Russell Moore’s Statement, Steven Anderson on KJVOC Chapter 2

James White, February 12, 2019, Church History, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent most of our time today examining Dr. Russell Moore’s statement on the Houston Chronicle article, and specifically what he identified as “wrongheaded” and “dangerous” ideas. This required us to revisit Rome’s doctrine of the priesthood and related issues. Then we responded to Steven Anderson’s second video wherein he reviews the second chapter of The King James Only Controversy. 75 minutes.

An Ultra Mega Dividing Line (2.5 Hours) Covering…A Ton

James White, February 5, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off the program thanking my hosts in Russia for a wonderful time there. Then we looked at the document produced and signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam, Ahmed el-Tayeb, and commented on its actual content (unlike some articles that skipped that part and just went for the sensationalistic side). Then we commented on the left’s drive for

KJVO Discussion, the Pope Escapes His Handlers Again, Debate Tomorrow, the Trinitarian Controversy

James White, June 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana. Then we discussed the debate we will be doing tomorrow at 4pm with representatives of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Moved from there to a discussion of Jeremiah 34:16 and Romans 13:9 and King James

Michael Brown’s Calvinist Call

James White, July 9, 2013, The Dividing Line

Started off foolishly trying to reason with a King James Onlyist (his responses show that was about as useful as trying to reason with Peter Ruckman), and then moved on to a brief review of a prayer to Mary found in the new papal encyclical, and then spent most of the hour looking at some more from Michael Brown’s Calvinist

Evangelical Textual Scholar Debunks Chris Pinto’s Conspiracy Claim that Codex Sinaiticus was a “Forgery”

Dr. Alan Kurschner, June 29, 2013, King James Onlyism

Daniel Wallace, who is one of the foremost Evangelical textual scholars today defending the trustworthiness of the Bible, for example, debating such liberals as Bart Erhman, makes some excellent points refuting the sensational and baseless claim that Codex Sinaiticus is a forgery. Chris Pinto of Noise of Thunder Radio is peddling his egregiously biased documentary promoting his wacky conspiracy theory

DRARE: Dogged Repetition of Already Refuted Errors

James White, June 27, 2012, King James Onlyism

I like my new word. Do you? Drare. It sounds a little European, but it is still workable. Dogged Repetition of Already Refuted Errors. That is King James Onlyism in a nutshell, and that is ol’ Sam Gipp, even with excellent videography and high def cameras:

Heading Full Steam into 2012…

James White, December 29, 2011, Misc

So the new year is right around the corner. With the apologetics cruise taking up the 1st week of January, and then the apologetics class for Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary running for 5 hours each night the week after, I will hardly have time to reflect upon the arrival of 2012. I am already a little bit nervous, and

A Disputatio From the Past

James White, November 16, 2011, Textual Issues

This discussion keeps coming up, so, I am thankful I was given permission to post a brief written “disputatio” between myself and Douglas Wilson on the topic of the “Ecclesiastical Text.” Though we were limited to very brief statements (115 words) I think even this little discussion illustrated the problems with the Ecclesiastical Text theory. It sounds great, but there

Perhaps Herod Dressed Up as the Easter Bunny, Too

Dr. Alan Kurschner, October 27, 2011, King James Onlyism

“When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him. Herod planned to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.” (Acts 12:4 NET) “And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after

What Color is the Sky in Your World?

James White, August 17, 2011, Simply Silly

The immortal words of Dr. Frasier Crane which dance through my head often when encountering zealots and promoters of various isms and schisms. Clarity of thought, reason, logic—all things those who follow Him who claimed to be the Truth should strive for and honor—seems lost on a large portion of today’s Western culture. Rich just posted the comments someone made

Will Kinney

James White, August 9, 2011, The Dividing Line

Well, Will Kinney got his 15 minutes of fame today…ok, 12 minutes, 19 seconds to be exact. I started off the program, explained the situation relating to Erasmus’ problems in accurately obtaining the text of the book of Revelation, went over what The King James Only Controversy says on the issue (including the footnotes containing relevant information), and then played

Tomorrow on Yes, You Guessed it, ANOTHER Jumbo DL!

James White, August 8, 2011, King James Onlyism

I am going to press on with the Fernandes/Comis debate, and the Slick/Perkins debate, of course, but…I wanted to respond to some recently posted attacks (they are not critiques—when you call someone a liar, and engage in constant ad-hominem argumentation, that is not a critique) by King James Only advocate Will Kinney. Specifically, I will be responding to the following

A Sad Blast from George Bryson

James White, April 17, 2011, Reformed Apologetics

Over the past few years I have experienced what has become a regular occurrence when traveling and speaking across the US, UK, and Australia. I will be approached by someone, most often a man, who tells me his story of being a member of a Calvary Chapel, following the exhortation to read and study the Scriptures, and coming to an

A Quick Report from Wind-blown Dublin, Ireland

James White, February 4, 2011, Personal

I haven’t seen wind like this in a long time, I really haven’t. This morning during breakfast I heard predicted gusts of 110km/hr, and I believe it! But, despite the somewhat inclement weather (at least it is not overly cold), I had a wonderful day today. But first… The morning after I arrived in London I made the trek down

Reflections on Geisler’s Chosen But Free

James Swan, January 26, 2011, Reformed Apologetics

I take a trip down memory lane every time Dr. White discusses Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free. During the 1980’s I was quite a fan of Dr. Geisler’s work. I first came across Dr. Geisler while flipping through the channels on my television one evening. He was debating secular humanist Paul Kurtz. I had no idea what show I was

Open Phones

James White, August 26, 2010, The Dividing Line

Started off noting that Elmer Towns says Ergun Caner’s “punishment” fits the “problem,” then took three calls, one from Estonia relevant to Islam, one on King James Onlyism, one on the nature of hell. All three were very encouraging calls.

