Peace

James White, April 1, 2005, Roman Catholicism

We are hearing a great deal about the Pope dying in peace. And for what reason? Because he has suffered. You will be able to see, and hear, just how badly understood the gospel is amongst evangelicals and others as you listen to the commentary on the Pope. The specifics of the gospel will be buried under the emotionalism of

Reports on the Pope’s Death

James White, April 1, 2005, Roman Catholicism

As most of you know, various news sources are reporting Pope John Paul II has died, while others, including the Vatican, are denying this. However, the Vatican has confirmed that he is dying, and that it is only a matter of time. I am in Toledo, Ohio, preparing to speak this evening at the Toledo Reformed Theology Conference, so I

Charles Darwin Killed Terri Schiavo

James White, March 31, 2005, Christian Worldview

I have not addressed the Schiavo situation over the past number of months, not because I have not been watching the situation with great interest, but because everyone else has been saying almost everything you could possibly say about it. Now that Mrs. Schiavo has been put to death in the most inhuman possible way (who can argue otherwise? We

Off to Toledo and Detroit

James White, March 31, 2005, Misc

Just a tad bit different than London or Inverness, but I’m off once again, this time to the Heart of the Gospel Conference in Toledo, and then on to Cornerstone Baptist in Roseville to speak Sunday morning. I’ll be speaking on justification issues at the conference, weaving various threads of the new perspectives on Paul controversy through each of my

Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR): Jihad in the Media

James White, March 30, 2005, Islam

Today on the Little Green Footballs blog we read: According to Robert Spencer, National Review decided to cave in to pressure from the Council on American Islamic Relations because they were “choosing their battles.” While it’s definitely true that National Review has done a great deal to expose the agenda of radical Islam, and I’m not going to stop reading

Louw & Nida Available for Palm OS from OliveTree

James White, March 30, 2005, Technology

With the availability of huge, 1-gig and above SD cards for Palm devices now, it is great to see resources like this coming on line. Louw & Nida’s Greek lexicon based upon semantic domains is now available for Palm from OliveTree (they also make available the Gramcord Greek NT). As I traveled in England/Scotland, and as I look forward to

The Godless Oligarchy

James White, March 30, 2005, Christian Worldview

I don’t know how long this link will be valid, but you have probably read about the 3-2 vote of the Colorado Supreme Court throwing out the death penalty conviction of one Robert Harlan all due to the citation of the Bible during the deliberations. Harlan, a murdering rapist thug, deserves the death penalty, but now the citizens of Colorado

Walking Trees

James White, March 30, 2005, King James Onlyism

Here’s a picture of the sign the KJV Only Street Abusers were carrying in Mesa last week. As the picture is, of necessity, rather small, let me fill in what is hard to read. On the green, good tree you have “KJV Holy Bible,” followed by “Every Vital Doctrine Preserved.” Below this is “Deity of Christ,” “Virgin Birth of Christ,”

My Pilgrimage to Scotland

James White, March 29, 2005, Personal

I come from a long line of ministers, going directly back to multiple great-grandparents in Scotland (yes, of course they were Presbyterians). So my visit to Scotland got me thinking, especially when we stopped in a shop near Loch Ness and I wanted to pick up a Scottish tartan tie. The helpful lady informed me that my family name appears

Radio Free Geneva Today on the DL

James White, March 29, 2005, The Dividing Line

Today on the Dividing Line I concluded my review of one of the “worst of the worst,” the anti-Calvinism sermon of Dr. Danny O’Guinn of Tower Grove Baptist Church in St. Louis. Today we heard Dr. O’Guinn repeat the now infamous “Spurgeon denied limited atonement” section of Spurgeon’s sermon defending limited atonement. It is a classic example of “borrow a

Mercy in Romans 9 and One Last Response to “Mr. Holding”

James White, March 29, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

I confess I would rather not write this, solely because I know that it is somewhat like throwing a match into a gas can, but I said I would speak to the issue of the meaning of mercy in the Scripture in response to Mr. Holding’s very odd, way-out-of-center, and simply errant assertions on the subject. And so I shall,

A Practical, Practical Work

James White, March 28, 2005, Pastoral Theology

One of the greatest tests for one’s theology is how well it survives the simple application to the everyday Christian life, and how it works in the ministry of the elders in the congregation. Most books today that are “practical” are theologically abhorrent; and not many that are theologically accurate bridge the gap to the practical application in every day

