Alpha and Omega Ministries

Yeah, this will be a real barn-burner! A truly entertaining program! Lots of sound effects and humor! Clicks galore! Actually, none of that. After some general discussion and a bit more on the de-evolution of Mormonism, I spent the rest of the program discussing my work on a scholarly article responding to the theory that Pseudo-Dionysius is actually a first century production. See? Thrilling. Well, I do try to explain why, anyway. And our audience has learned that sometimes you have to do a deep dive to really get a foundation for important things.

Three major topics on tap today. First, William Lane Craig and the reason for suffering in conversation with Alex O'Connor. Then, a Roman Catholic plays a clip and missed my point regarding Athanasius and "apostolic tradition." Then, the Neo-Morms are on the rise, and we get a confession of faith from one of them.

Dr. White tackles three major topics: William Lane Craig on suffering, a Roman Catholic missing the point on Athanasius & apostolic tradition, and a confession of faith from the rising "Neo-Morms."

Spent the first half of the show on other topics, including some RV stuff, and then talked a bit about Cardinal Bellarmine and forms of argumentation, but the main topic today was Emperor Theodosius, the proclamation of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire, and the incident between he and Ambrose of Milan regarding the massacre at Thessaloniki.

Did another Zoom calls show today and as usual...great questions on a wide, wide variety of topics, mainly church history, a little more EOism, etc. Went pretty long, too, as I couldn't shut up! Spent some time at the end talking about AI fakes, sticking to God's standards of justice, etc.

Followed up on recent exchanged on line regarding such topics as "Roma locuta est" and the sacrifice of the Mass. Important topics for evangelizing Rome. We are planning on a Zoom call program tomorrow.

Final road trip DL of this trip, from Willcox, Arizona. Covered some trip details from my visit to Lubbock and Las Cruces, and then played a parody song produced by Ward Radio on the "God of Calvinism." Used it as a basis to again address the utter lack of interest in accuracy or truthfulness exemplified on the net these days. Not sure what next week's schedule is going to look like, but we will do our best!

Live Road Trip DL from Las Cruces, New Mexico today, considering Dale Partridge's amazing assertion that "most women can't think," and then moving on to the state of Roman Catholic apologetics on line today, using the ramblings of Bishop Jaxi as an example. And a nice shot out the back window of our Mobile Command Center at the Organ Mountains on the other side of Las Cruces.

Covered some important material today, starting with the purgatory clip I didn't play last time. Found out the priest who made those comments died in 2023, so, it seemed fitting to review them. Then we looked at a claim about Jerome and the Apocryphal books, then switched back to the Jacob Hansen/Allie Beth Stuckey conversation, focusing on Acts 17. Quite a range once again!

Covered two primary topics today, both with a strong church history and apologetic element. Started off responding to the citation of Irenaeus and how everyone must be in agreement with the church at Rome. Spent quite a while providing the context and meaning of the statement. Then, spent the last part of the program reading a five chapter book. I will leave it to the listener to figure out why. Telling you what it was about would prejudice your listening!

Replied to Dale Partridge briefly, then interacted with "Bishop Jaxi" and "Pope Respecter" on salvation issues before moving back to the appearance of Jacob Hansen on Allie Beth Stuckey's "Relatable" episode. Don't forget, we are on the road next week, so use the app and follow us here to keep up with when the program will be live from the road for the next two weeks.

Another wide ranging show with lots of topics including the cringey cigarette picture from NXR, Stephen Boyce's unwillingness to defend Rome's dogmatic claims, the House of Loreto, and LDS priesthood discussions.

A super wide ranging 75 minute program today covering everything from working out in your mid sixties to the collapse of the Black family, the repeal of the 19th Amendment, the evolution of the Papacy, and Jacob Hansen the neo-Mormon on Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey. A little something for everyone on today's program!

Covered a really wide variety of stuff today from Stephen Boyce's convert syndrome to the impact of monetization on the social media discussions to a lengthy introduction to the Pseudo-Dionysian Corpus (DC). Also briefly discussed some issues raised in the appearance of Jacob Hansen on Relatable with ABS, but we will be covering that on the next program.

