   As I have looked over my archives I see that almost three months have passed since my last installment in response to Steve Ray’s attempt to defend the concept of the Bodily Assumption of Mary from Scripture. Of course, this 30 page pdf, cobbled together from various sources, is only partly on the subject of the Assumption. A large portion

“Swan struck me as a real lightweight, and the above seems to verify my suspicion. He is a ‘wanna-be’ and it seems like he tries to puff out his chest to look bigger than he actually is.”     “It seems he is a James White wanna-be, though he’s no where near as clever.”    These are recent comments directed towards me

   Evidently Steve Ray doesn’t have much to say. Though he was quite proud of himself when he posted his many page pdf a few months ago (cobbled together, obviously, from pre-existing materials lurking in the recesses of his hard-drive), he quickly decided that though he had spent the weekend doing that, I wasn’t worth responding to, so, he wasn’t going

   After this past Thursday’s Dividing Line, I’ve been looking around for any type of response from Steve Ray or his supporters. One person on Ray’s discussion board at the “world premier” quipped, “There was also some guy named J. White on the guest list, but he never showed.” Well, at least this may indicate some of his Ray’s supporters at

   I almost lost consciousness this morning when I saw this announcement appear on my screen: World Premier of Apostolic Fathers!    Friday night I will be giving an introductory talk on the Apostolic Fathers before showing our new DVD for the first time!! The title is Apostolic Fathers, Handing on the Faith.    Anyone who buys a copy at this event will

   As I noted last week, Steve Ray’s response (titled “The Obsessed Man Continues his Rant”) to my series (which he professes to have not bothered to read—can you imagine if I replied to his 30 page pdf with the same kind of attitude?) began with these kind words: Someone informed me that James White the Baptist was continuing his rant

   TurretinFan (for those who do not know the real Turretin, you should! One of the greats of the church’s past!) has nailed Steve Ray’s hypocrisy to the wall in his post here. That Ray’s own fans do not see the double standard is quite telling, to be sure. I have had a number of folks write to me and report

   I continue working my way through Steve Ray’s attempt to defend the bodily assumption of Mary and her queenly coronation as posted in a thirty-page pdf on his website. I note that for the first time since I began my response, Ray has taken note of it on his blog. And, as is usual for Steve Ray, his reply is

I continue my examination and refutation of Steve Ray’s attempt to defend Rome’s dogmatic teaching of the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven, and her doctrinal teaching of the queenly coronation of Mary. In our first installment we pointed out that since the Assumption is a dogmatic teaching, the highest standard of evidence is required to defend it, and we

   What do all false religions share in common? While a number of answers suggest themselves, in our context, I am referring to their united attack upon the inspiration, consistency, and sufficiency, of the Bible as the Word of God. In particular, false religions that wish to make some room for Jesus in their teaching while fundamentally altering the truth about

   On August 13th Steve Ray posted a blog article that presented the “logic” used in Roman Catholic theology that lies behind the assumption and coronation of Mary. I replied the next day here. (Ray, in his response, has the wrong date of his own initial blog article, and links not to my initial response to him, but a later one).

   Steve Ray won’t give up. I have never seen such a dogged attempt to avoid admitting, “OK, I am wrong.” Here is page 16 from The World Christian Encyclopedia:     Click here for an image twice the size and, at least on my system, actually readable despite the pdf shading. Here is Ray’s version.    Please note what this material, which

   Last evening I made a prediction that Steve Ray would find a way to run from the documentation of his error regarding the oft-repeated false assertion that the World Christian Encyclopedia says that there are 33,000 Protestant denominations. This is a documented falsehood. It doesn’t. But Steve Ray is a fundamentalist Romanist–he still has the same mind set he had

   I know the family resemblance is…lacking, but the behavior resemblance is quite compelling. And the hat helps. (ht: MB)    Steve Ray is still a fundamentalist. Now, I use that term not in its historical sense, but in the sense Ray himself uses it, descriptive of his “former life” before his conversion to Rome. But Ray’s mindset has not changed an

   A few days ago Steve Ray moderated the comments on his blog. Which is fine. I don’t even have them because, as I have explained before, I call most comboxes “IIA’s.” Internet Ignorance Aggregators. And surely, Ray’s web-board is more than sufficient to allow anyone who wants to comment on his statements to do so–of course, I’d likewise say that

   Tuesday morning I posted an article that interacted with various aspects of the Roman Catholic claim that we must believe, as a de fidedogma of the Christian faith, that Mary was bodily assumed into heaven. This has been a defined dogma of the Roman religion for less than sixty years, but it is, in fact, a dogmatic teaching. I provided

So Steve Ray writes to me and asks me to correct my blog since he didn’t “send any troops.” Well, we don’t want anyone confused! Of course, I didn’t say he did, I said the folks who were sending us e-mails came from his board, but he disavows any control over the folks who post there, so, therefore, he didn’t

I arrived in Detroit from speaking at the Toledo Conference and I get a text message from our massive AOMin headquarters high atop the AOMin towers (uh, yeah), “The hate mail is pouring in.” Seems one of my comments from yesterday was posted on the Steve Ray “Catholic Convert” message board. Now, if you’ve ever visited that web-board, you know

“This Bereans passage has been commandeered by Fundamentalists for too long, and it is time Catholics reclaim it.” —Former Baptist Steve Ray, This Rock, March, 1997, p. 24. Steve Ray is a nice guy. At least, we’ve had some civil discourse in the past via the Internet. He seems like an honest man who is convinced that the position he

Dr. White has already responded to Mr. Ray’s latest (see here) but I wanted to address a particular line from Mr. Ray’s comment: “Every time I have tangled with him in the past I felt like I needed a shower with a good bar of antibacterial soap.” Now, in context, Mr. Ray means to insult Dr. White. That’s perfectly clear,

On the same Catholic Answers Live episode (May 8, 2008), in which Steve Ray seemingly endorsed 18th Century superstitions (see my previous discussion), Mr. Ray discussed another Rosary-related topic. A caller (Willie in Fredericksburg, TX) asked: I tell somebody I’m going to say a rosary for them, and then I do, and in the process I might have told somebody

   In glancing through various sources relevant to the woman of Revelation 12 (historically taken as the people of God in the Old and New Testaments, but becoming Mary as Marian piety developed, especially in the middle ages) in response to Steve Ray’s words in his pdf from a few months ago seeking to defend the idea of the idea of

   Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be posting my brief response. Gary Michuta wrote the basic response and I will flesh it out and add a few items. Gary is a very good apologist and you can learn more about him at http://www.handsonapologetics.com. But first I have to finish the Study Guide for the Apostolic Fathers’ DVD which has to go to

Tyler McNabb, a former Protestant who has decided to do the “cool thing” and apostatize, has shown he is to be taken as anything but serious by including in his “why I converted to Romanism” announcement the following statement: The principle of sola scriptura is not only self-defeating but the consequence of this doctrine is the creation of over 36,000

My busy schedule has left me little time to write, however, I do still check in on a number of Roman Catholic apologists each day. Here’s what I found today. In some cases, there really isn’t anything new under the sun. Take for instance Gerry Matatics. Gerry updates his website a few times a year, if that. His recent offering

This morning I was directed to a new feature of the Catholic Answers website, their video wall, found here. And what to my wondering eyes should appear right at the top of the “wall” but a video I reviewed over two years ago when Steve Ray linked to it by one Russ Rentler. At the time I produced the video
