The Closing Of The Old Testament Canon
I’ve been going through Catholic apologist Gary Michuta’s new book, Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger. Obvious from the title, the book attempts to validate the apocryphal Old Testament books found in Roman Catholic Bibles. Michuta argues the Jewish canon was open until the middle decades of the second century. This late closing of the Hebrew canon allows for the canonicity
Greetings from Toronto! (Armstrong Update)
I have once again made it across the border, and look forward greatly to meeting the saints here in Toronto. My flights were in the main uneventful, but now I am rushing to make some major changes to my presentations in light of some studying I was doing on the way up here. I am thankful for the technology to
Quick Update: Marty Minto Rescheduled
I sort of expected this would happen, and in fact, I’m happy it has, in a sense. Marty has been swamped with requests for interviews, and is driving to do a television interview even now, so he won’t be able to join us on the DL until next Tuesday morning. Pray for him as he has a unique opportunity to
Conversation Stopping Verses and Identifying Eisegesis
Dr. White tells the story of encountering a Jehovah’s Witness that was deeply experienced at arguing against the deity of Christ, but was stumped by a simple question of soteriology. The show covers examples of groups that attempt to import false assumptions into a bible verse, including Roman Catholics and tradition, and LDS on baptism for the dead. A caller
The Slander-Fest Continues
Evidently the spirit of the Inquisition lives on. As you may know, men wrote in defense of the use of torture and imprisonment during the dark days of the Inquisition because they believed that since to be separated from the Church was to experience eternal loss, it was better to torture the body temporarily now than to lose the soul
Having A Laugh With Catholic Apologist Mark Shea
A recent blog entry from Catholic apologist Mark Shea demonstrates the difference in purpose between Catholics and Protestants. Mark took some shots at Dr. White’s work on the recent Jesus Tomb controversy. Shea writes, “James is now stuck with thousands of copies of his laborious prose sitting in boxes in his garage. So he naturally tries to make lemonade from
The Catholic Myth of 33,000 Protestant Denominations is Alive and Well
On the last 2008 broadcast of Catholic Answers live, Tim Staples continued perpetuating the myth that there are 33,000 Protestant denominations (this MP3 can be heard here). Some time back Dr. White gave a thorough examination of this claim, as has Eric Svendsen. If you interact with those espousing Catholic apologetics, I suggest reviewing these links and keeping them handy.
Jimmy Akin and Catholic Answers
Last year, right after the Great Debate on Long Island, I got in contact with Jimmy Akin again. We had tried to get him involved in the annual debates on Long Island, twice he had agreed, and twice had pulled out. This had led us to be hesitant to even ask, since it is so hard to “fix” things when
