A Blast from the Past, Marian Devotion, the Book of Abraham

James White, January 2, 2025, Debate, Mormonism, Personal, Resources, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

James White, May 30, 2024, Exegesis, Open Theism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Resources, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a video of Roman Catholics singing to a statue of Mary as backdrop to once again explaining that the latria/dulia distinction has no meaning or merit. Then commented quickly on the breaking news of Trump’s conviction in New York, then moved on to comments from Soteriology 101 on election.

Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they were creepy). Talked about Leighton Flowers a bit, and Rich tells

All is Not Quiet on the Western Front!

James White, March 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Resources, Theology Matters

It is good for us to remember that we are not alone in our service to Christ and in the reign of His Kingdom in these dark and difficult days. I have had the great pleasure of ministering in Germany over the years, and in fact 2020 was the first year I had not been able to visit my brethren

Michael Kruger on Whether It Is a Waste of Time to Learn Biblical Languages . . .

Dr. Alan Kurschner, August 20, 2018, Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Pauline Studies, Reformed Baptist Issues, Resources, Textual Issues, Theology Matters

A few weeks ago, a new crop of seminary students began the grueling month-long experience of Summer Greek. And, like all seminary students before them, they will begin to ask the question of why studying these ancient languages even matters. After all, a few years after graduation all will be forgotten. In the midst of a busy pastoral life, who

Major Ministry Project Needs

James White, May 27, 2016, Personal, Resources, Textual Issues

About a decade ago we started the Ministry Resource List. At first it was just an Amazon Wishlist, but eventually, to make sure Caesar was happy, we had to go a different way so as to cross all the demanded t’s and dot all the demanded i’s. In any case, the MRL has been a vital part of my research

Slowly apostatizing from Greek?

Jeff Downs, September 19, 2014, Resources, Uncategorized

I am sure some readers of the Alpha & Omega Ministries blog have started learning Greek and ended up back in their favorite English translation(s). If you’re like me, you have started learning Greek around 45 times and you really want to get back at it again. Well, why not another website to motivate you. Robert Plummer, professor of New

Pastors, Cut Your Sermon Prep Time in HALF! I Am Serious…

Dr. Alan Kurschner, August 18, 2014, Exegesis, Resources, Textual Issues, Uncategorized

I want to piggyback on Michael Kruger’s “You Don’t Think Learning the Biblical Languages is Worth It? Think Again” and add a few comments of my own on the use of Biblical languages for pastors (and anyone who has a desire to learn them). 1. Pastors (I am not one) who actually know how to read the biblical languages (not

Monday Miscellaneous

James White, May 12, 2014, Blog Stuff, Exegesis, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Tackled a tough, challenging section of Hebrews at PRBC on Sunday. NOTE TO ALL ANTI-LORDSHIP, CHEAP-GRACE, NON-REPENTANCE FOLKS: Please note both sermons, but especially the evening sermon. I really tried to give you all the evidence you could possibly need that I am firmly, unalterably OPPOSED to your position and identify it as a fundamental denial of the Gospel. I

Catching Up With Technology

James White, April 29, 2014, Misc, Personal, Resources, Technology

We all know most things we buy in the tech world are planned to become obsolete in a relatively short period of time. It’s a built-in aspect of the market, it seems, but it is also a function of the fact that thankfully, at least in many areas, technology continues to advance and progress. This is a very small ministry,

Two New Systematics (Sproul & Kelly)

Jeff Downs, April 8, 2014, Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Resources

One reason many of you enjoy Alpha and Omega Ministries is because of the clarity of the message. Whether through blog posts, audio, video or books the gospel is clearly proclaimed. As much as possible, theological issues are addressed to the common reader. Or, as one apologist used to say “We need to get the hay out of the loft

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
