Working on Pulpit Crimes

James White, June 4, 2006, Misc

I am currently “out of pocket” working on writing Pulpit Crimes (which also explains the blog silence). So, here are a couple of unedited sections from a “notes file” I have put together. This material then becomes incorporated into various chapters in the process or organizing the book. Since I am often asked about the writing process, I thought some

Let the Truth Be Known

James White, June 1, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

Below you will find the entirety of the correspondence that has passed between myself, Tom Ascol, Ergun Caner, and Emir Caner over the past few months regarding the October 16th debate in Lynchburg. I am posting it because the conversation has fallen to such a level that only public scrutiny and input can now possibly convince the Caners to allow

Yesterday on the Dividing Line

Rich Pierce, June 1, 2006, The Dividing Line

Started off with a quick discussion of the use of Messianic prophecies by Islamic apologists, including connecting Isaiah 9:6 to Mohammed (except, they have to sort of skip a few portions of the text). Then a call on witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses took the rest of the hour, providing a great opportunity for “practical evangelism” training on the topic. Here’s

Quick Greetings

James White, May 30, 2006, Misc

Greetings from Long Beach Airport. On my way home after spending yesterday with Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron and the entire crew at The Way of the Master here in Southern California. I talked, quite honestly, non-stop, from yesterday morning at 7:30am till yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm. We shot a great deal of footage (high def!) on Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism,

Blogging Woes

James White, May 27, 2006, Misc

Might get a little slow around here for the next two weeks. I will be gone a good bit more than I’m here, with questionable internet access. But I’ll do my best. We will shoot for a Wednesday afternoon DL next week, though it would be best to go for an earlier time, like 6pm EDT instead of 7pm. Oh,

Kudos and a Recommendation

James White, May 26, 2006, Personal

When I find a product, or a business that provides a service, that is particularly useful, I like to share that with my readers, since many of us share common interests. So, when I find a particular tech gadget highly useful (like my uber-secret debate weapon known as the HP TC1100 tablet pc), I mention it here (or others sneak

Today on the Dividing Line

James White, May 25, 2006, The Dividing Line

Well, we started with a call, then the phone went dead for about twenty minutes, then the calls started to come back in. Here’s the program. Also, please note, we will probably only have a single DL next week, probably on Wednesday, and none the week following. Sorry, traveling!

Quick Update

James White, May 25, 2006, Misc

The DL will be live this afternoon at 4pm. I might even have something other than a plastic table to sit at today! I have been listening to the sounds of hammers, drills, saws, all day…and the wood for my bookshelves is supposed to arrive next week! The trees finally grew up, I guess. Not sure what I will do

Tim Guthrie of Winning Truth Ministries Writes to Me

James White, May 24, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

The following came through our website: I just completed reading your email exchange with the Caners. I am floored by your lack of understanding of the proposed Thesis. Could it be that you are so caught up in your own intellectualism that you miss the simplicity of the Thesis. I had my 13 yr old look at it and he

Kudos to the First Presbyterian Church of Oak Ridge, Tennessee

James White, May 24, 2006, Misc

I get a weekly e-mail from John Shelby Spong (no, it isn’t personal: it’s mass produced). The things people write to him are often utterly amazing to me. But today’s was most notable. Grimes G. Slaughter (that’s what it said, honestly) wrote: I have just been fired as a Jr. High Sunday School teacher at the First Presbyterian Church in

Past Two Dividing Lines

James White, May 23, 2006, The Dividing Line

Rich just informed me that I forgot to give the link to last Thursday’s DL. My apologies. Here she is. Today on the DL I basically provided an hour long lecture/discussion of key issues related to Islam and the debate with Shabir Ally. Specifically, Mr. Ally has been writing on two of the topics of the debate, the issue of

Art Sippo Rewrites History

James White, May 22, 2006, Roman Catholicism

It has been quite some time since I have mentioned the name of Art Sippo on this blog. After years of enduring his outrageous behavior, I challenged him to debate on his own pet topic in his own home town, and he would not do it. Amazingly, he cited how “mean” I am as a reason, which left just about

