Shaquille O'Neal is 7 feet 1 and wears size 23 shoes. UCLA freshman Kevin Love is 6-10 and wears size 19 shoes.
So what's the explanation at Beverly Hills High for the strange sight of Jerome Johnson, only 6-2, wearing size 18 shoes?
"He looks like a big guy trapped in a little guy's body," basketball Coach Luis Turcios said.
Johnson is a 17-year-old senior who keeps waiting for his growth spurt. He has fingers almost as long as an ink pen, not to mention broad shoulders and those humongous feet. But since his freshman year, when he went from size 12 to size 18 shoes, he hasn't done much vertical growing.
"I was looking forward to it and kids have expected me to shoot up throughout high school," he said. "I hope it does happen before the season ends."
Turcios is beginning to think that some college coach is eventually going to benefit rather than him.
"Coach told me that Devean George grew nine inches in college," Johnson said, referring to the former Laker.
Johnson's father is 6-8, so there's height in the family to indicate his shoe size is no fluke. The good news is he has learned to dribble like a guard and shoot accurately from outside. And his 240-pound body is big enough to allow him to bang underneath against taller opponents.
With basketball practice beginning Nov. 10, Johnson understands that time is running out to become the big man on campus.
"I'm assuming it's all going to happen at once," he said.
He just doesn't know when.
How many timeouts does it take to distract a kicker? Apparently five isn't enough to disrupt the concentration of Westlake Village Westlake kicker Jordan Mannisto, who made a 50-yard field goal as time expired to defeat Thousand Oaks, 17-14, last week.
His own coach, Jim Benkert, called a timeout with three seconds left. Then Thousand Oaks Coach Mike Leibin, a former Westlake assistant, called three consecutive timeouts. Then Benkert called another.
"Everybody was confused because they thought I was trying to ice my own kicker," Benkert said.
Benkert had decided to go for a fake field goal after Leibin's third timeout. That's why he called another timeout to change his strategy.
Mannisto, who has been the goalie for the soccer team and a top pitcher for the baseball team, was amused by Leibin's tactics.
"He was doing as much as he could to make me not make it," he said.
Leibin said he was calling timeouts not just to make Mannisto miss but out of concern Westlake was changing its formation for a possible fake field goal.
There was a time the top boys' basketball players in the Southland were leaving for colleges on the East Coast. Now it's the top girls' players. Jasmine Dixon from Long Beach Poly and Nikki Speed from Los Angeles Marlborough are headed to Rutgers.
Thousand Oaks baseball Coach Frank Mutz believes his team can be a Southern Section Division I title contender because of his talented one-two pitching duo of Jeff Johnson, headed to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Chad Smith, headed to USC. Add third baseman Jeff Bandy, who has committed to Arizona, and the Lancers certainly have star power.
Bizarre behavior has been taking place at Franklin High in Stockton, where the football program had been accused of 54 rule violations by the Sac-Joaquin Section for recruitment of players from American Samoa. Last week, Franklin decided to play three ineligible football players in open defiance of CIF rules. Now the football program has been shut down and won't be allowed to play through 2009.
On Thursday, the football coach resigned, one day after a Superior Court judge refused to lift the sanctions and wrote: "The SUSD -- a public school district, no less -- has shown an appalling and reckless disregard for the interests of Franklin's other current players as well as the entire Franklin community."
Oregon has picked up a big commitment from underrated running back Kenjon Barner of Riverside Notre Dame. Barner has rushed for 1,957 yards and scored 23 touchdowns this season.
The City Section girls' golf championships are set for Monday at Encino Golf Course, and the big question is whether anyone can stop the Park family. Daniel Park of LACES won three consecutive City boys' titles, and sister Michelle is going for her second consecutive girls' title. Chatsworth and Venice are favored for the team title.
Beverly Hills senior still growing
Shaquille O'Neal is 7 feet 1 and wears size 23 shoes. UCLA freshman Kevin Love is 6-10 and wears size 19 shoes.

"Champions" Is an anthemic tribute to sporting greats throughout the years. People who inspire us to run faster, jump higher, and to be the very best we can be.
There are many influences within this track, and at a steady tempo of 135bpm, it has an uplifting feelgood factor. Haunting choral background vocals, chamber strings and brass sections tie together to support the lead guitars melody, all drifting along on top of a foot-tapping bass riff and tight drums.
I have used some iconic sounds and styles as my inspiration whilst creating this track, so that feeling of recognition helps the listener become hooked very quickly, thus helping to enhance the focus upon the visuals to which this song may be backing.
I think this is a great tune that can be used to promote achievement, portray strength of character, and express great pride. It will sound wonderful in any application or project.

Daniel Ryder is buried in Liberty United Methodist Church Cemetery in Bibb County, Georgia. At one time, the area was known as the Walden community, or Rutland district. His stone is a simple military stone with no dates. It reads:
Co K
U.S. Cld. Inf.
There is stone to the left of his that is partially sticking up out of the ground with no visible markings. Is this a random stone? Maybe it's a marker for Daniel's wife, Dilly Ann.
Daniel is buried a good distance away from the rest of the individuals within the cemetery. I can only assume it's because of his race. I believe Daniel died between 1910 and 1920. "Separate but equal?" Here's a photo showing the distance. I was kneeling at Daniel's stone when I took the picture.
Daniel and his family are found in the 1910 Rutland District, Bibb County, Georgia Federal Census:
- Ryder, Daniel (Head) age 62; married 42 years; born Virginia; Farmer
- Ryder, Dilly Ann (Wife) age 59; 7 children (6 living); born South Carolina
- Williams, Will (Son-In-Law) age 33; married 6 years (2nd marriage); born Georgia; Farmer
- Williams, Stella (Daughter) age 28; born Georgia
This entry suggests Daniel was born about 1848 and married Dilly Ann about 1868.
Daniel and his family are then found in the 1900 Rutland District, Bibb County, Georgia Federal Census:
- Ryder, Daniel (Head) born December 1847; married 31 years; born Virginia; Farmer
- Ryder, Dilliann (Wife) born January 1850
- Ryder, Estella (Daughter) born March 1880, Georgia; Farm Laborer
- Ryder, Bessie (Daughter) born December 1884, Georgia; Farm Laborer
Daniel's son William and his family were next:
- Ryder, William (Head) born August 1872; married 10 years; born Georgia; Farm Laborer
- Ryder, Georgian (Wife) born May 1870, Georgia
- Ryder, Daniel (Son) born July 1891, Georgia
- Ryder, William (Son) born August 1893, Georgia
- Ryder, Clifford (Son) born May 1895, Georgia
- Ryder, Evaline (Daughter) born March 1898, Georgia
I can go back once more. Here is Daniel and family in the 1880 Rutland District, Bibb County, Georgia Federal Census:
- Daniel Ryder (Self) age 33, born Virginia, Laborer
- Dilly Ann Ryder (Wife) age 32, born Georgia, Keeping House
- Nora Ryder (Daughter) age 10, born Georgia
- Willie Ryder (Son) age 8, born Georgia
- Alverta Ryder (Daughter) age 4, born Georgia
- Friddy Ryder (Son) age 2, born Georgia
- Stella Ryder (Daughter) age 2 months, born Georgia
I could not easily find Daniel Ryder in the 1870 census. The prior records suggest he was married to Dilly Ann by that time, and possibly had one child.
Between 1865 and 1866, Daniel Ryder was a private in Company K, 137 U. S. Colored Infantry Regiment. This regiment was organized in Selma, Alabama in 1865 and mustered in Macon, Georgia. Duty was in the Department of Georgia until 1866. Some units were assigned to cleanup and burial details in and near Andersonville. The recruits were mostly farmers, laborers, and ex-slaves. Sounds like Daniel was all three.
Daniel can be found in the Soldiers and Sailors System as Daniel Rider. His name is on the African American Civil War Memorial in Washington, DC - plaque #E-139.
Now, can we go farther back? I have a hunch Daniel Ryder was a slave owned by William Ryder of Houston and Bibb counties, Georgia. I'm going by the fact that many slaves took the names of their "masters" after emancipation. The fact that Daniel had a son named William might also be a clue.
If I am correct, the 1860 Bibb County, Georgia Slave Schedule has William Ryder owning 9 slaves. One was a 13 year old boy. There was a 33 year old female, but no male around that age.
The 1850 Houston County, Georgia Slave Schedule shows William Ryder owned 5 slaves. One was a 2 year old boy. There was a 40 year old female, but no male around that age.
I believe the young boy in each of these slave schedules is Daniel Ryder. Aside from the horrifying fact that he was a slave, it does not appear that he was ever with his father. He may not have even been with his mother, though I do hope (even though the ages don't fit this theory) the older woman on each of these schedules was his mother. Unfortunately, it seems Daniel Ryder spent the first 17 years of his life a slave and apart from his family. I wonder if he ever was with them again.
A somewhat interesting fact is that Daniel's one-time owner, William Ryder, and William's wife are also buried in Liberty United Methodist Church cemetery. This, in my opinion, further boosts the theory William at one time owned Daniel.
William Ryder
Aug 15, 1819 Liverpool, Eng
Dec 12, 1895
Wife of William Ryder
Mar 15, 1823
Aug 17, 1907
Another possibly interesting note: William Ryder, owner of Daniel, was a teacher. I wonder if he allowed Daniel to be taught to read, write, etc,...
After the research of Daniel, I can say I am still fascinated by him and his story. If there is anyone out there with any information about this man, I am certainly interested in knowing more about him. Especially if any corrections need to be made to the research I conducted, please let me know. Lastly, I thank Daniel for his service to our country.


