1946: The Movie
David Gushee abandons a biblical view of homosexuality
Sorry for the very late posting! This program primarily focused upon the comments made by David Gushee in reference to his abandonment of a consistently biblical view of homosexuality, Matthew Vines’ Twitter comments demanding the celebration of homosexuality, and then (switching gears), Austin Fischer and Romans 9.

“White Nature,” the 1946 Lie, Jimmy Akin
Three main topics today on a 75 minute edition of the Dividing Line: first, asking what Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, means by “white nature” and where this concept comes from. Second, we look at the trailer for the 1946 movie that is being fund-raised for...
A Believing Response to Matthew Vines’ 40 Questions
Matthew Vines has posted a series of forty questions, found here. I have written up a fairly brief response. I hope it is helpful. Do you accept that sexual orientation is not a choice? The very question simplifies the topic to a ridiculous level, Matthew. The desires a human...
“Gay Christianity” Debated
Originally posted 5/22/2013 James White and Justin Lee dialogue on the question, “Can you be a Christian homosexual” in Helena, Montana at the 2013 Reformation Montana conference. Though a debate in format, this was more of a dialogue, as Justin Lee dislikes the term “debate” and would not engage...
A Response to Matthew Vines
Al Mohler, Jim Hamilton, Denny Burk, Owen Strachan, and Heath Lambert have put together a booklet responding to Matthew Vines. Here are the chapters: “God, the Gospel and the Gay Challenge: A Response to Matthew Vines” “How to Condone What the Bible Condemns: Matthew Vines Takes on the Old...
Eichenwald and Newsweek Refuted: Part 2
Today we spent another 90 minutes responding to Kurt Eichenwald’s Newsweek hit-piece on the Bible. I informed Mr. Eichenwald of the program and opened the phone lines for him to respond, but he chose not to. Please share these programs with those who have encountered the Newsweek article! Here...
Ahmed Deedat
Refuting the Shallow Arguments of Zakir Naik
As most of you know, Zakir Naik is a wildly popular Islamic speaker in the mode of Ahmed Deedat. Unfortunately, Naik knows better than to debate those who can demonstrate his errors. Which is why he remains so popular, it seems! But he cannot hide his many falsehoods. David...
Zakir Naik Illustrates the Dual Face of Islam When in the Public Square
Very interesting contrast from Zakir Naik’s own mouth (again illustrating why Naik refuses to debate those who could expose his arguments).
Zakir Naik’s Claims on Muhammad in the Bible
Here is my third and final response to Zakir Naik’s appearance on The Deen Show. What I did was take my opening statement from my debate with Shabir Ally on this topic from London in November of last year, along with my comments on Deuteronomy 18:18 from the preceding...
Shabir Ally
Debate: Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons? with Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia 11/13/2019
On November 13, 2019, James White debated Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA on the topic Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons?
Response to Dr. Shabir Ally, Part IV (Conclusion)
I hurry to finish my response to the article published by Dr. Shabir Ally shortly after our debate at the University of Pretoria in South Africa in early October. This is the fourth, and thankfully, final portion of my response. Dr. Ally continued: James was clearly in a bind....

Baptists for the Holy Roman Empire, the Variant at 1 Timothy 3:16
As promised, I looked over the “Sacralism on Steroids” graphic put out by the “New Christian Right” putting Donald Trump as Constantine (seriously) and noted the simplistic history that always accompanies these kinds of movements. Then we looked at the variant at 1 Timothy 3:16 as it was addressed...
Priests and Confession, Real Purgatory, TR Onlyism, and More!
A little bit of everything for folks today, from reviewing a thread promoting priestly confession to reading through a description of purgatory to listening to Dr. Riddle promoting TR Onlyism.
Bible Transmission
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity – One Point of Contrast
Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Atheism
Why Is Your Soul Distressed? Then, A Bit More with Calvin
Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff—we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important–and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from...
Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion
Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and...
Road Trip #3: The Sad Situation with Steven Anderson, then, Ammon Hillman Reveals His True Intentions

