James White, October 27, 2022October 27, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism Looked at some claims about Aquinas by Norm Geisler, including a quick look at John 13:19, and then started to respond to the second in the series from Baptist Dogmatics regarding Matthew 24:36. What is “theological” or “dogmatic” exegesis? Well, we will find out more as we continue our review and response. But not tomorrow, though we plan on doing a program at 4:30pm EDT live from ReformCon 2022! Join us then!

James White, May 26, 2022May 26, 2022, Church History, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism We had to move the program around a bit today, and I ended up having to do it from home, so my apologies for needing to deal with “providential hindrances.” Started off extending our sincere condolences to Doug Wilson, his family and everyone associated with Christ Church in the passing of his dear father last evening, Jim Wilson. Here is a nice tribute. Then we talked a bit about wisdom and emotionalism, and the decay of the West. Then I responded to an accusation on the Puritanboard that I am becoming a Socinian (seriously!), and finished up with some more clarifications from Tuesday’s program (which, I predict, will be ignored by many). Kept her to an hour today!

Calvinist James White and Roman Catholic Trent Horn will debate the doctrine of Purgatory. At the start of the Reformation, the question of Purgatory was front and center. After all, it was an indulgence that helped one escape Purgatory to which Martin Luther objected in the 95 Theses. Protestants argue that the finished work of Christ on the cross is sufficient for salvation. Roman Catholics argue that without a purging of sin, one cannot enter into the presence of God. Who is right?
