James WhiteOn today's Dividing Line we began with a further refutation of the constantly repeated falsehood on the part of Rome's defenders concerning the "33,000 Protestant denominations" claim. We invited Tim Staples to call, but alas, he didn't. Then we began reviewing Bart Ehrman's appearance on The Infidel Guy's webcast. Here's the program (free/high quality).
add to discussionJames Swan Catholic apologists often let us know how crucial it is to have an infallible magisterium help one interpret the Bible correctly. With so many Catholic apologists now commenting on sacred scripture, I thought it would be interesting to provide their commentary on the Bible. Let's see how they've been able to rightly divide the word of truth . I'll post their interpretations as I come across them. In this first installment, Catholic apologist Tim Staples explains Romans 5:12, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and dea... [read more]
add to discussionJames White Rich just informed me that we have reached our goal and will be able to order the audio/video computer. My sincerest thanks to all who participated. I hope as you see the videos going out and read about people being blessed thereby that you will feel a part of what we are doing here. I would like to also thank you for providing the two volumes of Origen's commentaries as well. They were purchased this morning from my ministry resources list. I look forward to being able to check some important assertions against these resources in prepara... [read more]
add to discussionJames WhiteI understand we are within $200 of the audio/video machine, for which I am very grateful. I just added two very high priority items to my ministry resource wishlist, comprising Origen's commentaries on John. I need to check some textual references in preparation for the Ehrman debate, but, if I don't have them, I'll survive. Just like to track down references!
add to discussionJames Swan On the last 2008 broadcast of Catholic Answers live, Tim Staples continued perpetuating the myth that there are 33,000 Protestant denominations (this MP3 can be heard here). Some time back Dr. White gave a thorough examination of this claim, as has Eric Svendsen. If you interact with those espousing Catholic apologetics, I suggest reviewing these links and keeping them handy. They clearly show a misuse by Catholic apologists of a source and statistics. That this popular falsehood made it to the last 2008 broadcast by one of Rome's "top apologists" (as CA Live sta... [read more]
add to discussionJames White Dear A&O ministries, I have been very fond of this ministry for at least a decade now. I began my "religious" experience back when I became a member of the LDS church in high school. Some friends and myself were attending a general conference when I had ventured to cross the street to get some lunch at the nearby mall. A lady was handing me a tracts near the temple square sidewalks which contrasted Mormon grace and Christian grace. On the way back from our trip, heading to Idaho, I had a chance to ponder what was on that tract. I didn't ever see t... [read more]
add to discussionJames WhiteI began today addressing Hebrews 2:9 and following, demonstrating the a-contextual, eisegetical use of the text by Arminians. I then addressed question #79 on William Lane Craig's website which mentions my comments on Romans 9 and John 6:65. Then we took a number of calls on textual critical issues before returning, briefly, to listening to the Covenanter's Call radio program on KJV Onlyism. Here's the program (free/high quality).
