The Uber Librarian posted this on her blog last week. It seems fitting to link to it…today. An Uber Librarian poem.
We are docked in Victoria, so I am trying to get some Internet access. We have experienced the longest Internet outtage I’ve ever seen on a ship before, and only got access this morning. But even then, I am unable to establish the kind of access I need to get to my e-mail, so if anyone is writing to me
I’m half tempted to add a new category, “Various Illegal Activities Caught on Video” or something like that. By my estimation our nocturnal visitor probably got himself a handful of glass for very little. I have carefully examined the video now (remotely!), and he was in the offices less than 40 seconds. Our alarm makes a horrid racket. Obviously, you
The Puritans called it a “dark providence.” Far from home, your cell phone rings. It is the alarm company. Yes, again. This man arrived outside our offices around 3:42am. He managed to get through the iron bars on the window, break it, and get in. Of course, that set off the alarm. It was a bit frustrating to log into
As this posts I will be headed to Seattle. Forecast: rain, rain, more rain. I don’t mind a bit. I could use a bit of hydration, to be honest. And it will not get much above 54 the whole week. Again, I’m all for that. Remember, I just survived July and August in Phoenix. If I might speak with my
Started off with a review of Tim Staples from CA Live on the subject of “eternal security” illustrating the difference between God-centered and man-centered reading of the Scriptures. Then we moved back to Shabir Ally’s objections to the concept of atonement.
I have added a new category here on the blog: persecution. We all know that our brothers and sisters are persecuted around the world by repressive regimes, whether they be atheistic/communistic (North Korea, for example), or religious (Islamic, Hindu). But it is no longer any secret at all that secularists want to silence Christians, whether they be of the dogmatic
The majority of today’s program was focused on Shabir Ally’s objections to the atonement. But, I also added a special addition at the end of the program, where I played two songs from one man…a man who is…two men. Mylo Hatzenbuhler we have heard a few times before but, we haven’t before heard his “other side,” the more serious side,
We enter this week upon a period of intense teaching and ministry. I leave this week for Seattle. We will be worshipping at a local Reformed Baptist Church the Lord’s Day morning, and Sunday evening I will be starting the class and conference on the Cross, which will then continue on the Mercury Monday. I am truly looking forward to
We did our best to celebrate the World Premiere of Steve Ray’s DVD (in Troy, Michigan) by playing clips from Steve’s recent CA Live appearance and, well, sorta examining his claims for consistency and accuracy. The result was…as to be expected!
I almost lost consciousness this morning when I saw this announcement appear on my screen: World Premier of Apostolic Fathers! Friday night I will be giving an introductory talk on the Apostolic Fathers before showing our new DVD for the first time!! The title is Apostolic Fathers, Handing on the Faith. Anyone who buys a copy at this event will
So I was deep, deep in sleep this morning at 4:32am. I remember the dream had something to do with debate, as I was making a very strong point. Now, it may have been about how horses with wings are clearly worth more than horses in roller skates (you know how dreams are), but the point is I was in
Pressed on with our review of the Regent University debate with Shabir Ally, focusing upon the key issues that will surely arise in just a few weeks now in Seattle.
