I suppose Sbc Internet Services could give people the same IP, but I'm just not convinced. Plus, for some reason they both want to talk about artificial contraception. I dunno...

Just a sampler of James White's “jabs” (Emphasis Capital Letters) having a discussion with fellow christians:

“So, we find Madrid once again pulling out of MOTHBALLS SURFACE- LEVEL MATERIALS that are nearly two decades old,”,

“It has been rightly said that a large portion of the guards at Buchenwald and Auschewitz were practicing CATHOLICS.”

“In looking at his blog article found here I was just a little surprised to discover that Mr. Akin, the lead apologist for Catholic Answers, HAS NOT DONE HIS HOMEWORK on this particular subject, and in reading the comments left by Roman Catholics on this blog entry, it seems the majority of them are happy to go on SECOND HAND RESEARCH as well”.

Be that as it may, the point of Jae was valid and legit, in the subject of Artificial Contraception which prior to 30's all christian churches agree that such an act is contrary to the Will of God, why did we protestants change? could we change the TRUTH? (when Truth is One and unchangeable). It really bothers me and frankly not even one brilliant protestant scholar could give a sensible answer to it.

In the Bible it says “deny ONE Truth and you denied it all”, then it follows that if we deny this Truth and Jesus is Truth, thus we have denied Jesus?

For me the question of authority persist in my soul.

Peace of Christ be with you brothers.

Or, just pretending to be someone else. Think what you will of James White. He does not pretend to be who he is not.<br><br>Those quotes are responses not debates. Unfortunately, it is hard to read "tone" online. Besides, it's not as if Dr. White does not get the same type of responses. A little creative rhetoric never hurt anyone.<br><br>Please, feel free not to respond again. Jae, I don't appreciate you coming back here under the name AJ pretending to be a “Reformed Evangelical”.

Those quotes are responses not debates. Unfortunately, it is hard to read “tone” online. Besides, it's not as if Dr. White does not get the same type of responses. A little creative rhetoric never hurt anyone.

Please, feel free not to respond again.

The only thing that bothers me about him is the WAY he debated other Christian religion particularly Roman Catholicism - his overall tone and attitude is somewhat contentious. If he just focus on the subject at hand and not attack and add ridicule to the person on the opposite side I think would be healthy, christian-like healthy!<br><br>I have an admiration on the scholarly and respectful works of Dr. Norm Geisler, R.C Sproul and Greg Koukl.
