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.

For the Founders Conference Sermons on Scriptural Sufficiency

James White, March 14, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

I mentioned I would provide the link by which you can obtain the sermons from the Midwest Founders Conference, and here it is.

Radio Free Geneva Airs!

James White, March 14, 2005, The Dividing Line

Today’s special “Radio Free Geneva,” providing an extended response to Dr. Danny O’Guin on the subject of his blatantly misrepresentational attack upon “Calvinism,” is available here. I hope Dr. O’Guin will likewise listen!

Radio Free Geneva: A Special DL Tomorrow!

James White, March 13, 2005, The Dividing Line

I am collecting “The Worst of the Worst.” And I am going to start responding to them tomorrow in a special DL that will go an extra 15 minutes as well (we can cram that onto a single CD). Worst of what? The Worst of Anti-Calvinism. I was handed a stack of tapes this past week, and made the mistake

To One on the Way to Antioch (II)

James White, March 13, 2005, General Apologetics

I have often thought back, with a smile and the feeling of incredulity, at the scene which unfolded in Denver, Colorado in 1993. It was the second night of the debate on the Papacy with Gerry Matatics. Gerry was really scrambling. He had never been hit with so many patristic citations in his life, that was obvious. During the break

FireFox Update Messing with the Page

James White, March 12, 2005, Misc

We do not know why the newest update of FireFox (1.0.1) has decided to completely mess up the margins on this blog. Everything worked just fine in 1.0.0, and still works fine in IE. We’ve had our “geeks” look it over. We changed nothing, it is something in FireFox itself. I love FireFox, but it is a bit annoying when

To One on the Way to Antioch

James White, March 12, 2005, General Apologetics

At the Midwest Founders Conference this past week we were blessed by the “Ark Singers,” a group from the Ukraine. Great guys. I got to sit down with them at one point just to chat. I was not surprised in the least when they told of how very hard it is for them to evanglize amongst the Russian Orthodox in

A Brand New Offer

James White, March 11, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

We’ve done a few things like this in the past, and probably need to do them more often. If you glance over to the right you’ll see a link that says “The Defending Calvinism Value Pack” (sounds a bit like something you would buy at a hardware store to apply to your lawn to keep Calvinists off). It consists of

On the DL Today

James White, March 10, 2005, The Dividing Line

Many thanks to the inventers of Ibuprofen I managed to make it through the DL today with the help of some good callers. Also gave a brief report on the trip to St. Louis. Here’s the program.

Back from St. Louis

James White, March 10, 2005, Misc

Just a quick note: the Dividing Line will be live this afternoon, Lord willing. Whether I will be overly alive, or lively, is another issue. Half a night’s sleep and a 3 hour plane ride doesn’t help the ol’ brain work well. Anyway, when we landed, the flight attendant (I was going to put “stewardess” but that would have really

Founders Conference St. Louis

James White, March 8, 2005, Misc

Just back from a great evening with all the fine folks at the Founders Conference. Preached as best I know how, then did Q&A for, I think, two hours or so. Maybe less, maybe more, I’ve lost all track of time at the moment. Just a wonderful evening with great men and women of God.

How the KJV Tripped up Mormon Leaders

James White, March 8, 2005, Mormonism

Gotta give the ol’ KJV credit. It tripped up the leaders of the LDS Church, way back when. Of course, today, modern Mormons might not care too much about how their original leaders were so ignorant of the Bible that they could make truly amazing mistakes, but anyone who seriously thinks these men were prophets of God in any meaningfully

Pots on the Potter

James White, March 8, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

I have often noted the fact that most Christian’s theology, as reflected by their prayers, is a lot better than their theology reflected in their words. When one bows in humble worship and focuses upon the Triune Majesty of God, one’s mouth will not, normally, be filled with the praises of the creature. Calvin well said in the Institutes, III:1.4,

A Note About the KJSL Program

James White, March 7, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

Tim Berends called right toward the end of the DL today and from what Rich tells me, he wasn’t a happy camper about the article I posted about the interview aka debate on KJSL last week. Evidently, he feels I need to retract the piece because 1) Jerry Thornburgh was not on the hour after I was on unopposed, and

Discussed the False Teaching of Harold Camping then Calls

James White, March 7, 2005, The Dividing Line

Today on the special Monday edition of the DL: First 40 minutes we reviewed some more of Camping’s false teachings, and warned about his followers seeking to attack Christ’s Church. Then took a great call on John 3:5. Don’t forget, Lord willing, we will have the regular Thursday program.

