I took a few hours off of writing tonight to sorta de-compress, came back over to the office to do a little more work on an article, and found it necessary to put on my helmet and dodge a flood of incoming fire, both in channel and then in the “blogosphere.” Though I had commented

Amazingly, after posting his horrific image, Armstrong has tried to turn the tables by accusing me of posting something even worse than his blood-stained Charlie-Mansonesque picture. Remember, Armstrong just posted the picture: no context, no words, no application to any particular issue. Just Rome’s arrow (replete with Papal flag) sticking out of my forehead with blood flowing from the wound.

Well, the book arrived. I refer to A Guide to the Passion: 100 Questions About The Passion of the Christ, a book designed especially to be given out by Catholics to folks who have seen The Passion of the Christ from Ascension Press, written by the Catholic Exchange. The URL given for the book is: www.evangelization.com. Notice that there are

The following exchange took place on a Roman Catholic list in 1997 over the course of a couple of weeks.  As you will see at the end of this exchange, Mr. Mark Shea, author of By What Authority?, threatened legal action if I posted this material.  However, in February of 2002, Mr. Shea himself posted an entire section of this

Perhaps this is why Catholic Answers, while claiming to be in the “forefront” of Catholic Apologetics, refuses to engage in public debate against those they know are prepared and ready.  Who knows?  But one thing is for sure: the new article by Steven O’Reilly in the October, 2000 This Rock magazine rivals the sad attempts of the Watchtower Society to

I have seen my opponents use many tactics to cover over poor performances in debates.  You will find documented on this website at least one imaginative approach taken by Catholic Answers back in 1993 when Patrick Madrid attempted to do damage control after our sola scriptura debate in San Diego by writing “The White Man’s Burden” in This Rock magazine

On June 29, 1999, we posted an open challenge to Karl Keating and Catholic Answers to debate in San Diego, California, their main base of operations.  We did so because Catholic Answers was continuing to claim, in their literature, to be out front taking on “anti-Catholics” at seminars and publicly giving the “Catholic answer.”  We find it hypocritical that Catholic

Addition made 8/24/99: Catholic Answers Announces Budget of $3,300,000.00 for the Year 2000 This huge budget includes $350,000.00 for administration, and $350,000.00 for fund-raising!  Why is this relevant?  Well, in light of the information contained below, and Catholic Answers’ constant claim to be on the “front lines” giving the “Catholic Answer,” it strikes us as a bit strange that the

Former Reformed Protestants Embrace Rome for all the Wrong Reasons A Review of the Conversion Stories of Robert Sungenis and Julie Swenson as found in Surprised by Truth, edited by Patrick Madrid    “We believe that modern evangelicalism has little to say to Roman Catholicism, since it agrees with Rome on some of the most basic issues of the Gospel!

You’ve got to give them credit. They broke new ground, bringing Roman Catholic apologetics (something most Protestants didn’t even think existed!) to the average Roman Catholic in the pew. And they did it, quite often, by focusing upon the tremendous weaknesses of modern Protestant apologetics. It’s not an overly difficult task to point out the gaping holes in the arguments

Because we have done so many debates against leading Roman Catholic apologists over the past decade, we are often asked a rather simple question: why haven’t you debated such-and-such a person? Most of the time, we are asked why we don’t offer debates with Scott Hahn or Karl Keating. Some are just wondering if we have in fact debated these

If you read only the literature of Roman Catholic apologetics organizations, you’d swear there wasn’t a Protestant on the earth who had ever cracked the binding of a Bible, or had ever even known someone named Cyprian even existed, let alone had a battle royal with Stephen back in the third century. Over the past few years I have had

An Initial Review of Some Problems in the Newly Published Book, Jesus, Peter & the Keys By Scott Butler, Norman Dahlgren, and David Hess It has been a long time coming. I’ve been hearing about this book for quite literally years. It finally made its appearance at the end of 1996, to the cheers of such individuals as Dr. Scott

The complaint is always the same: you never have enough time to say what you want to say in an oral debate, and you never have enough space to write what you want to write in a written one. I’m sure both Douglas Jones and Patrick Madrid wish they had more space to dedicate to the topic of sola scriptura

TO: Tim Staples, St. Joseph Catholic Radio FROM: James White, Alpha and Omega Ministries RE: The Debate in Review: An Open Letter to Tim Staples Dear Tim: It’s truly amazing what a good 40+ mile bike ride will do for you. It was great to get back home, see my wife and kids, pick up my bike from the shop

A Response to James Akin’s article in the July, 1993 This Rock entitled “Fatally Flawed Thinking” The Fatal Flaw was first printed in 1990. As soon as the first copies arrived at our offices, I packaged up a copy and sent it off to Karl Keating of Catholic Answers. I assumed that since Catholic Answers advertises itself as the leading

JW:     OPENING STATEMENT (20 minutes).  Good evening, it’s good to be with you.  I’m very thankful to the church for allowing us to be here.  I need to thank all of you San Diegans.  I understand there’s a big push on to make this a very friendly city.  And I think it’s very friendly of you to bring in Phoenix
