Three Old Titles Become New Again on Kindle – Updated

Rich Pierce, July 11, 2016, Roman Catholicism, Theology Matters

Every now and then I get a phone call from someone wanting to find one of James’ first three books in our bookstore. These titles have been out of print since Crowne Publications closed its doors around 1993. While the technology of our world has raced forward I am not always able to keep up with it’s advances. I can

Dialogue with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on Hebrew Israelism

James White, June 22, 2016, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, this program won’t be interesting for everyone, but for those who are interested in a dialogue on key issues with a representative of Hebrew Israelism—should fit the bill! A little over an hour with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on the deity of Christ, the Bible, Babylon—lots and lots of things. Best to be sitting down for this one! Here is

KJVO Discussion, the Pope Escapes His Handlers Again, Debate Tomorrow, the Trinitarian Controversy

James White, June 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana. Then we discussed the debate we will be doing tomorrow at 4pm with representatives of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Moved from there to a discussion of Jeremiah 34:16 and Romans 13:9 and King James

An Arminian Loses Psalm 33:10-11, SES and Rome, the Comma Johanneum Once Again

James White, June 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reviewing this article about Psalm 33 and noting that the Arminian author sort of skipped over the actual text that I was referring to. Then we took some time to read some quotes from Evangelical Exodus and discuss the fact that synergistic Thomism is a pretty fertile field out of which to grow Romanists. And then we finished up

The Didache, P45, Washingtonianus, and More!

James White, May 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a jumbo edition today covering a wide variety of topics but eventually focusing on the BBC clip played in our debate in South Africa about the Didache. Read the entire work, and then in the last thirty minutes did some manuscript/papyri stuff that only geeks will enjoy! As I mentioned at the end of the program, I have no

Various Articles and Open Phones

James White, April 28, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with various articles that I’ve collected, one by a Roman Catholic taking cheap shots at me, others on the continuing degradation of our society and the rise of totalitarianism. Then we opened up the phones and took calls on such subjects as the regulative principle of worship (actually got into the exclusive psalmody and instruments in worship debate

Twitter Questions, The Boss, The Pope, and More Ethnic Gnosticism

James White, April 12, 2016, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off today with a couple of Twitter questions (including one on Eastern Orthodoxy), then covered Springsteen’s view of transgender warriors as “freedom fighters,” the Pope’s “studied ambiguity” in his new statement, and toward the end of the hour I responded to BlackCalvinist’s piece accusing me of…well, all sorts of things, actually. Here is the YouTube link:

The Popes, Rachel Held Evans, Desiring God, Nabeel Qureshi on Unbelievable Mega Show

James White, April 5, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas and James 2:14-26

James White, March 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Two sections to today’s program: the first is a reading of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (with a few comments thrown in for good measure), followed by an extended discussion, based upon comments made recently by Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live, of James 2:14-26 and justification by faith alone. Here is the YouTube link:

The Mount of Transfiguration, of Internet Trolls, and the Protevangelium of James

James White, March 8, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Started off with a look at the Mt. of Transfiguration from a little different angle, one that might shed some light on why Moses and Elijah were there. Then, unfortunately, I had to deal with a particularly pernicious and reprehensible Internet troll’s lies and slander, but tried to make an application in seeing the danger of cultic KJVOism. Then I

Theology, Apologetics, Inerrancy, and a Brief Statement from the Pope

James White, March 3, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first 45 minutes on an interview Dr. Michael Licona did recently, discussing the centrality of theology to apologetic methodology. Then briefly discussed a recent statement by the Pope. Here is the YouTube link:

An All Roman Catholic Dividing Line (100 Minutes)

James White, February 18, 2016, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Today we did an all-Roman Catholic program, looking at the Pope’s “super confessors,” the myth of the 33,000 denominations, and, at the very end of the program, the issue of Antonin Scalia and the gospel. But about 40 minutes in we had Luke call. Luke is being pursued zealously by Roman Catholic apologists, and we spent about 45 minutes with

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind

James White, February 9, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

Lots of Topics and Articles

James White, December 23, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Dealt with a number of articles on the program today from a stack of articles I had thrown into Evernote, including dealing with the decline in religious freedom, the Pope and indulgences, Muslim nations banning Christmas—even a few words on Piper’s controversial article about Christians and self-defense. A wide-ranging show! Here is the YouTube link:

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

Total Insanity at the Start, then on to Important Issues about Secularism, Homosexuality, and Regeneration

James White, December 3, 2015, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a 75 minute program today, starting off with the looniest video I’ve ever seen aimed at me from a small Romanist cult up in New York. Then we moved on to the “God Isn’t Fixing This” headline, an article on the TGC blog about homosexuality, and finally a brief review of Paul Copan’s article on regeneration and faith. Enjoy!