Every time we open the phones we get such excellent questions! A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Zoom and called in today—all of your questions were truly great. Today we tackled tough questions like the canon of Scripture and its relationship to epistemology as well as how believers need to view politics, voting, etc. We got calls from Ireland and Hungary as well! Went in depth in our responses as well. Remember, Rich is out of town for a bit, so we will be back, Deo volente, next week.

After some comments on a variety of topics at the top of the program, we dove deep into the following citation from Basil the Great, "because the honor paid to the image passes on to the prototype." We looked at the original context and meaning, and then how it was plucked out of that context and used by John of Damascus, and how that then became central to the arguments of the iconophiles at Nicea II, and hence became the basis of "infallible dogma" for both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Not an entertaining program, to be sure, but hopefully a helpful one. Tomorrow we will be doing a Zoom call "open phones" program, so join us then!

Covered the waterfront today to be sure! Talked about Trump's healing meme, the Pope and the Muslims, and Joel Webbon playing footsie with Catholics on the Reformation, all because...the Jews!

Was joined by Aaron Shafovaloff of Mormonism Research Ministry (mrm.org) to discuss developments in Mormonism and to review a clip of a recent LDS discussion wherein the historic view of God is questioned by Blake Ostler, an ostensibly LDS philosopher and attorney, and others in the "New Mormonism" movement. If you have LDS friends and neighbors, you will want to listen to this one!

In light of the resurrection of a particularly bad parable by Jacob Hansen we went over the lengthy rebuttal of the story of the "boys in the pond" parable (Hansen made it girls in a lake), showing that it fails on every level to correspond to biblical truth. We also touched on a good bit of LDS theology as well today.

Spent the program responding to the craziness that has developed after the debate in Ogden, working through all the details. Good opportunity to discuss debates, integrity, proper use of sources, form of argumentation, etc. Also gave us a chance to discuss the rise of "Neo-Mormonism" in contrast with historic LDS orthodoxy.

Dr. White broadcasts from the road ahead of his debate in Ogden, Utah. He starts with a warning regarding extreme rhetoric surrounding the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Septuagint (LXX), before continuing the review of the Austin vs. Hansen cross-examination for debate prep.

Covered a few pressing topics today, from the cultural chaos of utterly unqualified Supreme Court justices to Phil Vischer's question about defining doctrines. Then we talked a bit about "Eucharistic miracles" and an odd little exchange on X about debating the topic, and finally we got just a minute into the cross-ex between Avery Austin and Jacob Hansen in their recent debate. Since I will be debating Jacob in a few days, this is good preparatory thinking.

First "real" program from the Mobile Command Center! Musings on secularism, the death of the West, and God's judgment.

Jumped into our new 5th wheel to test out all the work Rich has been doing putting together a rapidly deployable and usable mobile studio in the wonderful office space in our new unit. Went well! He has more tweaking to do, and I have a lot of pictures to put up yet, but we are started. Headed to Utah on Thursday, debate on Saturday with Shabir Ally. Covered a bunch of topics from the Apocrypha to the Qur'an to Phil Vischer! Hope to do another program on Thursday after six plus hours on the road.

Started off with a disgusting post from Michael Spangler attacking Corrie Ten Boom and the book, The Hiding Place. Just astonishing how Jew hatred rots the brain. Then we moved on to Dan McClellan's response piece, but spent most of today just discussing doing scholarship under the Lordship of Christ, and how this determines how you are going to interact with the text of Scripture. We will have to continue that response next week, hopefully from the Mobile Command Center!

Finished up the cross-examination from the Hansen v. Heschmeyer debate, covering a number of important topics, and then finished up responding to a claim regarding using "preferred pronouns" from 2019. Was going to get to responding to McClellan, but will do so on the next program!

We started off with a video clip that popped up right before the program of Joel Webbon seriously struggling to answer the question, "Does the Bible say Mary was a Jew?" Yeah, seriously. Then we moved to the Dustin Smith debate and the fact that the little Unitarian group is still working hard on spinning the debate. We played sections from the cross-examination and then dove into the text to examine his replies or his questions, depending. We went long on this one, out to 80 minutes for this edition!