Sola Scriptura and the False Accusation of “Nuda Scriptura”

James White, March 28, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Mr. Enloe has asserted on his blog that I do not hold to a Reformational understanding of sola scriptura. I believe him to be in error, of course, and have asked for examples to substantiate his position. I have spent some time studying the subject, and, in fact, defending the Reformational viewpoint, over the years, so it would be very

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#20)

James White, March 27, 2005, Islam

In their attack upon the Christian scriptures, Saifullah and Azmy began their lengthy citation of Bentley’s work on Sinaiticus by mocking William Campbell’s emotional response upon seeing a in person when it was, at that time (1983) located in the British Museum. I, too, had the opportunity of seeing a, which is now housed in the British Library, and unlike

See! There She Is!

James White, March 26, 2005, Misc

You see her, don’t you? Right there, in the water! It’s Nessie! Yes, this is a shot of Loch Ness, Scotland, and I’m sure I see Nessie right there in the water, don’t you?

A Quick Trip to Mesa

James White, March 26, 2005, Mormonism

I flew back from London last night…I think. Hard to know what time it is, what day it is, etc., at the moment. I took a quick run out to the Mesa Easter Pageant just to say hello. This is the first year since 1984 that I haven’t been there every night (with the exception of those few years where

CNN Strikes Again

James White, March 21, 2005, Misc

There is an important article on the gty.org website. CNN massacred an interview with John Macarthur, once again showing that the MSM (Main Stream Media) wouldn’t know the truth if it walked up and socked them in the nose. Read here.

A Very, Very Brief Response to TGE

James White, March 20, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Despite feeling like I have one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel, I wanted to very, very quickly respond to Mr. Enloe. I had asked him to provide me with what should be fairly easily provided if, in fact, his assertions carry water. Specifically, should he not be able to provide clear examples from my

A Quick Report from the UK

James White, March 20, 2005, Misc

Greetings once again from the UK. I’m afraid in the providence of God I have once more been reminded of my mortality and the frailty of the flesh: despite all my best efforts, being crammed into a tiny space against the bulkhead in an ancient “Super-80” in the back of the plane for three hours with the fellow next to

Nuda Scriptura?

James White, March 18, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Tim Enloe has written on his blog for March 16: Especially as I read some of White’s recent blog posts, I find it exceedingly difficult to imagine having to retract many things I have said about his views on this point. I believe that James White is defending what he honestly believes to be true on this point, but at

Words to Ponder from Jimmy Akin of Catholic Answers

James White, March 18, 2005, Roman Catholicism

Want further evidence of the decline of every form of “Protestantism” that abandons sola scriptura? Jimmy Akin of Catholic Answers noted the Time magazine article(s) on the changing views of Mary in “Protestant” churches, something they are a bit behind the curve on, but hey, they are MSM (MainStream Media) so what do you expect? But note his own words:

Greetings from London!

James White, March 17, 2005, Misc

No, I’m not really sure what day or time it is, to be honest, but so far I have truly enjoyed my time here in the United Kingdom! Getting ready to head to dinner, and tomorrow to the British Library and Museum! Just wanted to say hello (and test my blogging ability here in England)! I hear I need to

Today on the DL

James White, March 15, 2005, The Dividing Line

We lost our server for the first 14 minutes, but ol’ got us back up and running. Pierre, our LDS listener, called in, prompted once again to defend our Arminian friends by yesterday’s program responding to Dr. O’Guin’s attack on “Calvinism.” Always interesting to listen to a discussion with Pierre on soteriological issues, always coming back to sola scriptura.

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#19)

James White, March 15, 2005, Islam

By this point we truly have grounds for questioning the accuracy and purpose of Bentley’s review, and we surely understand why it is found useful by Saifullah and Azmy! The bias goes on, In Matthew’s Gospel Codex Sinaiticus contains another suggestion about Jesus which conflicted with the theological views of later Christians and was therefore suppressed. Speaking (in Matthew chapter

The MusicMatch Jukebox Saga

James White, March 14, 2005, Misc

A few weeks ago I noted that I had to re-install Windows after a motherboard upgrade (Mac cultists enjoyed that a lot). All of my programs are back and happy and everything…except for one. I listen to a LOT of music on my computer, and back about 2002 I purchased the full-bore, life-time upgrade, super-duper version of MusicMatch Jukebox Plus.
