Romans 4:4-8

James White, July 10, 2004, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters

4:4-5 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. Immediately upon the heels of the citation of the passage we are provided what can only

A Quick Refutation of Another Attempt to Get Around John 6

James White, April 4, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

A listener to the Dividing Line sent in a URL and asked me to respond to the presentation contained therein. The link is here. As the argumentation is sadly common, I hope others are benefited by the continued demonstration of the consistency of God’s Word over against the traditions of men. My replies are in bold purple and indented. John 6 is one

The importance of cross examination

James White, February 10, 2004, The Dividing Line

James discusses today about the importance of debates, and with his disappointed announcement that Dr Strauss cancelled his debate on the KJV-only position, explains how important cross examination is in a debate. Then he moves on to a question on the BAM show about election and predestination in relation to libertarian free-will. A Mormon calls in and discusses free-will in

The Arrow That Wasteth by Day

James White, February 3, 2004, Reformed Apologetics

It’s so great to find various barbs cast your direction first thing in the morning, especially the morning after you teach for five hours straight (which, while tremendously enjoyable, is likewise very demanding). I get to go from the sublime (sitting with bright students reading directly from the text of Ignatius last evening, noting, for example, his tremendous description of

Blurring the Dividing Line:The Legacy of Phillips,Craig and Dean

Eric Nielsen, April 21, 2002, General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism

This legacy article was written prior to 2006 by Eric Nielsen for Alpha & Omega Ministries. Some of the hyperlinks may no longer function, but the information is still correct. Their songs have been standards for years in Contemporary Christian Music. They have gained legions of appreciative fans among evangelicals with their well-written lyrics, beautiful harmonies, and high-quality production values.

By What Authority Indeed? – James White vs. Mark Bonocore

James White, March 28, 2002, Roman Catholicism

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

The Prologue of the Gospel of John

James White, December 27, 2001, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism

Chapter 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was Deity. This verse provides the framework not only for the prologue that encompasses verses one through eighteen, but for the entire Gospel itself. The prologue functions, I believe, as an “interpretive window” for the entire Gospel. John means us to read

Same Sex Controversy part 2 of 3: Refuting 8 Revisionist Theories about Romans 1

James White, September 1, 2001, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

As societal rebellion against God increases, all truths of Scripture become targets, include what God’s law says against sins like homosexuality, about which there are currently a flood of new books. Callers try their best to respond to some of the pro-homosex theories based clear statements of the text, and Dr. White fills in additional exegesis and historical background to

Response to Dave Hunt on Reformed Theology, Part 2 of 3, Election

James White, June 30, 2001, The Dividing Line

James White continues to explain how Dave Hunt attacks a mere straw man of Reformed Theology, from sloppy use of a concordance to relegating the soteriological golden chain of Romans 8 to a mere special blessing that only some Christians receive. A caller asks about the relationship between the sovereignty of God and temptation.

An Excellent Example of Sola Ecclesia: John 6 and Exegesis

James White, April 5, 2001, Roman Catholicism

Over the years I have often surprised people by asserting that there is one passage of Scripture that is so clear, so perspicuous, that I have never seen a meaningful, coherent, contextually-based interpretation of it that does not teach with clarity the glorious freedom of God in the salvation of His elect people. That passage is John 6:35-45. This passage formed

John 6, the Father and the Son, Salvation, and Roman Catholic Apologists

James White, March 12, 2001, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism

“James White Has Been Proven Wrong So Many Times, It Isn’t Funny” So runs part of the headline on Scott Windsor’s “response” to his appearance on our webcast. I swore I would not even waste my time looking at it. Many felt I had wasted an entire program a few weeks ago having an amateur “apologist” on the program, Scott

Discussion on “Neo-Pop-Arminianism” of James Barker in Debate with James White

Rich Pierce, February 3, 2001, The Dividing Line

Rich Pierce is joined by Simon and Michael to play the opening statement of James Barker and review his misrepresentations of Reformed theology in his presentation against it. This inconsistency was partly due to his neglect of reading his Dr. White’s work on the issue, and partly from his combination of Arminianism with accepting “once saved, always saved” and only

An IRC Chat on John 17:5

James White, November 18, 2000, Jehovah's Witnesses

We began #prosapologian, our IRC channel, to provide resources and information for people on-line. Over the months we’ve noticed that some folks (particularly, a man with the nick rstamp, i.e., Rick Stamp) would come into the channel, engage in a discussion or debate, and would then log the conversation. The log would then be posted on a web page, liberally

A Discussion of Psalm 82

James White, May 8, 1998, Mormonism

In April of 1998, James White appeared on radio station KTKK in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of the callers to the program was Dr. William Hamblin of Brigham Young University. Dr. Hamblin did not identify himself when he called in, but asked James White concerning the variant reading of Deuteronomy 32:8 in the Dead Sea Scrolls. After

The Strange Saga of the BYU Correspondence (aka, Nastigrams ‘R Us)

James White, April 29, 1998, Mormonism

If I hadn’t received these notes myself, I’d question their validity. But, since these very same notes have been posted on the SHIELDS web page (http://shields-research.org/Critics/A-O_01.html), you can verify for yourself that these are indeed the writings of leading LDS scholars Daniel Peterson and Louis Midgely. Here’s the background: My son and I spent four hours on KTKK radio in

What DID Christ Teach? – A Response to an LDS Tract

James White, April 29, 1998, Mormonism

You’ve got to give him credit: he’s consistent. Craig Ray, the self-proclaimed President (and sole member) of the “Alpha and Omega Watchdog Committee,” has been trying to provide an answer to the evangelical claims of our ministry amongst Mormons for years now. From the first time I received a letter from Craig (with Magic Marker A&O Watchdog Committee letterhead), he’s

100 Verses for Witnessing to Mormons

James White, February 1, 1988, Mormonism

“The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 KJV). The ability to utilize the Word of God accurately and correctly in the witnessing situation

1st Reply to James White from Dennis McKinsey

James White, December 11, 1987, Atheism

Reply by Mr. McKinsey, as contained in the August 1986 edition of “Biblical Errancy.” Sections correspond to the sections placed in the previous letter. Section A: Dear JW. Like you, I have encountered the same arguments on numerous occasions and your “out-of-context” pleading is one of the most common. You alluded to point #18 in the May 1986 commentary and

Second Reply to James White from Mr. McKinsey

James White, December 11, 1987, Atheism

Mr. McKinsey’s response to the above letter as contained in the October and November issues of “Biblical Errancy.” Section A: Dear JW. So many of your comments warrant analysis that one hardly knows where to begin. (1) You state that there is no reason to suppose that Jesus’ original command to his disciples was meant to be eternal. But what

Third Reply to James White from Mr. McKinsey

James White, December 11, 1987, Atheism

(The following is Mr. McKinsey’s lengthy response to the first section of the above letter as it appears in the April 1987 edition of Biblical Errancy). Dear JW. After several months of correspondence it’s rather obvious, but unfortunate, that you have a notable array of shortcomings including a failure to listen very well, a strong propensity to belabor points that have

The Hall of Shame

James White, December 11, 1987, Atheism

Below I deal with a few classic examples of the kind of errors made by McKinsey in BE over the years. This is by no means anywhere near an exhaustive list – just a few (to use his own words) imbroglios he has managed to get himself into in his attack upon God’s Word. In the December 1983 issue of

Paul…(18) Jesus — “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matt. 15:24) and “…Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But
