Guest host Simon Escobedo interviewing Eddie Dalcour (Department of Christian Defense) on the history and beliefs of Oneness Pentecostalism. Eddie breifly traces the roots of Oneness Pentecostalism from Gnostism to Paul of Samasota, Sabellius, Arius, to Emannuel Swedenborg, and the Oneness resurgence in 1913 with R.E. Mcallister to T.D. Jakes. Dalcour explores some detrimental implications of oneness theology, then a

Based on strong feedback from his last program, Dr. White revisits America’s need for repentance and God’s purpose in tragedy. Also, while the world may reject both Christianity and Islam for making truth claims, or even attack Christianity more for having laid a godly foundation in America, Islam has significant issues with a violent founding prophet, dubious textual criticism, and

Dr. White compares our nation’s godless culture and reaction to 9/11 to the words of Lincoln, who called for a day of prayer and humiliation during the Civil War. In a timely yet counter-cultural message, Dr. White reminds listeners of God’s purpose exists in all things, and of America’s great need for repentance.

Dr. White theorizes that, due to the poor quality of the appendix that responds to his book the Potter’s Freedom, it could not have been written by a scholar like Geisler, but seems to have been the result of a group project from Geisler’s undergraduate logic class. The original text of CBF ignored some key texts that help establish Reformed

Dr. White continues covering the error-laden 13th appendix of Chosen But Free, which had claimed to be a response to his book The Potter’s Freedom. This program covers a supposed list of logical fallacies in White’s PF, including ad hominem attacks and name calling. A closer look, however, reveals that the CBF appendix is littered with not just citations of

The second edition of Geisler’s book does include an appendix that makes a response to Dr. White’s Potter’s Freedom, but the quality of this appendix is even lower than that of the book itself, with wrong citations and no attempt at exegesis. Dr. White’s PF had demonstrated that Geisler’s CBF strangely redefines terms that have been in use for centuries,

even years after falsely predicting the end of the world in 1994, Camping now uses his erratic interpretational approach to claim that God no longer uses the church, but instead only uses groups like his own Family Radio, a claim no less heretical than any (other) cult. Dr. White explains how incredible it is to reject the entire church, and

The Prayer of Jabez book had already sold over 5 million copies, which, unfortunately, would not have happened if it was a balanced representation of Christian prayers in the Bible. The book also misses the sense of the text’s prayer as a covenant oath and misses the biblical concept of blessing, and the biblical sense of answered prayer.

A multi-topic dividing line: Dr. White notes that converts to Romanism often do so based on the very worst arguments, and mentions three upcoming Protestant books that will speak the truth, followed by a phone call about the anachronistic nature of Rome’s historical claims. James also mentions two topics that we will discuss more in future programs: Harold Camping’s claim

Again, Dr. White demonstrates how Dave Hunt has bitten off more than he can chew in taking on Reformed theology at his current level of understanding. Hunt is confused in thinking that biblical appeals to repent refute Calvinism. Dr. White explains the necessity of consistency in apologetics with the example that Hunt appeals to aspects of the concept of penal

James White continues to explain how Dave Hunt attacks a mere straw man of Reformed Theology, from sloppy use of a concordance to relegating the soteriological golden chain of Romans 8 to a mere special blessing that only some Christians receive. A caller asks about the relationship between the sovereignty of God and temptation.

Since Dave Hunt went from admitting an ignorance of the Reformers a very short time ago to authoring a book attacking Reformed theology, James White begins to demonstrate that Dave Hunt’s theology does not derive from exegesis or understanding of the original languages.

In this radio debate that includes callers, James White takes a cessationist position arguing that the indwelling of the Spirit happens at conversion, and Bernard, who is a Oneness Pentecostal, argues that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is indicated by tongues. Dr. White draws out the implication that Bernard is unable to see justification as a past event, but
