Mormonism, Marian Devotion, Acts 2:23, and Caller Q&A

James White

Dr. White looks at the current splintering of Mormonism into various self-prophet groups. Next, he examines a statement posted by Leighton Flowers regarding Judas and Pilate, demonstrating how it essentially boils down to Open Theism in disguise. Finally, he shares a personal story of encouragement for aging athletes about using AI to build tools for tracking his workouts.

Jimmy Akin “Destroys” Me by Ignoring my Argument, CS Lewis, then Decree in Scripture

Dom

Dr. White goes a bit long today to cover a lot of ground, including more of Dinesh D’Souza’s silliness regarding C.S. Lewis and Total Depravity. He then addresses Matt Fradd’s claim that Jimmy Akin “destroyed” him (despite Akin ignoring the actual argument), and finishes with an exegesis of four key biblical texts on the decree of God on the big board.

10 Reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy

I agree with Ryan at needGod.net and his 10 reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Ryan does a good job of backing up his reasons with quotes from Scripture and the Eastern Orthodoxy’s own sources. I thought he was … Continue reading →

Refutation of Baptismal Regeneration in Irenaeus

Ken Temple

Someone asked about 2 Timothy 3:16-17, and the Roman Catholic argument that it only includes the OT, as v. 15 is clearly about the OT sacred Scriptures that Timothy learned as a child. John Henry Newman also uses this argument … Continue reading →

Both Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodoxy are proven fallible. They made doctrinal mistakes.

Ken Temple
