James White’s Opening Statement: Boston College, 1995, Part II

   In between launching ad-hominems and generally avoiding ever touching the text of Scripture, Art Sippo, medical doctor and sometimes Roman Catholic apologist has been holding forth on the errors of Calvinism.

Here are a few highlights.        Gerry Matatics says he’s continuing his 300-city mega tour “contrary to the hopes of my many enemies, critics, and detractors.” Gerry says:    “I pull no punches and make no apologies for opposing, and exposing, the novelties, oddities, heresies,
