They Love Not the Truth

James White, February 1, 2014, Theology Matters

When we observe the length to which some men will go to preserve their little empires and protect their little kingdoms, we can see how deeply deception can enwrap the heart of a man. This is playing out in a small little Baptist school in the backwoods of Georgia, where Ergun Caner has taken up residence as President of Brewton-Parker

Calvinist Derangement Syndrome Case #1756: Peter Lumpkins and the Looniest Muslim Apologist

James White, January 10, 2014, Uncategorized

So I was working through the morning “stuff” on line (RSS feeds, emails, cuing up The Briefing) when someone in channel pointed me to another Lumpkins hit piece against yours truly. Nothing new, same ol’ same ol’ from Petey, until I saw a section that caught my attention: Consider the arrogant earful one Muslim apologist apparently received from James White after attempting

Truly Strange Bedfellows

James White, January 1, 2014, Uncategorized

I was just directed to the combox of Peter Lumpkins’ recent blog post, which I addressed briefly at the end of the last Dividing Line. I find there one of the clearest examples of how hatred (in this case, hatred of yours truly) can bring together so many amazingly different people. Think about the rogues gallery of folks who have

New World Order Bible Versions!

James White, November 11, 2013, King James Onlyism

Tomorrow on the Dividing Line I am going to address the new trailer for “New World Order Bible Versions.” Take a look at it: Now, I will be providing the context for part of the video, where they have, obviously, attempted to make it look like I walked out of the interview. Of course, I made sure we recorded the

Response to Dr. Shabir Ally, Part IV (Conclusion)

James White, November 1, 2013, Exegesis, Islam

I hurry to finish my response to the article published by Dr. Shabir Ally shortly after our debate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa in early October. This is the fourth, and thankfully, final portion of my response. Dr. Ally continued: James was clearly in a bind. He could not answer my points, and I had answered all

Response to Dr. Ally, Part III

James White, October 30, 2013, Islam

Before flying to Vancouver over the weekend I began responding to an article posted by Dr. Shabir Ally relating to the substance of our debate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, which took place on Tuesday, October 8th. I had come to the fourth point in Dr. Ally’s presentation: My fourth reason for thinking that the original disciples

A Response to Dr. Shabir Ally (Part 2)

James White, October 24, 2013, Islam, Uncategorized

Third, no writings survive from the disciples themselves. The Second Letter of Peter is admitted even by conservative scholars to be written after Peter’s death. The First Letter of Peter is disputed as to whether or not Peter wrote it. Some scholars think he wrote it; others think he did not. Hence we cannot rely on that letter either. 1)

A Response to Dr. Shabir Ally (Part 1)

James White, October 21, 2013, Uncategorized

As most of our readers know, I was greatly blessed to have the opportunity to travel to South Africa and engage in a series of six debates recently with defenders of the Islamic faith. This included two debates in mosques, and four at universities. My opponents were Bashir Varnia (in Lenasia), Yusuf Bux (in Johannesburg), Yusuf Ismail (in Potchefstroom) and

A Post and Pre Debate Note to Shabir Ally

James White, October 8, 2013, Atheism, Islam

Dear Shabir: Last evening in the mosque in Erasmia you raised, I believe anyway for the first time in our encounters, your booklet of 100 alleged contradictions in the Bible. I have had your little booklet for quite some time. But I will be honest, I assumed it was an “early” work for you, and as such, I did not

Response to Jason Reed’s Apostasy Story

TurretinFan, October 6, 2013, Roman Catholicism

Jason Reed recently joined Rome’s communion. Because he’s served as a seminary professor at Southern Evangelical Seminary, his apostasy to Rome’s communion has made waves in certain circles. Mike Schulte was kind enough to post a 56 minute video that includes a recent talk given by Jason, in which he explains his move. No summary of Reed’s story will be

Inside the Mind of a Conspiratorialist

James White, September 3, 2013, Misc

A few months ago I ran into one of the writers for the “Do Right Christians” blog, a “Dr. Ach.” I discovered, very, very quickly, that logical thought and honesty is not a high priority on this particular website, and immediately dropped the non-discussion. I thought the background looked familiar when I was directed to an article today by a

Radio Free Geneva DL!

