Keswick is Perfectionism: A. T. Pierson and W. H. Griffith Thomas agree.
Many modern Keswick advocates deny that Keswick / Higher Life theology is a form of perfectionism. But what do classic Keswick authors, those who themselves accepted, loved, and defended the Higher Life theology, say? They readily confess themselves that Keswick theology is a form of perfectionism. W. H. Griffith Thomas: “‘Keswick’ stands for perfectionism. I […]
John Owen Again on the Septuagint (LXX) Issue Related to the Presuppositions for the Preservation of Scripture, Meanwhile Answering James White
So many words in a title. This post is mainly about what John Owen wrote. I am teaching the book of Hebrews to folks at Mid-Coast Baptist Church next week in Brunswick, Maine. I’ve taught through Hebrews three times in my life, but I have been doing some reading. You can download for free the […]
Polygraphing the Words of James White, Pt. 3
On August 7, James White gave a whole show over to one part of the first post I wrote dealing with White’s answer to a comment made by Thomas Ross on an internet forum. I really don’t want to spend anymore than one more post. I ask you to read everything I’ve written in the […]
Polygraphing the Words of James White, Pt. 2
Part One. The Westminster Confession of Faith in 1646 as part of its definition of sola scriptura says, The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man’s salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto […]
Polygraphing the Words of James White, Pt. 1
Instead of providing background for this post, if you want to get up to speed, you can do seven things: (1) read my four part series last week (1, 2, 3, 4), (2) then read my five part series from two weeks ago (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), (3) to really get serious, read Thou […]
More on James White Coming Sooner than Normal
Hey everyone! I don’t know if you watched James White’s dealing with my posts here, but he was absolutely struggling. It was in the ballpark of former Texas Governor Rick Perry in the previous election cycle of Republican debates. I’ll point out where he gets stuck, and he does. So much of what he says […]
Cut Church Building Program Costs by Thousands of Dollars and, as an Individual, Save Large Sums; or as a Business, Increase Your Profit Margin
I intend to respond to James White’s attacks myself also, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Stay tuned. Below is what I had earlier prepared–may it be a blessing. Our church has recently expanded our building, and we have saved large sums of money without changing anything we are buying. I as an […]
More James White on the Version Issue: Either He Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About or He’s Lying — Pt. 4
For everyone’s information, James White yesterday dedicated the final third of his Dividing Line program to this series. He covered three paragraphs, but he says he’s going to be dealing with everything. I highly doubt that, but we’ll see. He titles it “KJVO Deceitfulness.” OK. He starts at 40:30 here until the end, and promises […]
More James White on the Version Issue: Either He Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About or He’s Lying — Pt. 3
Part One. Part Two. After the 1:13 mark, with mocking tone White asks, “What edition of the ‘texti recepti‘ is the one being referred to by the 1689 that I allegedly don’t believe as a reformed Baptist elder?” The “which edition” question is sort of supposed to be the clinching argument against preservation for CT […]
More James White on the Version Issue: Either He Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About or He’s Lying — Pt. 2
Like the series I did two weeks ago, I’m going to keep writing here on this until I’m done with an analysis of the video last week by James White. This is part two (part one). At about the 1:09:30 mark, White says there are numbers of ecclesiastical text positions because the teaching is vague […]
