7 - 17 - 17 - Janet - Mefferd - Today - James White by Janet Mefferd Today published on 2017-07-17T12:56:32Z Author and apologist Dr. James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries has come under increasing fire for an interreligious dialogue he did with a Muslim scholar who's been called a hardline hate preacher and has radical ties. Was the gathering biblically defensible? And could such gatherings help the agenda of Islamists in their quest for stealth jihad? Dr. White will join me, and we'll talk about it. Be sure to join us for Monday’s JANET MEFFERD TODAY. Comment by Rick Zman So, we CANNOT preach the gospel unless we are GIVEN the freedom to do so by our government?? Wow! That would have been news to the Apostles and the early Church who preached the gospel for the first 400 years in an environment of hostility! I must say, I think Dr Whites heart is right in this, but I think this statement reveals what your real concern is. And I can tell you, I share your fear, as an American, of losing the freedoms we have in our little country. But you must remember, God sets up kingdoms, and God tears down kingdoms, and our country is due for a fall. We murder thousands of babies daily, we teach our children atheism (secularism), and we do all of this while enjoying the most prosperous lifestyle in the world. Islam could be the judgement of God upon this country, and anyone who believes we aren't deserving, is certainly not a Christian. I think you're attitude toward another brother in Christ has been quite despicable. 2017-07-27T22:21:17Z Comment by Thermalkat It's sad that someone so resistant to truth and correction has her own Christian broadcast. She simply isn't interested in the truth of the matter. She's combative and rude and frankly, incredibly self-righteous. 2017-07-21T20:38:11Z Comment by Thermalkat She comes off as a shrill mouthpiece for the GOP. 2017-07-21T20:34:55Z Comment by Michael Gore This is so sad to listen to, I use to listen to Janet Mefferd all the time. But it really sounds like she's buying into the Islamophobia that seems to be gripping many, and the idea that the solution to Islam is a political one. When the Christian faith is blended together with politics it just corrupts the Gospel. I think that was very apparent when Dr. White said that it's all about the gospel and she disagreed. 2017-07-19T16:53:02Z Comment by markweatherill I suggest that it boils down to this: Dr White's critics find him guilty of 'fraternising with The Enemy' but that ain't the worst! He's also 'interfering with the dehumanising of The Enemy'. 2017-07-19T16:00:24Z Comment by KiRk Jonah didn't want to preach to Nineveh because God would show them mercy for repeating? Am i seeing an exact parallel? Assyrians of Ninevah, dangerous people, haters of the One True God. Yet....God called Jonah to go preach to them. @JanetMefferdtoday ..... 2017-07-19T14:48:03Z Comment by KiRk So we can have Christ's grace and pardoning from sins, but then Dr. White wants to dispense that same grace to Muslims, and were gonna say no to that? Woe unto you! 2017-07-19T14:37:20Z Comment by John Moua Brannon Howse and Janet Mefferd all apart of this weird Christian network... Worldview Weekend. She's just backing up her boys. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/profile/janet-mefferd 2017-07-19T02:13:07Z Comment by Angel Contreras I hope that Scripture references are not dealt with in the same way the quotes from YQ and Mr. White's responses were. Context is not important, only what I bring to the quote matters. sad. 2017-07-18T21:09:05Z Comment by P K We need the Gospel spread through America to be able to continue to proclaim the Gospel to Muslims. Freedom is a byproduct of the permeation of the good news of Jesus Christ. 2017-07-18T14:20:55Z Comment by P K This is what I see. Dr. James trusted God to take the Gospel and apply it to Qadhi's heart and all that will hear the Gospel because of this talk. He was the point of the spear. Janet is still worried about the destruction that Islam threatens with while Dr. James is in the midst of the battle, fighting the good fight of faith. Janet, your brother is fighting and you are complaining about it. 2017-07-18T14:16:33Z Comment by P K Did Christ correct every error when He spoke with people? 2017-07-18T14:07:03Z Comment by P K I believe the difference between Dr. White and those like Janet Mefferd is: Dr. White believes the Gospel of the Glory of Christ will save people even if they secretly want to murder you. Dr. White is fighting with the Gospel, trusting that God will use His power to save Muslims, even if they would like your head severed one day! God loves these people and His Gospel is more powerful then their hatred. 2017-07-18T13:38:00Z Comment by John Moua It's probably better for Dr. James White to never ever have a dialogue again in the presence of folks like Janet and Mr. Simpson, these weak bro/sis could fall out of their "I told Jesus he can save me" faith. So sad for Dr White, given no respect for the good work and evangelism he does to reach non-believers. 2017-07-18T02:58:48Z Comment by J My previous comment got removed, and I'm not sure how. But I would like to reiterate to those who watch this: Janet had a reporter named Jim Simpson on a couple of episodes ago. She was not critical of anything he said. She was not oppositional. She agreed with everything he said, assuming the worst of James White (Jim even falsely said he did the event to make a profit when there was no charge for the tickets). Then she has White on. She constantly cuts him off and says it is because the show is short. However, she is often sermonizing and taking up radio time. She completely fails to give her "friend" a fair hearing. This is very sad. 2017-07-18T01:28:51Z Comment by Paula Coyle Ok at 34:11 you missed HIS entire point which was that Christians are terrorizing Muslims, yes we KNOW Muslims terrorize Christians. That is nothing new. What is new is Christians that terrorize others. Is that OK with you Janet, no matter what others do to them? Is that what Jesus told us to do? Would you not be glad that at least now some Muslims know that not all Christians behave like those others that terrorized them. Oh and then at 34:19... in such a hurry to cut off James and always talking over him "but really I'm not trying to interrupt I'm trying to move you along" as if James is unfamiliar with time limits/public speaking/radio?? Seriously? Then you have 20 seconds of BUMPER MUSIC? How utterly obvious can you be. Anyone who has experienced radio or even taken a broadcasting class knows what you did through this whole interview. Shameful behavior from a Christian lady. 2017-07-18T00:40:24Z Comment by J @five-only: Yeah, I'm glad you could see that even if you sided with Janet. I felt the whole forum was not fair to Dr. White, ESPECIALLY when compared to her interview of the journalist who was accusing Dr. White. But, also, I should say: I agree with Janet too! Obviously, I do not believe we should be letting millions of Muslims into our country through unqualified immigration, and obviously we should correct the errors of Islam. However, that does not mean that we cannot have respectful conversations with Muslims and share the gospel, without correcting them and interjecting at everything they say. Janet seems to believe in a false dilemma, as if we can’t support the kind of discussions that Dr. White is having, and ALSO oppose the spread of Islam in our country. Both can happen at the same time. We can love the people that are already here and dialogue with them, while also opposing Islam on a cultural, political and social level. 2017-07-17T21:25:03Z
