An Open Letter to Harold Camping of Family Radio

James White, May 23, 2011, General Apologetics

On Open Letter to Harold Camping of Family Radio Dear Mr. Camping: In July of 2009 you and I engaged in a debate on the Iron Sharpens Iron radio program concerning your teaching that the church age had ended and that Christ would return on May 21, 2011. I trust you recall our exchange. I am also aware that you

The Suffering Servant, Part 2

Where is the Promise of Christ’s Coming?

TurretinFan, May 23, 2011, Theology Matters

One of the key passages regarding the second coming of Christ is found in 2 Peter 3:1-18 (the entirety of chapter 3 of 2 Peter). First, let me provide you with the text of the chapter, and then my commentary on it. 2 Peter 3:1-18 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up

This Does Not Bring God’s Wrath, It IS God’s Wrath

James White, May 21, 2011, Post-Evangelicalism

According to this article, a recent Gallup poll, for the first time, shows a majority (53%) of Americans supporting the legalization of “same-sex marriage,” i.e., they support the radical redefinition of marriage (though, of course, the question was not asked in that logical, historical, or moral form). According to the information published in that article, when the question was first

Angel Weighs in on #RaptureFail

And So…Nothing Happened

James White, May 21, 2011, Simply Silly

As of the time of the posting of this article, Harold Camping has been proven a false prophet (again). Why? Because it is now 7pm standard time (yes, I remembered to factor in the daylight savings thing) in Guam, one of the first places on earth to experience the time of the “rapture” that Camping has predicted as a guaranteed

A Little Camping, A Little Islam, A Little of Everything…

James White, May 19, 2011, The Dividing Line

Wide ranging discussion today, but at the end of the show Abdullah Kunde called in to talk about….Harold Camping. Can you believe it? Only on the Dividing Line!

I Remember Mr. Camping

James Swan, May 18, 2011, General Apologetics

A few days ago Dr. White mentioned some NPR broadcasts commenting on Harold Camping. These brief clips can be found here: Is The End Nigh? We’ll Know Soon Enough Divining Doomsday: An Old Practice With New Tricks I’ve been following the Harold Camping situation closely. In my area, Family Radio has had a large presence. I can never recall a time when

Harold Camping Like Rome

James White, May 18, 2011, General Apologetics

I was listening to Camping’s Open Forum program tonight. I was struck by two callers. One called to ask about 1 Corinthians 15:28, “When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.” Camping’s reply was that he

Does the Bible Guarantee Camping’s Prediction?

TurretinFan, May 18, 2011, Theology Matters

Harold Camping has widely asserted that “the Bible guarantees” his prediction regarding the end times. This invites us to us examine his Biblical claims. One large chunk of the basis for Harold Camping’s claims with respect to May 21, 2011, is that 2011 is allegedly 7000 years from the flood. Camping’s date for the flood is unique and springs from

Camping Rained Out by Flood

TurretinFan, May 17, 2011, Theology Matters

One of the key items in Harold Camping’s interpretation that leads him to conclude that 2011 is the last year is that the flood was in 4990 B.C. and that A.D. 2011 is “exactly” 7000 years later. That 7000 years number is important to Camping, because at one point God said to Noah, “For yet seven days, … and every

Several Great Calls

James White, May 17, 2011, The Dividing Line

You never know when a program is going to take off…but this one sure did. Went fifteen minutes long, too, just to get all the calls in. So…started off with the announcement that the Great Evangelical Cover Up continues on with the hiring of Ergun “I was born in Istanbul and trained in jihad and came to the United States

One Biblical Reason Why Judgment Day is Not on May 21

Dr. Alan Kurschner, May 17, 2011, Persecution

The apostle Paul in his first Thessalonians’ correspondence provides a sign-condition that must exist in the world before the day of the Lord’s judgment: the ungodly will be saying, “There is peace and security.” But look around…it is not the case. The opposite is true today. The ungodly are saying, “There is unrest and insecurity.” Therefore, according to the apostle

