If interested Dr. White has a verse by verse teaching through Romans 9 available for free download on his website http://www.aomin.org
It’s in the middle column. Also, I can tell you right now that one of the things Dr. White always says is that Arminians cannot go through John 6 verse by verse. He says they always have to jump off to other verses (i.e. Jn 12). He speaks much of the exegesis of the text and one of his biggest criticisms of Arminians is that they don’t do solid contextual exegesis. Though Arminian, for the most part I agree with him. There are of course exceptions to this: I. Howard Marshall, Grant Osborne, and Ben Witherington III to name a few. He spends a lot of time on the Greek usually so you should probably be ready for that. Lately on his radio show he’s been speaking much of the Greek of Jn 3:16 having a delimiter. In all what I’m trying to say is that I encourage you to take the time to prepare for the discussion / debate.

Thanks! I’ll listen with interest.

Below is a link where James White recently debated Roger and Faith Forster about predestination. Roger is co-author of the book “God’s Strategy in Human History”.

Go to “listen on demand” and the August 1, 2009 episode “Calvinism & Predestination”. August 8th also has them debating.

Three things I notice about White – First he will speak until cut off (by either the host or the Forsters). Second is that he incorrectly imputes positions to his opponents that they obviously wouldn’t agree with. Mrs Forster was pretty capable and called him on this a few of times. The third is that he is a machine gun debater – he can cover an amazing number of points in a limited amount of time. This has a tendency to overwhelm his opponents.

Anyway, that will give you an idea of what you will be in for Dr. Brown. If you do debate him, it would be well to do it on your show (he cuts off guests on his) and also set time rules (like each person has a turn for 5 minutes or something like that).

Here’s another debate series he did with a non-Calvinist guy named Steve Gregg. It is a bit longer and ran for five days. They did the time rule thing, which was helpful for Gregg I think, although White still won the debate (in my opinion). It is here http://www.thenarrowpath.com/apr08_archive.html (April 3,4,7,8,9)

You should revive the good ol days when you set the debate demonstation with Bob Gladstone. Have Bob or Steve Alt on the radio as you debate them from the calvinistic view.

I agree there are calvinists who paint a false picture of Arminians which leads to straw man arguments.

Calvinists view on predestination says, “God’s predestining decision is based on the knowledge of His own will rather than foreknowledge.”

Single predistination view says, “Those God saves have been predestined from eternity in Christ. Those who are condemned are condemned because of their fallen will.”

Question for those who support single predestination: If God predestines those to be saved based on His own will, how could he not predestines those not to be saved? It wouldnt make sense to say God determined who would be saved but doesnt determine who would not be saved.