text: I just created a new server with CentOS 6.4 running on my hardware node, I've installed OpenVZ Web Panel, and I have five VMs running on the system. Each virtual node is running Debian Squeeze. Every time I reboot the hardware node, the memory limits are being lost, both the RAM and the Swap. After this occurs, the system becomes unusable, the server no longer serves web pages and I get errors primarily on "numpty" and "kmemsize". Primarily the "numpty" failcnt is very high. Even though I set the sizes in OpenVZ Web Panel, the values don't appear to be saved in the container configuration. If you've experienced anything like this, do you know what might cause the problem?

I have an op-ed in Politico today that explores what I call President Obama's power problem, a common theme in my work (my book is now in a Kindle edition!).
Simply stated, when a country has more military power than it needs to defend itself and its core interests, it will expand its definition of "the national interest." This will, in turn, lead it to intervene militarily in places and disputes that have no connection to the country's security. That certainly has been the pattern for the United States for at least the last two decades. The problem is nicely encapsulated in the famous exchange between Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell, which Powell recounted in his memoir.
Madeleine Albright, our ambassador to the UN, asked me in frustration "What's the point of having this superb military that you're always talking about if we can't use it?" I thought I would have an aneurysm. American GIs were not toy soldiers to be moved around on some sort of global game board.
This brings us to Libya, and to a new group of people who likely said something similar to Mike Mullen and Bob Gates. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's disagreements with Gates were on public display last Sunday, but reports of a whisper campaign within the administration, in which Clinton and her advisers were frustrated by President Obama's unwillingness to deploy the U.S. military on yet another mission, have been flying around for weeks.
In the end, the Valkyries got their war. Clinton's advice, along with that of Samantha Power and Susan Rice, who have all loudly called for U.S. military intervention in the past, convinced President Obama to override Gates and Mullen's objections, and to launch what Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman aptly characterized yesterday as "just the most muddled definition of an operation probably in U.S. military history." Anne-Marie Slaughter, who recently returned to Princeton after a stint at State's policy planning staff, was sniping from the sidelines. Pressure from our European allies, especially France's Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron in the UK, also appears to have been decisive.
This is not so unique a set of circumstance, however, as I discussed with Cato Audio's Caleb Brown a few days ago. Near the end of the interview, I focused on the particular challenges that confront the leader of a country whose military capabilities seem almost limitless:
I agree that it is difficult, it is very difficult, for the President of the United States to resist the impulse to intervene when he has people, many people, calling on him to do something. But it's precisely because we have so much power, and because the temptation to use it is almost overwhelming, that a president has to have extraordinary discipline and say: "No. I was elected by the people of the United States to protect them, to keep this country safe and security, and if a mission does not advance those ends I will not do it."
That is not the counsel of despair, and the counsel of inaction. On the contrary, there are many other countries, especially those in Libya's immediate neighborhood, that have both a compelling national security rationale and a moral rationale [to intervene]. And it's precisely the combination of those factors that we, the United States, should have encouraged in the past, and we could have encouraged in this particular case. Instead, other countries waited for the United States to act,…
Caleb Brown, Cato Audio: And just the possibility the U.S. will act probably puts a lot of countries on the sideline…
Me: That's correct…. Because of the expectation that the United States will act, it causes other people to wait it out. And sometimes, tragically, they wait it out too long. Because, again, the United States does not always intervene. There are a number of cases where we have not. And I fear that we have set up a system where, if the United States doesn't act, nothing gets done, and I don't think that's the right approach. I think there are alternatives that will use other countries' legitimate security interests to advance humanitarian ends.
You can listen to the whole clip here.

Changes to check down options in our passing game?
I have read a number of different stories over the bye week about how we will be providing more check down options for Denard. Since I am not at practice, I have no idea if this actually will be the case or just some aspirational thinking coming after a disasterous passing performance.
This made me wonder about our check down options in the first place. It just seems like another route combination for Denard's reads. We do seem to have short routes already which I would consider a check down. What else should we add? The only thing we don't seem to do is regularly swing out the RB as an option, my guess is that is due to the need for addiitonal pass protection or confidence in their ability to catch the ball.
Just wondering if anyone had any insight regarding an actual change to our route combinations in this regard.

The Fake Independent Mind (or, Where Are All the Hamsters With Wings?)
The information age is rough. It's so hard to know what's true.
For example, how do I know which emails I forward on to ten friends will actually result in good luck versus those that won't? Can that pill really make my penis add on inches? (Inches!) And that deposed Nigerian prince sounds so sincere.
But I don't know… So many people abuse the truth in so many ways and for so many reasons. What to do? What to believe?
It's easy to drop the wise approach of "don't believe everything you hear" and regress into "don't believe anything you hear." Of course, people who claim they don't believe anything always end up believing something. Those who don't believe "The Media" always end up getting their news from some other source that could also easily be categorized as "The Media."
Still, the primal reaction to disbelieve everything is understandable. You're hesitant to take things on faith, and that's wise, but in our specialist-driven society, you have to be able to assess others because you can't be an expert in all fields.
So the info glut is here to stay, and we can't necessarily assess the truth of something as much as we'd like, but we can easily assess our assessment. We can check our own bias, and check against timeless rules. For example, is this something we want to be true? Is this too good to be true? Is this so complex I have unanswered questions and some clown is pressuring me to act now? Etc.
That introspection is becoming (or has become) our lone critical tool. Without it, we look ridiculous.
Case in point: climate change deniers. These people could use some serious self-assessment, because the extent of their research into climate change involves a paid shill telling them it doesn't exist. Now of course I don't know that for certain. It's entirely possible that they consulted more than one paid shill.
Besides, aren't I making a leap of faith that climate change is real? Well, sure. I am. But not all leaps of faith are created equal. I haven't done massive amounts of research into climate change, either. Who can? Scientists can. And when you line up lots of scientists and they believe it, is it wise to doubt them or believe instead the opposite view being pushed by a talking head with a well-known habit of always defending big business?
If climate change deniers are so independently-minded, why haven't they instead started a "Pilots Are Dumb" movement? On any given flight, why aren't there legions of people rushing the cockpit, shoving the pilot aside while screaming, "Get out of here! You don't know what you're doing! I can fly this bird better than you!"
Why haven't the climate change deniers called for the firing of surgeons? Why aren't hordes of talk-radio junkies kicking open the doors to operating rooms, plastic knife in hand, screaming, "Step away from the body! I'll handle this!"
And how dare they claim to "Support the troops!" Surely the troops are criminally incompetent compared to a climate change deniers' renaissance-man-like skill set.
No, they're not doing any of that. That would be absurd to claim they're experts in fields that require such intensive training!
Yet somehow, climate change deniers are experts in climate change.
So let's review: They have no piloting background, but there's no movement to overthrow pilots. No surgery background, no movement to overthrow doctors. No climate change background, yet there's a movement to disregard climate scientists. What a lucky coincidence for the industries that are anti-environmental protection! All without the use of propaganda! (Wink.)
One more example that's great for larfs: when people who don't claim to have studied any biology try to deny evolution, but offer up some insane condition which would allegedly win them over. As in, "I don't believe in evolution and I won't believe it until I see a hamster with wings. If evolution is real, where are all the hamsters with wings? And gravity? Calling B.S. on that! What about Superman? It doesn't affect Superman, so how can you say it's a hard and fast law of physicsology?"
I feel bad for scientists and true independent thinkers. In their naïve honesty, they'll say things like, "Well, we're 99% sure carbon emissions from human activity heat up the globe and screw with the climate." That's all the opening a fake independent mind needs. "Oh, you're not definitely sure? Well call me back when you are. Until then, go away. I have to gas up my SUV for another three mile drive."
Of course thinking for yourself is a great thing, as long as you sprinkle it with some humility. But that's what the fake independent mind doesn't do. They are confusing independent thought with a mind unanchored. They refuse to believe anything they don't want to that's beyond their own experience. There's no better recipe for ignorance than that.

