A Quick Word on the Current Controversy

James White, December 17, 2015, Islam

I saw this coming, which is why I commented recently on whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The Qur’an, in a fashion, says yes: And say, “We believe in that which was sent down unto us and was sent down unto you; our God and your God are one, and unto Him are we submitters.” Q 29:46 But

A One Hour Forty Minute Start to My Response to Wael Ibrahim on the Trinity

James White, December 17, 2015, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Began a hopefully respectful, helpful review of the arguments and claims of Muslim speaker Wael Ibrahim in a recent debate on the Trinity in Hong Kong. Wael seems like a really nice man, has a very winning personality and approach, so reviewing his position should be very helpful to all who wish a deeper knowledge of the Trinity and who

“White has lost the capacity to argue in good faith”

James White, December 10, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam, Simply Silly

Steve Hays of Triablogue has decided to go full tilt attack mode. Fine. I had hoped to avoid taking him on but he clearly is not interested in that. I will be brief, but the accusations of self-contradiction (when it is Mr. Hays who is sorely lacking in his understanding both of Islam and who cannot seem to recognize when

Today’s Document from the Vatican on the Covenants and Putting the Shoe on the Other Foot

James White, December 10, 2015, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

The Vatican released a new document today on Jewish/Christian relationship and the Old and New Covenants (found here). It is a lengthy, verbose testimony to the maxim, “Theology Matters” and a very eloquent witness to the necessity of sola scriptura. Then I addressed “putting the shoe on the other foot,” specifically, how we Christians are oh so properly skeptical about religious

I Really TRIED to Talk About Other Stuff, But…Eventually…

James White, December 8, 2015, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Technology, The Dividing Line

I seriously did start off with the Calvin College story on gay marriage and tried to address a few other topics, but look—when you have folks accusing me of going “soft” on Islam, and have folks saying I’ve gotten too “friendly,” what did you expect? I addressed the topic. For about an hour of today’s 90 minute program—and I still

Facebook Insanity

James White, December 6, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam

I just finished a wonderful weekend teaching on the subject of homosexuality, marriage, and the Christian response to the current melt-down of Western culture on these issues at one of my favorite churches in the US, Covenant of Grace Church in St. Charles, Missouri. We had folks travel from all over to join with us, so it was a great

Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)

James White, December 2, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line

Spent the first 70 minutes or so contrasting two videos on Islam, one from Talk Islam decrying the violence in Paris, the other the newest ISIS promo video which I call “ISIS Hollywood.” Lots of discussion of sources, interpretation, etc., especially in light of the ridiculous accusation that honestly recognizing differences amongst Muslims makes you “soft” on Islam. Then toward

Numerous Topics Eventually Leading to a Return to the Brownson/Homosexuality Discussion

James White, November 3, 2015, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Wandered about a good bit on a number of topics, including interacting directly with a Muslim on Twitter who simply cannot (or will not) understand the necessity of consistency and avoiding double standards in debate at the start of the program today. Though I didn’t get to the Ehrman/Bass debate, I still ended up taking nearly 15 minutes talking about

Debate Report Including Gagnon/Kirk Encounter

James White, October 20, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Islam, The Dividing Line

Did a jumbo edition of the DL today reporting on my trip to South Africa along with my attendance at the Gagnon/Kirk debate on homosexuality. Spent nearly the first hour on the homosexuality topic (interspersed with comments about South African Rooibus Tea) and then moved on to the Muslim debates in the last half hour. Here is the YouTube link:

Some Thoughts on South Africa While Fresh on the Mind

James White, October 16, 2015, Homosexuality, Islam

Of course, my mind isn’t very fresh as I sit at Heathrow airport in London after the overnight flight from Johannesburg (everyone calls it JoBurg). In fact, I was so tired upon arriving that I “slipped” while shaving and took a very noticeable chunk out of my beard along the thin portion…so much so I just shrugged and took the

Ahmed Deedat on the Deity of Christ

James White, October 5, 2015, Islam, The Dividing Line

In light of one of my upcoming debates in South Africa next week I took the time to review one of the audience questions from the talk upon which our debate will be based, “Is Jesus God?” Of course, in the course of an hour, we covered a lot more than that. Hopefully helpful information for sharing with our Muslim

James White, August 18, 2015, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

What is between a jumbo DL and a mega DL? I don’t know either, but here it is…right at an hour and fifty minutes in length, today’s DL will keep you busy looking up references and following the arguments! Took the time today to respond to some statements made by Dr. Shabir Ally in a recent debate he did, focusing

The Birmingham Qur’an, Bart Ehrman, Equal Scales, and the Biblical Text of the London Confession

James White, July 28, 2015, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Quite a range of things on a Jumbo (90 minute) DL today: started out on the new Qur’an fragments, the big story while I was away from Phoenix. Discussed Bart Ehrman’s less-than-unbiased commentary, and finished up with a discussion of whether I am violating my own confession of faith by not using the TR. Included some, shall we say, straightforward

