Despite Dr. Hamblin’s constant reiteration of his desire to debate the topic of temples on the Internet, when I responded to his very first counter-proposal, accepting all his conditions, but not yet arriving at an acceptable thesis statement, he ended the negotiations and said he was not interested. Hence, our challenge to debate publicly before cameras, in written form in published venues, and even in the form he himself promoted, on the Internet–all have been declined by Dr. Hamblin. Be watching for the DVD’s and CD’s of the debate with Richard Hopkins.

Thoughts on Debating
James White, , Mormonism
We live in a post-modern age where a zealous passion for truth is considered, at best, odd, especially in “academic” circles.

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet. Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Mouw Still Confused
James White, , Mormonism
Dr. Mouw simply does not seem to understand the central issue in Mormon apologetics. Here’s a Baptist Press article you might wish to review. Let me try to state it clearly, though this may be counter-productive, as clarity does not seem to be the aim of so much of the Academy today: Christianity is monotheistic. This is not an arguable