The Influence of Arthur Miller on American Theater and Culture and the Global Implications of His Plays
Susan C.W. Abbotson
Arthur Miller (1915–2005) was the author of essays, journals, short stories, a novel, and a children's book, but is best known for his more than two dozen plays, which include the seminal American dramas Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. A staunch patriot and humanist, Miller's work conveys a deeply moral outlook whereby all individuals have a responsibility both to themselves and to the society in which they must live. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Miller maintained his optimism that despite humanity's unfortunate predisposition toward betrayal, people could transcend this and be better. In the creation of Death of a Salesman, along with its director Elia Kazan and designer Jo Mielziner, Miller brought a new style of play to the American stage which mixes the techniques of realism and expressionism; this has since been dubbed "subjective realism" and provoked a redefinition of what tragedy might mean to a modern audience. Influenced by the social-problem plays of the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, the experimental poetics of Clifford Odets and Tennessee Williams, and the inventive staging of Thornton Wilder, Miller created his own brand of drama that often explored macrocosmic social problems within the microcosm of a troubled family. Though he is viewed as a realist by some critics, his work rarely conforms to such limitations, and his entire oeuvre is notable for its experimentation in both form and subject matter, with only his inherent philosophical beliefs to provide connection. For Miller, people need to understand that they are products of their pasts, and that it is inevitable that "the birds come home to roost," but through acknowledging this and actively owning any guilt attached, individuals and society can improve.
Miller was raised in a largely secular Jewish environment, and his morality has a Judaic inflection and he wrote several plays featuring Jewish characters; however, his themes address universal issues and explore the impact of the past, the role of the family, and a variety of belief systems from capitalism to socialism, along with providing lessons in responsibility and connection, and exploring the abuses and misuses of power. His works provide insight into the heart of human nature in all its horror and glory, including its capacity for love and sacrifice as well as denial and betrayal. Miller was able to see both the comedy and tragedy within the human condition. His driving concern was to make a difference, and it was through his writing that he found his means.
The Vietnam War in American Literature
Catherine Calloway
Vietnam War literature is a prolific canon of literature that consists primarily of works by American authors, but it is global in scope in its inclusion of texts from writers of other nationalities like Australia, France, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. The war's literature first emerged in the 1950s during the Cold War when Americans were serving as advisors to the French and the Vietnamese in literary works such as Graham Greene's The Quiet American, a British novel, and William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick's The Ugly American, an American novel, and gradually evolved as American involvement in the war escalated. In the mid-1960s, Bernard B. Fall, who grew up in France and later moved to the United States, offered well-known nonfiction accounts like Street Without Joy: The French Debacle in Indochina and Hell in a Small Place: The Siege of Dien Bien Phu, and numerous other writers, mostly Americans, began to contribute their individual accounts of the war. Thousands of literary works touch on the Vietnam conflict in some way, whether in the form of combat novels, personal narratives and eyewitness accounts, plays, poems, and letters, and by both male and female writers and authors of different ethnicities. These numerous literary works reflect the traits unique to this war as well as conditions endemic to all wars. Many Vietnam War texts share the cultural necessity to bear witness and to tell their writers' diverse war stories, including accounts from those who served in combat to those who served in the rear to those who served in other roles such as the medical profession, clerical work, and the entertainment industry. Important, too, are the stories of those who were affected by the war on the home front and those of the Vietnamese people, many of whom were forced to leave their homeland and resettle elsewhere after the war during the Vietnamese diaspora. While combat novels are still being written about the Vietnam War decades later, notably Denis Johnson's award-winning Tree of Smoke and Karl Marlantes's Matterhorn, bicultural studies that reflect work by North Vietnamese writers and the Viet Kieu are especially pertinent because Vietnam War literature is a continuing influence on the literature emerging from the 21st-century conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It states: The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

James R White Exposed!

The hidden reason as to why he attacks the KJV!!!
In my personal opinion mainstream christianity is in a deep sleep! James White is a zealous attacker of the King James Bible. He has some 11,000 subscribers here on youtube, over 4 million views on his videos of which some of them I like very much (i.e. "40 arabic words") but the Lord warned us not to be deceived even if the wolves might look as if they were sheep. The occult satanic symbols on the covers of / in his books speak louder than words.
I challenge every Christian who has not yet done some basic investigations on occult Freemasonry / Illuminati to do it. Many Bible-believing Christians have made great exposés on their symbolism and how they manage it that the masses buy into their cover-up-explanations on what their satanic symbols REALLY mean. I´d like to recommend a few videos for Christians who are not familiar with the enemies devices and how mainstream christianity is being duped by the wolves in sheep clothes, hiding their real purpose behind a bright front of supposed Christianity:
1. All films by CHRIS PINTO (Adullam Films) such as there are: "Secret Mysteries of Americas Beginnings" (4 volumes), especially volume "Riddles in Stone" (NOT ONLY revealing w regards to America - but revealing w regards to the global massive infiltration of occult Freemasonry in all aspects of life) and many others. (and VERY revealing: "A Lamp In The Dark - The Untold History Of The Bible" (Chris Pinto))
2. Watch the exposés by BILL SCHNOEBELEN ("The Light Behind Freemasonry" and "Expsong The Illuminati From Within" and many others.
3. Watch the many videos by Watchman MIKE HOGGARD ("Freemasonry Symbols Revelaled" [and watching this video very carefully, you ought to be equipped to spot the many other freemason-influenced preachers on the tv, internet etc.!!); "Which Bible Should I Believe? and "Which Bible? You Be The Judge - (3 parts!)"; "Da Vinci Code Unmasked" and MANY others by Michael Hoggard.
Here the link to the video I used for this video here (this was part 3 of 7):
----- PLEASE WATCH ALL 7 parts (à 10min.) of it - very precious exposure!!!)
it was done by the YT-uploader "husky394xp" and the title is: Ridiculous Bible Perversions of the New Age. It is really worth watching ALL 7 parts of this exposé - the 7-part series will give you a detailed explanation on a) which manuscripts are in the modern bibles (Sola Scriptura-people: it was NOT the manuscripts Luther, Wycliffe, Tyndale used... it is a deception only to lean on the names of the martyrs who suffered such strong persecution, yes to even die for the text that is still in the King James Bible but NOT in your modern bibles!!!
Furthermore you will have the opportunity to look at the forerunners to the NASB, NIV, ESV etc. - you will see that all these modern biles had OCCULT symbols on their early covers.
Btw: go to google pics and type "American Bible Society" (and any other country´s Bible Society). What do you see as their logo? It is a SUN symbol...! wake up christianity, wake up!

