Madrid and Stellman: A Parable of Falsehood

James White, December 2, 2014, Uncategorized

I was just scanning through the overnight materials on FB and Twitter (well, overnight here in Ukraine anyway), and came across Patrick Madrid’s announcement of a new book against sola scriptura, based on Yves Congar’s materials on “Tradition.” For those not familiar with the debate, it is the old “material/formal sufficiency” distinction that *some* Roman Catholics have depended on over

Rick Warren Capitulates to Rome

James White, November 27, 2014, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Uncategorized

I wrote up a quick article on FaceBook regarding Rick Warren’s willing cooperation with the white-washing of Rome’s false gospel. His recent video is simply despicable—that is the only term I can use to describe it. The pragmatist has become the ecumenist and the cost is always the same: the gospel itself. Here is the article.

Markan Fragment, Panbenevolence, More of MB’s Opening Statement

James White, November 26, 2014, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a little discussion of Craig Evans’ comments on a yet-to-be-published Markan fragment dated to AD 80; then we spent quite some time on a clip of William Lane Craig responding to a Muslim and the issue of omnibenevolence or, as it is often expressed, panbenevolence; then finished up with all of 90 seconds of Michael Brown’s opening

Oneness Mini Debate/Further Response to Derek Frank

James White, November 24, 2014, The Dividing Line

For years Manuel Culwell has called the Dividing Line. Most of the time, in the past, when we have tried to dialogue, things went south…quickly. Then, a few months ago, we had a fairly controlled discussion, so I suggested then that at some point we choose some texts and discuss them. Well, it took a while, but today Manuel called

Human Rights Campaign, Derek Frank’s Revelations

James White, November 20, 2014, The Dividing Line

Started off with a few cultural items, such as the arrest of the founder of the totally misnamed “Human Rights Campaign,” but then moved to a response to me written by Derek Frank, which took up the rest of the program with issues such as Israel, the church, and the confusion brought into this topic by claims of revelation, words

The Lion Roars…Off Key; JOwen, the Muslims and the TR; Zahndified; Synergism

James White, November 18, 2014, The Dividing Line

Had to do a Jumbo (90 minute) edition of the DL today to fit it all in. First half was all in response to Let the Lion Roar and the accompanying book. Had many things to discuss–can’t say it was overly well organized, but hopefully helpful. Then moved on to a Puritan Board discussion about me and the textual critical issue.

Instant Reaction to Escaping the Great Deception

James White, November 17, 2014, Uncategorized

I received a copy of the new Let the Lion Roar film, together with the accompanying book, from my friend and brother Michael Brown. I wrote up an entire post on FaceBook about my initial (and somewhat unplanned) reaction to the book, and wanted to provide it here: I just received a copy of Let the Lion Roar from my dear

David Gushee abandons a biblical view of homosexuality

James White, November 13, 2014, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Sorry for the very late posting! This program primarily focused upon the comments made by David Gushee in reference to his abandonment of a consistently biblical view of homosexuality, Matthew Vines’ Twitter comments demanding the celebration of homosexuality, and then (switching gears), Austin Fischer and Romans 9. Here is the YouTube link:

James White, November 11, 2014, The Dividing Line

Gave a quick review of my time in New Jersey and New York, then moved on to reading portions of David Gushee’s new book explaining his new found support of homosexualism in the church, and then finished up with some more examination of Austin Fischer’s comments in the Calvinism debate earlier this year.

Dr. Gushee: Your Moral Compass Just Exploded

James White, November 7, 2014, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality

David Gushee is calling upon the Christian church to abandon a belief it has held from its inception. In fact, given that Christians believe God’s truth has been revealed to man from the beginning, we are speaking of a conviction that has been held now for about 3,400 years. Of course, in the minds of the modern generation, that is

Jesus’ Deity – Difference in Function Does Not Indicate Inferiority of Nature

Dr. Alan Kurschner, November 4, 2014, Christian Worldview, Jehovah's Witnesses

There is a frequent assumption that unbelievers have about the Trinity. But if you are aware of this deep assumption by those who deny the deity of Christ, you can disarm them. James White has said: Difference in function does not indicate inferiority of nature. There is a built-in assumption for many that if Jesus possesses a lesser role than

A Live DL from Westbury, New York

James White, November 3, 2014, The Dividing Line

Skype managed to work pretty well for us today as we did a live program from my hotel in Westbury, New York. Chatted about a bunch of things, from Cardinal Burke’s comments about the current Pope through William Lane Craig’s response to an inquiry about the atonement. Managed to get back to Brian Zahnd, and then toward the end of

Big Questions – “Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I find meaning?”

Jeff Downs, October 30, 2014, Uncategorized

“Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I find meaning? Life is full of big questions. The study of philosophy seeks answers to such questions. In his latest book, prolific author Vern Poythress investigates the foundations and limitations of Western philosophy, sketching a distinctly Christian approach to answering basic questions about the nature of humanity, the existence of

Thoughts on Visiting the New Phoenix Arizona LDS Temple

James White, October 29, 2014, Mormonism

And the debate I referred to on temples: Wow, just saw the freeze frame for that one—wooohoo, 2004…height of my Jesse Ventura days. Yikes. Eighty pounds, 54,000 miles of cycling, nearly 3,000,000 meters of rowing ago. Now I’m just a little kindly old goateed man, right?

“Francis & Evolution”

James White, October 29, 2014, The Dividing Line

Last live DL at least for me for a while (unless we can hook up while I am back east with a solid connection). First made some comments on the recent “Francis and Evolution” stuff coming out of Rome. Then got back to Brian Zahnd’s opening comments in the Calvinism debate, and got within I would say about a minute

NJ/NY Trip Details/Examining Carl Lentz on HuffPo

James White, October 27, 2014, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Started off going over the schedule for my New Jersey/New York trip which starts Saturday, and then spent the majority of the rest of the time examining the comments of Pastor Carl Lentz of Hillsong Church New York while being interviewed on HuffPo. Lots of discussion of the purpose of the church, declaring the whole counsel of God, and the

Theology Matters: Graphic Example

James White, October 24, 2014, Uncategorized

Combine a wrathful God, a strict law, capricious forgiveness, no emphasis upon justice and equity and the fulfillment of God’s law as reflected in His nature, with the fatal exclusion of a Mediator who can show us God’s mercy and love and grace in perfection, and here is the result. Few things prove the truth of this more clearly: THEOLOGY

A Twitter Dialogue with Matthew Vines

James White, October 24, 2014, Homosexuality, Theology Matters

It took months, but Matthew Vines and I finally exchanged a series of tweets about my standing invitation to him to debate his claims. It began with someone informing me that I was being mentioned; I then searched for the tweets, and the conversation began: @DrOakley1689 Care to join the conversation? He’s talking about you. . .

Austin Fischer and Calls

James White, October 23, 2014, The Dividing Line

A few topics to start off with and then finished listening to Austin Fischer’s opening statement in the Calvinism debate from a few months ago, then took a call from the infamous Horatio of Georgia. Here is the YouTube link:

The Soft, Kind, Loving Face of Hate

James White, October 22, 2014, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Once the moral and ethical infrastructure of a meaningful worldview based upon our status as creatures of God is removed from the thinking of the human being, a vacuum develops. That vacuum, in today’s radically secularized world, is being filled with mind-numbing mantras uttered in complete disregard for their consistency or truthfulness. A population robbed of its creational foundation is
