Dan Wallace

James White, August 6, 2009, The Dividing Line

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of Dallas Seminary and the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts joined me for the entire hour on the program today. We covered a tremendous range of topics, from the Ankerberg Show to Dan’s Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, to Bart Ehrman, textual variants, etc. You really need to keep CSNTM

Tradition and the House Church Movement

James Swan, August 6, 2009, General Apologetics

The interactions with Harold Camping’s flee the church reminded me of a recent discussion I had with a person intrigued by the house church movement. He explained there was a grass roots movement of serious Reformed Christians that believed big churches were a leftover from medieval Catholicism. That big building you go to every Sunday wasn’t what the Apostles had

Preparing for the LONG Flight Across the Pacific

James White, August 6, 2009, Misc

I suppose the really positive thing about the 15 hours on a jet on the way to Sydney is…it will be an Airbus 380, the new jumboliner with two full decks on it. At least I’ll have someplace to walk! I wonder if you can do sprints up and down the stairs? In any case, I will be getting to

Did Athanasius Have Any Right?

James Swan, August 6, 2009, Roman Catholicism

It’s sometimes argued the Reformers didn’t have the right to call for the reform of the Roman church. How could a small minority challenge the authority of the established majority? Of course, there are many nuances and rabbit trails to meander down when one gets into this discussion- like did the reformers have miracles to prove their reform efforts? or

From Seventy to More than a Million?

TurretinFan, August 5, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

Two posts ago, I pointed out how Mr. Camping’s chronology falls apart under Scriptural scrutiny over something as simple as the name of Moses’ father (link). In the immediately preceding post, I demonstrated that a rebuttal based on there needing to be 430 years in Egypt was wrong based on the plain teachings of Scripture (link). As I explained then,

Hebrews 3:7ff, PRBC Evening Service, August 2, 2009

James White, August 5, 2009, Exegesis

Sorry that the audio turned out low. Not sure why it varied this way, but still quite usable.

Tim Staples on Purgatory

James White, August 4, 2009, The Dividing Line

A wide ranging program for your listening enjoyment and edification today, to be sure. Started off with Tim Staples on purgatory and idulgences; went on to some Gail Riplinger zaniness; took a call on 1 Timothy 2:1-7; finished up going a few minutes over to cover claims made by Shabir Ally in a debate in South Africa recently.

Dan Wallace on the Dividing Line August 6th!

James White, August 4, 2009, The Dividing Line

I am very excited to announce that Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, Professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary, and the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), will be my guest on The Dividing Line this coming Thursday evening. Dr. Wallace’s work in Greek grammar is well known, as he is the author

Unbelievable Programs Airing

James White, August 4, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

You may recall that last month I did two programs with Justin Brierley on his “Unbelievable” radio program in London. I debated Roger and Faith Forster on the doctrines of grace and on the existence of eternal punishment. The first of those programs aired last weekend, which means I assume the program on eternal punishment will air this weekend in

Mormonism 101 – Index Page

TurretinFan, August 4, 2009, Mormonism

In 2007, Dr. White provided a helpful series on Mormonism, entitled, “Mormonism 101.” Until now, there does not seem to have been a handy index of those posts. I’ve provided such an index below, using the headlines that Dr. White provided at the time. I’ve also thrown in a special item that was released on Mormonism during the series, and

Hebrews 3:1-6: Partakers of a Heavenly Calling

James White, August 4, 2009, Exegesis

Playing Games with Divine Truths

James White, August 3, 2009, General Apologetics

A couple of months ago I was directed to a website promoting an anti-Trinitarian book by an apostate. I did not spend much time on it for the simple reason that the apostate is playing games, calling himself “Servetus the Evangelical,” and even running a contest as to who can “guess” his identity before he “comes out” in September of

How then Four Hundred, Thirty Years?

TurretinFan, August 3, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

One reader inquired regarding the Camping Jenga post: If Amram was Aaron’s dad, how on earth do we account for the 430 year sojourn in Egypt? I answer as follows: The Israelites did not sojourn 430 years in Egypt. This is one of the first mistakes that Mr. Camping has made in his claims regarding the matter, though it is

Discern 09 Is Coming Fast!

James White, August 1, 2009, Christian Worldview

I had such a great time at the Discern 08 Conference last year at Calvary Santa Fe, so I am really looking forward to being back! This year I will be joined by Dr. Bruce Ware and Dr. Ron Rhodes. My topics are great: the Reformation, Islam, and the Forgotten Trinity! You can register here. I look forward to seeing

Camping and the Atonement

TurretinFan, August 1, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

In a previous post (link) we discussed how Mr. Harold Camping errs on the simple question of who Moses’ father is, according to the Scriptures, and how this has a chain reaction effect on his chronology. There are other clear errors in Mr. Camping’s theology that relate less directly to his date-setting error. Scripture Says Christ Died Once Scripture is

