Editing James White

{{Critical Text Onlyists}}
'''James R. White''' (born [[1962]]) is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, an [[evangelicalism|evangelical]] [[Calvinism|Reformed]] [[Christian]] [[apologetics]] organization based in [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. He is the [[author]] of more than twenty books, a [[professor]], a [[debater]], and an [[Elder (Christianity)|elder]] of the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church. Unfortunately James White is strongly opposed to the infallibility of the Greek [[Textus Receptus]] and the Hebrew [[Masoretic Text]] and rejects the [[King James Version]] as a corrupted translation. White casts doubt upon 237 verses of scripture. White does not believe any bible or any text in any language is at present the complete, inerrant, and 100% true Holy Bible, but believes that through searching for more manuscripts, people are getting closer to that goal. White is now a consultant for the [[NASB]] committee.

==Biography==
[[Image:James White.jpg|200px|thumb|right|James White]]
White received a [[B.A.]] from [[Grand Canyon University|Grand Canyon College]], an [[Master of Arts (postgraduate)|M.A.]] from [[Fuller Theological Seminary]], and a [[Th.M.]], a [[Th.D.]] and a [[D.Min.]] from the unaccredited Columbia Evangelical Seminary (formerly Faraston Seminary). He is a professor of [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[systematic theology]], and various apologetics topics and is a critical consultant for the [[Lockman Foundation]]'s [[New American Standard Bible]].

White is an avid debater, having participated in over sixty moderated debates since [[1990]], covering topics such as [[Calvinism]], [[Roman Catholicism]], [[Islam]], [[Mormonism]], and [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]. His debate opponents have included scholars such as [[John Dominic Crossan]] and [[Marcus Borg]] and popularizers such as [[John Shelby Spong]].

He also contributes to a theological [[weblog]] and a semi-weekly internet radio broadcast called ''The Dividing Line'', on which he answers call-in questions from listeners. Some of his most noted works have discussed topics such as the [[King-James-Only Movement]] and the debate between [[Calvinism]] and [[Arminianism]]. His books have elicited further response from those he criticizes.

He is an elder of the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church, has been married to his wife Kelli for more than twenty-two years, and has two children, Joshua and Summer.

Some attention has been given to the public conversion of White's sister Patty Patrick Bonds to the [[Roman Catholic Church]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KHgLzu_nbw ]

==Quotes==
:“A person who reads the New Testament as found in Codex Sinaiticus and applies sound exegetical methods to its text will come to the very same conclusions as anyone reading a Byzantine manuscript written a thousand years later.” – James White. (KJV-Only Controversy, p. 74)
