James White, , Jehovah's Witnesses, The Dividing Line
An online apologist for Jehovah’s Witnesses named Martin Smart has been inserting his theology into John 15:2 in order to argue against Reformed theology. In response, Dr. White demonstrates how to start with an exegesis of the passage, which then leads then leads to applications, which exposes the shortcomings of the NWT and of Smart’s attempt to make all Scriptural uses of

A Memorization Suggestion
James White, , Jehovah's Witnesses
Given that Jehovah’s Witnesses have heard John 1:1 quoted to them so many times they can, quite literally, respond to it while in a comatose state, I suggest the memorization (yes, memorization–the real thing, not the “can’t I just stick a little page flag thingy in my pocket New Testament” thing) of a passage that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not encounter

A Question for JW’s
James White, , Jehovah's Witnesses
So you think Jesus is a mighty angelic creature, the greatest of God’s creations, and is hence “a god”?

Colin Smith, , Jehovah's Witnesses
I was recently directed to an article written by a Jehovah’s Witness concerning the Greek grammar of some passages in John’s Gospel. The author of the article was attempting to refute Dr. James White who had referenced these passages in a recent broadcast of The Dividing Line with regard to the Watchtower teaching that Jesus is Michael the Archangel.

The Prologue of the Gospel of John
James White, , General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism
