Jimmy Akin DESTROYS James White | Last Call Ep. 32
Summary
Jimmy Akin joins Matt Fred to analyze four James White clips, arguing that White misrepresents Catholic theology by conflating Calvinist views with the gospel. Akin critiques White’s claims on the Mass, the "blessed man" of Romans 4, and the Apocrypha, noting that White relies on outdated scholarship and ignores non-Calvinist Protestant perspectives. The discussion highlights how White’s focus on the perseverance of the saints distorts the biblical definition of the gospel and peace with God.
