Dan Barker: Yes, I’ve Made the Same Argument for Seventeen Years. So What?

James White, September 28, 2009, Christian Worldview

As soon as I got into the office today I went over to my atheism section in my library and pulled down Dan Barker’s 1992 publication, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist. This book is the immediate predecessor of Godless which came out, not two years ago as Dan recalled in the debate, but in 2008. I immediately

Don’t Quote Me, Bro! Video

James White, September 27, 2009, Christian Worldview

As I noted in the previous article, Dan Barker’s attempt to hide the horrifically bad argumentation he presented in his 2007 book Godless failed badly. I promised the video, and here it is (my system is currently cooking along at 162 degrees in the CPU importing the gigabytes of video of the entire debate). I note that it is a

The Most Unusual Event in All of My Debates Took Place Today

James White, September 26, 2009, General Apologetics

I never saw this one coming. I had a feeling Dan Barker would be going a different way in his presentation than he had in his 2007 book, Godless. But when he gave a completely different presentation than he had in a book published only two years ago (with a foreword by Dawkins—a book he was selling in the foyer

Ready to Listen to the Debate?

James White, September 26, 2009, General Apologetics

I should be firing up the feed about now, so, I’ve timed this blog article to appear so as to provide the link you will need to listen live to the debate in Newberg, Oregon between myself and Dan Barker. Lord willing, the following link will get you connected! Click here to listen!

George/Beckwith Ecumenical Dialogue

We finished off our review of the George/Beckwith ecumenical dialogue at that time.

A Twitter Convo…England 2010…Theology Matters at Biola

James White, September 22, 2009, Theology Matters

Had a brief “conversation” on Twitter today. Trying to discuss topics like this with 140 character limits is often frustrating, but, sometimes, challenging in a good way. Started with the following question: Hey Doc, listening to stuff on WLCraig. can you explain the dif between some Calvt’s “best of all poss worlds” vs molinism? I replied: Molinism: God is constrained

Continued Beckwith/George Dialogue

James White, September 22, 2009, The Dividing Line

Ecumenical hysteria continues today on the DL as we work through the Beckwith/George dialogue from Wheaton. I will do my best to do a live DL from Newberg, Oregon on Thursday afternoon at the regular time. Don’t forget the live webcast of the debate with Dan Barker at 10am Saturday (PDT)!

Continuation of Examination of Ecumenical Dialogue Between Frank Beckwith and Timothy George

James White, September 17, 2009, The Dividing Line

I managed to get a good bit of ground covered in the Beckwith/George dialogue today, but once again, over and over again, the centrality of the Gospel, and the shallowness of ecumenism, were illustrated. Important interaction that, sadly, isn’t taking place nearly as often as it should in our truth-starved culture.

The Triune God of Scripture Lives: Now Available

Rich was learning a new program, so it took a while to get the original Barker debate media finished. The video of the debate is available here, and audio recording here. Don’t forget to be praying for the next debate with Dan Barker up in Newberg, OR. I will be taking my mini computer to live webcast the debate as

Carmenn Massa and Dodging the Real Arguments

James White, September 16, 2009, Mormonism

I was directed to a blog article that took a shot at A&O based not upon what I have published in my books on Catholicism or Mormonism (the writer is a young Roman Catholic), not upon what I have written on our website, not upon what I have said in formal debates against Catholics or Mormons (more than forty such

Crimson Catholic, Calvin, and Real Blasphemy

James White, September 16, 2009, Roman Catholicism

TurretinFan, whose RSS feeds seem to be considerably more advanced and useful than mine, noted a comment by Jonathan Prejean (“Crimson Catholic”) that contained the following statements: In my opinion, Calvin’s Institutes is the equivalent of spiritual pornography, worse than anything you hear in 99% of Beatles’ songs, and most people who read it aren’t doing it as an example

Beckwith/George Ecumenical Dialogue – Seeing Past the Fog of Ecumenism: Part I

James White, September 15, 2009, The Dividing Line

Today I began working through the Timothy George/Frank Beckwith dialogue that took place recently. It will take a number of programs to play the entire dialogue and interact with it, but I think it is necessary to do so. There is so much muddled thinking on this issue in our day, and ecumenical dialogues that start with an abandonment of

You Just Gotta Love Liberals

James White, September 14, 2009, Misc

Some of you who are new to Alpha and Omega Ministries might not know that a number of years ago I had the privilege of debating Barry Lynn, ACLU attorney and head of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. Lynn is an ordained minister in one of the most liberal denominations in the world. We debated whether

Oh That Those Who Follow Rome Would Know the Finished Work of Christ!