The big reason why James White has gone under the radar is b/c alot of these end times discernment ministries do NOT use the KJV themselves. Yeah, these discernment ministries do an excellent job exposing the Emergent Church, but the fact that 95% of the modern-day church has thrown out the KJV speaks volume of the Apostasy going on. As for the Emergent Church - yes, they are putting the final nail in the coffin in terms of ushering in the Rev 13 prophecies, but they are NOT the ROOT source of the problem for obvious reasons. They didn't even exist when the KJV was in the early stages of getting thrown out.
This was my first King James Bible - over 3 years ago a brother on PPF pointed out the heresies in Isaiah 14:12, and how Lucifer is omitted from the other versions, and the next thing I know I picked up a KJV in my house, but it was one by the ABS. While the ABS KJV didn't delete, add, substitute words, per se, what they did was choose the "archaic" words, replace them with "easier to understand" words, and then put all the "archaic" words in the back of the bible with the references to the "easier to understand" words they substituted in scripture.
Like said, they didn't "delete" them, per se, but nonetheless the average person like myself will end up ignoring going to the back of the bible pages to see the references, hence not having God's word ingrained in us. But when you have the KJV as IT IS, then the Holy Ghost will TEACH YOU the meanings of these words.
Ultimately, what ABS did was VERY subtle, even though they acted like they wanted to be helpful.

Just like with the KJV 2000 edition the archaic words are replaced, i dont trust the ABS, nearly everything has been infiltrated by sinful men that have no love for the truth, and if the RCC counter reformers or anti religion illuminati men are behind it i wont be surprised either.

James White, Alpha and Omega, finally HONEST
James White admits that the modern versions were produced for MONEY. King James Bible Believers have been making this claim for years. Finally some honesty. You can see additional videos at

Alot of these KJV-attackers have ultimately admitted alot of these truths - DA Carson(one of these "scholars") is one of them.
Sometimes I wonder if these guys were not exactly Jesuits or anything to begin with, but were deceived b/c they thought God was calling them into "bigger" and "wealthier" ministries, only to have their consciences nag them over the long haul. Reminds me of some of these rock n roll stars where over the long haul, they realized they bought into a big lie and saw reality somewhat(that all the earthly riches of this world wasn't all that it was advertised it to be).
1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

James White seems to me to be out more for publicity than for the Lord.
Today's Show:
Chris discusses the historic character of 19th century German scholar, Constantine von Tischendorf, in response to a critical review by Dr. James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries. Dr. White has voiced a number of objections to the portrayal of Tischendorf in our film, "Tares Among the Wheat." But are his objections based on true scholarship? Among his complaints is that the film is not like "CNN reporting," that we failed to include White's favorite quotes, and that some of the music sounded "spooky" to him. Yet, interestingly, he was unable to point to any specific fact or historic data that was inaccurate.
Today's Show:
Chris addresses yet another review from Dr. James White concerning our film, "Tares Among the Wheat," and considers further the arguments made by White on the subject of Constantine Simonides and the events of the 19th century. The tone of White's latest critique is certainly more respectful than before, but he continues to oppose the facts of history, suggesting that eyewitnesses who lived through that time were somehow or other incorrect about the environment in which they lived.

Well, at least White didn't say this film "is not like MSNBC reporting".
White is probably a Freemason/Luciferian/occultist - he most definitely has an agenda going with all-out attacks on the KJB. Ditto DA Carson(another one of those "I stand for the faith of Jesus but I hate the KJB" wolves).
If anything - White has been able to quietly creep into some of the end times "Christian" watchmen ministry circles b/c some to a lot of these end times "Christian" ministries that expose the Emergent Church et al do NOT take a stand for the KJB. And White, at least from the outward appearance, has no connections to Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Bill Hybels, and the EC.

Im thinking White was against Catholics to get some credibility. Because everything he says comes right from a catholic source. Gonna dig deeper but he seems to be the perfect example of an infiltrator.

Sorry about that - he did a lot of them on his YT channel(husky394xp) - some of them he exposed White under different titled videos. You may have to go back as far as 2 years ago(maybe 3-4). He's been moving around since last year, so he hasn't done as many video exposes.
edwardpf123 is a YT guy(who's friends with Bryan, and is a KJB Christian Apologetics guy) - he's done a lot of videos exposing White's heresies.

I must say this James White guy sure likes to say I and ME a lot. He really seems to puff himself up way more than he probably should. I can really see this guy in for a big fall here in the future, he is very prideful, and not very humble at all.
Here is the rest of the debate between James White and Chris Pinto over Codex Sinaiticus.
Here is the actual debate that i can find.
In Response to Chris Pinto
I had simply wanted to play the debate into the DL feed, but when I saw Chris Pintos spin article this morning (the first thing I was appraised of upon arising) I felt it appropriate to respond, which I did for the first about 35 minutes of the program. Then I played the entire debate. Enjoy!
Let me say this, who rants for well over 35 minutes about the debate BEFORE the debate. You should have with held your opinion until after the actual audio of the debate and not before so as not to influence what was being said. BUT some how i really get the feeling that was your purpose. So i skipped that part and will listen after the debate. James White is super arrogant.

Just want to say, James White did a poor job of defending his position. He presented no evidence, no proof no nothing. Did a good job of defending the Catholic position though. I mean his only proof that he isnt a jesuit is that he debates catholics.
awesome defense...
Chris presented facts and quotes for his defense of his film.

That's one of the biggest problems with these false teachers - not all, but for the most part, they babble on about their OPINIONS and their OWN WORDS on end, without quoting much scripture. Sure, some false teachers will be like a scripture quoting machine, but for the most part otherwise that is.
For example, having listened to these Jerry Falwell/Rick Warren types on the MSM for years, they do the same - they puff themselves up with "I" and "me"(ie-Warren continuing to promote his PDL book instead of the bible).
As for James White - the guy just looks creepy, to say the least!

