Rev. Jeff Riddle’s interaction with Mr. James White over the Wretched Radio Youtube video. It includes an overview of the life of Dr. Bruce Metzger. The series is also interesting in showing the problem with Mr. White when confronted with his error. In this example his error is over 2 Peter 3:10, 1 John 5:7, and the history of Erasmus. There are 5 parts and after each audio there is a link to the source material.
Jeff Riddle’s Blog WM # 25: Review: Wretched Interview with James White
In this first audio, Rev. Riddle demonstrates Mr. White’s lack of historical knowledge concerning Erasmus and the popular Erasmus myths that Mr. White stubbornly retells. The evidence that these events did not occur has been around since the mid 1980s. They are:
- Erasmus rushed to print
- Erasmus back translated the last 6 verses of Revelation
- Erasmus only added 1 John 5:7 due to a bet
At the Confessing Baptist site James White offers a response and accuses Rev. Riddle of not understanding the issue with 2 Peter 3:10. However, James Snapp Jr. comes along later and shows that it is in fact James White who doesn’t understand the issue with 2 Peter 3:10
In response to Word Magazine 25, Mr. White produced a screen flow video:

Erasmus and the Comma Johanneum by H. J. De Jonge
Rev. Riddle then deals with Mr. White’s overblown claim that one cannot do apologetics if one holds to the traditional text. This is a laughable claim by Mr. White as it ignores all of the apologetic work done by the Reformers, Westminster Divines, Particular Baptists, Puritans, Missionaries, and such men as Dr. Joel Beeke, Rev. John Greer, the Trinitarian Bible Society, and many more.

And from the Dividing Line dealing with the issue as well:
This part of the series inadvertently highlights Mr. White’s poor behavior when shown to be factually wrong. The Stylos post, Rev. Riddle’s blog, quotes Mr. White’s original post to Rev. Riddle, in which Mr. White accuses Rev. Riddle of misunderstanding the textual apparatus. Then it provides James Snapp Jr.’s response showing that it was in fact Mr. White who was wrong. And then has another follow up reply from James Snapp Jr. dealing with Mr. White’s screen flow response to Rev. Riddle and why Mr. White is still in error.

This is the last in this series of interactions with Mr. White and highlights more textual misunderstandings of Mr. White. By this point you realize that Mr. White has a poor grasp of the historical and textual issues.