James White, September 11, 2009, Roman Catholicism

I am in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the Discern 09 Conference at Calvary Chapel, Santa Fe. I was surfing the channels in my hotel room as I was getting ready to hit the hay, and I ran across EWTN. They were showing the Eucharistic Congress going on in, as I gather, Washington, DC. A woman was speaking, and as

No DL Today: Plague Sweeps A&O Headquarters!

James White, September 10, 2009, The Dividing Line

OK, not quite the plague, but Rich has had this sinus stuff since Monday, and I got it Tuesday. I told him to stay home and rest, and I will take it easy while packing for my trip to Santa Fe. I surely pray I won’t have any problems speaking this weekend at Discern 09! I’m on the “downside” of

“Mother of God” Debate

James White, September 9, 2009, The Dividing Line

A two-part program, basically. In the first half I discussed the debate between TurretinFan and William Albrecht on the topic of the propriety of the use of the phrase “Mother of God” with reference to Mary, and in the second half I took a call that took up the whole half hour on the subject of Mormonism and the Book

Mark Shea: Always On Top of Those Pesky Facts!

James White, September 8, 2009, Roman Catholicism

When you think about it, if you can write a three-volume set about a theology based upon thin air in Scripture, you can’t be too concerned about little things like facts, truth, reality, etc. And surely, Mark Shea doesn’t sweat the “little stuff” along those lines! No indeed. He noticed the Newser mistake where someone threw my picture up instead

Nothing New Under the Sun: Servetus the Yawner

James White, September 7, 2009, Theology Matters

I received a copy of The Restitution of Jesus Christ by “Servetus the Evangelical” recently. Not too unexpectedly, it is a spiral bound book, like almost every other “I’ve gone apostate and now I deny the Trinity and I’m going to explain why now in this awesome book with insights no one has ever produced but me” type book I’ve

Great Stuff on Justin Brierley’s “Unbelievable” Program from the UK

James White, September 4, 2009, General Apologetics

Justin Brierley is hosting a two-part conversation featuring Richard Bauckham on the topic of his views of the eyewitnesses and Jesus’ ministry on his “Unbelievable” radio program this week and next. I listened to the first part while riding yesterday, and found it fascinating (though at one point I was a bit distracted by riding through a long stretch of

Hello, I Am A Fringe Baptist Minister, and the New American Taliban

James White, September 4, 2009, Personal

I got a couple of notifications of the Newser mistake yesterday morning wherein my picture was put in the place of that of Steven Anderson, resulting in the graphic to the right. I know, I know, all us Baptists look alike to the press, right? I really appreciated the fact that the first person to inform me of this, a

James White, September 2, 2009, King James Onlyism

I received the following e-mail a few days ago through our contact link on the aomin.org website: I just want you to know straight forward this is not an attack, but, a legitimate concern. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the occult recently and I must say that the newer versions give lots of breathing room for the

Steven Anderson Gets Famous, Some Calls, and More William Lane Craig

James White, September 1, 2009, The Dividing Line

As the video I posted earlier documents, I took the first quarter of the program to discuss Steven Anderson of “I Hate Barak O’Bama” fame, then took some calls and played more of William Lane Craig’s defense of Arminianism.

Tuesday Morning Miscellaneous

Carla has put together a new graphic that I think a number of folks are going to like, and given how many people mention the Dividing Line when I travel, this might be one you want to get in sticker form so you can advertise around town, on your notebook at school, whatever.

There have been a number of excellent works recently nailing down the undeniable evidence for intelligent design from sound, solid, scientific sources. I have mentioned how much I enjoyed Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves and if I could ever get a few hours I am looking forward to reading Signature in the Cell. The evidence for