Apologist Defends Group at Center of Tattoo, Beer Church Plant Fundraisers Amid Growing Concerns
A well-known apologist and debater whose son-in-law was recently shown in a live online video obtaining a tattoo at one of the fundraisers for his congregations proposed church plant has let loose on anyone questioning the group over the matter, and is calling out media reportsincluding the one from this publication, which first released the reportas being partial.
Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries took to his webcast on Monday to speak about the issue after releasing an assertive blog post with his daughter on Saturday.
As previously reported, on June 22, Marcus Pittman, the head of Apologia Studios in Tempe, Arizona, posted a provocative live, public video of the tattoo fundraiser to social media, which he gave the questioning title Apologia Studios Tattoo Parlor?! (View here.) Apologia Studios is a part of Apologia Church, led by Jeff Durbin, which is seeking to plant a new church in Kauai.
In the footage, a supporter named Thad is having a Greek Chi-Rho symbol tattooed on his arm while in the ministrys studio, as a tattoo artist from the congregation had offered his services to help raise funds for his part in the church planting effort.
This is actually a fundraiser for our Apologia Kauai church plant, so people of the church are donating to have another member of the church tattoo them so they can go to Kauai and we can plant a church there, Pittman explains. So, its pretty cool.
Weeks prior, on June 1 4, Pittman and Durbin, along with Les Lanphere of Reformed Pubcast, also hosted a conference called ReformCon, which included a time of talking theology over beer at a local pub. Attendees could participate in a beer flight, which is a sampling of various beers.
This ticket allows you to get a beer flight from Boulders on Broadway. All the proceeds from this benefit our Kauai church plant! the website for the event outlines. Boulders is all about the food, craft beer, bike riding, rock climbing and adventure! With 30 draft handles and 70 plus bottles of craft beer. Bring a friend and check out our selection.
Bible-cross-pdPittman had outlined in detail his belief that Christians should drink in public and even take over the brewing industry for Christ in a 2014 article on the site Gospel Spam, of which he was a contributor. He explained that he opposes drunkenness, but disagrees with those who find drinking in itself to be a worldly activity.
Alcohol has become so synonymous with worldliness that it is almost impossible for anyone to imagine that alcohol is a gift from the Lord to be enjoyed by Christians even when Scripture is indisputable about the topic, he wrote. Drinking in public does not make you look like the world; it makes you as Christ.
Christians need to be in the business. We need to be the ones brewing the beer, creating the wine, Pittman continued. We need to be the ones owning the fine taverns and kicking out drunkards. We need to be the ones who reinvent the industry and take control from the world. Its time that we stop the silence and cowardice on this issue. But first we need to drink in public again.
In a statement that Durbin wrote opposing Christian News Networks news report, he released last months correspondence with the networks publisher, during which Durbin outlined, I believe that drunkenness and addiction to drugs is a very serious sin against God and I have exercised church discipline on a member for unrepentant drunkenness.
Perhaps you think having a beer is worldly? Or that going to a pub to have a drink to have a drink is worldly? I respect your opinion and tradition. I strongly disagree with you and do so on the basis of the word of God, he said.
Jeremiah Roberts, an Apologia member, recently noted in online comments that the congregation was 90% drug addicts coming out of rehab at its inception.
Durbin also took to Facebook this week to outline that he does not seek to be cool, and that the only time he promotes the fruit of the vine in church is during communion.
I confess, every Sunday might qualify us as regular drinkers. We call it: C-O-M-M-U-N-I-O-N. I confess to pushing alcohol in this context. I confess to trying to get everyone to drink. And I do not repent, he quipped.
But on June 4, Durbin live streamed the pub meetup/beer flight at Boulders on Broadway, which had been offered as one of the fundraisers for the church plant, and posted it for public viewing. (View here.)
I think this is probably the largest pub meetup. What do you guys think? I think so, he notes in the footage, being met with a reply by an attendee who hoped it would be bigger next year.
Apologias ReformCon conference covered a host of issues, such as the importance of the sovereignty of God and Sola Scriptura, and featured a variety of discussions with invited guests.
But on point with the issue, during the Q&A session with Darren Doane and Nate Wilson, and in the context of discussing whether or not theology can be fun, Doane shared a story of how he concluded that theology gets you drinking, and if not, youre gay.
He said that both studying wine in the Bible and considering the words of a friend shaped his conclusion.
All of a sudden it hits me that wine burns, he explains during the session, which is posted on YouTube. I take grape juice, its sweet, its fun. My kids love it.
But when you take wine, whew, it burns. Its fire, Doane continued, comparing it to Scriptures notation that God is a consuming fire.
He said that he continued sorting through the matter in his mind, and later, during a visit to Idaho, the words of a friend persuaded him to begin drinking.
I know you dont drink and all, but youre all for it. But if you dont drink, whos going to teach your daughters to drink? the friend asked.
I got on the plane and I was like, Teach my daughters to drink? Why would I Doane thought through. So theyre going to look at meIm the Jesus guy in the family. Im dad, and theyre going to look at Jesus in the Bible and it looks like Jesus drank wine.'
And then I was like, Wow, I need to start drinking,' he said. I need to learn how to do it, be responsible. Cause I want to be a part of this theological picture God has created and designed. He said, I am wine.'
Doane said that he told his wife that he needed to start drinking, and that he now has a way better marriage.
Thats what theology does. Theology makes things better. Theology gets you drinking, he said, evoking laughter and smiles. Theology gets you dancing. Theology gets you just celebrating things, enjoying foodthats what theology does. And for all you married people, you know what Im talking about. It makes it better.
Thats what theology does, Doane repeated. And if its not doing that, youre gay.
Those on the stage laughed and replied, Mark that.
Youre theologys gay if its not doing that, Doane repeated as Durbin chuckled.
While some saw nothing objectionable with the concept of offering tattoos as a way to raise funds for a church plant, nor making a beer flight available at a gospel conference, others remarked that they found the unconventional ideas to be inappropriate for church fundraising.
Sonny Hernandez, a military chaplain and adjunct professor of theology, provided his view on the subject of church fundraising and whether the two concepts should be accepted or allowed by the Church.
The message of Scripture is about holiness, having a contrite heart, and being a Christ-centered modelto be like Christ as Ephesians 5:1 tells us, he explained to Christian News Network, as outlined in the initial report. And I just dont think those methodologies and those practices are commensurate with the testimony of Scripture.
But following the release of the news report, James White blasted the article as being a hit piece against specific people. He outlined that he knows Durbin well and noted that his son-in-law was the one obtaining the tattoo in the video.
[T]here is a reason Thad was getting a chi-rho. I have a chi-rho. My son Joshua is getting a chi-rho. And Thad wanted to get a chi-rho as well, White wrote in a blog post on the matter.
This is a chi-rho
This is the Catholic symbol that Constantine saw in the sky.
Originally it was a discussion we had over Christmas, that we would all get chi-rhos, since Josh is my son, and Thad is my son-in-law. In fact, Im fairly sure I had already provided the funds for that chi-rho.
Among other contentions, he and his daughter, Summer Pinchwho is a member of Apologiatook issue that the report did not include the other fundraisers at Apologia, such as the bake sales and dinners.
Ive gained weight participating (read: purchasing and consuming) in bake sales, cotton candy sales, and dinners, the financial beneficiaries of which are the Apologia Kauai church plant, Pinch wrote. The members of the church are coming out in droves, giving of their time, talents and energy, and all they ask is that you donate to the church plant in return.
White also noted that the tattoo fundraiser was three weeks after ReformCon and was not advertised to the public.
There is a conflation going on between one thing that was offered as a fundraiser at ReformCon and something that took place weeks later that was not advertised, he asserted in his webcast on Monday. There werent, like, people walking down the streets going, Hey, come to our church; were a tattoo parlor now. And that was three weeks separate!
Therefore, those that posted commentary on the matter, such as Pastor J.D. Hall of Polemics Report, were chastised as going on partial information and judging from afar.
But in his post on Monday, Hall stated that he found Whites contentions to be deflective of the focus of the article, which was whether these two specific types of fundraisers should be acceptable for church plants and if they should be considered being of the world or nota biblical prohibitionas Hernandez opined. White did not mention Hernandez in his post or webcast, nor did he address Hernandez remarks.
As polemicists, deflections avoiding substantive discussion typically come from either (1) misdirecting accolades of the good qualities of the person or institution questioned or (2) firing accusatory bullets toward the messenger, he wrote.
Hall said that Whites response could have included thoughtful discussion on answers to questions such as What happens when Christian liberty issues (alcohol consumption, for example) conflict with Christian maturity? Are there limits to Christian liberty? Should we associate our private or personal Christian liberties with functions of the church, given the complications that necessarily arise?
Boy, that would have been a helpful discussion I think we all would be eager to hear, Hall stated. But we didnt get that.
Hernandez also expressed concern about the response, stating that the issues were important for the Body of Christ to discuss.
It is imperative that Christian liberty should always be exercised with a true affinity for God alone as Lord of our conscience, he said in a statement to Christian News Network. The fruition of Christian liberty is humility, discernment, reverence, sober-mindedness, and a vehement love for others that will not allow them to stumble because of our practices, and nothing that will bring reproach upon the bride of Christ.
Young men and women need mature examples that will teach them biblical maturity, reverence and purity that will guide them to perfecting holiness in fear of God, and not leaders that deflect the underlying issues of Christian liberty by categorically decrying everyone who disagrees with them as being judgmental, slanderers, liars, bigots, and Pharisees, he said.
Pastor Justin Pierce of Grace Life Church Tri-Cities in Blountville, Tennessee likewise wrote on the subject as he talked about what he called the golden calf of Christian liberty.
[L]iberty is to be set aside to responsibility, he wrote. That is where we desire to stand, as Reformed brothers and sisters who desire to display modesty before the world, and would ask James White, Jeff Durbin and Apologia to respect that stand enough to agree that broadcasting their freedom across the airwaves causes many of their beloved brothers and sisters in Christ to be uncomfortable and offended.
[W]e would like to see biblical liberty in modesty and modesty in self-control and self-control in unity, to the glory of God, Pierce said.
Jeff Durbin, along with Luke Pierson, the discipleship pastor at Apologia, told Christian News Network that leadership is unable to respond to the matter until later this month due to their full schedule.
Among the variety of news reports presented, Christian News Network has covered a number of unconventional activities in congregations worldwide, such as the Colorado Bible study group that smokes marijuana over the Scriptures, the female pastor who hands out cigarettes and condoms on the street, and the U.K. assembly whose signs quote from secular rapper Kanye West, Winnie the Pooh, Winston Churchill, Gandhi and Spongebob Squarepants because the Bible puts people off.