Presuppositionalism/Evidentialism, and then Apologetically Useful Verses

James White, October 27, 2015, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Reviewed comments by Dr. Peter J. Williams on the subject of evidentialism and presuppositionalism, and then moved to a review of key verses you might want to be familiar with in sharing with various groups, including Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, Secular Humanists, “Gay” Affirming “Christians,” and finally…with our dear beloved Arminian friends. Hope it is useful! Here

Cross Examination from the Codrington Debate/Phone Calls

James White, October 22, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a ten minute clip from the Johannesburg debate from almost two weeks ago, and then opened the phones, with calls on the priesthood in the early church, Leighton Flowers’ on the will of God, and other topics. Here is the YouTube link:

Equal Scales and Honesty in Apologetic Argumentation: Even When Criticizing the Bishop of Rome

James White, September 29, 2015, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

On the program today I interacted with JD Hall’s comments about the Pope and the idea that the “cross was a failure” from Monday’s Pulpit and Pen program. All a lesson in seeking to be consistent in our argumentation and use of sources, even when we believe the person we are critiquing to be in gross error. Here is the

Thoughts on the Papacy

James White, September 23, 2015, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dedicated the entire hour to a discussion of the Papacy in light of the visit of Francis to the United States. Talked about biblical and historical issues relating to the Papacy, and why there are so few today offering a meaningful criticism of Rome’s claims. Hopefully a helpful reminder! Here is the YouTube link:

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

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

Actually, Jesus Did Ask Someone to Write a Book

TurretinFan, February 12, 2015, Roman Catholicism

About 43 minutes into episode #6838 of Catholic Answers Live, Patrick Coffin, the host of the show, stated: “Jesus never wrote a book, didn’t ask anybody to write a book, or you know – put on kind of memo on the fridges of Nazareth, but he did found a church.” I’ve previously addressed this “Jesus Didn’t Write a Book” Objection

If God is too scary, turn to Mary?

TurretinFan, February 5, 2015, Roman Catholicism

Around 45 minutes into episode #6824 of “Catholic Answers,” Vicki Thorn stated: “You know, I also want to say to our listeners, that sometimes when we’re beginning to heal, especially women, God is really sort of frightening to us, because we’re so afraid of judgment. The blessed Mother – this is Mary’s work. … This is Mary’s work – and

Roman Catholicism

James White, February 3, 2015, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off reviewing a call on Catholic Answers Live regarding Purgatory, providing a bit more information than was offered by Jimmy Akin. Then we watched a clip with Ravi Zacharias answering a question about Roman Catholicism, briefly played William Lane Craig on original sin, and then finished up with the famous cross-examination of Peter Stravinskas on 1 Cor. 3. Here

Called to Cyprian – Responding to Anders’ Historical Error

TurretinFan, January 19, 2015, Roman Catholicism

On Catholic Answers, episode #6796, Dr. David Anders makes it sound as though the issue of supremacy of the Roman bishop came up for the first time in the third century, as though “Pope Stephen” asserted the primacy of the Roman see, and as though the East acquiesced in silence. As explained in more detail at the link (link to

The Protestant’s Dilemma: A Review (Part One)

James Swan, January 15, 2015, Roman Catholicism

Recently I picked up The Protestant’s Dilemma: How the Reformation’s Shocking Consequences Point to the Truth of Catholicism (San Diego: Catholic Answers Press, 2014). In the preface of the Kindle edition, an unidentified author states that the primary author, Devin Rose, has put forth a book looking to engage in “dialogue“ specifically”with members of the thousands of Protestant sects.” The book is

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

James White vs. Martin Luther: The Protestant’s Dilemma?

James Swan, January 8, 2015, Roman Catholicism

I can think of no better way for a defender of Rome to generate sales for a product than to mention James White. The reason is not hard to figure out. He’s been at the forefront critiquing their current materials, long before most of us joined the battle. It was no surprise then to find Devin Rose posting his recent

Devin Rose’s Video – Brief Response

TurretinFan, January 6, 2015, Roman Catholicism, Uncategorized

Devin Rose has posted a video in which he himself declares that his own book, “The Protestant’s Dilemma” — well let me use his exact words — “Destroys James White’s Scripture Alone.” (his video can be found here) Devin claims his book has “about thirty-four arguments for the Catholic faith.” Devin says that Dr. White’s book, “Scripture Alone,” “answers none
