Mmmmm....FYI, White holds a real Doctorate degree.:type:
Oh he does? A real doctorate degree from Farstadt that had to change their name to Columbia Evangelical Seminary because of the bad publicity about it being a diploma mill. It is still an "online distance" school.
Most apologists have a PhD since apologetics deals with quite a bit of philosophical debates with other world views. James does NOT have a PhD. There is also a lot of controversy surrounding his teaching history at Golden State Baptist College to which White has YET to answer.

"On the other hand, if James White answers “no” to the question, “does James White presently teach Greek, Hebrew, and theology at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary?” then some follow-up questions are necessary, because there exists confusion surrounding James White’s status with Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary if he does not presently teach for the seminary.
Allow me to list a few of them:
James White’s bio page does not list him presently teaching at Golden Gate. Why? Is it because he is not presently teaching at Golden Gate and is not "scheduled" to teach at Golden Gate? Or did White just forget to update his present teaching status on his bio page? It could be the latter; however, given White's past record of making sure people know what he is teaching and where he is teaching, it is hard to believe his page is not current.
Golden Gate’s list of adjunct professors does not list him as teaching for Golden Gate. Why? Presumably all other adjunct faculty is listed on their adjunct faculty page. If James White is not present adjunct faculty, it stands to reason why he is not listed. However, the seminary may not have its page current. There is a problem asserting the latter, however (see immediately following)
Seminary officials affirm that James White does not presently teach at Golden Gate.** But if the seminary states James White does not presently teach at GGBTS, then the question of the adjunct professor page not being current is settled
Seminary officials have stated James White will not be offered another contract to teach adjunctly for the seminary. If this is so, then it follows that the list does not contain White's name for obvious reasons
The Golden Gate seminary president is on record stating there were no plans for James White to be "under contract" as adjunct faculty at Golden Gate. But if the president states no plans exist for James White to be issued another contract, how can one presume a contract may yet be issued when the president has not stated plans exist that James White is now being considered as a candidate for a contract to teach as adjunct instructor?
James White undoubtedly knows Golden Gate's plans to not use him in the future since he asked them about it in June 2010. James White said several months ago he had "written to [his] immediate superiors at GGBTS to ask about this" but unfortunately he apparently refuses to inform his supporters what his superiors told him--at least publicly. Surely, they told him something. What did they say, James? Why do you not have a contract presently? Did they offer you a contract but you could not fulfill it? Or, did they inform you not to look for another contract from them? I think your supporters have a right to this information, especially since you continue to publicly state you presently are adjunct professor at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. What do you think, James?
Hence, the fact remains, James White continues to allow the reading public to get the impression he presently teaches Hebrew, Greek, and theology for Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary:
James White allowed a Christianity Today article to imply he presently (i.e. June 2010) served as a Golden Gate professor teaching Islam
James White allows his main publisher, Bethany House, to continue to suggest he presently teaches at Golden Gate
James White puts on the profile page of the unaccredited seminary (CES) where he presently teaches that he also presently teaches at Golden Gate***
James White’s supporters put on their podcast page that White presently teaches at Golden Gate****
The confusion seems obvious: why would James White continue to allow the public to get the impression he presently teaches at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary when he does not do so?
We are convinced this is a question James White could answer without my calling his Dividing Line program.
With that, I am…
