My on-going debate with Mr. Bellisario over Sola Scriptura has progressed, and now his rebuttal has been posted to the debate blog (link). There was some delay in the process because of email troubles (per an email I received from him today, I had missed 2(!) emails that had previously sent me, meanwhile for the…

Trinity vs. Oneness Debate (1999) White vs. Sabin – Part 1
The following video is part of a Trinity vs. Oneness Debate held in 1999, between James White (Trinitarian) vs. Robert Sabin (Oneness). This is the first part of the debate, including the introduction and Dr. White’s opening presentation. Even though it is only the first part, it is about 51 minutes long. One particularly nice…

"Jesus Loves Me" – Critique of Hymn 633
One thing I really disliked about Pastor Shishko’s cross-examination of Dr. White in their debate on baptism was Pastor Shishko’s suggestion that believers should teach their children to sing Trinity Hymnal #633, which the hymnal indexes, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” First of all, the only religious songs authorized in Scripture are those found in the…

Is Christianity the Problem?
I recently enjoyed listening to a debate between Dinesh D’Souza (representing the Christian point of view) and Christopher Hitchens (representing the non-Christian point of view) on the topic: Is Christianity the Problem? While Dinesh used some arguments I would never use (and seemed to base part of his argument on “free will” in a libertarian…

Genuine Christian Apostasy Debate

JCT will be the affirmative in the debate, affirming a resolution that denies that the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints is consistent with Scripture. I will be the negative, defending PotS as…

Sola Scriptura Debate – Errata
I seem to have conflated Wycliffe and Tyndale in my opening post. (Image of Wycliffe’s Bible shown at right.) I wrote: “The first English Bible was not published until the time of Wycliffe in the 14th century. Wycliffe received martyrdom for his troubles, and the papist authorities sought to destroy the copies of the Bible…

First Post of the First Round of Sola Scriptura Debate Posted
The post may be found here (link). I have titled the debate “Sola Scriptura vs. Roman Catholicism,” not because I am unaware of the different rites that exist within what calls itself “Catholicism,” but because I must deny (with all non-“Roman Catholic” Christians) that the church headed by the Pope is the universal church. Thus,…

After-Splash – Paul Hoffer Responds to Holy Water Debate
Some time ago, PhatCatholic and I concluded a debate on the alleged efficacy of Holy Water (link to debate). Now, Paul Hoffer has taken up the cause in support of PhatCatholic’s position. His initial post is here (link), though I understand he plans a series of additional posts on the subject. A few quick thoughts…

One Month to First Post in new Sola Scriptura Debate
I have accepted a challenge from Mr. Matthew Bellisario to debate Sola Scriptura. The announcement post is up on my debate blog (link). This debate is rather spaced out (the first post is not for one month) and is not expected to interfere with the Romans 9 debate that I have planned with GodisMyJudge. -TurretinFan…