Apologist James White Draws Concerns After Holding, Defending Interfaith Dialogue at Church With Muslim Imam
A well-known Reformed apologist, elder and professional debater is drawing concerns after presenting, and continuing to defend, an interfaith dialogue event at a Mississippi church with a Muslim imam, which he says was meant to help Christians and Muslims engage in conversation and to get along without compromise.
Some objectors, while noting that they support dialoguing with and evangelizing Muslims, do not believe that it was proper to give an unconverted Muslim any type of platform during a special event hosted at a church, and feel that many of the imams statements should not have gone unchallenged.
Im totally in favor of having an accurate view of what they believe, Andy Woods, the senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church in Texas and president of Chafer Theological Seminary in New Mexico, told Christian News Network. Working out our differences and sitting down and making sure we understand each other is one thing, but giving someone a platform at a church is a different matter.
James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries, and Dr. Yasir Qadhi, the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute, appeared at Grace Bible Church in Olive Branch, Mississippi on Jan. 24 for an unmoderated interfaith discussion called Christians and Muslims: Agreements and Differences.
The ticketed Tuesday night event was recorded and posted to YouTube.
I think the greatest barrier for Christians in reaching out to the Muslim people is fear, White explained during the discussion. We have fear in our hearts. Its based upon ignorance. Its based upon other things. Thats one of the reasons I wanted to do this.
What would it mean if the Muslim people in your neighborhood knew that you loved them, cared about them and prayed for them, and were willing to do anything for them? he asked. It would change everything. But unfortunately, thats not generally how they view us.
Qadhi said that he believes some Christians view Muslims with mistrust and hatred, and he doesnt think that it should be that way. He said he desires for Christians and Muslims to treat each other with mutual compassion while acknowledging their disagreements.
At the beginning of the event, White said that Qadhi has been a primary influence in his studies on the Islamic religion and said that he sense[d] in him such a kindred spirit on the other side of the chasm that divides us in regard to our theology and our beliefs.
He said that he has listened to Qadhis material in seeking to understand Islamic beliefs, and at one point, asked Qadhi to critique his presentation on Islam to ensure it accurately represents the Muslim religion.
While also noting that the two disagree on matters of faith, White stressed that the event was not a debate, but rather a dialogue. Therefore, the two-hour discussion was spent mostly discussing and gaining and understanding of Muslim practices and beliefs, at times being contrasted with the Christian perspective.
Topics included explaining the two sects of Islam, the belief that the Koran is the word of God, the Muslim view that Jesus was a prophet and not divine, nor was He ever crucified.
Muslims are looking forward to Jesus return because when Jesus comes back, we believe His soldiers and His army will be Muslims, Qadhi also explained to those gathered. We also believeand this is in the Hadith or the Sunna of the prophetthat every true Christian will then recognize that they were incorrect [about] the Trinity and then follow Jesus as well.
During the second hour of the event, Qadhi outlined that Muslims never judge whether or not someone is bound for Heaven or Hell and that they dont even speak with certainty about themselves. White then noted how Christian belief differs from this point of view.
From the Christian perspective, the only reason that I can have peace with God or confidence of entering into His presence is because Im in possession of the righteousness of Jesus Christ given to me, he explained.
White and Qadhi at the Memphis Islamic Center
We dont view ourselves as a group that is somehow better than anybody else. We believe that a Christian is a person who has fled to God for His mercy and recognize that He (Jesus) is the only one that God has given to where His righteous is perfect in Gods sight and thats why I can have peace with Him, White said.
This is one of the fundamental differences. Well have to agree to disagree from our perspective, Qadhi replied. Its an element of arrogance to say I am going to Heaven and Im certain about it. Rather [we say], I am very hopeful. I am very optimistic.'
White also explained during the event that he believes it is permissible to have relationships with Muslims as long as they understand his beliefs and his desire for them to be saved. He said that he prays for Qadhi and that he wants him to bow the knee to Christ, and Qadhi acknowledged that he, conversely, desires for White to embrace Islam.
Qadhi said that even if both sides believe the other is on the path to Hell, Christians and Muslims should still come together despite their differences to fight societys ills.
Do we have to make this world a living Hell because of that? Thats the question. Let God judge on Judgment Day, Qadhi said. Cant we be good neighbors together? Cant we work together for better schools, to minimize crime, to fight against pornography and drugs, to affirm family values?
Why must we hate one another in a civil society where coming together will bring about so much potential good? he asked. Why cant we look at what we have in common even as we understand and appreciate and are honest about our differences?
The following day, White spoke at the Memphis Islamic Center, where similar dialogue about the Muslim and Christian faiths took place, with Whitewhile complimenting Qadhis expertise and influence on his studiesexplaining concepts such as the Trinity, original sin and the imputation of righteousness through Christ.
Several weeks ago, Brannon Howse, host of Worldview Weekend, discovered the footage of the event and expressed concern that an Islamic imam was brought into a church for dialogue. Howse regularly speaks and writes about Muslim issues and terrorism both on his radio broadcast and website, in addition to discussing various false doctrines in the Church.
Preach the gospel, but do not give them a platform to deceive the American people, and most importantly, the Church, he said in a broadcast on June 11, which featured guests Usama Dakdok, an Egyptian-born Christian who had been schooled in Islam as a youth, and Sharam Hadian, a former Muslim turned pastor.
Howse pointed to 2 John 1:9-11, which he said would admonish White not to give [Qadhi] a greeting of spiritual solidarity, [or] say youre kindred spirits, [or] say youre seeking common ground. He said that White should apologize and express regret for holding the event at a church.
Were calling you to repent. Humble yourself, Howse declared. I believe [there is] damage youre doing to Muslims, to non-believers, to Christians, to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Hadian also expressed concern about those that Qadhi is associated with, including controversial Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj, who is considered to be a jihadist. Qadhi has also appeared at events with Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers of the Washington Womens March, who expressed her hope earlier this month that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad.
When he says, We have kindred spirits, Hes my mentor, Youve taught me much, Im learning from you, youre endorsing someone who is denying Christ and is operating by the anti-Christ spirit, Hadian contended.
Gregory Williams, pastor of The Cross Church in the Washington, D.C. metro area, also took to social media to express his objection to Whites interfaith dialogue, writing in part:
Any Christian that supports James White having an interfaith dialogue with a Muslim in the church show that they cannot be trusted with protecting the flock or the gospel. They, along with James White, show that they do not take seriously the evil of false religions. They believe you can bring satanic false religions into body of Christ and have a dialogue about getting along. This is ridiculous. It clearly contradicts biblical teaching.
Williams additionally posted 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 as an admonition, which reads in part, What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
White has repeatedly defended the event as contention over the matter continues to stir, stating that there was nothing unbiblical or compromising about his actions. In responding to Williams, he contended that 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 does not apply to dialoguing with and witnessing to Muslims.
If discussing differences in beliefs means we are unequally yoked, then all witnessing encounters would fall under this condemnation, would they not? White asked. Was Paul unequally yoked with the philosophers and religious men on Mars Hill? With his unbelieving opponents in the synagogue? How about in business? If Paul had to buy animal hides from unbelievers to make his tents, was he unequally yoked?'
Clearly, the only way to interpret Pauls words has to do with specifically religious and spiritual activities where there is a need for *commonality of faith* to accomplish the ends, such as, for example, evangelism, church planting, etc., he said.
White posited that his critics overlook that the event, while at a church, was held on a weekday outside of regular service hours, and was a ticketed event only for those interested.
It fits the meme better for people to assume it was a Sunday morning service and an Imam was invited to preach the sermon, he said.
Williams responded by stating that White had made the wrong assumption that he and others believed the event was held during the Sunday service, and that it makes no difference regarding what time it was held or on what day.
He also noted that he was not arguing that Christians cannot engage [with] Muslims nor was he asserting that it is wrong for Christians to interact in general or worldly affairs with Muslims or unbelievers, but rather referring only to bringing false religions into the church. Williams said that Whites example of Pauls visit to Mars Hill was faulty.
No, Paul was not unequally yoked with the philosophers and religious men on Mars Hill; neither did the Apostle Paul reach out to a church and ask them to give a satanic religion and its representative a platform in their place of worship in the front of believers and unbelievers, Williams wrote.
White additionally directly addressed Howse, claiming that Howses ignorance is being used by a powerful group with a political and financial agenda that seeks to stop such dialogue.
There are people in our society today that are very intent on building huge walls between Christians and Muslims, making sure we do not have any conversations with one another. That, of course, ends any meaningful evangelism, White said. As Christians, we should be people who are laying down our lives to reach the lost, including those from false religious systems.
He additionally refuted Howses interpretation of 2 John 1:9-11 in a blog post, writing, [T]his passage teaches us to examine the doctrine of Christian teachers and to not give a basis for operation in our communities for those who are not orthodox in their teaching. Likewise, we can see the text has nothing at all to do with doing debates, outreaches, or even dialogues with those of other religious faiths.
Attempting to apply this text to non-compromising outreaches, interactions, debates, etc., is clearly a misuse of the passage in its original context, White contended.
Howse has responded with a number of social media and blog posts, denying that there are any forces behind him in coming forward with his concerns, and that reaching out to Qadhi to help Christians understand Islam is like asking Glenn Beck to make a video for Christians to better understand Mormonism.
Publicly apologize and repent for your interfaith dialogue with Yasir and for saying you sense a kindred spirit with him, giving a platform for his antichrist religion, and asking him to make a video from which Christians can learn about Islam, he wrote on July 12.
Qadhi himself has also posted online about the matter in defense of White, who he said has been the target of severe online character assassination and smear campaigns for hosting a Muslim at a church.
I cannot deny that one of the reasons any Muslim would talk about Islam in front of a non-Muslim audience is to demonstrate the beauty of Islam, and hope that some amongst them find in it the true message that Jesus himself preached, he wrote in part. And I know full well that Mr. Whites intentions, which he has expressed explicitly, was to hope that some Muslims convert as they listen to him explain Christianity.
I would be happy if any Christian who listened to my lecture converted, Qadhi also acknowledged. But if they choose not to convert, thats their business to decide, and Allahs to judge. It is not my duty to do anything more than speak.
Others also came to Whites defense, including Charismatic columnist Dr. Michael Brown and host of The Line of Fire, who is a friend of Whites and is sometimes questioned by Christians for his ties to Benny Hinn and those in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Brown opined that the dialogue helped to educate Christians so that they can knowledgeably witness to Muslims, now knowing what they believe.
It appears, that Whites unforgivable sin was that he chose Dr. Yasir Qadhi as his partner in dialogue, since Qadhi is a very conservative Muslim. But isnt that the one you want to talk with? Dont we want to hear things out of the horses mouth? Brown asked in an article entitled Why the Hysterical Attack on James White for His Interfaith Dialogue?
Thats called getting accurate information out, he said, and as someone who has also studied Islam, even in the primary sources in Arabic, I can assure you that Qadhi accurately represented the beliefs of many millions of Muslims.
houldnt we try to engage such people with the good news? Brown inquired. And shouldnt we do our best to understand what they actually believe? Arent there enough misconceptions floating around already? Why not get clarity, especially from the lips of a Muslim leader?
But some believe that instead of utilizing a Muslim sheikh to help Christians understand the Islamic faith, White could have selected a number of former Muslims now serving Christ to share the same information, but from a biblical worldview.
If you really wanted to educate [Christians] about Islam, the person who you bring in is not someone who is a believer in an anti-Christ theology, Andy Woods, the senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church in Texas and president of Chafer Theological Seminary in New Mexico, told Christian News Network. We would never bring in a Mormon or a Jehovahs Witness to teach Christians about Mormonism and Jehovahs Witnesses; you bring in an ex-Mormon and an ex-Jehovahs Witness who can analyze the system through the lens of truth.
So, I can think of a lot of really good people he could have brought in to educate the Christian public who are former Muslims that are now born-again Christians, but thats not what hes doing, Wood opined. Hes bringing in someone who is actually still an adherent of the anti-Christ theology.
He said that hosting the event outside of regular service times as a separate ticketed event did not ameliorate the matter. He also disagreed with Whites citation of Mars Hill as being an example of why the interfaith dialogue was Scripturally permissible, and said that it was rather a comparison of apples to oranges.
First of all, Paul is outside the walls of the church on his missionary journeys. [And] he doesnt give them an opportunity to preach in his planted churches, Wood said. Hes out there where they are, and how does he end that presentation on Mars Hill? He ends it with a testimony about Jesus Christ, His resurrection from the dead, [that] Hes coming back to judge the living and dead, and Paul says in Acts 17, [God] commands all men everywhere to repent.
So, he doesnt say, Im a kindred spirit with you, or Youre my mentor, he calls them out of their false belief system into the truth, he explained. And obviously, Paul on Mars Hill is not giving them equal time within a church.
As the debate over the matter continueseven weeks later, others have also entered the discussion, including radio host Janet Mefferd, Christian musician turned pastor Steve Camp, and an elder of John McArthurs Grace Community Church.
We would not sanction a public dialogue with a Muslim imam, or any other person with an agenda to teach false religion, at Grace Community Church, Grace Community Church Elder Chris Hamilton wrote in a response to an inquiry from Howse. But neither are we sympathetic to the lynch-mob mentality that seems determined to use a disagreement such as this to discredit years of faithful ministry by Dr. White.
Howse says he rather believes that some Christians are wrongfully considering certain leaders as being off-limits for discussion or criticism, no matter the error, and finds it hypocritical that some will denounce Rick Warrens bridge-building with Muslims while rebuking those who express concerns about Whites interfaith dialogue.
White has engaged in debates with Muslims in the past, but explained this time that while Qadhi did not desire to debate, he was willing to have a dialogue about the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity.

