James White has a blog video on Bart Ehrman [url=http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php?itemid=2545]HERE[/url]

Barth Ehrman is a great debator and excellent scholar of NT... My advice (after have read a few of his books and after I watched the debate between Ehrman and Craig Lane) attend the debate or watch/listen to it only (take heed!!)if your faith is Rock Solid!!! Ehrman is very convincing and have a lot of facts on his side...

Sincerely Magnus :-)

Ehrman may have a mountain of scholarly knowledge and an ability to lead the blind astray.

However, I discourage you from using terms like "excellent" to describe the wisdom of a man who has committed apostasy against the Word of God.

1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Joh 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

I'm not to sure about listening to Craig's debate (I haven't watched this man). But, I would not discourage anyone from going to the debate with James White... because James preaches the gospel of God's grace and the power of God is manifested through such preaching.

Thanks for your concern!!! I'll think I stick with the terms above because it designate Ehrman from a academic perspective (and nothing else)..

From a spiritual perspective I would describe him as an apostate who leads people astray...

My warnings concerning the debate still stands...

Magnus ;-)

The work of the enemy (the father of lies)
always begins with casting doubt "Has God
really said??" It is followed by deception
and delusion. God's integrity is assured by
His Word!! God is not man, He does not lie.

thanks i appreciate it. I have listened to the craig debate and ehrman fools those lukewarm believers or the unsaved and unregenerated, i know he does this and for some convincingly, i just pray that james white will answer all the objections flawlessly. I just watch a debate between him and a jevohah witness man call is jesus a god or God. James is very very good and doesn't shy away from the hard questions. Agaiunst bart ehrman i am sure he won't either, knowing he has done this his whole life . Praise God

if anyone does go, please tell me how it went

Whats the point of these debates???If our man wins people have to agree with him,but if our man looses were not changing our minds??...

What do they prove other then one person's brighter then another...

I've heard White a few times,sorry but he struck me as rude and arrogant...

There was a SBC debate recently, where one of the debators stated we don't want to be the type of people that will travel a 1000 miles to debate,but won't cross the street to lead someone to God

I could swear he was speaking about White!!!!!!!!

Be careful what you say about James White. If you have an accusations against an elder, you need to back it up with witnesses. I have read James White and listened to many of His debates. He is blunt and bold... But, he does not come across as rude.

I'm sure many were offended by Jesus, when he called them vipers and hypocrites.

Also, are you aware that James Whites preaches the gospel year round to cults and unbelievers from His own office through youtube. You have no right to accuse James of not preaching in his hometown until you have witnesses. Your comments are bitter-slanderous reports against a brother in the Lord for whom Christ died. Have you no shame for your careless words?

The point is to preach the gospel to unbelievers and edify the body with truth. You should be ashamed of your words, if you are implying that this is vain.

Edit: quote added

Has any one else noticed that most posts here lately seem to turn into nothing more than a platform for folks to "bicker" about pet doctrine?
Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Blessings Greg

1) I have no pet doctrine, and didn't put any in my post
2)As far as my accusations and him being my elder hmmmm hes not my elder,and it wasn't an accusation, it was a observation i think hes rude...By my standards hes not bold hes rude,you have a different opinion and thats fine..

James White is a man called by GOD to stand for the Truth where most other Christians have stuck their heads in the sand. I have great respect and pray for that man. Evangellicals have for the most part been indoctrinated with a lot of folk theology and sensationalist emotional Christian cliches. It is people like James White who earnestly contend for the faith once for all handed down that protect the thread of Biblical Truths which the superficial evangellybean culture casts aside in exchange for light and fluffy cotton candy doctrine. I pray for that brother as he upholds the doctrine of the apostles in the face of satan's lies. He is on the front lines. He works hard for the LORD and the sake of the body. We should thank GOD for raising people like him up.

I missed something Abe said "about implying it was vain and i should be ashamed"

100% stating that i think its vain,and no i don't feel ashamed Abe, this again is just another opionion of mine doesn't make it fact so chill Abe you sound a little pompus :-P

If he preaches the gospel clearly, I will be thankful. Let's all pray that he preaches the gospel clearly.

I'm sure many were offended by Jesus, when he called them vipers and hypocrites.

The Lord Jesus Christ seems to be used by not a few people to justify their own words. But He said,

[b][color=660000] I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.[/color][/b]

Does anyone know if there is an alternate way of hearing the debate? My wife and I just had our first baby and we can't make it, Ft. Lauderdale is a little over an hour from where we live so it will be difficult to attend.

You can download the debate at the aomin website now. It's a tough one.

There are some blog notes there as well
