The local Lynchburg paper called to get a comment on the action of Liberty in not renewing Ergun Caner’s contract as Dean of the seminary, but in extending a one-year teaching contract to him. The reporter indicated that he is not expecting further details from Liberty. He asked questions, such as who was on the committee, etc., but they declined

This was just reported by the News and Advance out of Lynchburg: Liberty University announced today that Ergun Caner will no longer be dean of the university’s Baptist Theological Seminary. After an investigation conducted by four members of Liberty’s Board of Trustees, the university said it found that Caner has made “factual statements that are self-contradictory” concerning “dates, names and

I really dislike dishonest men, so when I was directed to the accusation, posted by a critic who has a long track record of incredible prejudice and bigotry, accusing us of “withholding” videos from debates, I was properly incensed. Why do these people insist upon personal attack before doing the first bit of research? Of course, this isn’t a “Muslim”

Waiting for my flight home here at the airport in Detroit. I was referred to this blog article by a student at Liberty. I noted the following: Within the first 20 minutes of class Ergun is chatting about the accusations against him, but made it clear that he isn’t worrying about the issue or looking in to it…yet…well never mind.

Just a reminder I will be back on “Jesus or Muhammad” live tonight at 8:30pm EDT. Last night’s program has been posted here. Once I get the embedding commands straightened out, I will post it here as well. Tomorrow night I will start the audio live feed from the debate as early as I can, hopefully no later than 6pm

Before my first word about Ergun Caner’s deceptive statements, my teaching history was documented and well known. There was no question about it, no mystery, no controversy. In fact, I learned recently I have a former student teaching at Liberty (don’t worry, I still like this person, so I won’t name him). I began teaching Greek for Golden Gate’s brand

Gene Clyatt, who for some odd reason has a fascination with small furry rodents with large fluffy tails, just tweeted an important development in the Caner Scandal: the story has been picked up and published in the Tehran Times. Here is the story. The English is rough, as one might expect, but it is a fairly wide-ranging summary of the

I just saw the most absurd (not offensive, just absurd) argument in the Caner situation I’ve ever seen. Someone (I haven’t even bothered keeping up with this guy) was arguing that my Arabic tutor, Issam, missed a portion of Surah Al Fatiha in our video, and hence we should be exposed! He begins with the absurd accusation that he’s downloaded

A number of times I have been asked to narrate what “started” my involvement in the exposure of Ergun Caner’s plethora of mythical promotional claims. Which is why there is a picture of a huge, yummy, massively unhealthy white chocolate peanut butter tub (that’s too big to be a “cup”) over there to the right. Here’s the story (and note,

I had known about this for a while, but was waiting for the posting of this information. When you are telling the gullible, excitable Christians one thing on Sunday morning from behind the pulpit, and yet you tell the Turkish reporter (who can tell whether you speak Turkish or Arabic and check out your claims to have been raised in