Nick Compton awestruck at Cook show
Kolkata - Having watched Alastair Cook write his name into English cricketing folklore from the other end on day two of the Eden Gardens cricket Test against India, opener Nick Compton cannot stop admiring his captain.
Cook struck a masterly unbeaten 136, on way to becoming the youngest batsman in world cricket to complete 7,000 runs at 27 years and 347 days, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved the mark when he was 28 years and 193 days old. The day also saw Cook emerge England's highest century maker by cracking his 23rd Test hundred.
"It was quite a moment. It speaks volume about his abilities,' said Compton, who was involved in a 167-run opening wicket partnership with Cook that consolidated England's grip over the game.
"He is so clinical, makes very few mistakes. He does it time and time again and for longer periods, that's the sign of a very serious player," the 29-year-old Compton said after the day's play.
"He is very clear and seems to know what he is doing, what he must do, very unflappable. Having a partner so chilled out at the other does help you. He is so solid. It gives the other guys so much confidence. You know he is not going to give up.
"He is very clear in his game plan and very positive. He has taken his game to the next level which is clearly reflected by the six he hit," said the six feet two inches South Africa born player.
No doubt the right-hander enjoyed his time in the middle with his skipper.
"Cook is tough and unflappable. We have a very good bonding even though we don't say much things in the middle. A look there…a little nod. I really enjoyed my time at the middle with him."
It was also a good day for Compton as he notched up his maiden fifty in his third Test match. But the grandson of the legendary English cricketer Denis Compton was disappointed at not being able to score big.
"I am starting my career and wanted to give myself an opportunity. I have done that in patches but haven't managed a big score. Though I missed out again I am happy for my maiden fifty."
Expressing satisfaction at his team's performance, Compton said the visitors will take each session as it comes and try to build on the score.

