I actually spent a few minutes at the start to acknowledge the ground-shaking “let’s make Obergefell look small time” absurdity that came forth from Neil Gorsuch and the Supreme Court this morning, but only to say that we would focus upon that tomorrow. The rest of the program (from about seven minutes in as I recall) is addressed to my Muslim friends—those with whom I have debated, done dialogues, corresponded, etc. I addressed the comments made recently by Dr. Yasir Qadhi and Dr. Shabir Ally regarding the textual history of the Qur’an and, by implication, the need to engage in textual critical studies, just as we do with the New Testament. My hope is that these comments will lead for further discussions that will shed more light upon the issues that separate us.

I honestly thought it would take about fifteen minutes to cover this three minute video. I was, uh, wrong. Big time. Took the entire hour. But, I wanted to respond to the comments made by Dr. Drew and his panelists (especially when one of them said I was insane) and hopefully in so doing demonstrate the utter emptiness of the

James White, , Islam
At this point our authors return to the issue of isnad, and in the process demonstrate an accute ignorance not only of the irrelevance of the topic given the history of their own Scriptures, as we have noted, but likewise the fact that to follow their reasoning is to abandon the existence of any historical records of antiquity at all.

Well, this program won’t be interesting for everyone, but for those who are interested in a dialogue on key issues with a representative of Hebrew Israelism—should fit the bill! A little over an hour with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on the deity of Christ, the Bible, Babylon—lots and lots of things. Best to be sitting down for this one! Here is

George Bryson Sends Me an Email, then Surah 4:157
James White, , The Dividing Line
I was a bit taken aback by an e-mail wherein George Bryson said it was a “self serving self promoting fantasy” on my part that I have said he does not want to debate again. I read an e-mail I sent George back in January of 2006 explaining that a debate without cross-examination simply isn’t a debate. Then I moved

But I can tell you the last 45 minutes was dedicated to finishing off Paul Williams’ opening statement (finally). The 45 minutes before that allowed me to empty out my “DL Materials” bookmark folder—all sorts of incredible stuff about how quickly Western culture is embracing rebellion and depravity. A study in Christian worldview application and defense, to be sure.

To Debate or Not to Debate?

Tony Costa has confirmed to me that the story of Pastor Harding being sentenced to “Islamic Re-education” is factually accurate. I am at a loss for words at the hypocrisy of Canadian jurisprudence that allows Muslims to deny the heart of the Christian faith while criminalizing Christian apologetics! The Canadian press seems a willing accomplice. I was referred to one
