Ergun Caner Update, Robert Sungenis on Predestination, Calvary Chapel

James White, March 16, 2010, The Dividing Line

Did the DL live from Kansas today, covering a brief update on the Ergun Caner front, reading an e-mail sent to Robert Sungenis and his answer for most of the hour, and the closing with the caller who had called the Pastor’s Perspective show and asked about Ezekiel 36 and the heart of stone and the heart of flesh (if

Unbelievable Programs Posted/Sungenis Comments on DL Today

James White, March 16, 2010, Misc

First, both programs I did with Justin Brierley on the Unbelievable Radio Program in London have now aired and are available for download. The first program was with Adnan Rashid, the second with Sir Anthony Buzzard. I think most of our readers will find both to be quite interesting. I really wish to pursue a full public debate with Anthony

Monday Miscellaneous

James White, March 15, 2010, Misc

I am speaking in Kansas, but I believe I will be able to do the DL at its regular time on Tuesday via Skype. So ignore what I said on the last program! I had to set my clock back last night. That is just so wrong. But, I get two hours back when I go home anyway…but it’s all

A Quick Note from Gate A25

James White, March 13, 2010, Reformed Apologetics

On my way to Leavenworth, Kansas for this weekend’s conference, but fired up the MacBook long enough to get my mail. Not only did another loving missive from Peter Lumpkins come through, but I was directed to what can only amount to his published response of my documentation of his false accusations. Personally, I think this speaks volumes about the

A Brief Response to Tony Byrne

James White, March 13, 2010, Misc

Tony Byrne has commented on my preceding post in the comments on a particular post at Peter Lumpkins’ website. When I attempted a brief rejoinder, I found I cannot post there anymore (which is fine with me, I assure you). But since I took the time to write it prior to rushing off to the airport, I wanted to post

Ergun Caner Removes “Repentance” Statement

James White, March 12, 2010, Misc

If you read my response to Ergun Caner’s 2/25/2010 statement you will find a link to his website. If you click on that link you will now get a 404 screen, just like when you click on the Bio link at the top of the page. Simple site maintenance? Or retrenching in hope to ride out the storm? Let’s hope

9 Hours (give or take an hour or so)

Jeff Downs, March 12, 2010, Testimonies

{Note: This entire entry is written tongue-in-cheek, the real point is to make you aware of the resources] I want to take a moment and set a “story” straight. It is a story I heard a number of times this week and I simply want everyone to know the facts of the matter. Back in August of 2004, Dr. White

Peter Lumpkins: A Case Study

James White, March 12, 2010, General Apologetics

Thursday was a busy day for me. I had to get packed and out of my hotel room early, and I gave the last presentation of the conference on the very difficult and challenging issue of Peter Enns. I did not get access to my e-mail until I was sitting at the gate in Charlotte waiting for my flight back

Creeds, Confession and Peter Enns

Jeff Downs, March 12, 2010, Theology Matters

Mitch Pacwa’s Series on the Reformation

James Swan, March 12, 2010, Roman Catholicism

Scheduled to be released on the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of the 95 theses is Mitch Pacwa’s The Reformation Project video series. Pacwa was recently on Catholic Answers to discuss the project. He’s looking to do a ten part series on the Reformation from a Roman Catholic perspective. The host of the interview introduced Pacwa by noting the

God and Evil: The Trauma of Sovereignty

James Swan, March 9, 2010, Reformed Apologetics

I’m not particularly keen on reinventing wheels. Part of the fortunate heritage of the Reformed worldview is that much better minds than mine have studied the Biblical text, then formulated its information into concise doctrinal statements. Of course the statements are only as good as the verses they’re based on. For instance, chapter three of the Westminster Confession of Faith

Ergun Caner Materials

TurretinFan, March 9, 2010, Simply Silly

Dr. White is traveling and asked me to post this here. One reason for having it here is so that folks can investigate the matter for themselves, rather than simply listening to commentary from critics. Indeed, some folks have suggested that Ergun Caner’s critics are getting their material from a Muslim “hate site” – apparently suggesting that the sources involved

What a Shame

James White, March 9, 2010, Reformed Baptist Issues

I do try to think the best of folks, and I had hoped that after the fallout from David Allen’s false accusations against me at the failed John 3:16 Conference in November of 2008 that some clarity had been brought to the issue. I had hoped that despite his over-reliance upon Tony Byrne and others of his particular persuasion he

Tomorrow on Iron Sharpens Iron

James White, March 8, 2010, Misc

I really wish I could listen live to Iron Sharpens Iron Tuesday, but I will be traveling. My dear friend Pastor Jim Handyside will be Chris Arnzen’s guest tomorrow. Of course, I call him my dear friend despite the fact that no one has pierced me through more thoroughly than dear Jim. After preaching at his church in Anniesland (just

