I am afraid the title of his post may be a bit misleading, but YnottonY has transcribed a portion of Dr. White's Dividing Line show, and the title appears to be his only comment on it. I have not checked the transcription for accuracy in any formal way. (link)
It's important to note that one impression people might get from Tony's title is that Dr. White denies that God commands all men to repent and believe. He does not deny that, in fact Dr. White affirms that.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Interesting stuff. I am no stranger to Mr Byrne and Mr Ponter. I just wonder if they shall treat Dr White the way they treated me. To this very hour they will not even extend the courtesy of calling me brother despite all of our interaction on this issue which seems to be their “only” issue.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, the caller transcribed by Tony is Jason from the UK, who I have had good interaction with in the past upon this subject.
He actually stuck up for me at Unchained radio forums when "Trey Austin" (ironically) banned me because I dared to suggest openly that Tony and David's interpretations of certain passages were the same as Arminians had interpreted them.
I was banned for saying the truth and it created quite a stir.
But, I just wanted to let you know about Jason, because those guys were doing their utmost back then to dissuade Jason from listening to me!
It was good to hear Jason has not yet fully embraced some of Byrne's and Ponter's views upon the atonement and actually could hear what Dr White was saying respectfully, which is exactly what I have been saying on this matter etc.
The only difference I can see is that I got hammered by those guys (Trey, Tony and Ponter) and was treated very badly by them, so Dr White can be thankful for his treatment at their hands thus far!
Maybe I have taken all their heat and there is little left for others, I dunno. I can only hope.

Oh btw, this blog is very good.

Thank you, Mark. Sadly, you are not the first person to tell me of such an experience. I hope, however, that perhaps the group will engage the post above, and actually answer the tough questions.

T-Fan,
ReplyDeleteIf you (or anyone else) want to see one of the places where I last engaged Tartanarmy (Mark) publically on Calvinistic issues, then visit this post on Gene Cook's The Narrow Mind Aftermath (click). Gene Cook himself (an Owenist/Murrayite) commended my posts. I don't know if you will allow this comment to go through, but at least you (T-Fan) will have it to investigate.
YnottonY:
ReplyDeleteI've posted your comment. The post to which you link has a comment box of its own, in which there are a whole of accusations, arguments, etc.
I'm not too interested in the character of either you and your group or Mark.
So far, I have received only one answer to the questions I posed above. That was only a partial answer, and it was not from someone in your group, but from a Roman Catholic.

Yes, one of the "last" places we interacted. I could link people to a whole range of "earlier" links which might give some balance and perspective, but I will not do that here.

Thanks, Mark.