James White, August 15, 2013, The Dividing Line

Jumba/Mega? Well, it wasn’t 90 minutes, and it wasn’t 120 minutes, it was…105 minutes. So, somewhere in between I guess. And even with that, I didn’t get back to Bashir Vania or Yusuf Ismail, so, we are planning on an early afternoon DL tomorrow to catch up! I started off replying to at least the beginning of Anthony Buzzard’s response

A Case Study in Apostasy

James White, May 23, 2013, Roman Catholicism

Evidently, you cannot identify apostasy in today’s world, let alone passionately call someone to repent of it lest they experience the wrath of God’s judgment, lest you run afoul of the new cultural First Commandment, Thou Shalt Be Nice. Sometimes being nice is the coward’s way out. I would say most of my failures as a parent were related to

How to Get an Infraction from Catholic Answers

James Swan, April 25, 2013, Roman Catholicism

For those of you who’ve listened to the recent Dividing Line broadcast, I’d like to provide a little background on the section in which Dr. White played a Roman Catholic calling Steve Gregg’s The Narrow Path radio show. Since there’s a good chance this call may eventually get me banned from Catholic Answers, I might as well document what happened.

A Very Brief Rejoinder to Bassam Zawadi

James White, March 22, 2013, Islam

I am getting ready for a quick trip to New York (well, a trip to New York used to be a long trip, until I flew to Sydney, which makes all trips inside the US seem short) and have other things I need to get done, but I was directed to an article, here, that I wanted to respond to

Biblical Theology, Trinity, etc.

Jeff Downs, August 31, 2012, Resources

There are a few resources that need to brought to your attention, if you don’t already know about them. First, you should know that Stuart Robinson’s Discourses of Redemption is back in print. And as far as I know, the GPTS bookstore is the only one in the US that currently has this in stock. As a matter of fact,

Dave Hunt: Repeater of Fully Refuted Fables

James White, July 30, 2012, Reformed Apologetics

I suppose it is possible the folks at the Berean Call are just recycling articles these days. But I was directed this afternoon to an article in the July 2012 newsletter from TBC titled “Calvinism’s Surprising Catholic Connection.” There is nothing new here, it’s the same tired and refuted material we encountered in Debating Calvinism. Dave’s willingness to use the

Response to Jason Stellman

TurretinFan, July 25, 2012, Roman Catholicism

Jason Stellman has officially announced his intention to join the Roman communion at the “Called to Communion” blog. However, in the meantime, that post has been removed. It’s unclear why it was removed, but the following are comments on the post that was put up on July 24, 2012. Jason writes: Part of me has wished for a while now

Paul Williams And the Charge of “Extreme Fundamentalism”

James White, July 22, 2012, Reformed Apologetics

Hammer to the Nail (Ps. 1)

Jeff Downs, June 29, 2012, Christian Worldview

As a seminary student (5 years and counting), preparing for gospel ministry, I have had the great privilege of exhorting/preaching (whatever you’d like to call it) quite a bit. There are times when I’m able to preach in the same place, and there are other times when I’m simply all over the map. Well, Psalm 1 is a text I

The Council of Jerusalem and Enscripturation

James Swan, June 26, 2012, Roman Catholicism

I subscribe to a number of Roman Catholic e-letters. One such e-letter is John Martignoni’s Apologetics for the Masses. In a recent issue, Mr. Martignoni presents an argument in regard to the Council of Jerusalem as a proof for Roman Catholcism: “One last thing to note here when talking about the Council of Jerusalem. I need to highlight the fact that

