threat of violence from Muslims in many lands. Let us all take time to pray for them, that God would protect them from the hatred of the world. 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated

Upgraded Version of Sermon on Manhattan Declaration Posted

James White, December 24, 2009, Christian Worldview

Rich took the time to take the video of my sermon on the MD and to sync up the higher quality audio. The result is much easier to listen to, to be sure. Since the topic is not going away anytime soon, I am posting the better version here.

Cross-Fire Section on the Deity of Christ

James White, December 23, 2009, Islam

Another clip from the London debates of 2008 (the video of which just arrived). Again, we are hoping to get the masters so we can fix the image sizing, annoying graphic, etc. But, the information is still there. Here is the “cross-fire” round (that’s what you do when you can’t really trust that cross-examination will be done properly).

The Kindle, and Many Calls

James White, December 22, 2009, The Dividing Line

I started off with a brief discussion of how I’ve found the Amazon Kindle to be a great asset in my studies (and how you might as well), and then went to the phones, which filled up pretty quickly. Then, once I cleared them all, I responded to this article from WorldNet Daily on the Manhattan Declaration.

Does Belief in the Trinity Necessitate Shirk?

James White, December 22, 2009, Islam

Some of the London debates arrived yesterday. Well, sorta, anyway. We requested DV, unedited video, we got plain DVDs with a highly annoying graphic plastered on the screen. So, we have made inquiry as to how to get what we requested. But, till then, at least we have something! I have no idea why the shape of the shot is

Robert George and Natural Theology

James White, December 21, 2009, Roman Catholicism

Phil Johnson wrote a great blog article that goes hand-in-hand with my preceding discussion of the consistency and (as a result) supremacy of biblical revelation and truth. It focuses upon the primary writer of the Manhattan Declaration, Robert George, a Roman Catholic philosopher and leading conservative political thinker. Read Phil’s article, and follow his links. I wanted to provide one

Chicken Coop Theology

James White, December 21, 2009, Theology Matters

I have had a growing awareness over the past number of years of the beauty and harmony of Christian truth as it is revealed in divine Scripture. God’s truth is not expressed to us in modern, Western, text-book fashion, with an index in the back so you can skip past the stuff you don’t care about, read a few paragraphs,

Birthday Ride, 2009

James White, December 18, 2009, Roman Catholicism

Five years ago now I decided to celebrate my birthday by riding up South Mountain three times. The goal was simple enough: climb 100 ft in ascent for every year of my age. So, today I did that for the fifth time. Obviously, as the years have passed, each effort gets a little harder, partly due to the simple rules

The Manhattan Declaration: Review of an Interview with J. Ligon Duncan

James White, December 18, 2009, The Dividing Line

We started half an hour early yesterday on the DL so that I could play the majority of the comments made by J. Ligon Duncan in defense of his signing of the MD. We also read through some material by Dr. Nielsen who likewise signed. Hopefully we found a solid ground upon which to speak to the issue without losing

Dr. J. Ligon Duncan

James White, December 17, 2009, The Dividing Line

We will be starting the DL half an hour early today (pre-feed at 3pm MST, 5pm EST, program at 3:30) so I can cover the entirety of the interview just recently posted with Dr. J. Ligon Duncan on why he signed the Manhattan Declaration. I want to play as much of the interview as I can, and interact with it,

The Awesome Power of Unbiblical Philosophy

James White, December 16, 2009, Theology Matters

The more I have pondered William Lane Craig’s presentation of and promotion of Molinism the more deeply grieved I have become at its grossly unbiblical nature. The presentation of God as a cosmic super-computer, running the numbers, examining the “possible worlds” presented to Him by His “middle knowledge” of what free creatures would do in any given circumstance, is so

The Swiss Minaret Ban, Religious Freedom, and Calls

James White, December 15, 2009, The Dividing Line

Started off with a discussion of religious freedom and Islam in light of the Swiss minaret ban, then started taking calls on Darwinism, Mormonism, and Reformed theology. The calls made for a quick hour to be sure!
