And Some More on the Comma

James White, March 11, 2006, King James Onlyism

I had not intended to spend so much time on this, but those who have been following the topics on this blog for the past few months realize how very relevant to my current work the issue of textual criticism, and in particular, the Comma Johanneum, really is. That is, given that I have been dealing with Islamic attacks upon

The Intellectual Pit Bull of the Evangelical Church?

James White, February 23, 2006, Reformed Apologetics

That’s the description given of Ergun Caner of Liberty University, one which he seems to proudly wear on his own website. Today I read where Dr. Caner said, “Calvinists are much more heinous than Muslims…I assume it is because they are predestined to be….” It just seems to me that if someone is going to promote themselves as fearless and

Scripture Memorization for 12/26-1/1

James White, December 26, 2005, Godly Disciplines

Sorry for missing getting this up on Monday. We have been fighting the weakness of the flesh in my home for the past few days, and we still are, I’m afraid. So I’m a little slow getting back up to speed. I will have to be brief and, well, obvious, this week. What I mean by that is there

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#25)

James White, October 10, 2005, Islam

The next variant in a noted by Bentley and repeated by Saifullah and Azmy is found by comparing Luke 15:19 with vs. 21. Bentley claims, “Now the delightful change in later manuscripts is that the son, himself so unexpectedly welcomed by his father, prudently omits to offer himself as a hired servant!” Delightful? In any case, there is a fair

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#24)

James White, October 7, 2005, Islam

I know, I know, I started this in December of 2004. I continue with my response to Saifullah & Azmy’s article on the transmission of the text of the New Testament, focusing upon their almost plagiaristically long citation of Bentley’s work on Sinaiticus (see the 23 previous installments for background details). Bentley writes, It must not be supposed from these

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#22)

James White, July 4, 2005, Islam

It has been way too long since I continued this series, and I apologize for that. One of our regulars in channel, DeoVolente, (Alan Kurschner) asked me to remember to do so, and I said, “Hey, feel free.” So, he did! And so, here’s the twenty-second in the series in response to our Islamic apologists and their comments on the

The Conclave Begins

James White, April 18, 2005, Roman Catholicism

I’m not going to be placing any bets on who the next Pope will be, nor how quickly he will be chosen. I only predict that someone will say “Habemus Papam” and the gathered crowd will cheer and the fellow will bless the crowd in a less-than-perfect fitting papal outfit. How’s that for going out on a limb? In case

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#17)

James White, March 3, 2005, Islam

My apologies for the time since I last continued the examination of Saifullah & Azmy’s article on the transmission of the text of the New Testament, and in particular, at this point, seventeen articles in, their lengthy citation of Bentley’s Secrets of Mount Sinai regarding Codex Sinaiticus (a). Life, at times, is so very distracting! Once again we encounter a

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#11)

James White, January 13, 2005, Islam

We noted in our last installment the presentation of twenty some odd pages of citation regarding the textual integrity of a (Codex Sinaiticus) by our Islamic authors. They tip their hand (as if we were any longer wondering about their bias) when they introduce this material, taken from James Bentley’s Secrets of Mount Sinai: The Story of Codex Sinaiticus, by

More on 2Cor. 11:32 and Textual Criticism

James White, October 26, 2004, Textual Issues

I am tremendously honored to discover that Dr. Maurice Robinson, Senior Professor of New Testament and Greek at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Wake Forest, NC) reads my blog, though, I realize, it may just be that someone forwarded the current blog entry to him for his comment (I’ll hope for the former, but expect the latter). Anyway, Dr. Robinson

Killing Two Birds/One Stone

James White, October 25, 2004, Textual Issues

Fast “weekend” so I’m behind already. Peoria, IL, this weekend, back Tuesday, gone again Thursday for LA and the debate/conference/cruise! Time is short, blogging will be brief for a while. So as to utilize my time better, I tried to find a textual variant in the New Testament that involved an infinitive but that would also allow me to make

Post-Modern Scholarship and False Accusations

James White, April 5, 2004, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism

Dr. Douglas Cowan is assistant professor of sociology and religious studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is also author of Bearing False Witness? An Introduction to the Christian Counter-cult. (Praegar, 2003; ISBN#: 0-2759-7459-6). In February of 2004 Jeff Downs, a regular contributor to the AR-Talk e-mail list, quoted from this work. The quote reads; Like Wise and his colleagues, while

A Quick Review and History of Alpha and Omega Ministries

James White, April 5, 2004, Misc

James White is the Director of Alpha and Omega Ministries. He co-founded Alpha and Omega in 1983 along with Michael Beliveau. At the time James was a student at Grand Canyon College in Phoenix, Arizona. The previous year, shortly after his marriage to Kelli, he had encountered two LDS missionaries, Elders Reed and Reese. In the ensuing conversations, James had

David Cloud and Fundamentalist Traditionalism

James White, April 23, 2003, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics

David Cloud is a fundamentalist, King James Only teacher who runs www.wayoflife.org. He maintains a mailing list and sends his articles out with regularity. Often we can agree with David Cloud’s social commentaries, for example, and I have often pointed to the fact that he is one of the very few KJV Only advocates who has had the temerity to criticize

Blinded By Tradition: An Open Letter to Dave Hunt

James White, May 4, 2002, Reformed Apologetics

Regarding His Newly Published Attack Upon the Reformation, What Love Is This? Calvinism’s Misrepresentation of God Updated 5/16/02, see bottom of file Dear Dave, In the period of time since I finally received my own copy of your book (you may recall I scanned through it while standing at your table in St. Louis at the PFO Conference) I have