After a brief reminder about upcoming debates and ministry, we listened to a brief video from Dan McClellan claiming there is no monotheism in the Bible, and then we walked through Jeremiah 10 to demonstrate that the great Bible scholar is in rather obvious error. Started to try to get back to the cross-ex in the Hansen/Heschmeyer debate, but saw a tweet about Joel Webbon that caught my eye, so we looked at that instead to finish out the program. Not sure when the next program will be, as I have the final inspection to go through on Thursday on my house project, and who knows when they will get that finished. We will let you know on the app or on X.

Dr. White dedicates the entire program to addressing the fallacious and heretical claims made by Texas Senate candidate James Talarico regarding transgenderism, abortion, and the Christian faith.

Continued listening to the Jacob Hansen/Joe Heschmeyer debate, this time starting Joe's examination of Jacob. Then transitioned into a review of the final major sermon of Joseph Smith, delivered only 11 days before his death in 1844, the "Sermon in the Grove" on the plurality of gods.

Today we looked at a few comments made by Trent Horn in the sola scriptura debate in Dallas, and then returned to the Hansen/Heschmeyer debate from Salt Lake. We analyze the cross-examination and point out problems on both sides! #TheDividingLine #JamesWhite #RomanCatholicism #Mormonism #Apologetics

We started listening to the cross-examination in the debate over the "Great Apostasy" that took place back in December between Jacob Hansen and Joe Heschmeyer. This is allowing us to delve into Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, Church History, and a lot more, in a really enjoyable, organic way. We will continue the review in the upcoming programs!

Today we dove into the debate I did with Dr. Dustin Smith in Dallas on the Trinity vs. Unitarianism, and in particular, our reasons for doing debates, etc. Then we looked at 1 Corinthians 8:6, which came up in the debate, and used it as an example of my main thesis: that the Unitarian has an over-riding presupposition that forces him into eisegesis when faced with evidence against his position. We will look at the Hansen/Heshmeyer cross-ex on the next episode!

Started doing some debate reviews on the program today. Mentioned a little bit about my debate with Dr. Smith, but will review more of that in a future program. Then we looked at some cross-examination from the Nortier/Flowers debate and spent some time discussing what it means to do "work" on a passage, the different level of "work," etc. Then I mentioned the surreal experience of listening to the Heschmeyer/Hansen debate and having to agree with both of them at key points. We will listen to some of the cross-examination on the next program.

We covered the waterfront on our last program for this trip. I talked a bit about the lie of "transgenderism," covered the wild spin being put out by the "Biblical Unitarians" prior to the release of the video of the debate from a week ago, and talked about the difference between donation-based ministry and "clicks and likes." We also covered a bit about Marian "intercession" and discussed possible issues with our Mobile Command Center—more on that once we get home!

Covered a lot of topics today from here in Texas, but mainly looked at some material regarding people's responses to comments about Romans 5, the atonement (responding to William Lane Craig's denial of original sin), and the ever-present idol of man's "free will."

I did a quick trip update at the start, including a brief discussion of how to get yourself stuck in ice when you are 54 feet long and 13.5 feet tall and weigh 24,000 pounds. But most of the program was a discussion of last night's dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi at the mosque in Flower Mound, what we discussed, and, more importantly, how we approach the task of being a Christian witness to our Muslim friends and neighbors. Then I discussed the slanderous video produced by @onlythus on Instagram, and reposted by @AlexDuncanTX lying about Dr. Qadhi in a very obvious and surface level way, and how this is utterly in opposition to Christian calling and practice. Finally, at the end of the hour, I commented on Joel Webbon's lame response to Doug Wilson and his incessant use of the "victim card."

Could have done an RFG today since we covered a Frank Turek clip and made some comments about Kevin Thompson and Ephesians 1:4 (might play the whole clip next week), but we also had to talk about how you need an IQ above 130, and a very high testosterone level, to understand how smashingly brilliant Joel Webbon and his crew actually is. We also addressed some Dan McClellan nonsense as well. Last in-studio program until we are on the road next week!

