Blogging Theology 
Hi Paul,
at 2:30, you claimed that the New American standard version says “they all doubted”.
Sorry, you are wrong.
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
the statistics of cultural, nominal “Christians” does not matter, since the west is full of people who may go to church sometimes and claim they are Christians but are influenced by the liberal theology you promote all the time.
As I wrote before, if they don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus, then they are not Christians. Liberal theology is not Christian at all.
Read J. Gresham Machen’s book, “Christianity and Liberalism” – Liberal theology guts Christianity of faith and doctrine and has only a shell of some of its ethics.

The New American Bible is a Catholic Bible translation first published in 1970. It is the only translation approved for use at Mass in the dioceses of the United States and the Philippines, and is also an approved Bible translation by the Episcopal Church in the United States.
The New American Bible, Revised Edition released on March 9, 2011, is the culmination of nearly 20 years of work by a group of nearly 100 scholars and theologians, including bishops, revisers and editors.
It is from this updated translation I was referring to. It is an American translation used by the biggest Church in the USA.

The text is being honest with the human struggle of accepting that someone has really risen from the dead – an amazing thing – the most amazing thing in history!!
But Acts chapters 1-4 and beyond and Galatians 1 and 1 Cor. 15 show that the disciples believed and testified and witnessed the resurrection and testified to it and gave their lives for it and were persecuted and most were killed for their faith, except for John, but even he was exiled to the island of Patmos (Revelation chapter 1).
For the gospels to leave it written that “some doubted” or “they couldn’t believe it for joy” or Jesus saying “why do you doubt? Touch me and see that a ghost does not have flesh and bone that you see that I have” Luke 24:39 – this gives the historicity of it even more credibility, because the criterion of embarrassment shows they were not trying to make up stuff and conceal the reality of their doubts at the beginning. It is very reasonable and understandable and the order of that at the beginning, and then later their boldness in Acts 2-5, proves my point.

Williams he meant me since White went on a raving tirade against me for calling him out to debate me on Limited Atonement.
Ken, since you were so giddy over your idol’s ranting and raving which was filled with nothing more than ad hominem, then I am sure you are going to love this barbecue of your idol which I just posted publicly for all to see:
Please pass this on to White again. In the last minutes of his DL show yesterday White read my challenge to debate him on Limited Atonement. Instead of accepting my challenge White went on a condescending rant about why the passages he calls the big 3 (Matthew 23:37, 1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9) are not about limited atonement but about unconditional election. In his repulsive ad hominem response he condescendingly tries to make it seem as if I somehow don’t understand the issue and have lost it. 😉
In light of his arrogant rant let me now show you why it is White who really has no clue what the issues are. I highly encourage everyone to listen to the beginning of his tirade against David Allen so you can see what the issue is all about. White claims to be addressing the section of Allen’s book addressing White’s book. Guess what folks? ONE OF THE PASSAGES THAT ALLEN RESPONDS TO IS MATTHEW 23:37, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIG THREE! You see what happens when in your arrogance you really think you happen to be above reproach and God’s gift to the church? How could I not understand the issues WHEN MY CHALLENGE WAS IN THE VERY CONTEXT OF WHITE GOING AFTER ALLEN’S BOOK WHICH DEALT SPECIFICALLY WITH WHITE’S INTERPRETATION OF MATTHEW 23:37? I am starting to feel rather embarrassed for him since this rant shows that he really has no clue what the issues are and is willing to stoop to the bottom of the barrel in order to vilify all those who would dare stand up to his arrogance and mistreatment of fellow Christian brothers.
Besides, I didn’t insist that we only debate the big 3 but said I would be glad to debate him on the general topic of the limited atonement. But in his attempt to play to his fan base and save face White ignored that and chose to focus on what he thought would make him look good by making me look bad.
However, what makes this all the more interesting is that, despite all his ranting and raving and ad hominem, WHITE NEVER ACCEPTED MY DEBATE CHALLENGE? Can anyone guess why? And if I am so ignorant of the doctrine THEN WHY DOESN’T WHITE DEBATE ME AND PUT ME IN PLACE, as he is so eager o do with Allen? We all know the real reason as to why he chose to attack my character as opposed to stepping up to the plate and debating me.
Like I said, the man’s arrogance and ego has gotten out of control (just as his cheap nasty ad hominem against me shows), which is why I said he really needs to repent and step down. He is showing more and more by his rants and mistreatment of fellow Christians, and his love fest with Muslims, that he is truly unfit to remain an elder and an apologist representing Christians.
P.S.
Let me implode White’s lie for a second time. As many of my brothers and sisters can testify I did not leave Limited Atonement because of my trying to get back at White. That is a boldfaced lie which only goes to show the arrogance and repulsive attitude of this man. I left it many moons ago because I could no longer reconcile this doctrine with what I saw in Scripture. Moreover, White complains about me posting videos from Steven Anderson even though this is the same man that praised an anti-Trinitarian Muhammadan named Yasir Qadhi whose religion makes it mandatory to blaspheme the true God and malign his Gospel, even going so far as to call him his mentor! At least Anderson is a Trinitarian who does acknowledge and worship the true God, not blaspheme him as White’s mentor does. Therefore, what does this say about White who insults and belittles me for posting stuff from Anderson that are quite good and spot on (even though I have spoke out against his many errors and unchristlike behavior), while praising and bringing in an anti-Trinitarian Muhammadan who is all for the implementation of shariah into a church to spread his propaganda?
Like I said, this man’s hypocrisy, nasty behavior and arrogance is truly repulsive and reprehensible and he truly does need to repent.
PPS.
For those interested in reading where Dr. Allen mentions White’s eisegesis of the big 3, i.e. Matthew 23:37-39, 1 Timothy 2:4, and 2 Peter 3:9, and specifically his handling of Matthew 23:37, it’s found on pp. 550-551 of his book “The Extent of the Atonement.” This should serve as a lesson for White that he should think twice before going on a rant and assuming he knows what he is talking about since we all know what happens whenever someone assumes they know what they are talking about before checking out the facts. 😉