From the Mail Bag

James White, March 6, 2005, Mail Bag

So we do get lots of e-mail. Can’t even answer all of it. But I thought it would be wise to answer some of it here on the blog so as to benefit a larger audience, so, here’s something from today’s Mail Bag! Dear James R. White, Regarding John 20:28 Mr. Al Kadhi brings up a case of discrepancy between

The Old and the New Meet in the Universal Catholic Catechism

James White, March 5, 2005, Roman Catholicism

I was looking up a reference in the CCC today and happened upon the following two sections: 1114: “Adhering to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, to the apostolic traditions, and to the consensus . . . of the Fathers,” we profess that “the sacraments of the new law were . . . all instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Faith In Gods and Generals from Solid Ground Christian Books

James White, March 4, 2005, Misc

I just got an e-mail from our good friends at Solid Ground Christian Books advertising a half-price sale on the companion book to Gods and Generals, a great deal at only $12.50. I don’t know how big Solid Ground’s e-mail list is, but I thought I’d let our folks know about such a great offer. Here it is.

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#18)

James White, March 4, 2005, Islam

Immediately after misrepresenting Sinaiticus through misrepresenting the textual variant, Bentley then simply misrepresents it by gross and unexplainable error. He begins a section where he is alleging purposeful editing of the text of a by scribes for theological reasons. He rightly notes that Westcott and Hort and Tischendorf continued to hold a high view of Scripture, and quotes W&H as

Harold Camping: Heretical Attacker of Christ’s People

James White, March 4, 2005, Exegesis

I made a mistake tonight. I hit the FM button on my car radio and accidentally tuned in Harold Camping. I haven’t listened to him for many months, and my blood pressure and over-all health has benefited greatly. But there he was, and the first call I heard enraged me. The caller first asked about “fasting.” I was unaware that

Next Week’s DL Schedule

James White, March 3, 2005, The Dividing Line

I just checked my flight schedule and I will indeed miss Tuesday’s DL time, so, unless Rich has an objection I don’t know about, I’d like to move Tuesday’s DL to Monday, 1pm EST, 10am PST. I want to play some clips (see the next entry when it is posted) and don’t want to put it off till Thursday.

More Calls Today: Calvinism, Catholicism, Greek, Exegesis

James White, March 3, 2005, The Dividing Line

We went 8 minutes long today to get them all in. Calls covered a broad range from issues relating to Calvinism, Catholicism, Greek, exegesis, etc. Great callers!

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#17)

James White, March 3, 2005, Islam

My apologies for the time since I last continued the examination of Saifullah & Azmy’s article on the transmission of the text of the New Testament, and in particular, at this point, seventeen articles in, their lengthy citation of Bentley’s Secrets of Mount Sinai regarding Codex Sinaiticus (a). Life, at times, is so very distracting! Once again we encounter a

And the Last Word…

James White, March 2, 2005, Exegesis

It is fairly clear “Mr. Holding” (not his real name) has a lot of time on his hands. Long, rambling, insult-filled responses have already been posted on his site. Feel free, if you wish to abuse your sensibilities, to peruse them. I could only sit and read with a bemused awe as this man, a librarian (M.L.S.) seeks to impress

The Arminian Wake Up Call

James White, March 2, 2005, Reformed Apologetics

I sorta stumbled into my office this morning, doing my best to get the brain working before a 7:15am radio program. I’ve become a bit of a night-owl, as I can get a lot more done in the late hours than in the morning hours, seemingly (fewer distractions, and the phone goes silent!). Anyway, I was on with Tim and

Quick Note!

James White, March 2, 2005, Misc

I’m doing two radio programs today (March 2nd): 8:15am CST on KJSL with Tim and Al on Calvinism, and then 2:05pm EST on “Engaging Your World” on WVNE. You can listen here, at least I hope, to the second program, which will discuss either my Scriptural sufficiency work, or the KJV Only issue, or both. Sometimes I really don’t know
