As we were packing our things there were lots of discussions as to which would be the first rides to get on. “I am definitely going to get on Supreme Scream first.” “Oh, I can’t wait to get on Ghostrider.” These were the exchanges taking place between my daughters Angelique and Abigail and their close friend Summer White. They were

My name is Kelli White.  You probably don’t know me but if you’re reading this you may know of or at least heard of my husband, James White.  He is the Director of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, AZ.  Some say he is a controversial man at times.  Last week is one such example.  On Thursday he was in

James White Responds to Tim Staples’ Article, “How to Explain the Eucharist” in the September, 1997 issue of Catholic Digest Catholic apologists know the situation well.  The Evangelical Christian has his Bible and is making waves at a family reunion.  It’s a common situation since 1) Evangelicals are evangelical; that is, they share their faith, and few Catholics even view

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

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

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

It’s a beautiful morning here in Santa Fe. I have become accustomed to arising early in the mornings of late, but this morning—I didn’t. It takes quite a while to wind down after two full debates (on two widely divergent topics), so I didn’t get to bed overly early either. In any case, I’m 4/6ths of the way through the

   A person over on the Catholic Answers forums is looking for help refuting Bart Ehrman: “will somebody who is an authority on textual criticism answer dr. bart ehrman’s thesis. or please recommend sites where i can find intelligent refutations agains his writings.”    One would think, the alleged “true” church would have her top scholars working on such a project,

   A&O is a small, non-profit organization. Though we have been around 24 years now, we remain a small, two-man operation. Though you hardly ever hear us talking about it, we are, in fact, dependent upon the gifts of those who find our work useful, encouraging, and beneficial. And yes, we could always use a lot more support than we have.

   Jimmy Akin has joined the “stone James White” movement here. Of course, as is normal with Akin, you will not find a scintilla of interaction with what I have actually said, let alone how one can be “misinformed” by the very words you read on a page as to the content of what is in the book you are reading!

   As our regular readers know, over the past week or so once again the wrath of a wide spectrum of Roman Catholics has been sent my direction due to my daring to be consistent with my own faith and with the positions I have presented in published works and public debates for many years. You have also noticed, I’m sure,

   I confess, if I had written what Jimmy Akin posted on his blog recently, I would not be calling into webcasts that have fairly wide-ranging audiences to advertise it. And I likewise do not know why Mr. Akin would suggest that responding to his personal attack post would in any way alter what I said in response to his discussion

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

When I, my mom, brother, Escobedo family, and Jason Naut, drove to California early Friday morning the reason for my excitement was because the next day we would hopefully be in Knott’s Berry Farm.  That night we would be attending a debate between my father and Mr. Staples.  I was looking forward to it, of course, but I was more

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