Steve Ray’s Letter Addressed

TurretinFan, June 11, 2012, Roman Catholicism

Steve Ray, pilgrimage peddler, has posted an apparently fictional letter from “Lenny” to “Beau”: Hi Beau, you mention “that Scripture is sufficient to teach us.” There is a problem with your statement is this; it is not in the Bible. Nowhere does it say that we should follow Scripture alone “Sola Scriptura” or that it is all sufficient. Isn’t it

In honor of Article Two…

Mike Porter, June 5, 2012, Christian Worldview

In honor of Article Two of the “traditional” Southern Baptist view of salvation, I would like to provide a citation from the Abstract of Systematic Theology by James P. Boyce, published originally in 1887. Boyce has the distinction of being the founder and first president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and President of the Southern Baptist Convention (1872-79,1888): II. FACTS

The KJV and “Lucifer”

Dr. Alan Kurschner, March 28, 2012, King James Onlyism

Daniel Wallace wrote an article clearing up perennial confused renderings in the King James Version of the Bible. He concludes, “ have misread a transliteration as though it were a proper name, then assumed that the underlying Hebrew text meant Lucifer, embracing the false conclusion that calling the king ‘the morning star’ in Isa 14.12 and Christ the ‘morning star’

Did the Acts 15 “Council” Rely on the Exegesis of Scripture?

TurretinFan, February 18, 2012, Roman Catholicism

Jason Stewart (whose apostasy was recently discussed), has posted a fictitious (and apparently also intended as facetious) dialog under the title, “Taking a Stand on the Scriptures Against the Traditions of Men.” The title is mocking, of course. Stewart posits a hypothetical dialog between two Judaizers in the mid-first century. Stewart’s attempt flops for a number of significant reasons, which

“Your Interpretation of” – a Common Objection Debunked

TurretinFan, February 15, 2012, Roman Catholicism

The Called to Communion clique is fond of replacing “Scripture” with “your interpretation of Scripture.” This has the rhetorical effect of making the appeal to Scripture sound less authoritative. After all, “that’s just your interpretation” is idiomatic of something that has little value. It’s part of the culture of relativism, in which your interpretation is just as good as my

Does Allah Preserve His Words?

TurretinFan, February 8, 2012, Islam

Since I am on James White’s blogging team, and am friends with him, I was sure to carefully read an article posted with the alarming title, “Exposing James White’s Deceit and Ignorance of Islamic Scripture,” from the “Calling Christians” website. The title wasn’t supported by the body of the piece. “Deceit and Ignorance” turned out to be, at most, a

The Discernment Gap: Showing a Lack of Passion for God’s Honor and Glory

James White, January 30, 2012, Post-Evangelicalism

I need to be brief, as I have many pressing duties. Reading the commentary on the Elephant Room 2 events, and in particular, the alleged rehabilitation (repentance?) of TD Jakes has truly been brought me sadness. Sure, I know that very few Evangelicals, even scholars, have much experience with modalists and Oneness advocates, but still, the general ease with which

Of Middle Aged White Guys and Repentance

James White, January 28, 2012, Theology Matters

The Christian life is a life of repentance. Every day involves a consistently repentant attitude before God, trusting in the finished work of Christ. Despite the non-gospels so prevalent today where repentance is made an after-thought, or an option, there is no gospel without repentance. So when someone tells me to repent, I want to know exactly what they are

Why I Love Jesus and Keep His Commandments

TurretinFan, January 21, 2012, Islam

I understand that my friend, Dr. James White, may be preparing a better response to “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Muslim Version,” but I want to chime in now, while it is fresh on my mind (rather than waiting 24 years – just sayin’). I’ll respond in chunks to the lyrics. The production quality was pretty good

The Foundation of Our Religion is the Word

TurretinFan, January 3, 2012, Roman Catholicism

A poster using the handle “Gabriel Serafin” wrote: Protestantism is a religion based on a book. But Jesus Christ did not hand out Bibles, He established a Church and gave her authority to teach. God gave us the Bible through His Church; thus the Catholic Church defined the Canon of Scripture in the first place. “Bible-only Christians” who dismiss the