I’ve tried to listen to some of your “Pal-Talk” stuff, but the sound quality and format (interruptions, having to rebuke people, expel people from the chat room), etc. makes it not a very good format for a good debate.

I also confess I have never done a formal debate, and I am not as fast a thinker as either Dr. White or you. Honest evaluation and opinion about someone and their arguments does not mean I put them as an idol or am a “fanboy”. He (Dr. White) makes good arguments; in my sincere opinion, and behaves closer to how the Bible says we are suppossed to behave when engaging unbelievers. You however, have dragged Christ’s name into the mud, because all the Muslims constantly bring you up as a bad example because of your sinful behavior and anger and whenever I am trying to explain the gospel power to change a heart and make someone a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26-27; John 3:1-10; Romans 6) etc. they constantly ask me if you give evidence of being a true Christian and exhibiting the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

As a witness for Sam Shamoun, I can tell you right off the bat, Sam abandoned particular redemption years ago. I know this, because two years ago Sam and I were together, I was unsettled in the Spirit when defending and promoting particular redemption as a doctrinal truth. Not knowing Sam’s thoughts, I asked him for his position, and I still remember his reaction, which was a calm smile as he began to explain his history with the doctrine and his abandonment. The verse the Holy Spirit was pleased to use to draw him out of this tradition was 2 peter 2:1. After listening to the last five minutes of James white’s DL, I noticed he is truly a bully and if you touch his idol (TULIP), he’ll snap. However, I was surprised yet not stunned, he did not take Sam’s open debate challenge and instead attempted to poison the well as he mocked Sam. After reading Sam’s response here, I see James White is in fact terrified of debating Sam on particular redemption, the big three and whether or not ISIS is carrying out stage three tactics implemented by allah and his false messenger Muhammad. James White is in fact a bully, and those of you who don’t see it, it is simply because “love covers a multitude of sins,” and your continued support for such behavior is proof of this text. Our allegiance should be to the triune God and His Word first.

I fully understand why many Christians are hesitant about the hardest point of the 5 points of Calvinism to accept, (the L in T.U.L.I.P), Particular or Definite or Limited Atonement. 2 Peter 2:1 is difficult; as is, IMO, 1 Timothy 4:10. (But they are not impossible to explain in light of all the other evidence.)
But, when the entire argument is understood and the relationship between all the other points are explained and fleshed out, it makes sense, especially when seeing how often the Scriptures talk about Christ dying for the church, His bride (Ephesians 5), His people, etc. and that Revelation 5:9 speaks of people redeemed out from (ek) all nations and tribes and languages.
It is an in house debate; and I don’t say those that disagree are not Christians.
But I have clearly heard Dr. White say many times when some extreme Reformed person tries to assign William Lane Craig or other Christians to the flames, Dr. White is very clear that that is wrong. He calls their theology “sub-Biblical” and wrong; and he questions whether Mike Licona really believes in inerrancy, but he has never said they are not Christians.
I have never gone as far as saying you are not a Christian, Sam, though Paul Williams and other Muslims have tried to goad me in that direction.
But, what I do say is that you need to sincerely and deeply repent of your behavior and anger, etc.
