Dr. White's Humanity and Augustine on the Bodily Presence of Christ
Dr. White is human. To those of us who know and love him, this is no surprise. We realize that he is a man, just like us, and that consequently he makes mistakes. As Alexander Pope said, “To err is human, to forgive divine.” Dr. White is human and he, from time to time, errs.Recently…

Why You Shouldn't Read Anyone Else's Blog
(except mine of course) If you were expecting a defense of the title of this post (or the sub-title above), you are in for a let-down. It’s not serious. It’s a tongue-in-cheek facetious remark aimed at scolding Mr. Nick Norelli who (in this recent post) just doesn’t get it. Mr. Norelli makes the claim that…

Christ's Voluntary Death
I greatly enjoyed the following video by Dr. James White, explaining to a Muslim antagonist the voluntary nature of Christ’s death on the cross: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkRdmuVEVcM&hl=en&fs=1&w=425&h=344] I would add that there is more revelation that declares that Jesus’ sacrifice was voluntary, namely in the prophecy of that great prophet, the prophet Isaiah (prophecying of Jesus…

Update on Dr. White and God's Desire
On today’s Dividing Line radio program, Dr. White provided Tom Ascol’s discussion regarding the decrees of God, and the sense in which we can say that God desires that his commands be obeyed. Ascol also apparently noted that repenting and believing are God’s commands. Dr. White indicated that he agreed with Ascol’s comments. Presumably, this…

"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…

1 John 3:16 "love of God" or just "love"?
As Dr. White mentioned in his radio program yesterday, the Authorized version (KJV) has “love of God,” in 1 John 3:16, where most other versions do not, and where (apparently) few Greek texts have the words. The most popular versions of the KJV place the words “of God” in italics, which is usually used to…

I have posted these without listening to them first, so I may update this page, once I have listened to them, for caveats etc. Is Muhammed a Prophet?

Dr. White's More Recent Debate
While Ponter’s colleagues are raising a tempest about Dr. White’s debate with Steve Gregg, Dr. White has recently concluded another debate: this one against a Muslim opponent. Here are a couple of crowd reactions to that debate, and even more to some informal discussion Dr. White provided after the debate at a local restaurant: Fusion!…

Response to Hitchens' Complaint about Human Suffering
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gH88r14pVg&rel=1&w=425&h=355] In the video above, Dr. James White addresses atheist Christopher Hitchens’ complaint that man was suffering for a long time, while God was just watching. What is the answer? Hitchens has not addressed Christianity. Christianity asserts that God has had a plan from the very beginning and that nothing comes to pass that…
