Nadir Ahmed v. Dr. James White
Here’s a debate that Dr. White conducted with a Muslim opponent. I’m providing all eleven segments embedded below. I thought that the debate went very well for Dr. White, but that’s mostly because his opponent clearly did not have a clue how to debate. Dr. White’s opponent committed many rookie mistakes. For example, he failed…

John Gill’s Magnum Opus
John Gill was an amazingly prolific writer.

Federal Vision Sock-Puppetry
Suppose one cannot find a person ignorant enough to be good for mockery. Some folks will go out and create an ignorant opponent, in order to suggest that this one’s typical opponent. An example of such charades is the “Anti-Federal Vision Study Bible” mock web site (link). Doug Wilson posts against this anonymous sock-puppet web…
