   This morning Jimmy Akin verified the Beckwith story here. You will note, “The source through which the matter was made public happened to be James White’s blog, and as you can imagine, Mr. White is not happy.” But, Akin provided the link to my comments, and I am grateful that he did so. I’m not sure why anyone would think

   by William Webster        In the articles I posted on the status of 1 Esdras and its relationship to the Councils of Trent and Hippo/Carthage, there have been 3 main responses to which I want to give a brief reply. The first response has to do with Gary Michuta’s assertion that Trent passed over 1 Esdras in silence, the second

I regularly visit Roman Catholic blogs and websites to see what the apologists are up to. Here are a few highlights.        Gerry Matatics says he’s continuing his 300-city mega tour “contrary to the hopes of my many enemies, critics, and detractors.” Gerry says:    “I pull no punches and make no apologies for opposing, and exposing, the novelties, oddities, heresies,

The Envoy discussion board will not allow links to Alpha and Omega Ministries, yet they are fixated on this very blog. The following Envoy discussion threads from the last few weeks are specifically on James White or material posted on aomin.org. Some of these topics are posted to not move from the first page of the Envoy discussion board:    

Yesterday on the Envoy forums, Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid posted a link to an old article, “Ancient Baptists” and Other Myths. This article appeared in the July/August 1998 issue of Envoy magazine. The article was a hit piece against Dr. White, and he proved it so here.    I am still registered on the Envoy forums, even though I haven’t made

   Never underestimate the writing output of a Catholic apologist. You can be easily buried with facts on several different topics spanning numerous pages. Most of their arguments are exercises in reasoning from the facts back to the Roman Catholic Church. One fact supports another in arguing back to the church Jesus is said to have established. The Catholic apologist will

   I was informed today that my appearance on this blog has not gone unnoticed by our friends on the Envoy forum. Don’t worry, I know it’s not about me; it’s about Dr. White, of course. You see, because I happen to agree with Dr. White, and even chose to study for a Master of Theology degree (note that, not a

   In between launching ad-hominems and generally avoiding ever touching the text of Scripture, Art Sippo, medical doctor and sometimes Roman Catholic apologist has been holding forth on the errors of Calvinism. He didn’t get very far, and it looks like he sort of ran out of steam, but at least in his conclusion we have another glorious example of what

   As I’m working I’m monitoring the Catholic Answers Forums, and I just saw RyanL accuse me of hypocrisy. Now, there is no end to all the things people will accuse me of, but as we are finding out, these folks are very long on accusations, very short on documentation. But at least someone tried. Here is the post. Now, let’s

   The “Crimson Catholic” seems to be jumping from forum to forum hoping to be noticed or at least to be seen as a great defender of the Catholic faith. I noted tonight that he has decided I am a Nestorian now–if you don’t bow down before statues or think there is a difference between latria and dulia and hyper-dulia, you

In case some of my readers were wondering what kind of response my reply to Jerry-Jet received, I must sadly report that the level of response was…not encouraging. Just a few representative samples:    Notice folks–all you have to do is quote from the Bible and Jesus’ own words and it strikes Satan so hard that he tries to trot out

   I continue with my response to “Jerry-Jet” on the Envoy Magazine web boards and his comments regarding me. The TRUTH is that Mr. White is leading people to Hell and people SHOULD be told that if they follow HIS interpretation of the Bible and not the Catholic Church who Jesus gave that authority to and if done with full knowledge

   I continue responding to Jimmy Akin and his blog articles. I am aware another has been posted, and given the string of, well, simply amazing comments posted as well, we once again observe the same kind of behavior we observed last year regarding the Catholic Answers forums and the Envoy forums. In any case, Akin continues, Notice that he’s begun

One of my favorite sound clips in our chat channel is from the popular TV show, “Frasier.” In his own inimitable fashion, Dr. Crane asks, “Tell me…what color is the sky in your world?” Such a quip indicates that the person to whom you are addressing those words seems to live…elsewhere, disconnected from reality, in a fantasy world.     I

Bill Rutland has provided a “response” that is again instructive to examine, though briefly, as I have limited time before heading back to Phoenix in a matter of hours. I would like to address some of James’ comments on my comments. But, before I do, I would like to thank Pat for allowing James to post from this forum so

In the midst of the “bash White’s books without providing a single example that can stand examination” spate over at Envoy, Patty Patrick Bonds decided to chime in, to use her own words. She begins with a story she has told before–but without any meaningful context: I once asked James if he had ever, even for a moment, considered the

Yesterday we noted further examples of the means by which Roman Catholic apologists in the tradition of Art Sippo engage in simply dishonest and inaccurate argumentation so as to maintain their audiences. Unlike those folks, we documented our assertions fully. Today I move on to Bill Rutland’s comments in the same thread. Mr. Rutland was my opponent only a few

Apologetics is dangerous. As the Apostle said, “knowledge makes arrogant” (1 Cor. 8:1). A love of God, His truth, and intimate possession of the attitude of the Apostle, who “endured all things for the sake of the elect” (2 Tim. 2:10), is necessary for doing God-honoring apologetic activity.     Over the years as I have interacted with apologists for many
