An Absolute Must Read

James White, January 31, 2005, Islam

This article from the New York Sun reminds us of how much we take the freedom to speak the truth about Islam for granted, and how these Muslims hate the gospel of Jesus Christ with a passion most do not begin to understand. The image to the right is part of one of the banners on this website. Note the

Today on Viewpoint with Chuck Crismier: Perseverance of the Saints

James White, January 31, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Just a reminder that I will be back on Chuck Crismier’s Viewpoint program today, 4pm EST. You may recall when I was on back in early December with Dave Hunt. You can still listen to that program, or save it to your system. This is a follow-up with Mr. Crismier himself on the topic of the perseverance of the saints.

The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part III)

James White, January 31, 2005, Roman Catholicism

We continue reviewing Dave Armstrong’s comments on Matthew 23. He continues with a citation from my book, The Roman Catholic Controversy, p. 101, on p. 47 of The Catholic Verses. However, he does not provide some key elements of the material he is citing, so I will provide the paragraph, but will bold what was skipped, or not included, in

For the Palm Geeks Out There

James White, January 29, 2005, Technology

So you all know I use a Palm Tungsten T3. I carry Bible translations, Greek and Hebrew texts, the text for almost all of my books, and lots and lots of resources in .pdf and Repligo formats. I use it as my calendar, my weather station, and yes, I have some really cool games just in case I am stuck

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#12)

James White, January 29, 2005, Islam

We continue with out response to Saifullah and Azmy on the subject of the transmission of the New Testament. It has been a while (15 days to be exact, my apologies) since our last installment. Our Islamic authors are providing a massive string of quotations from James Bentley’s 1986 work, Secrets of Mount Sinai: The Story of Finding the World’s Oldest

Doug Wilson Nails It

James White, January 28, 2005, General Apologetics

Doug Wilson absolutely nails the tactics of the post-modernist style apologists in this blog entry on his website.

Blog Addiction

James White, January 28, 2005, Blog Stuff

Man, when you feel guilty for not having a full new blog article up one day, you have become blog addicted. So, I confess to blog addiction. But I do believe the next six months will break me of my blog addiction. I’m putting together the stack of books I need to master, and to say it is an impressive

And So the Big Announcement Has Been Made

James White, January 27, 2005, The Dividing Line

Thanks for letting us have a little fun with making this announcement. It’s a big one, so we thought it would be neat to get some speculation going. As you know, we announced that John Dominic Crossan will be my debate opponent in Seattle on the 27th of August as part of our Second National Conference. Here are the details.

The Small World of Reformed Apologetics: aka, “I’m standing in the bookstore….”

James White, January 27, 2005, Misc

This is probably one of the strangest stories we’ve heard in channel of late, but also a very encouraging one. One of our semi-regular participants in channel, thisbox71, had quite the experience today. He was at at Border’s bookstore in a city that I will simply say is in a rather large state. Very large. Humungous. So, anyway, thisbox71 sees

1st Annual Evangelical Blog Awards

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

crewbear (one of our channel regulars) posted this link in channel just now. There is a category for “Best Evangelical Blog-Apologetics.” So I think to myself, “Hey, we invest a lot of effort here, and to be honest, do some pretty unique stuff, so, why not throw our hat in the ring? So, if you think this blog worthy of

Today on the Dividing Line

James White, January 26, 2005, The Dividing Line

We started out announcing that tomorrow on the Dividing Line Mike O’Fallon is going to join me to make a massive, huge, uber-sized ANNOUNCEMENT that will thrill, shock, and amaze you all, and force every single one of you who has been sitting on the fence to get OFF the fence and head to Seattle in August for our National

Firing Up the GPS

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

Aren’t GPS devices fascinating? I’ve got a mondo cheapie version, nothing fancy, but it is still amazing how accurate it is. Just the idea of somehow being in “contact” with satellites circling the earth is enough to thrill my inner geek. Why mention this? Well, this little post is sorta like firing up the GPS and getting a “fix” on

A Great Time in LaLa Land

James White, January 26, 2005, Misc

Just a quick note on my trip over to Los Angeles and my time with the folks at Hope Chapel and Stand to Reason. I had a great time and we had a real nice group of folks show up for my presentation on the sufficiency of Scripture. I was a little surprised I was the first person to use