Pastor’s Perspective Radio

James White, March 8, 2010, The Dividing Line

Couldn’t let some folks have withdrawals for nearly two weeks (and I wanted to comment on a few things myself!) so we did a special Monday DL today. I started off looking at Ezekiel 36 and 37 and the beautiful presentation of God’s work of regeneration in the New Covenant displayed therein. Then we listened, without interruption, to a nine

An Amusing Textual Criticism Story

Dr. Alan Kurschner, March 8, 2010, Textual Issues

Stephen Neill recalls: It may be interesting to give an illustration of the practical use to which can occasionally be put. Many years ago, when I was teaching in a high school in India, I had given my class some work to do in their own time, and had told them that they were not

Egun Caner, Pat Robertson, and the Satanic Verses

James White, March 8, 2010, Islam

I was looking over the transcript of an interview between Pat Robertson and Ergun Caner from April 2, 2002 (that is the posting date; evidently the program would have been recorded earlier, perhaps in 2001). I have been sent many links of late from folks who have been digging into the elephant-like memory of the Internet. I ran across the

A Monday DL…Early (10am MST)

James White, March 7, 2010, The Dividing Line

Since I will be traveling both Tuesday and Thursday, we will do a special, early edition of the DL tomorrow at 10am MST (9am PST, Noon EST). I did not get a chance to play the “quote the text, quickly move therefrom” response of the men on the Pastor’s Perspective program when someone called in to ask about the heart

The 2010 Scottish Invasion!

James White, March 6, 2010, Reformed Baptist Issues

My dear brother Pastor Jim Handyside of the Reformed Baptist Chuch at Anniesland (Glasgow area, Scotland) will be speaking in churches in the Florida/Georgia area over the next number of weeks. Let me tell you, there are few preachers who draw the line as straight and who cut to the heart of the matter the way brother Handyside does. If

Greenville, South Carolina

Jeff Downs, March 6, 2010, Resources

This is where Dr. White will be this coming week for the 2010 Spring Theology Conference presented by Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary on the topic “The Nature and Sufficiency of Scripture.” The conference will be held at Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church in Simpsonville, SC. The conference runs from Tuesday, March 9 (1pm) – Thursday, March 11 (12:15pm). On Tuesday, there

On Reading in Context and Questions for the LU Board of Trustees

James White, March 5, 2010, Islam

I’ve been hearing rumblings on the net since I posted the “you don’t do Muslim prayers in bathrooms” article that, “Oh, but you can!” It is truly amazing the lengths to which folks are willing to go. I have seen people saying you can do so in your prison cell, for example. Wonderful. Ergun Caner was not in prison (no

Doing Salah in the Bathroom

James White, March 4, 2010, Islam

It does not take a Muslim scholar to figure out that saying any of the daily prayers in a bathroom would be forbidden. When I mentioned the idea to my wife yesterday, she immediately said, “What? Surely that isn’t allowed!” Given that my wife has never studied Islam, I can only assume it is a given that Islam would not

Calls, Calls, and More Calls, on the DL

James White, March 4, 2010, The Dividing Line

It was a caller-driven show today. I had cued up some Robert Price material, but the calls started early and kept coming. We even took some Skype calls for the first time (the sound quality is amazing!). Covered a very, very wide range of topics, from divorce and remarriage to preparing for apologetics, the meaning of true forgiveness, etc. Something

The Trinity on the Janet Mefferd Show

James White, March 4, 2010, Reformed Apologetics

I had a great time on the Janet Mefferd Show yesterday, discussing the nature of the Trinity. Even had a Jewish apologist caller, which proved interesting. You can listen to Janet’s show here.

Benedict XVI Agreeing (in part) with Luther and Pastor David King

TurretinFan, March 4, 2010, Roman Catholicism

Benedict XVI (B16) has written a book called “Principles of Catholic Theology.” It is something he published while a Cardinal and prefect of the “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith” (the modern name of the Inquisition). This book raises several points of interest as to B16’s view of Luther and his view of the church fathers. The following post

Mortal and Venial Sins?

James White, March 4, 2010, Roman Catholicism

Pastor David King, co-author of the three-volume set titled Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of our Faith, has been spending a great deal of time in the years since the publication of that work continuing his work of cataloging patristic citations that are relevant to Rome’s claims and dogmas. He just posted the following in our chat channel: Basil

When Islam Reigns Supreme

James White, March 3, 2010, Islam

Islamabad (AsiaNews) – A court in Kasur district, Punjab, convicted a Christian couple, Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi, to 25 years in prison. According to the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), judge Ajmal Hussein convicted the couple for touching the Qur’an without washing their hands. Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi were released on bail last January, but

The Southern Baptist Convention, Ergun Caner, and 1 John 5:1

James White, March 2, 2010, The Dividing Line

But not quite in that order, thankfully. A lengthy call took up most of the program, focused upon the Caner situation and the need for simple integrity in being honest about what you say in the field of apologetics. A caller at the end shifted the topic to 1 John 5:1. I’m a bit surprised at the responses I have