DiStefano Winery gives Woodinville a dining option
- Written by Deborah Stone
This summer, the longtime local winery entered the dining arena, offering casual meals and family style culinary dinners. Although the winery had been doing special events for a number of years, outside caterers had always provided the food.
"It was as a direct response to these events that we decided to build a kitchen and expand our dining area, which we call the Cellar Room," explains Jaci Kajfas, DiStefano's event coordinator. "Now, we can seat 40 people for an intimate sit-down dinner in the Cellar Room, as well as offer casual food options in our tasting room or out on our deck when the weather is nice."
During regular hours in the tasting room, the emphasis is on bistro style, with offerings that include small artisan plates consisting of local cheeses, charcuterie, house marinated olives, fig jam, bruschetta and Macrina baguettes, along with Muffuletta or New Orleans style sandwiches and assorted salads.
Delectable dinners, "culinary delights that tantalize the imagination," as DiStefano owner Mark Newton describes them, take center stage in the Cellar Room on various weekend evenings.
They feature fresh local cuisine accompanied by the winery's high quality, award-winning wines.
An open kitchen design allows diners the ability to watch Executive Chef George Stevenson in action, as he whips up such specialties as hazelnut crusted hanger steak with potato-leek gratin Brussels sprouts or Coq au Vin, traditional French Chicken and red wine stew. "The dinners are usually built around themes," says Kajfas. "Chef Stevenson has a great background in a variety of cuisines. He's very talented and creative and we're fortunate to have him heading up our kitchen."
Stevenson is a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute and The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
He grew up in the South, as well as spent time in Belgium and Germany, giving him an international upbringing which has greatly influenced his culinary style.
Stevenson sharpened his skills working in award-winning restaurants, including Fuller's in Seattle and The Sunset Grill in Nashville. He also served as chef for Lowell-Hunt Catering and banquet chef of Willows Lodge in Woodinville.
Some of the events Chef Stevenson does at DiStefano Winery focus on culinary demonstrations. An upcoming session is all about Spanish Tapas.
Another one emphasizes cooking with wine.
In the past, he has also taught knife skills to guests, instructing them on the different types of knives, how to select the right one and the proper way to use a knife in the deboning process.
Once a quarter, the winery holds cigar dinners, which include a five course dinner where each course is paired with a cigar and wine.
"These usually sell out," comments Kajfas. "They've gotten to be very popular, and yes, with women as well as men."
The response to the added component of food at the winery has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Kajfas.
She notes that people appreciate having fresh and tasty food options available while they sample and taste the wines.
"It's just a nice addition and something that not many wineries offer, mainly because they don't have a kitchen," she adds.
DiStefano plans to continue to slowly grow the food side of the business and do more catering and special event dinners in the future.
"We're thrilled that our special events have been so well-received," says Kajfas. "We've done minimal marketing, so it's really been a lot of word-of-mouth among people who know the winery. They come to one and then tell their friends and the interest just builds. It's an exciting time for us."
For more information about DiStefano Winery's upcoming special event dinners, private events and catering services: (425) 487-1648 or www.distefanowinery.com.

This proposal by Chris Doray Studio Inc, entered as a wild card into the reCONNECT Vancouver Competition, aims to diminish the mental divide between the west end and the east side of the city. It will provide badly-needed recreational facilities in this part of the city and return some 'authentic life' to the easterners, with eight kilometres of shoreline amenities and a sandy beach in a 90 ha park. It also includes an ecological plan that converts ocean and grey waters using 12ha of reed-bed natural reserve to purify the water.
A simple formula and sleek design means water becomes a focus in this proposal. Water is a precious commodity, a vital resource - we are dependent on water but also endangered by it. With rising water levels and the increasingly heavy inland rains urban living faces new challenges. The designers at Chris Doray Studio felt that it is essential to integrate water dynamically in living space, wherever and however it may occur.
The challenge is combining striking design with sustainable water management in usable urban spaces. Another bold aspect to this new 'Urban-Pluralism' is mapping the intangible through the act of annulment and reconstituting this disordered east side through the introduction of three new geometries: a 40ha Aquatic Landscape - Water Town, Aqua Towers, Reed Bed Natural Reserve, Marina; a 90ha Natural Landscape - Park Residences, Beach; and a 30ha Urban Landscape - Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Vancouver Art Gallery + Residences, VAG Sculpture Garden.
The architects' purpose has been to envision an urban way of living that frees individuals within a community from restricting conventions of thought and action, in order to realise more fully than is presently possible to answer the question, 'What is Human?' Hence adopting a Free-Zone Space: an urban planning approach that aims at inducing the sensory experiences. Both vivid and lucid, each is in a constant state of flux: first in time, then in place and finally in human state.

Howard's double-double lifts Lakers over Nuggets
Los Angeles, CA – Dwight Howard poured in 28 points and ripped down 20 rebounds, as the Los Angeles Lakers pounded the Denver Nuggets, 122-103, on Friday at Staples Center.
Antawn Jamison netted a game-high 33 points on 13-of-19 shooting and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Jodie Meeks hit 7-of-8 from beyond the arc en route to 21 points for the Lakers, who bounced back from a loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.
"It was a total team effort," Meeks said. "I thought I played pretty well, knocked down open shots, and played hard."
Kobe Bryant finished with 14 points and eight assists and Metta World Peace added 10 points as the Lakers hit 17-of-33 from three-point range on the night.
Danilo Gallinari scored a team-high 19 points, and Andre Iguodala added 14 points for the Nuggets, who have lost three straight on the heels of a four- game winning streak. Jordan Hamilton contributed 13 points in the loss.
"They made some tough shots, but they had a lot of open looks," Nuggets coach George Karl said of the Lakers. "Jamison and Meeks got into a great rhythm early and its tough to shut down guys after they get going."
The game went back and forth early as an alley-oop slam by Kenneth Faried tied things at 16-all with 6:31 on the first-quarter clock. Los Angeles then went on a 14-4 run, capped by a Jamison layup, to open a 30-20 lead with less than three minutes to play in the session.
Denver got the final three points of the quarter, but trailed 34-27 after one stanza. Howard was dominant in the post in the frame, netting 16 points on 7- of-9 shooting with five boards.
Meeks nailed a trio of 3-balls within the first three-plus minutes of the second quarter, helping the Lakers build a 49-37 lead and a hook shot by Pau Gasol gave the home side a 14-point advantage with 6:21 left before the break.
Denver battled back with seven straight points to cut the deficit to 57-50, but the Lakers kept the Nuggets at bay and held a comfortable 71-57 advantage at halftime.
Meeks finished 5-of-6 from beyond the arc in the quarter for 15 points, while Howard missed most of the frame while he received treatment for a laceration on his eyelid.
A floater by Faried with 7:06 to go in the third quarter cut the Denver deficit to seven, but a 12-2 run by the Lakers gave the home team a 90-73 cushion. Jamison capped the frame with a layup with 0.1 on the clock as the Lakers led 97-82 heading into the final 12 minutes.
Denver never got close in the fourth quarter as a Jamison triple with 6:51 to go gave the Lakers their largest lead of the night at 113-92.
Howard capped the evening with his second career 3-point field goal with 9.8 on the clock. Prior to that make, Howard had been 1-for-33 on 3-point attempts.
Game Notes
