Debate: Is The Apocrypha Scripture? Gary Michuta, Long Island, New York, 5/20/2004

, , Debate, The Dividing Line

A very interesting debate where both sides make strong cases, until one examines the other. Michuta makes a strong opening statement, however it is refuted by Dr. White during rebuttal. For the rest of the debate Michuta makes no attempt to deal with Dr. White’s countering evidence, and simply gives responses grounded in accusations of misunderstanding and deliberate mischaracterization. This

Debate: Purgatory: Biblical or Mythical? Fr. Peter Stravinskas, Long Island, New York, 5/24/2001

, , Debate, Roman Catholicism

Is it necessary to have the sins purged of those who are in Christ Jesus before they can go to heaven?

, , Debate, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Dr. White explains how his debate with Richard Hopkins started late, with an opponent that did not understand Reformed Theology or the use of a Greek lexicon very well. The “mainstreaming” of the LDS image leads to less debating and lower quality responses to Dr. White’s book Letter to a Mormon Elder. A caller asks about Roman Catholicism in relation

Debate: Justification by Faith? Robert Sungenis, Long Island, New York, 5/25/2000

, , Debate, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Is the Roman Catholic Church correct when she says that we can merit justification? Was the Council of Trent right after all? Can we lose our justification? Or is the Protestant Reformation correct in saying that a man is justified by faith alone, apart from works? Is Christ’s imputed righteousness enough to allow us to stand before a Holy God,