Theology Matters
A Dialogue with Grok 3.0
A number of times over the past year I have ended up in discussions with Grok about theology, transcendent reality, and it’s task of being “maximally truthful.” It doesn’t take long for the conversation to become presuppositional, I can assure you of that, and it does so at Grok’s...
Run From Andrew Tate
I confess, this entire issue leaves me astonished. Sure, it is part of judgment, yes, our hands are covered with blood, so yes, the Lord is just to turn us upon ourselves. I get all of that. “We need examples of masculinity” is all I hear. Look, the family,...
The Sin of Worry
Anxiety. Worry. I will confess, it is a besetting sin. I am not sure why. Maybe I picked it up from my parents, not because they expressed it to me, but because I was astute enough to recognize how difficult their lives were. How little we had, and how...
The Gracious Lens of Romans 1
One of the strongest arguments I know for the inspiration of Scripture is Romans 1. Why? Because all of mankind in all of his many centuries of writing about himself has never come close to the depth and accuracy of Paul’s diagnosis of man, the creature, in rebellion against...
On Presidential Immunity and the SCOTUS
Rational people had come to the same conclusion SCOTUS did on the topic of Presidential immunity for, well, as long as the republic has existed. You cannot have a functioning Presidency if the President can be imprisoned after his term for doing what he had to do as President....
1946 Movie Producers Doing a Road Trip
So I just got an email from the promoters of the 1946 Movie—the film that has face-planted, badly, since its “release” months ago. For some reason, its producers have kept it next to impossible to actually see, and, having seen it myself, I know why (it’s horrible). They are...
On the “Socinian Method”
Well, I guess there has been some progress. At least now I know that yes, brother Briggs was making reference to me, hence, I am a dangerous man to be warned about globally, evidently. I doubt I will get much in the way of serious response about the allegation...
On the Decree and the Actions of God’s Elect
You can tell when certain folks have just completely run out of meaningful commentary and argumentation, or, never possessed any to begin with. When people argue that someone who accepts the biblical teaching of God’s sovereign decree, election, the perfection of the atonement, etc., should, as a result, not...
About that 70 Million Number on Twitter
Well, I should probably just get on my bike and let this whole thing blow over, but, I really can’t. There are some important points that, as is normally the case, are being lost in the fog of battle. Maybe someday someone will go, “Hey, there were some folks...

Are you an Aaronic priest? Possibly you are a Latter- day Saint who believes the priesthood was restored by Joseph Smith in 1829 and that you have been ordained as an Aaronic priest. Possibly you believe that Hebrews 5:4 applies to you: “And no man taketh this honor unto...

Does God Forgive the Unrepentant? – The Dubious Textual Variant, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’
A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring...

Chris Pinto vs. James White – Debate Summarized
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document. Both sides agree that he...

Art Sippo on 1 Corinthians 3 and Purgatory
I noted today another fascinating post from Art Sippo, the Catholic lay apologist (and writer of odd pulp fiction stories).

A Test for the Aaronic Priest
Are you an Aaronic priest? Possibly you are a Latter- day Saint who believes the priesthood was restored by Joseph Smith in 1829 and that you have been ordained as an Aaronic priest. Possibly you believe that Hebrews 5:4 applies to you: “And no man taketh this honor unto...

Does God Forgive the Unrepentant? – The Dubious Textual Variant, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’
A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring...
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity – One Point of Contrast
Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Chris Pinto vs. James White – Debate Summarized
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document. Both sides agree that he...

Roman Catholicism
Purgatory: 1 Corinthians 3 and Tim Staples
Don’t hold your breath for the invitation for me to be on Catholic Answers Live to discuss, oh, “Does John 6 Teach the Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Eucharist,” (I’d do it in a heartbeat), but today we had Tim Staples on the program for 90 minutes to debate...
Art Sippo on 1 Corinthians 3 and Purgatory
I noted today another fascinating post from Art Sippo, the Catholic lay apologist (and writer of odd pulp fiction stories). Algo had posted a few quotes that demonstrate, as all rational historians recognize, that dogmas like purgatory developed over time, and hence, are not apostolic in origin. Sippo’s response...
1993 Sola Scriptura Debate Review Begins

Called to Cyprian – Responding to Anders’ Historical Error
On Catholic Answers, episode #6796, Dr. David Anders makes it sound as though the issue of supremacy of the Roman bishop came up for the first time in the third century, as though “Pope Stephen” asserted the primacy of the Roman see, and as though the East acquiesced in...

Tim Staples and the Marian Dogmas

Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of...
Top Ten Reasons NOT to Join the Roman Catholic Church
Last week I received the following e-mail, and I felt it would be best to share my response here on the blog. Dear Mr. White, For someone considering converting to Catholicism, what questions would you put to them in order to dicern whether or not they have examined their...
Ahmed Deedat
Refuting the Shallow Arguments of Zakir Naik
As most of you know, Zakir Naik is a wildly popular Islamic speaker in the mode of Ahmed Deedat. Unfortunately, Naik knows better than to debate those who can demonstrate his errors. Which is why he remains so popular, it seems! But he cannot hide his many falsehoods. David...
Zakir Naik Illustrates the Dual Face of Islam When in the Public Square
Very interesting contrast from Zakir Naik’s own mouth (again illustrating why Naik refuses to debate those who could expose his arguments).
Zakir Naik’s Claims on Muhammad in the Bible
Here is my third and final response to Zakir Naik’s appearance on The Deen Show. What I did was take my opening statement from my debate with Shabir Ally on this topic from London in November of last year, along with my comments on Deuteronomy 18:18 from the preceding...

Baptists for the Holy Roman Empire, the Variant at 1 Timothy 3:16
As promised, I looked over the “Sacralism on Steroids” graphic put out by the “New Christian Right” putting Donald Trump as Constantine (seriously) and noted the simplistic history that always accompanies these kinds of movements. Then we looked at the variant at 1 Timothy 3:16 as it was addressed...

Why Is Your Soul Distressed? Then, A Bit More with Calvin
Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff—we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important–and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from...
Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion
Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and...
