  • Revelation 16:5 Debate – Opening Argument

    The following is my planned opening argument in the Revelation 16:5 debate: The angel of the waters said (and John heard), “hosios” (or perhaps hesed) and John wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and command of Jesus Christ, “hosios.” Therefore, Beza was wrong to replace “hosios” with “esomenos,” and the King James translators ought…

  • Debate Proposal for Debate with Will Kinney

    Here’s an outline of debate proposal for a hoped-for debate with Will Kinney regarding whether (and on what basis) the King James Version (Pure Cambridge Edition, 1900) and Scrivener’s Textus Receptus (1881/94) can be improved. I. Names One of the more difficult questions in translation is how to translate names.  When it comes to the…

  • Debate Against Icons

    Images for Religious Veneration are a Grave Evil First, they distract from the true image of God.  Human beings are said to be in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27 and 9:6), the husband in a special way (1 Corinthians 11:7), and Christ in the most special way is the Image of God (2 Corinthians…

  • Is the word, “Easter,” in Acts 12:4 a wrong translation?

  • TurretinFan vs. Joshua Gibbs – Perseverance of the Saints Debate (predicted affirmative constructive)

    I look forward to this debate with Mr. Gibbs.   What is the position I’m defending? Westminster Confession of Faith – Chapter 17 1. They whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein…

  • James 2:24 Debate with William Albrecht

    Roman Catholics shouldn’t cite James 2:24, because it doesn’t mean what they think it means. Last Saturday I conducted a debate with William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) on the topic of the meaning of James 2:24. (link to mp3) I hope you enjoy it, particularly the cross-examination section. With all due respect to Mr. Albrecht, I…

  • Two Recent Debates

Intercession of the Saints – William Albrecht vs. TurretinFan (link to debate page)(direct link to mp3). I’d like to provide more comments on the debates, but I lack time…

  • Responding to Zakir Hussain's "Land of Canaan" Argument

    The second prophecy that Zakir Hussain used in his recent debate with Dr. White is the fact (in the linked mp3, see 12:40 – 13:19) that God promised to give the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham. This was indeed a prophecy given first to Abraham (then called Abram): Genesis 15:18-21 In the…
