James White DOESN'T UNDERSTAND 'Peace' with God

When discussing the subject of peace with God, James White uses the term "peace" in a way nobody uses it in real life.

It's part of a debater's tactic on his part, but Jimmy explains just how bizarre White's use of the term actually is.

[TheMOV]

James White wakes up sweating from nightmares where he is being chased down an endless corridor, by a fearsome white monster with a hat, repeatedly saying “Howdy folks!”

[HAL-sumz]

From my experience listening to James White, I am firmly convinced that his arguments absolutely destroy....
James White.

James White is proof that you can hear the truth over and over but until you really seek to understand it, to allow it to change you, not allow yourself to change it, not only will you not know God, you will not have peace.

I love how a lay Catholic can destroy James white and Bart erhman in debates so nonchalantly

This is just a reminder that #JamesWhiteMadeMeCatholic

[IsaiahINRI]

"How can you know you will not commit a mortal sin before you go to bed?" By the very definition of a mortal sin. I swear the vast majority of arguments against Catholicism would be solved if Prots, Orthodox, and non-Christians alike would actually research the concepts they criticize before they criticize them.

The thing I don't get is that James White can't know for sure whether he is at peace with God, right? *If* he's one of the elect, then yes, he's at peace with God, but how does he know that? At least as a Catholic, I can look at whether or not I have committed any unforgiven mortal sins to gauge whether I am in a state of grace. It would seem like James White can only, at best, hope he's at peace with God.

It’s funny how James White’s arguments against Catholicism is to apply impossible, unfair, unnatural, and unreasonable standards to it, while pretending that his point of view or position meets all of those requirements. Kinda like sola scriptura.

[christsservant]

White’s argument backfires on him. He’s a Calvinist, so he believes in the doctrine of eternal security. But under his view, he doesn’t have assurance that he was saved in the past because it can turn out later that he was never saved in the first place. Many people who truly thought they were saved later left the faith and thus, according to White’s view, were never saved in the first place. So, according to his own logic, he himself can’t have peace with God.

[Irishman]

So Mr white believes one can sin all they want and it doesn't affects one relationship with the Almighty ? Hmmm ..

[champagne.future]

It’s amazing how much Catholic content James has generated over the years 😂. Truly an example of God’s providence taking advantage of human mistakes

[timrichardson]

The concept of mortal versus venial sin was a hard one for me before converting. But i soon realized i already believed it, just not in such precise terms. I already understood thst there is a fundamental difference between struggling with things out of weakness, immaturity, ignorance, habit, etc and willfully turning my back on God to indulge in sin. I already understood that the latter could cost me my salvation, especially if persistent.

Jimmy your such a blessing thank for all the great work you do by gods grace 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[armoredplacoderm]

There aren't any categories of sin. They are all damning. Every last one.

[rickfilmmaker]

James White's reasoning is all over the map, his thinking is much like "pot luck".

[PatrickInCayman]

James White is one of the best and most convincing Catholic Apologist out there.

[ArchetypeGotoh]

White is, in ever video i see of him, an angry man. That he misunderstands peace, let alone “peace with God”, is not surprising.

Jimmy Akin with the mic drop response 🎤👋🏼

[shanahendricks]

This guy has his own religion at this point

[RedRoosterRoman]

Whoopsies! I *accidentally* went home and commited a grave sin with full consent of the intellect and will !
(and without perfect contrition)

One could just say; hey James how do you know you won't go home and lose your faith?

Every Christian knows what it's like when the doubts come!
