Ministry Update

James White, January 1, 2002, Misc

From the Keyboard of James White…. Who could have imagined a year ago how different the world would be with the dawning of 2002! But while the world has changed, God’s truth has not, and so the work of apologetics continues on in the face of ever-expanding challenges. In most of our minds, 2001 was two years: pre-9/11 and post-9/11.

Response to Roman Catholic Scott Hahn on “Once for All” in Hebrews

James White, December 29, 2001, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White explains how Dr. Hahn is an example of an apologist that is able to make an impressive presentation, yet at the same time has very problematic argumentation. Exegesis of the passage shows that the “once for all” of Hebrews 7:27 must be talking about the completed work of Christ that replaces repetitious sacrifices of priests, and can not be talking

John Chapter 6 Translation and Commentary

James White, December 27, 2001, Exegesis

In our constant attempt to meet the needs of the Christian community for sound theological material, we are making available this translation and commentary on the sixth chapter of John. Our reasons for doing so are to bring the powerful light of Scripture to bear upon two rather distinct issues. First, Jesus’ words in John 6 are vital for our

The Evolution of Mormon Theology

James White, December 27, 2001, Mormonism

Is the teaching of the LDS Church today consistent with that of the early 1830’s? If the Mormon Church’s claim to be the “only true church on earth today” is to be believed, one would expect consistency in teaching from the beginning until today. However, based on the earliest works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (then

The Prologue of the Gospel of John

James White, December 27, 2001, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism

Chapter 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was Deity. This verse provides the framework not only for the prologue that encompasses verses one through eighteen, but for the entire Gospel itself. The prologue functions, I believe, as an “interpretive window” for the entire Gospel. John means us to read

Why I Left The Roman Catholic Church

Benny Diaz, December 27, 2001, Roman Catholicism

(Part I) In October of 1981, while visiting a friend in the hospital, I was confronted with the question, “Are you a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Word at God?” I was also asked, “Would you like to invite the Lord Jesus in your heart to save you and to give you eternal life?”

Eternal Security: Based in the Tri-Unity of God

James White, December 27, 2001, Theology Matters

I remember passing notes with a friend of mine in high school. We were debating that age old doctrine of eternal security. He didn’t believe in it, and I did. A few months ago, while cleaning out one of those old drawers that you haven’t opened in about ten years, I found one of those notes. I had to chuckle

Many Gods, Many Lords

“As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there

Karl Keating’s Response to Eric Svenson and the State of Roman Catholic Apologetics

James White, December 22, 2001, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

James observes that both the Catholic Karl Keating and the Protestant Dave Hunt reject the Reformed Doctrines of Grace with the same argumentation. He then demonstrates that Keating does not accurately represent Svensson’s argument, and also exaggerates the quality of the performance of Roman Catholics apologists in their debates with Protestants, and exaggerates their willingness to do more direct interaction.

Erasmus of Rotterdam: His New Testament and its Importance

James White, December 21, 2001, King James Onlyism

Europe of 1516 presented quite a world of contrasts. Superstition still ruled many people’s minds, yet men of great scholarship and insight were to be found in every nation. Great political struggles were taking place, struggles which would soon give form and outline to the Europe of today. Nationalism was on the rise, and the papacy on the decline. Heretics

KJV Onlyism Revisited: Separating Fact from Fiction, Part 3 – Gail Riplinger “Logic.”

James White, December 8, 2001, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

The program starts with an interesting five minute clip from Gail Riplinger as an example especially fallacious argumentation, and continues to explain the presuppositions of KJOnlyists that lead to seemingly irrational apologetics from them, and point out more problems with their position, from with the view that the best antidote to KJOnlyism is learning the truth of God did preserve

KJV Onlyism Revisited:Separating Fact from Fiction Part 2 – Text Type History

James White, November 24, 2001, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

James White explains how textual criticism works in order to show that there is no conspiracy to suppress the true Scriptures, rather scholarship has merely improved over the centuries since the KJV was produced. The program also includes the history behind textual criticism, and the simple point that all text types contain the same Christian doctrine anyway.

KJV Onlyism Revisited:Separating Fact from Fiction, Part 1 – – How Translation Works

James White, November 17, 2001, King James Onlyism, The Dividing Line

While the emphatic claims of KJOnly preachers might sound like they have merit when information is selectively presented and when the KVJ is assumed to be ultimate standard, the conspiracy theories that modern translations have removed precious material from Scripture can be explained by understanding textual or translational issues. Dr. White also clears up confusion with text types – a