My Correspondence with Paul Owen and Carl Mosser

James White, November 29, 2000, Mormonism, Theology Matters

The first letter has a date stamp on the file of November 29, 1996 Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your letter dated November 19th, 1996, in which you take myself and Luke Wilson to task for our “uninformed and highly misleading” as well as “unscholarly” articles that recently appeared in the CRI Journal. Unfortunately, the letter is ambiguous and does

The Accuracy of the Scriptures: the Bible vs. the Qur’an

James White, August 1, 2000, Islam

The Muslim debater was Hamza Abdul Malik of the Islamic Propagation Center. I

Debate: Papal Infallibility, Tim Staples, Fullerton, California, 7/7/2000

James White, July 7, 2000, Debate, Roman Catholicism

Six and a half hours of intensive debate over the course of two evenings. That’s the privilege I had July 6-7, 2000. The first three hours had an audience of hundreds of thousands, as I was privileged to join Hank Hanegraaff at the headquarters of the Christian Research Institute in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, for the third “marathon” session of

Of Doctorates and Eternity (Prequel)

James White, December 8, 1998, Mormonism, Theology Matters

A number of months ago I posted on this web site a brief article discussing Christian education, doctoral studies, accreditation, and various other issues. That article is available through a link at the bottom of this page. Since various folks opposed to our work, and specifically antagonistic toward me personally, are using the wonderful resource of the Internet to make

Of Gary Novak and the Columbia River

James White, December 8, 1998, Mormonism, Theology Matters

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the more fair you are in your criticisms of a false religion, the more strident will be the response. That does not sound logical, does it? Normally, you would think that if I were to engage in hysterical ranting and raving in criticizing such a group, that would increase the

Dan Corner, Evangelical Outreach, and Debates

James White, December 5, 1998, Reformed Apologetics

UPDATED INFORMATION! Dan Corner just won’t give up. In May of 2001 Dan tried to “spin” his refusal to debate me on the real issues with a new Audio offering. Click here to listen to my response to Mr. Corner as it was aired on the Dividing Line Webcast. A number of months ago I was sent a URL to

Of Doctorates and Eternity

James White, June 1, 1998, Theology Matters

Priorities. Standards. What is important to us? Where do our priorities lie? In our world today, these are questions often answered solely on the basis of such things as financial considerations or the world’s standards of “success.” Christians know that the Bible is plain in telling us that we are to do all things to the glory of God (1

Mirror Mirror: The Decline of Catholic Answers

James White, April 29, 1998, Roman Catholicism

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

Muddying the Waters: A Reply to Robert Sungenis’ Triumphalistic Article in the June, 1996 This Rock Magazine

James White, October 18, 1997, Roman Catholicism

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

A Response to Dr. Ruckman

James White, September 1, 1996, King James Onlyism

See also The Debate that Never Was Upon the publication of my book, The King James Only Controversy, I wrote to Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, sent him the book, and challenged him to a debate. The correspondence that ensued, the behavior exhibited by Ruckman, and his eventual unwillingness to engage in the debate, is documented fully on our web page.

New Age Bible Versions Refuted Part II

James White, September 1, 1996, King James Onlyism

Continued from Part I In Conclusion…. It is not joyous to have to engage in the kind of task that requires you to dwell upon mistakes, errant conclusions, and mis-citations. I would much rather take my time to speak of the wonders of God’s providence in preserving His Word through the centuries, not in the way the KJV Only folks

Here We Go Again – A Brief, But Hopefully Necessary, Response to Texe Marrs

James White, August 20, 1996, King James Onlyism

A Response to Dr. Kirk D. DiVietro’s “85 Large Pages of Scholarly Refutation!”

James White, July 9, 1996, King James Onlyism

So reads the advertisement for a paper delivered by Dr. Kirk D. DiVietro, now being published by Dr. D.A. Waite’s The Bible For Today. Dr. DiVietro delivered this paper at the 17th Annual Meeting of the Dean Burgon Society, July 12-13, 1995. This paper is not the first response to my book, The King James Only Controversy. A smaller paper

The Theonomy-L Debate — Dr. Theodore Letis’ Unwillingness to Deal With the Plain Issues

James White, June 1, 1996, King James Onlyism

The following 270K document contains excerpts from a “debate” which took place in June and July of 1995 on the Theonomy-L mailing list. I have taken the time to put this together due to the fact that I have recently been sent a couple of “lectures” by Dr. Theodore Letis in which he makes numerous disparaging, and false, remarks about

A Study in F.A.R.M.S. Behavior

James White, February 15, 1996, Mormonism

F.A.R.M.S., the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, based out of BYU, is the leading Mormon apologetics organization. They publish numerous works and provide the majority of the current apologetics information used by Mormon missionaries and others. In 1993 F.A.R.M.S. reviewed my book, Letters to a Mormon Elder in their book, Review of Books on the Book of Mormon

Catholic Answers: Myth or Reality? – A Refutation of Patrick Madrid’s Article, “The White Man’s Burden,” and a Defense of Sola Scriptura

James White, November 1, 1995, Roman Catholicism

It was the first day back in the office after Christmas. On the ride in I was thinking about how a debate could be arranged that would be very useful in highlighting the differences between the free grace of God offered in Scripture, and the Roman Catholic concept of merit. I had been studying the”Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of
