Challenging James White

Yesterday I was chatting with James White and he remarked that I am one of his competitors for Best Apologetics Blog at the Evangelical Blog Awards. He then asked why if we are inline for the same award, radio host Chuck Crismier asked White to go on his show to defend Perseverance of the Saints instead of me.

  • Justification
  • The Catholic Controversy

I propose that whoever loses this debate immediately withdraw his site from contention for Best Apologetics Blog.