Ah, the Glories of Ruckmanism

James White, August 1, 2009, King James Onlyism

From Sam Gipp’s site (ht DC): First, James White, the famous Bible-hater, put a video on claiming it was the segment of the John Ancherberg Show where Don Wilkins, of the NASV, lost his voice. It wasn’t. It was a different occurrence. The one where Wilkins lost his voice was erased on Ancherberg’s orders. First I did a brief YouTube

Martignoni’s Biblical Evidence for the Priesthood Revisited

James Swan, August 1, 2009, Roman Catholicism

Recently I posted an entry on Catholic Apologist John Martignoni’s interpretation of James 5:14-16. Martignoni said “elders” in James 5:14 means “priests,” and therefore the concept of the Roman Catholic priesthood is clearly taught in the Bible. In response I posted a short MP3 clip from Dr. White’s debate on the Roman Catholic Priesthood. I realize that a response from

Camping Jenga

TurretinFan, July 31, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

Mr. Harold Camping’s views of the end times are extremely complex, which is one of the reason that they attract many folks. In some ways, they are like a more complicated version of Jenga, in which a tower is constructed from numerous sticks that seem to be more or less separable from the tower. One problem with the extreme complexity

Harold Camping Today on Iron Sharpens Iron

James White, July 31, 2009, Exegesis

Today at 3pm EDT Mr. Camping will be taking calls on Iron Sharpens Iron. We have offered Chris Arnzen our system and phone lines so that Mr. Camping can hear the callers (WNYG’s technical equipment leaves a good bit to be desired). I have decided to fire up the DL feed again as well, however, what I will do in

Hebrews 2:11ff

James White, July 31, 2009, Exegesis

Sunday evening sermon from PRBC, July 26, 2009.

Acts 13:48, Cornelius, and Other Topics and Iron Sharpens Iron

James White, July 30, 2009, The Dividing Line

I started out today on Iron Sharpens Iron doing the third day in a row on the Harold Camping topic. This time we took calls just for me. Mr. Camping’s followers were out in force, and once again, the importance of honoring God’s Word by refusing to force our words into God’s mouth was seen clearly. Here’s the program. Then

Why We Love the Church

Jeff Downs, July 30, 2009, Resources

In light of the recent discussions, old and new readers of this blog maybe interested in this new book by Kevin D. Young and Ted Kluck titled Why We Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion (Moody, 2009). A study guide for the book is located online here (free). Check out their quick YouTube introduction. I know

Mission Accomplished!

James White, July 30, 2009, King James Onlyism

Remember how last month AV Publications (aka, Gail Riplinger) refused to send me a copy of her book, even though the person ordering it paid full price for it? Well, we got someone else to order it, and…here it is! Opened it up right to an attack on my father’s godly Greek professor, Kenneth Wuest. Mrs. Riplinger is still as

Hebrews 2:9-10

James White, July 30, 2009, Exegesis

The Sunday morning sermon from PRBC, July 26, 2009. Note the discussion of the importance of the imputed righteousness of Christ at the end of the study.

Day Two of the Debate with Harold Camping

Micah Burke, July 29, 2009, Misc

The second day of debate between Dr. James White and Harold Camping of Family Radio is now available. Today Mr. Camping didn’t even attempt to interact with Dr. White’s presentation, attempting instead to teach his unusual Biblical numerology to the listeners. Day two of the debate is now available here.

Debate: Has the Church Age Ended? Harold Camping, Long Island, New York, 7/28/2009

James White, July 28, 2009, Debate, General Apologetics

We wanted to get this up as soon as possible. We had major problems at first, but we got everything set up and still got a full hour or more in of meaningful exchange. As I expected, the focus was the proper one: Harold Camping’s incoherent hermeneutical methodology. I am looking forward to tomorrow’s exchange! Click here to listen to

Harold Camping: Modern Day Cult Leader

James White, July 28, 2009, General Apologetics

Some of you may know that over the past three weeks Le Tour de France has been going on. Those of us who are avid cyclists find this time period to be our “Super Bowl,” so to speak. It just lasts for three weeks. Anyway, in the mountain stages you will hear the commentators use a particular phrase. When someone

A Fascinating Catholic Answers Forums Thread

James White, July 27, 2009, Roman Catholicism

M.S. informed me of this fascinating thread over on the Catholic Answers Forums. It is sad, and encouraging, all at the same time. What is sad, clearly, is that the users assume someone like Keating, who has refused to engage any meaningful critique of his apologetics writings for decades now, would have a meaningful response to my criticism. But what

Harold Camping Debate Tuesday and Wednesday!

James White, July 27, 2009, General Apologetics

We have arranged to be able to webcast the Iron Sharpens Iron program on our regular Dividing Line link tomorrow. So here is how it will work: tomorrow starting around 10:25am or so (1:25pm EDT) we will start streaming the seminar I did on Camping’s attack upon Christ’s church back in 2002 or so. That will take us right up
