Thomas Ross, February 18 Debate, Versus James White in Tullahoma, TN

Thomas Ross will debate James White with the proposition communicated in the above flyer for the debate.  This relates to the historic doctrine of the preservation of scripture.  Thomas Ross will defend the TR and King James Version and oppose the modern critical text and its methodology, especially with the underlying presupposition of the biblical doctrine of preservation.  Pray for him as he prepares and then executes that preparation in a debate against James White.  If you can go in support of him in that debate or help him in any other way, including financially, please do so!

How will Thomas Ross do against White?  Does White supersede Ross in scholarship and knowledge?  I don’t believe so.  If you visit Faithsaves.net, I believe Ross writes as much as White and in scholarly fashion.  White often questions his interlocutor’s abilities.  If someone can’t read Greek, White often attempts to humiliate him, cast doubt on his abilities.  This strategy should embarrass White, but it doesn’t.  Thomas Ross has committed to memory huge portions of the Greek New Testament.  He has his devotions often in Hebrew and Greek.  I believe Ross will be more proficient at reading the Hebrew and Greek than White.

Let us all hope that the moderation for this Ross-White debate will improve over what occurred in the Van Kleeck-White debate.  White ran over the biased moderators in very poor fashion.

Thomas Ross has now done several high level debates.  He teaches very often, improving in his communication and rhetoric, which will help.  Ross knows more than ever.  He knows this subject and he will put hours and hours into this, I know.  He will not underestimate James White.

I listened to a recent debate of James White with Chris Pinto on the issue of Vaticanus.  Pinto believes it is a forgery.  It was a very narrow debate.  White had changed some in his usual offensive speech.  Pinto is not a man even close as prepared as Thomas Ross in a text debate.  Still in my assessment Pinto held up against White.

Recently Jeff Riddle and Peter Van Kleeck debated White on a similar subject as Ross will.  I believe Thomas Ross will keep the momentum going in a positive manner.  White operates counter to the historic and biblical position.  He contradicts the position held by the Lord’s churches.  Thomas Ross has the truth on his side.