Genesis 19: Sodom and Gomorrah Revisited

I meant to post this last week, but simply kept forgetting! I filled in for my fellow elder Sunday evening on short notice, and addressed the issue of the meaning of Genesis 19:

Some Thoughts on the End of the World

James White, May 14, 2011, Simply Silly

Can you imagine what it will be like for Campingites around the world a week from today? Listening to the news, waiting to hear about earthquakes at 6pm all around the world? Maybe saying goodbye to loved ones? Giving away personal items, all the time, wondering…. I listened to two NPR reports on Camping’s prophecy today, and it was truly

It is Prime Riding Time in the Sonoran Desert

James White, May 14, 2011, Personal

I can feel the heat coming on. My outside thermometer reads 102.4 right now. Supposed to have a nice cool down on Monday through Wednesday, but still, the desert summer is knocking on my door. As it was, I got up at 3:45am to ride this morning, and that will become all the more necessary over the next four months

Dr. Michael Brown and A Queer Thing Happened to America

James White, May 12, 2011, The Dividing Line

My sincere thanks to my good friend and brother, Michael Brown, for giving us over an hour of his time today to discuss his new book, A Queer Thing Happened to America, which is available in our Amazon bookstore, here. Please take the time to listen to this interview and consider the issues it raises. This is one of the

A Truly Lopsided Debate

James White, May 9, 2011, The Dividing Line

I was left without words a dozen times as I listened to Michael Brown dismantle Dr. Eric Smaw (Dr. Smaw assisted in the dismantling) in a recent (April 21) debate on the redefinition of marriage. Spent the whole hour listening to the rebuttals and cross examination today on the program. Don’t forget that Dr. Brown will be joining me on

Jimmy Akin: The Immaculate Conception has to be Read into Luke 1:28

James Swan, May 9, 2011, Roman Catholicism

Roman Catholic Apologetics never ceases to amaze. For years I’ve read through (or listened to) explanations of Luke 1:28 (And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you“). A typical Roman Catholic explanation would hold the Greek word kecharitomene means an “indication of an unparalleled grace given by God to our Lady: She was

Guessing About God: Mormonism’s Inability to Resist the Onslaught of Modernistic Skepticism (Part 10–Final Installment!)

James White, May 9, 2011, Mormonism

One aspect of that scriptural heritage that Christianity cannot shake is the identification of several divine beings as gods (Gen 6:2, 4; Deut 32:43 ; Ps 29:1; 89:7; Ps 97:7, among dozens of others). There are even divine beings called the sons of God. Other literature is in agreement. In the Dead Sea Scrolls angels are repeatedly called gods

Dividing Line Day Change: Moving to Monday

James White, May 8, 2011, The Dividing Line

James White, May 6, 2011, Mormonism

This is the ninth in a series of replies I am providing to a blog article (linked numerous times before) by Daniel McClellan. This has grown to proportions I never expected when I first decided to respond to it, but it remains my hope that it has value for those dealing with the new generation of Mormon apologists.

Analysis of Minnesota Representative’s Comments

James White, May 5, 2011, The Dividing Line

I took the first portion of the program to analyze the comments made by Minnesota Representative Steve Simon that have become widely distributed over the last few days. Then I began playing some portions of the recent debate between Dr. Smaw and Dr. Michael Brown. Here, also, is the video of the first portion of the program:

Guessing About God: Mormonism’s Inability to Resist the Onslaught of Modernistic Skepticism (Part 8)

James White, May 4, 2011, Mormonism

I here continue my response to Daniel McClellan’s April 8th article. I’ll now turn to his actual argument. I’m going to largely avoid addressing specific claims about Mormon beliefs that are brought up by James with varying degrees of accuracy only for shock value. Such rhetoric really doesn’t make a real point and doesn’t merit a response. Mr. McClellan’s words
