Reformed Baptists: Thomism or Biblicism? (A Conversation with James White)

[@gustingdis]

I am going to call James White's fashion style " formal post apocalyptic prophet"

[@katiestewart4020]

Awesome interview, thank you. Please Dr. White come to Jacksonville soon!

[@brentonstanfield5198]

At about minute 17:00, Dr. White posses a question about men who say “the men who taught me the most about justification, were wrong about their doctrine of God”… he asks, where will that take you? The answer seems obvious, that ALL MEN are fallible… Thomas and many of the reformers.

[@torcoffee2747]

Looking forward to this

[@kendraannelliott969]

Great interview.

[@elijahpeterson2166]

Please come to Cape Coral pastor White!

[@bradleyfranks1285]

James White should definitely come to Florida!

[@robbarker9878]

I read Carter at MBTS for advanced hermeneutics with Pat Schreiner during my coursework. As a Westminster guy I remember being the most ardent anti-Thomist in the room, and I also remember us collectively not thinking much of Carter's arguments

Great interview! James White simp or not (me), i think it was well said and well done!

[@purpose8141]

Photo bomb 😆. Thank you for this interview! I thank God, the Church cannot fail, unless the Rock fails.

[@blakepace]

White touches on something that constantly delights me about Keith's Denominational Characterizations. My travels through the Christian Ghetto Lands bears him out. Once again, Great Minds Think Alike. Or is it Fools Seldom Differ? Oh well, carry on...

[@fredbutler5358]

No prof at TMS is ither recommending or teaching Great Tradition Exegesis/hermeneutic. Both Peter Sammons and Mike Ricarrdi would repudiate that view and are committed to garden variety historic-grammatical exegesis like the Good Lord intended all men to read His Scriptures.

[@87jdmills]

Exactly... For months I have heard James White make this accusation... Not once have I ever seen or heard him offer any evidence to back it up. I am specifically thinking of the accusation that Peter and Mike are promoting/recommending Carter's book.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

Yes what Dr James white says is true his teacher are in the master Seminary. And this is most alarming as even Tim Keller also is trying to do the same, They even recommend carter books too!

[@fredbutler5358]

@@sorrowinchrist3387 Someone recommended Carter's book at TMS? Who was it? Because I personally know a number of the men who teach at TMS and none of them like Carter's book.

[@87jdmills]

@@sorrowinchrist3387 could you please give support for this claim? Dr. White still has not done so. I also know some of these guys, and I know at least one of them that is supposedly recommending it has not even read it and has never promoted it.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

@@87jdmills Yes i can I am awaiting on Fred email and see if he is willing to talk about it. As I do like John macarthur and like his high standard but this will come crashing down with some like carter. Not blaming TMS they might not know at all. Can someone DM Dr James white first? Cause he does not lie?

[@robbarker9878]

The son as autotheos is not the minority view among neo Calvinists following Bavinck Vos etc. ( Also the Hodges and Van Til of course) brother James, just go all the way and become a Westminster Presbyterian already!

[@michaelmannucci8585]

He’s far too biblical to do that!

[@brianrich7828]

We love our solid Presby Borthers and Sisters. But we are firm in our view of Baptism, and church polarity.

[@setheasler9470]

Thomism is the boogeyman for James White in the same way that federal vision is the boogeyman for many contemporary Presbyterians.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

@Rodrick no i am not Catholic I am reformed.

We don't need Aquinas--he said a lot of stuff that is unbiblical, and everything he said that is true has been said better by Protestant theologians and philosophers.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

At the Master Seminary that is not good at all. :( Roman theology sneaking in! What Dr James white say is true everyone he is not making it up TMS is also recommending books from carter. Someone got to tell them! Carter like Keller wants to be both catholic and protestant and want to harmonize it in the reformed camp.

[@fredbutler5358]

No they are not! Stop it! I personally know the men who teach hermeneutics at TMS. None of them recommend it.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

@@fredbutler5358 Yes they do Fred i can show you? Will you accept the evidence? I dont blame TMS so dont get mad like this. I dont want to discuss it here as what is your email and i will talk you to about it. But I look up like with Dr James white to Macarthur as he hold himself to the highest standard. So lets discuss it privately if your willing to be of sound mind with out the attacks? Cause this is concerning me too. And it should for you!

[@fredbutler5358]

@@sorrowinchrist3387 Oh. Please do show the evidence and I will personally ask the people you name. Seeing that I know every one of them personally who teach this topic and they have already told me to my face that they don't use that book in class as a text, I want to know who it is misinforming me. Let's see it. And I am not getting mad. I am just correcting the record.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

@@fredbutler5358 Can you send me your email i dont want to publish it here. Or talk about it publicly its not the right place. And also what can you do if you did see it taught? Are they student, lecturer, etc going to be informed to take this person out? If you got the answer let me know your email and respond there. Or else as said in another post what is the point revealing if this is going to be push under the carpet and forgotten? And this is not base of Dr White word YOU WILL SEE IT. SEE THAT TMS IS INVOLED. You said that all you know says no? That might be true cause they dont know everything that goes on in the course. Anyway send your email to me if ok or where can I find it and let discuss there ok? And then you can judge if the record need to be corrected? Got a revelation that will stunt you but let discuss via email. I like John macarthur and look up to him and this not blame game. Might be just a carless mistake and Dr Macarthur is not president of the university any more. So maybe those in charge are more relax?

All these reformed evangelicals were predestined by God to read Thomas Aquinas and eventually to convert to catholicism. 😅 That's only a consequence of God's predestination.
