White & Barcellos | Interview 2 from MCTS on Vimeo.
The debate below took place April 10, 2010, between William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) and myself, TurretinFan. The resolution was: “Does Sola Scriptura foster disunity and division in the body?” This resolution was originally proposed by Steve Ray. Albrecht took the affirmative position and I took the negative position. While the constructive speeches may be of interest, I think both
Today on the Dividing Line I spent the first half of the program responding to Bryan Cross and Frank Beckwith on the issue of sola scriptura. The fundamental attack upon the sufficiency of Scripture and hence its truly divine character and purpose in Roman Catholicism remains central to any discussion of the issues that separate us. Then I went to
Today on the DL we got back to the 1993 sola scriptura debate with Patrick Madrid. Here’s the program.
Today I started off with Osama Abdullah’s allegation that Jesus “ran” from His own creation when He fled to Egypt. Of course, He was an infant in His mother’s arms at the time, but hey, let’s not let reality get in the way of a good argument! Then we took a call on the role of presuppositions in the study
We continued the discussion of the 1993 sola scriptura debate with Patrick Madrid on the program yesterday. The last ten minutes or so we took a call from Florida on the subject of “prophet” Joel Hemphill, his attacks upon the deity of Christ, and his willingness to “minister in music” in Trinitarian churches.
We began listening to the 1993 San Diego debate on sola scriptura with Roman Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid today. We will continue this review over the course of the next few programs, with the exception of this Thursday when we will be examining the textual variant at Luke 23:34 with Alan Kurschner. Many have commented that they find this kind
Used a recently posted Roman Catholic YouTube video, posted by both “Jerusalem Jones” Steve Ray and Dave Armstrong, as the jumping off point to listen to portions of past debates with Gerry Matatics, comments on sola scriptura, etc. Took some calls, one on sola scriptura and the early councils, the other on the idea of an “inspired interpretation.” For those
David King, co-author of the three-volume set, Holy Scripture, was Chris Arnzen’s guest today on Iron Sharpens Iron. Click here to listen to their discussion of sola scriptura.
My Google Blog Search pulled this comment up: If you read a little more on the blog, you’ll see that at one time I had a sola scriptura philosophy. Then I realized such a philosophy is unbiblical. I couldn’t find anywhere in the Bible where the Bible says that the Bible is the sole authority for all matters related to

Three calls on the DL today. First was our sophist, Jonathan Prejean, who actually managed to get me to hang up on him. That’s pretty hard to do, but if you want to know how, here’s how you do it: when asked simple, basic questions like, “Was the Incarnation a unique event,” respond with a lengthy pause, “uuuuhhhh,” and then
In our first installment we came to the point in Mr. Latar’s presentation where he made the rather amazing claim that 2 Thes. 2:15 presents us with two infallible rules of faith, one written, and one oral, and that this disproves sola scriptura. As I have pointed out, Rome does not tell us a single word Paul ever said to
Apolonio Latar’s article on sola scriptura was cited on the Catholic Answers web board recently, so I thought I would, once again, go over ground that has been covered many, many times. However, in light of the fact that most Roman Catholics are unwilling to read, at least in print, the responses to their own position, it is incumbant upon
…and that from a Jewish perspective. From World Magazine.
Mr. Enloe has asserted on his blog that I do not hold to a Reformational understanding of sola scriptura. I believe him to be in error, of course, and have asked for examples to substantiate his position. I have spent some time studying the subject, and, in fact, defending the Reformational viewpoint, over the years, so it would be very
Started off introducing folks to the concept of the calendar page over there on the left side of the website, talking about upcoming debates and trips. Even managed to try an Italian accent that came out sounding like Dr. Frankenstein. Then we took calls, and the calls focused on scriptural sufficiency and sola scriptura. Useful information.
…then why do we find Roman Catholics debating about the nature of the central act of worship in Roman Catholicism? This is one debate I may well find time to attend myself. Sungenis vs. Matatics on whether the Novus Ordo Mass is valid. But Rome is all united because of its tradition and the Papacy, yes? Hopefully a few Roman
I mentioned a while back that I am really working hard to finish this book for Bethany House, and that I would try to post little snippets. Here’s today’s snippet: Just as God’s saving grace instructs those it saves, so too the Word of God trains, instructs, disciplines believers as they seek to live in the realm or sphere of
I recognize that there is a fair amount of confusion on the part of some regarding the current controversy noted in the recent blog entries. It is my hope that over time that confusion can be cleared up, and in the process, some of God’s people will be blessed. Even with the gaseous cloud of vituperative sarcasm being belched out
He looked like death warmed over. “I’ve done all I can do. I just don’t know what to say any longer.” He looked defeated, and tired. I sighed and said nothing at first. I had been through this too many times to count, but it never got any easier, never got enjoyable. I settled a little more deeply into the
Roman Catholic apologists James Akin, Carl Keating, Patrick Madrid and Sola Scriptura.Responded to Dave Hunt’s assertion that Charles Spurgeon “unequivocally denied Limited Atonement” and “contradicted himself”. James reads Spurgeon’s “A Defense of Calvinism”.http://www.romans45.org/spurgeon/calvinis.htm
Dr. White is joined by Bill Webster (and by co-author David King). In their new landmark book on Sola Scriptura, one author covered its history and the other its Scriptural portion. The group discusses the current state of apologetics with Roman Catholics, and take calls from listeners about church history.
Thankfully, this Jesuit priest Pacwa does manage to avoid cheap debating tricks used by some of his peers. That meant James White had to work harder to respond, but also meant that the arguments used by many other Roman apologists were refuted by this honest Roman apologist. Dr. White also makes some very rare comments on eschatology while discussing the
Wrapping up his series on Sola Scriptura, James covers what is perhaps the most important passage on the subject.
James shows how the early fathers were anything but ‘Roman’ in their beliefs. Instead he shows how the fathers viewed the scriptures and how the scriptures were the ultimate authority in their faith.
How does the christian know that the scriptures are God breathed? How are we to answer the Roman Catholic who believes that Vatican is the final authority over the christian life?
James shows how the teachings of Jesus show us how the scriptures alone are the sole infallible rule of faith for the church.
Are the scriptures really the sole infallible rule of faith for the church?