The Immaculate Conception and Sinlessness of Mary Debate

IRON SHARPENS IRON Radio Presents ROMAN CATHOLIC VS. PROTESTANT Debate on Long Island “The Immaculate Conception & Sinlessness of Mary” FEATURING CHRISTOPHER A. FERRARA – Founder of American Catholic Lawyer’s Association Christopher Ferrara is an attorney and widely published Catholic author and commentator.

Dan Barker Continues to Object

James White, October 7, 2009, Christian Worldview

Dear Mr. Barker: Thank you for your lengthy note. Your response to the events in Newberg strike me as tremendously non-reflective. You do not seem willing, or capable, of giving serious consideration to your own positions, and your own actions. You do not seem to see the obvious, and evidently, this is due to what might be called the apostasy

Dan Barker: Yes, I’ve Made the Same Argument for Seventeen Years. So What?

James White, September 28, 2009, Christian Worldview

As soon as I got into the office today I went over to my atheism section in my library and pulled down Dan Barker’s 1992 publication, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist. This book is the immediate predecessor of Godless which came out, not two years ago as Dan recalled in the debate, but in 2008. I immediately

An Excellent Example of Why We Need to Think Clearly and Consistently About the Bible

James White, September 2, 2009, King James Onlyism

I received the following e-mail a few days ago through our contact link on the aomin.org website: I just want you to know straight forward this is not an attack, but, a legitimate concern. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the occult recently and I must say that the newer versions give lots of breathing room for the

Richard Dawkins: the Peter Ruckman of Atheists

James White, August 30, 2009, Christian Worldview

There have been a number of excellent works recently nailing down the undeniable evidence for intelligent design from sound, solid, scientific sources. I have mentioned how much I enjoyed Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves and if I could ever get a few hours I am looking forward to reading Signature in the Cell. The evidence for

Dan Wallace on the Dividing Line August 6th!

James White, August 4, 2009, The Dividing Line

I am very excited to announce that Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, Professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary, and the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), will be my guest on The Dividing Line this coming Thursday evening. Dr. Wallace’s work in Greek grammar is well known, as he is the author

Falling Ever Farther Behind! But Exciting Things Coming Up!

James White, March 28, 2009, Misc

My sincere apologies! I talked about blogging this on Thursday on the DL, fully intending to do so that evening, and here it is Saturday evening before I get it done! Ah, well, at least I’m not bored! Having way too good a time studying for preaching tomorrow from Hebrews 1. Oh the Word of God is so rich! I

The Potter’s Freedom: 2nd Edition

James White, March 11, 2009, Reformed Apologetics

I am exciting to announce that we now have the second edition of The Potter’s Freedom in stock. The text has not changed: instead, I have added a new foreword and two appendices including my response to Geisler’s attempted reply to the book, along with materials on 2 Peter 2:1 and 1 Timothy 4:10, for a total of thirty-two additional

A Few Things I Have Learned Since…Yesterday

James White, February 19, 2009, Textual Issues

1) Do not attempt to offer a possible reason for why someone would completely misread your purpose and statement. You will be accused of “mocking” people if you do. Of course, if you do not do that, you will be accused of being mean anyway. So, lesson learned: you can’t win. Specifically, I am sitting here in shock this morning

A Response to Dr. Tommy Wasserman

James White, February 18, 2009, Textual Issues

Last week when a caller to The Dividing Line asked about resources on textual critical studies, I noted the plethora of information to be found at the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog. One of the contributors to this blog is Dr. Tommy Wasserman from Lunds Universitet in Sweden. I was surprised, and very disappointed, to read Dr. Wasserman’s comments today on

More Examples of the “Truth Divide”

James White, February 13, 2009, General Apologetics

There is a truth divide in the realm of apologetics. I refer to the attitude one has toward truth, and how consistently one seeks to live in light of one’s own confession of fidelity to truth itself. The first is found in the continued ramblings of William Albrecht, a Roman Catholic layman “apologist.” It is hard to take William seriously,

A Review of the Ehrman Debate

James White, February 2, 2009, Textual Issues

I wrote the following article for the American Vision website. It is the first of two replies to Joel McDurmon’s comments on the debate, likewise posted on AV. Mr. McDurmon will be joining me on the DL tomorrow.

Weekend Misc.

James White, January 31, 2009, Misc

This morning I was on David Wheaton’s Christian Worldview program discussing the Ehrman debate and related issues. I sounded like Barry White instead of James White, but hopefully it was helpful. I just finished the galley proofs of the 2nd edition of The King James Only Controversy. That means we should be seeing the new editions of both that book

Ruckmanism Abounds

James White, December 26, 2008, King James Onlyism

I will be continuing my response to, and rebuttal of, Bryan and Jason on “The Covenanter’s Call” radio program on the DL on Tuesday. They did another program on Tuesday evening where they said they would take calls. I listened to the program, and when they attempted to respond to Revelation 16:5, they indicated that they did not understand the