David Cloud Tries to Save Face

James White, January 25, 2005, King James Onlyism

After a while it just gets embarrassing. David Cloud is a fellow I had commended for having the guts to stand up and criticize Gail Riplinger, bringing her wrath upon him many years ago. But since he has joined the anti-Calvinism sniping brigade he has shown himself just as willing to engage in the most egregious forms of false argumentation

The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part II)

James White, January 24, 2005, Roman Catholicism

In the previous installment of this series I provided an introduction and the comments I made in The Roman Catholic Controversy regarding the use of Matthew 23:1-3 by Roman Catholic apologists. Let’s make sure we understand what is required of the Roman Catholic apologist in order to substantiate their claims. First, there needs to be an identifiable oral tradition regarding

Great Debate X: Can Non-Christians Receive Salvation?

James White, January 23, 2005, Roman Catholicism

The Great Debate X will be June 9th. I will be debating Bill Rutland, a lay Catholic apologist, on the topic of salvation as laid out by the modern Roman Catholic Catechism, in particular, in passages such as these: 841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first

The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part I)

James White, January 22, 2005, Roman Catholicism

This will be my final installment in response to Dave Armstrong’s The Catholic Verses. It is not that there are not many more passages that could be addressed, it is just that there is so very little actual exegesis in the book that the real essence of its self-enunciated claim to provide a defense of the Roman Catholic exegesis of

Exegetical Instincts

James White, January 21, 2005, Exegesis

Paul Owen, well known to our readers, has been reviewing Guy Prentiss Waters’ new work, Justification and the New Perspectives on Paul (P&R, 2004). J. Ligon Duncan had spoken with me about this work while I was speaking at the 400th anniversary celebration of the beginning of the translation of the King James Version in Manhattan last year. He then

James White, January 21, 2005, Personal

When you shrink the full size images down, they tend to get dark, so I lightened this one. Feel free to brighten these images once you download them from my blog page, if you wish. Or even darken them. Whatever. Just enjoy them. Also, I just today spied an XML link on my Webshots gallery page, so you might want

Tim Staples Joins the Staff of Catholic Answers

James White, January 21, 2005, Roman Catholicism

As we were working to set up the next debate on Long Island we had contacted Tim Staples about joining the long list of Catholic apologists who have, over the past ten years, engaged in The Great Debate series. We were informed that he was joining the staff of Catholic Answers, and that they wanted him to take a year

A Great New Resource

James White, January 21, 2005, Exegesis

Some friends of mine recently showed me their new copies of A Reader’s Greek New Testament from Zondervan. I was immediately in love. There is nothing more enjoyable than spending some time in the text, just reading, and this particular volume will help all of you who have studied the language through “first year” in the past to pick up

Christ’s Atoning Work: Intent, Extent, Union, Substitution, Ordo Salutis (Part III)

James White, January 21, 2005, Exegesis

With this installment I conclude my response to Dr. Svendsen on the issue of the extent and intention of the atoning work of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Dr. Svendsen expressed what he sees as the most fundamental disagreement between us in these words: Here I think is our most fundamental disagreement. I think this statement assumes something like “the death

Paul: War-Monger for the Truth

James White, January 20, 2005, General Apologetics

The widening influence of a sub-biblical world-view within Christian circles manifests itself in many ways: the diminishing emphasis upon the reality of God’s Word as the certain touchstone of truth; the lack of passion for its study and application; the odd and strange appearance of those who lay claim to the name “Christian” and even “Reformed” and yet who do

TBC Gears Up for The Great Explanation

James White, January 20, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

A little bird just flew past my window and told me that the next Berean Call newsletter will seek to address the “Hebrew original of Acts 15 prophecied by the Dead Sea Scrolls and spoken of by early church writers translated by unnamed scholars so that Acts 13:48 doesn’t support Calvinism” story. If I may offer some predictions: “Dead Sea

Christ’s Atoning Work: Intent, Extent, Union, Substitution, Ordo Salutis (Part II)

James White, January 20, 2005, Exegesis

I continue with the second part of my response to Dr. Eric Svendsen comprising our discussion on the extent and intention of the atoning work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2) Other than the issue of the unity of the work of sacrifice and intercession, the issue of substitution and union with Christ seems the most important difference