A Mega Size Dividing Line: Matthew Vines, NT Wright, Yusuf Ismail, and More

James White, July 14, 2015, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Going almost a full two hours today was pretty easy, given how much I needed to catch up on! Did nearly a full hour on Matthew Vines’ comments about me from a recent Google video, then played a clip from NT Wright on predestination and election, then I addressed my Muslim friends, and finished up going back to the issue

Street Preaching the Gospel to Muslims in Birmingham England

Dr. Alan Kurschner, June 24, 2015, Islam, Uncategorized

Robert Parker shares his recent street-preaching trip to England. Just a quick break down of my mission trip to Birmingham England. Statistics say more children are born to Islam than Christianity in Birmingham England. A team of preachers and myself across the states and England was led by Dale Mcalpine. We had a great opportunity to preach the gospel in

Thoughts on the Dr. Drew Show, ESPN’s Shame, and Continuing with Anjem Choudary

James White, June 4, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Discussed my experience daring to commit heresy in the courtyard of the High Temple of Secularism (aka, on national media) by even mentioning the lordship of Jesus, briefly commented on the disgusting, reprehensible, immoral act of ESPN in giving Bruce Jenner an award for bravery and courage. Then made a few comments about David Barron’s “misrepresentation” complaint, and got back

Lots of Things to Interest a Wide Variety of Folks

James White, April 17, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Gave a brief report on my trip to Spain (having gotten home late last evening) and then spent time discussing Marco Rubio’s comments on attending a ceremony wherein marriage is profaned and blasphemed. Then we looked at an article by Roger Olson demonstrating that anti-Reformed sentiment leads many to reject God’s right to define Himself, and His own goodness. Then

Theology Matters at Gate A24

James White, March 20, 2015, Christian Worldview, Islam

When I hear of the death of my fellow believers at the hands of Muslim militants around the world, I mourn for them, their families, their loved ones. But I know they are safe in the hands of the powerful Savior, for whose name they have given their brief lives, and in whose presence they now rejoice. I sat down

Synoptic Parallels Examined Seriously/Devin Rose and Roman Catholic Apologetics Today

James White, February 24, 2015, Exegesis, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Two main topics on the program today: first, we looked at a claim made by Zakir Hussain in a recent debate regarding, once again, the raising of Jairus’ daughter, as recorded by Matthew and Luke. Then we started looking at Devin Rose’s response to our review of some comments from his Catholic Answers Live interview. I must confess, I was

Thoughts on ISIS, Muhammad, Islam, and FaceBook Comments

James White, February 17, 2015, Islam, The Dividing Line

My article from yesterday garnered a lot of response, much of which I found highly disturbing. We talked about the issues raised by recent ISIS atrocities. Here is the YouTube link:

A Wide-Ranging, Important, Jumbo-Sized Dividing Line!

James White, January 8, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Persecution, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off commenting on a number of issues, such as the anti-Christian discrimination of the Mayor of Atlanta. Discussed the radical Muslim murders in Paris, seeking once again to ask my serious Muslim friends to consider what it is about their faith that allows such things (it’s a spiritual issue—can Islam address it?), and I briefly responded to Jason Stellman

When You Get to Stand Where Ahmed Deedat Stood…

James White, October 10, 2014, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

When you are the first Christian to ever speak in the Juma Masjid Mosque on Grey Street in Durban, South Africa—the home mosque of Ahmed Deedat—what do you say? Well, the topic of the debate pretty much determined that, but thankfully I got to spend half an hour presenting the majesty and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Well, here’s

James White, July 22, 2014, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a discussion of President Obama’s recent actions promoting ungodliness in the land, then discussed the recent WHO guidelines demonstrating that homosexuality is unnatural and devastating to human flourishing. Discussed briefly the upcoming preaching by Ergun Caner at First Baptist Woodstock, and gave some guidelines to anyone who will be attending. Then we moved on to talk about

Responding to Dawah is Easy While Waiting for No Call

James White, June 25, 2014, Islam, The Dividing Line

Well, William said he was going to call, but must have been hindered from doing so for some reason, so we started responding to the Dawah is Easy video, and ended up doing the whole hour on practical stuff in witnessing to not only Muslims but Mormons and JW’s and others. Folks watching live said it was helpful, so, I

Can a Non-Marriage Experience Divorce? And Ergun Caner on Mormonism

James White, May 6, 2014, Homosexuality, Islam, The Dividing Line

Started off with a bit of a discussion on Eugene Robinson’s “divorce” and how a non-marriage’s “divorce” cannot be viewed in the same way as a true marriage’s end. Then we moved on to listen to Ergun Caner, from 2005, absolutely destroy Mormonism—not in a proper apologetic fashion, but by his own unique style of ridiculous and errant assertion and misrepresentation.

The Ergun Caner Affair – One Assembly of the Evidence

TurretinFan, March 4, 2014, Islam, Resources

The Ergun Caner affair saddens me deeply. Dr. Caner is an excellent orator. He has great delivery – great timing – and he knows how to get a laugh. I had hoped that the investigations made of Dr. Caner’s alleged autobiographical embellishments would lead Dr. Caner to confess that he had sinned, to repent of that sin, and to try