An Illustration from the Recent Debate at Biola

James White, May 20, 2006, Islam

Pheme Perkins is a Harvard trained Roman Catholic scholar from Boston College. Her special interests, like so many today, include all things gnostic. Under current research projects is included, “Gnostic revealers and their discourses as evidence for emergence of Johannine traditions.” To say Dr. Perkins represents the left side of the theological and scholarly spectrum is to engage in a

So They Do Listen in Hollywood…But Just a Little

James White, May 19, 2006, General Apologetics

Back from seeing the matinee showing of The Da Vinci Code. First, the critics, as normal, don’t watch the same movies I do. I am not a critic, but as far as I could tell, on the cinematic level, it was a well done film. Ian McKellen, that God-hating homosexual actor who rips up Bibles in his hotel rooms and

Shabir Ally Debate mp3’s Available! Click here to order. No, we don’t have the DVD’s yet, for two reasons: 1) we don’t have the tapes from Biola, and 2) these mp3’s were taken from a tape in one of our two cameras that had an audio feed. Believe me, we want the DVD’s as badly as anyone else, and will

A Banner Day on the DL

James White, May 16, 2006, The Dividing Line

Well, we set new records for connections to our Real Audio server and had at least 62 people in channel at one point (maybe more when I wasn’t paying attention) during the program today, proving, with overwhelming evidence, that Tom Ascol should be the host of the Dividing Line! But since I haven’t asked Tom to start doing that, I

Caner Correspondence File

James White, May 16, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

Well, many thanks to C.S. and T.S. for taking that mess of a correspondence file and typesetting it in PDF format. For those who have struggled to read it, you can now have the entire file in gorgeous PDF format with fully readable fonts and formatting that makes it very clear who is saying what. Click here for the file.

Let the People of God Judge

James White, May 15, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

Let me summarize quickly. I will expand upon this on The Dividing Line Tuesday morning when I am joined by Dr. Tom Ascol. 1) I have posted the entirety of the correspondence between myself, Tom Ascol, Ergun Caner, and Emir Caner, that has been written since March on the topic of our debate October 16th. I believe the people of

Today on the DL

James White, May 11, 2006, The Dividing Line

Provided updates on the Caner debate (discussions on the format/thesis, etc.), progress on setting up the Glasgow debates with Shabir Ally for May of 2007, announced that Tom Ascol will be joining me on the DL next Tuesday morning, and then took calls, the first on Romans 7, the second from a “former believer” who wanted to demonstrate that the

WOOPS! Double Booked Myself Again

James White, May 11, 2006, The Dividing Line

Sorry, but I double booked myself this morning. I will have to move the DL back an hour. I’m on WVNE in Worcester, MA talking about The Da Vinci Code this morning! Completely spaced it! So, I’ll do that, then run in and do the DL! My apologies. I don’t have a secretary! So, for the many time-challenged folks out

My Lectures on The Da Vinci Code

James White, May 11, 2006, General Apologetics

With the release of The Da Vinci Code right around the corner, a quick reminder of our resources is in order. For my 20+ part blog series, all in one file, on the book’s many Biblical errors, click here. For the mp3’s of my Auburn University lecture on Da Vinci (and my presentation on the resurrection for the faculty), click

Brian Flemming and Debating

James White, May 10, 2006, General Apologetics

When I was speaking in London earlier this year I played a few sections from The God Who Wasn’t There, the film produced by Brian Flemming. I did so because the work is such an excellent example of leaps of irrationality, confident presentations of falsehoods as facts, and simply bad argumentation—and yet, it is so representative of the kind of

Moving the DL Tomorrow

James White, May 10, 2006, The Dividing Line

I have the opportunity to be on the drive-time call in talk program on KPXQ tomorrow afternoon, 5-7pm, so we are going to move the DL to the morning time, 11am. Sorry if that messes anything up for anyone, but that’s the wonderful thing about a webcast. You can take advantage of other ministry opportunities as they arise.

Shabir Ally Debate Report on the DL Today

James White, May 9, 2006, The Dividing Line

Despite a less than happy Real Audio server, we managed to get the DL in today. Those who tried to listen live only got portions of it, but the archive should be fine. I spent the entire hour going over the Ally debate and providing some background. Once we started having technical difficulties I had a little more trouble staying