Will confess, we sort of wandered a bit today given the constant drum beat of division and moral insanity in our culture. Eventually got to the church invasion on Sunday in St. Paul, Minnesota, and what it might indicate we could be facing in the years to come. We plan on doing another program Thursday, and then I leave for Dallas and Baton Rouge, so the schedule next week will be variable. Make sure to download the A&O app to stay aware of the schedule!

As promised, I looked over the "Sacralism on Steroids" graphic put out by the "New Christian Right" putting Donald Trump as Constantine (seriously) and noted the simplistic history that always accompanies these kinds of movements. Then we looked at the variant at 1 Timothy 3:16 as it was addressed by my upcoming debate opponent, Dr. Dustin Smith, in a recent podcast. Today's program has a fair amount of graphical information so audio only folks might be missing out on some things.

We started off the program with the major announcement of the scheduling of a major debate later in 2026 with Craig Truglia on the topic of the veneration of icons and the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I explained why this is a vital topic with greater ramifications than might first suggest themselves. Then we transitioned into some of Matthew Barrett's students converting to Anglicanism and where this might all lead. We will do another program tomorrow, so join us then!

Today we covered two things mainly, the clear division of the United States and its causes and, more to the point, what it will mean for the church in the near future and then we moved to Acts 20 and Paul's comments to the Ephesian elders and what it means to be guilty of men's blood, and what it means to "pervert" or "twist" the truth of God.

Tried to mine some gold from the Talmud at the start of the program, but didn't get any, then talked a good bit about the upcoming Qadhi dialogue and the inane attempts to parallel that with the politically motivated Christless Nationalism interactions with Nick Fuentes. Then we moved on to how quickly people forget history and fall into repeating it, to their own detriment.

First half was talking about new books and video series coming out from the Christless Nationalists, and then moved on to the "New Mormonism" developing up in Utah, a fascinating topic. Join us as we press into 2026!

So on Christmas day Joel Webbon responded to a Christian woman by simply saying "Silence, Jew. It's Christmas." And so began another eruption of the degradation of CNism into just another "it's the Jews" group, with Joel Webbon and Eric Conn leading the parade. Hated to have to take the time to do it, but with Webbon doing a program with Nick Fuentes this weekend, it had to be done. At least we can say we warned people in the past, and sadly, most of those warnings have gone unheeded.

Started off taking a LOT more time than I expected talking about ancient housing arrangements, what a "manger" might be, etc., and then moved on to a rant against Reformed theology and a common argument against God's decree that keeps coming up. Interrupted by a brief power outage at our office, but, I assume Rich will just cut that out. Enjoy!

Really had fun on today's program! Started off with a question I have for a Reformed Baptist minister, and all of his tribe, and the issue of "ecumenical councils," then went to callers. The first, about "Holocaustianity" went too long and went nowhere, but the rest were all thoughtful and really helpful. We have a great audience! I was really encouraged by the quality of the questions and the thinking they exemplified.

I guess I had more stuff from Joel Webbon than I thought I did as I kept running into it as I looked through my bookmarks today and we kept circling back, my apologies! But, after talking about "Holocaustianity" we did get to some Provisionist stuff, though I didn't get that finished up. Will do so next week, I hope. But, coming on Thursday, we will do another Zoom calls episode. See you then!

Touched on the current controversy raging over conditionalism/annihilationism in the first half hour. It is a tough topic, and rarely approached from the perspective that would allow a consistent, and biblical, conclusion. Then we looked at the Immaculate Conception defined 12/8/1854, and some amazing responses to a short post I put up about it just yesterday.

Covered a lot of topics today. Answered three questions from a great apologist up north (not that he needed them!), then dove into stuff on John 6, the use of metaphor, King James Onlyism and Steven Anderson (again!), Redeemed Zoomer, BishopJaxi, and finally, an emotion based "testimony" of conversion to Mormonism and the LDS priesthood. Don't forget to catch clips from the program if you can't listen to the whole thing here!

Did the program live from Pryor, Oklahoma (it's a bit nippy out here!). Covered some truly insane cultural items at the start, and then moved on to responding to @BishopJaxi's attack on sola scriptura on X. Important material for folks wanting to provide sound responses to those seeking a form of the church that Christ never intended us to have.
