Hey:
The problem with calling him on his radio show is the limited time allowed on an issue that requires a lot of information. His radio show is also set up in a way so as to make him look good - this is typical of any call-in radio show, like, for example, Rush Limbaugh. Also, Dr. White is practiced on the Radio where such would be my first time. Being uncomfortable in such a situation would be a detriment to the argument.
Why will Dr. White not appear here on the Puritanboard? I have invited him to do so about a year or so ago. Putting things in writing is a more sure record of his thoughts. It is apparent that he uses logical fallacies in order to promote his views. Such fallacies would be clearer, and easier for me to point out, if he wrote them down rather than in a debate or radio show.
Iconoclast:
"Seeming zeal for truth"? Where do you get that from? Are you accusing me of insincerity? That is an amazing statement from a guy who never met me. One could point out your lack of charity here - could one not?
As for White choosing easy targets - it is obvious from his website. Does he engage in the arguments of Robinson and Pierpont? Does he belittle Dr. Theodore Letis? Especially since Dr. Letis is dead and cannot defend himself? Reading his website over the last three months he has not engaged a godly scholar on the TR, but simply posts articles relating to the KJO fanatics. There is an endless list of errors that Dr. White engages in, but he has poisoned the well with his KJO rhetoric.
It seems to me that a person like Dr. White who lumps all defenders of the Textus Receptus as being KJO fanatics is uncharitable. So, the answer is yes I have seen people present their views as being uncharitable.
Grace and Peace,
