A Sikh/Atheist on Unbelievable, Apologetics Calls

James White, November 24, 2009, The Dividing Line

I played a portion of a debate from Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program in the UK where the Sikh representative turned out to be part of Dennis McKinsey’s Biblical Errancy group. Then we took calls, including two on the subject of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Made some hopefully helpful comments on the need to be grounded and balanced in studying the cults. Don’t

The Troubling Aspects of the Manhattan Declaration

James White, November 23, 2009, Christian Worldview

Because we honor justice and the common good, we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryodestructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other antilife act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or

Talk About Convoluted…

James White, November 22, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

I was directed to what must be the most convoluted, complicated, amazing attempt to get around the plain meaning of John 6 I’ve ever seen. You really have to work at producing this kind of complexity in the face of plain teaching. The lengths to which people will go to avoid a sovereign God! If you have time for such

Former Pro-Golfer

James White, November 19, 2009, The Dividing Line

Sorry to be late getting this up. Rich’s laptop, which he uses to do a lot of this stuff, died this morning (motherboard), so we are a little delayed. Yesterday we discussed the great non-event of a former pro-golfer promoting a long-refuted book attacking the deity of Christ, then we took a number of calls on a wide variety of

More on Homosexual Uber-Rights

James White, November 19, 2009, Christian Worldview

I have been saying for years, homosexuals do not want equal rights. They want uber-rights. They want to silence anyone who would identify their sexual perversion as sin. Why? Romans 1 tells you. Suppressing the truth is tiring, and for the homosexual, it is a full-time job. They cannot silence their conscience, but they can try to silence anyone who

Responses to the Deen Show

James White, November 18, 2009, Islam

I have put together a YouTube playlist of the sixteen videos I have done providing response and refutation to what is promoted on The Deen Show. If you have Muslim friends, they might find the following to be of interest.

Golfer Kermit Zarley is Servetus “the Evangelical”?

James White, November 18, 2009, Misc

Steve Noel wrote this morning and identified former professional golfer Kermit Zarley as Servetus the Evangelical. A brief look at his website seems to confirm this, as he has written a few religiously oriented books, and, more importantly, says the following: North Park University’s gregarious New Testament professor, accomplished golfer, and my close friend–Dr. Scot McKnight–a well published author himself,

Why Many Modern American Evangelicals Don’t Like Reformed Baptist Preaching

James White, November 18, 2009, Reformed Baptist Issues

Humanists with a thin coating of religion won’t put up with this for long. Reformed Baptist Churches tend to be between 50 and 350 congregants in size, generally. Here is a contrast. A “church” with 16,000 in attendance. Listen to the message. While I did not add the text to this video, the final verse provided says it all.

Help Us Get the London Debates!

James White, November 17, 2009, Islam

Here’s what happened. Last year another ministry offered to pay for the video taping of the debates I did in London. They had likewise taped the debates in Southern California earlier in the year, and in Durham with Zulfiqar Ali Shah. We have received two of the eight debates (both with Osama Abdullah). However, they took too much on, and

Callers on Reformed Theology

James White, November 17, 2009, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about upcoming debate possibilities, including my getting in contact with Dr. Michael Brown, and the possibility of having him on the DL, and my being on his program as well. Played a caller objecting to Reformed theology from Dr. Brown’s radio program, then took calls.

An Insight into Ehrman’s Most Recent

James White, November 17, 2009, General Apologetics

Michael Kruger from RTS Charlotte concluded his review of Jesus Interrupted with these words: In the end, Jesus Interrupted can be best summarized as a book filled with ironies. Ironic that it purports to be about unbiased history but rarely presents an opposing viewpoint; ironic that it claims to follow the scholarly consensus but breaks from it so often; ironic

Zakir Naik’s Claims on Muhammad in the Bible

James White, November 16, 2009, Islam

Here is my third and final response to Zakir Naik’s appearance on The Deen Show. What I did was take my opening statement from my debate with Shabir Ally on this topic from London in November of last year, along with my comments on Deuteronomy 18:18 from the preceding debate, and put that audio under the KeyNote slides I used.

An Ironically Accurate Description of the Majority of Roman Catholic Apologetics Efforts

James White, November 13, 2009, Roman Catholicism

I say it is ironic because it is provided by…a Roman Catholic. In criticizing “Catholicism: Crisis of Faith,” SDG wrote: In short, the video appears to be aimed at Catholics whose faith is shallow, ill-informed, and unstable, who will not realize that there is anything more to the issues than you have presented here. It seems to seek to make

We Finished Norman Geisler’s “Sermon” on Calvinism!