Remember Dan Corner? He was on Gene Cook’s program a while back? The one-string banjo playing fellow whose only topic of discussion is “OSAS”? Well, for those of you who send money to Dan Corner for his ministry, you might want to consider what he is spending it on. Open up a browser (this seems to only be in the

We have been working through an article posted by Islamic apologist Ali Ataie attacking the credibility of Saul of Tarsus, i.e., Paul the Apostle. So far we have found Ataie’s article lacking in any substance whatsoever, and have found each and every point to demonstrate only that Ataie’s exegetical skills are missing-in-action. Context, and any kind of fair-minded reading of
A few portions of my interview on Islam with Coral Ridge appeared this weekend. You can watch the segment on line. If I could figure out how to link directly to the video feed in a player, I would, but that’s a bit beyond my technical capacities. I’m honored to have gotten to contribute to the segment along with the
As I noted last week, Steve Ray’s response (titled “The Obsessed Man Continues his Rant”) to my series (which he professes to have not bothered to read—can you imagine if I replied to his 30 page pdf with the same kind of attitude?) began with these kind words: Someone informed me that James White the Baptist was continuing his rant
Turetinfan has posted a reminder to Guardian that his 90 days will be up soon. As the first DL we will be doing after the cruise and debate will be 10/23, Guardian gets almost an extra week to get all that material together. I’m looking forward to the phone call! TQuid posted a recent diatribe of Art Sippo here. Classic
Dear Dr. Carter: On September 21 I posted an Open Letter to you and informed you of its appearance by e-mail. On September 25thyou made reference to people who e-mail you and challenge you to debate in your class, and hence I assume you received the previous e-mails. You have chosen to not so much as acknowledge my letters, let
A bit of a frustrating program today. Started out with an update on Dr. Lee Carter and his refusal to even respond to my e-mails, let alone deal with his prejudice against believing Christians, and his unwillingness to acknowledge how wrong it is to tell Christian students in class that their parents “lied” to them. Then I took a long
Bill Webster has posted his own testimony in light of the constant drum-beat of promoting Catholic converts. Here’s his article. Bookmark that one! When someone sends you some emotional, fluffy conversion story, send them to Bill’s. The contrast is striking, at least for anyone who loves the truth, that is. Secondly, I’ve been Simpsonized! MB ran me through the Simpsonizer,
TurretinFan (for those who do not know the real Turretin, you should! One of the greats of the church’s past!) has nailed Steve Ray’s hypocrisy to the wall in his post here. That Ray’s own fans do not see the double standard is quite telling, to be sure. I have had a number of folks write to me and report
Many have been asking about any developments in the situation my daughter Summer encountered in having a philosophy professor who accused her parents of “lying” to her regarding the authorship of the gospels (though, of course, he hasn’t a clue what she was taught on the subject to begin with: Carter assumes everyone who believes God can speak with clarity
Played clips from Tim Staples and…Dave Hunt today. Yes, an odd combination, but it was what I had collected over the past few days. Also took a call on Frank Beckwith’s appearance on EWTN.
I continue working my way through Steve Ray’s attempt to defend the bodily assumption of Mary and her queenly coronation as posted in a thirty-page pdf on his website. I note that for the first time since I began my response, Ray has taken note of it on his blog. And, as is usual for Steve Ray, his reply is
Dear Dr. Carter: I have had the privilege of teaching for the past sixteen years, and am thankful for every opportunity I have to stand before a class of students. It is an honor, but it is truly a privilege as well, one to be taken very seriously. It is my understanding that during your philosophy class at Glendale Community
This is the Greek phrase found in Peter’s first epistle exhorting all believers (not just elders, not just “professionals,” but all believers) to always be ready to give a defense, an answer, when asked concerning the hope that is within us. It should strike us that these words were addressed to people who were, by and large, of the lower-class
I continue my examination and rebuttal of Ali Ataie’s article, “Can Paul Be Trusted?”Ataie has been alleging that Paul contradicted Jesus, and thus far, we have seen that in each instance, it is Ataie who is in error, not Jesus nor Paul. We continue with these assertions: Jesus exhorts his followers to strictly adhere to the laws and commandments (Mark
Started off mentioning my daughter’s trials as a Christian in the secular educational world, and then took only two calls, both taking up the rest of our time. The first call was on John 1:1, which took us to past the half hour mark, and the second was on Matthew 27:46 and the concept of the Father “abandoning” or “turning
A few days ago I posted the first portion of my comments in the Boston College debate as part of my reply to Steve Ray. In my comments I noted that Robert Sungenis had asserted that Paul had “over-reacted” in response to Peter’s actions at Antioch. In my reply I pointed out that according to inspired Scripture, Peter was not
