Atheist John Loftus has the following argument against Christianity. I don’t bring it up because Loftus is any kind of a genius of argumentation, but because we see this same argument in various forms from various atheists. Here is the argument: If God is perfectly good, all knowing, and all powerful, then the issue of why there is so much

   SillyBrit1 sent me a link to this article on the possible finding of the most ancient example of Hebrew thus far known. It will be interesting to see if this find pans out and is established by further research.

Thanks be to the Lord, we have completed arrangements for the debates in London (still a few other items to arrange, but the major stuff is done). I am providing it as quickly as possible: Tuesday, November 11th 7:30PM “Does Belief in the Trinity Necessitate Shirk?” Adnan Rashid vs. James White Location: Westbourne Park Baptist Church, Porchester Rd, London, W2

Back in March of 2007 on The Dividing Line (here is the program) I addressed the dialogue that took place between Ergun Caner of Liberty University and the so-called “Rational Response Squad.” I had listened to the encounter while riding, and I wanted to make some comments not so much on Caner’s replies but on some of the claims made

   I just received an e-mail that quoted Rook Hawkins of the “Rational Response Squad” as saying the following: “RationalResponders.com: White was supposed to contact me ages ago about a debate and he chickened out.”    I would like to make it clear that Mr. Hawkins has never contacted me about a debate, hence, I can not “chicken out” of a debate

Chris Arnzen hosts the daily radio show, Iron Sharpens Iron. Each day, Chris presents an hour long interview on topics that are important to Christians: Roman Catholicism “How do you know your private interpretation of the Bible is correct over against the private interpretation of every other denomination?” “How can you be certain that you are in the truth since

Some might wonder how the above names fit together. Simple enough. These men and some of their views are addressed in the new editions of the Ordained Servant and New Horizons magazines (productions of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church). Click here to check out either one. Two articles in particular that I would point out are: The Witness of Scripture to

The audio for the Santa Fe Conference on Biblical Discernment, recently mentioned here, is now available online for you to download. Click here to listen to the following: “Reliability of the New Testament Documents”, Dr. James White “Examining Mormon Proof Texts”, Bill McKeever “FAQ About the Faith Movement”, Rob Bowman “Reasoning From the Scriptures with the Jehovah’s Witnesses”, Ron Rhodes

   Here is part 2 of the debate from 1999 on the Trinity.

While we have made this debate available in audio format for almost a decade, this is the first time we’ve made it available in video format. The quality is far below our normal video recording (single video camera, poor lighting, etc.), but it is still usable. In fact, you can see the text on the screen as I used PowerPoint

This week marks the two year anniversary of Chris Arnzen’s Iron Sharpens Iron radio show. Congratulations Chris! To commemorate this longevity, Chris invited back his very first guest, Dr. James White. Dr. White addresed the theme, “Pulpit Crimes: The Criminal Mishandling of God’s Word.”    Other recent shows addressed the topic of Islam. Chris had a two day debate / discussion

   The face of apologetics is changing (I should know, I’ve watched Dr. White’s beard grow with my own two eyes). As a generation that is being taught it is impossible to know anything for certain, one of the most recent attacks upon Christianity has been launched, packaged, and peddled to my peers brilliantly.If you are unaware of the movie Zeitgeist,

   I announced a few weeks ago plans to get to London in November for some exciting debates, preaching, and even an opportunity to get to Speaker’s Corner. Since I am in essence inviting myself, rather than responding to an invitation from the kind brothers and sisters in London, I truly want to make sure that they are in no way

   Though this video is a little longer than normal (20 minutes), you will note that after examining Isaiah 29, I provide some video from a Speaker’s Corner debate that should be most interesting to our readers.

   One of the regular questions I receive from believers is, “Where do I find resources to do the kind of study I need to do to answer in-depth apologetic questions?” With the “data fog” we exist in today (i.e., tons and tons of information, so much so that we struggle to keep up with it all), it can be difficult

···I am in Houston speaking for Grace Reformed Baptist Church (what a great fellowship!). I decided to use my little Casio Exilim to record the sessions now that I can post videos longer than 10:59 on YouTube. So far the first two nights are available, and I will be posting the next two evenings as time allows. I have placed

Today on Iron Sharpens Iron, Chris Arnzen will be interviewing Ravi Zacharias, internationally renowned Evangelical Christian apologist, author, radio evangelist and founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. He will address the theme of his book, New Birth or Rebirth? Jesus Talks with Krishna. Listen to the show live today, 3 – 4 P.M. (Eastern Standard

Yesterday afternoon I had the privilege of participating in my first debate. Was this something I wanted to do? Not really, but I was coerced 🙂 by the president of GPTS to do so. The debate was for the spring 2008 logic course. And since I was auditing the class, I wasn’t going to debate a topic I had to

   I truly wonder what many of my Muslim friends think when they see this kind of stuff. Another anti-Christian work of absurd fiction, brought to you by folks who do movies about Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, and Bigfoot (I’m being perfectly serious), is about to show up on movie screens across the US. For those who call this a

   Despite the best efforts of many of my opponents, the record actually indicates that I am, in fact, human….

   There are few programs that have had me on as often as “Issues, Etc.” with Todd Wilkins, produced by Jeff Schwarz. Today, the program was rather unceremoniously axed, and basically all evidence of its existence deleted. Given that I have greatly benefitted from the program, I would like to encourage others who have likewise been blessed by it to express

   For folks on the run!

   This coming Friday night/Saturday morning I will be the guest on the apologetics.com radio program on KKLA with Lindsay Brooks. My daughter, Summer, joined us for the first half hour to talk about her experience last semester with Dr. Carter. Then we pretty well wandered about the apologetic landscape! We pre-recorded the program since…it airs between midnight and 2am! Maybe

   There is probably no more pressing apologetic concern than the constant attacks upon the veracity and integrity of the text of Scripture. And no one is more central in the current attacks upon the New Testament than the chair of the department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, author of The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture and the

   In the New York area, only one radio show dares to address relevant topics important to Christians. Chris Arnzen’s Iron Sharpens Iron is a live daily broadcast featuring a variety of topics, guests and controversial issues.        For those you with basic questions about Calvinism, a recent show featured a Pastor’s roundtable discussing the basics. For those of you beyond

   A channel regular mentioned I might want to fix up my YouTube page, which I honestly did not know I even had, so I took a few moments to do so today. Once I upload the next video blog (which is converting formats even as I type this), I’ll have 59 videos posted, with, Lord willing, lots more coming. It