James White, November 12, 2009, The Dividing Line

I know it only took me five months, but we finally finished up Norman Geisler’s “Why I’m Not a Five Point Calvinist” sermon, and took a couple of calls as well. I took a few minutes to report on the last few days of my trip to New York as well. Our pre-feed music came from none other than Mylo

From the Mail Bag:

James White, November 11, 2009, Mail Bag

An honest iniquiry about Dr. White’s blog statement: I wanted to illustrate that simply taking the Qur’an as the final authority without recognizing that it is not mubinun, “clear” or “perspicuous,” on so many points (and this is one of the most vital assertions it makes, in denying the atonement of Christ!) leads to irrationality.” How does this claim of

Imam Sayeed

James White, November 10, 2009, The Dividing Line

Started off with a song from our KJV Only friends, via the Amazing Grace Baptist Church KJV, called “Bogus Bible Blues.” What a way to start! Then gave a brief report on Saturday’s encounter with Imam Sayeed, and then dove back into the Geisler sermon, taking one call on God “changing his mind” at the end of the program. More

A Major Ministry Resource Opportunity

James White, November 10, 2009, Misc

Last Saturday evening those in attendance at the dialogue in Queens know that I asked a number of direct questions of Imam Sayeed relating to Surah 4:157. One of the reasons I did so was because I knew there were Muslims in the audience who take a different view of the text, and I wanted to illustrate that simply taking

Many Thanks to TurretinFan and Steve Hayes

James White, November 8, 2009, Misc

When I landed in NY on Friday evening I found that TurretinFan and Steve Hayes had both responded to our Thursday DL caller, Wes. Steve responded here, and TurretinFan added some comments here. As you saw, TurretinFan had already linked to a rather extensive discussion he had posted a few years ago on the Grounding Objection here. I am thankful

Quick Report from Long Island

James White, November 8, 2009, Misc

Greetings from Westbury, Long Island. I managed to get the first half of last night’s debate up this morning, and now that I am finished with my Lord’s Day duties, I’m compressing the next portion of the debate. My camera died before the end of the debate, so I had to use my little Casio for the last few minutes,

Listen Live to the Debate Today at 7pm EST!

James White, November 7, 2009, Islam

This is New York, and the debate is in Queens, so the chances of starting on time are just about nill, but, sometime around 7pm, and probably a bit before, I will start live streaming at the regular DL link here. Remember, this will be a raw feed straight from the debate, so you will hear audience noise, conversations during

Misrepresenting, Lying, and Slandering…Along with Phone Calls!

James White, November 5, 2009, The Dividing Line

Last Tuesday afternoon I had a Twitter “convo” with Wes from Atlanta. He started off saying he was listening to my presentation on Molinism and that he was amazed at my lack of “intellectual fortitude.” He went on to say that I “misrepresent and slander” anyone who does not ride my particular “hobby horse,” and he mentioned Caner, Craig, and

The Smartest Southern Baptist Alive and Other Stuff

James White, November 4, 2009, Misc

That’s what I was thinking this morning as I rode and listened to Dr. Albert Mohler’s radio program on my iPod. If you have not subscribed to his podcast, take my advice and sign up. Few people can express Christian worldview issues like he can. Of course, he’s also much more polished and urbane than I am. We end up

A Word for our Friends

James White, November 4, 2009, Misc

I wish to once again thank everyone who over the past year has used the Ministry Resource List to bless this work. Few things have been as encouraging as that list. Two brothers even sought out my personal list, which again makes me realize how our work has reached to folks we could never imagine blessing. In any case, I

Where Do I Get That Tie?

James White, November 4, 2009, Misc

As I’ve been traveling about I’ve been asked a number of times, “Where do I get your ties?” I’ve designed a few ties, some based upon ancient manuscripts, some from my fractal art, that I’ve worn in some of my debates, etc. I’ve posted this before, but we have a lot of new folks, so, here is the link to

An Attempted Syllogism Examined

James White, November 3, 2009, Roman Catholicism

It has long been understood by sound Christians that the Scriptures are the Word of God, yet, as Peter expressed it, they were spoken by men. “Men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” is Peter’s phraseology. Everyone knows that the language Paul uses in Ephesians, for example, differs in tone from Galatians, reflecting the
