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
Yes, the summer months are tough on ministries. Donations are down all over, including here in the ol’ A&O bunker. But after getting eight copies of the same “we are about to go belly up, we need a quarter of a million bucks right now” e-mails from Catholic Answers, I started getting another one, featuring a Madonna/child graphic, for the
Yesterday we began with a discussion of the atonement and the many attacks upon the biblical concept that are rampant in “evangelicalism” today. Then we took a call about the New Covenant from a “Messianic” perspective, and finished up with a little Shabir Ally.
I continue my examination and refutation of Steve Ray’s attempt to defend Rome’s dogmatic teaching of the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven, and her doctrinal teaching of the queenly coronation of Mary. In our first installment we pointed out that since the Assumption is a dogmatic teaching, the highest standard of evidence is required to defend it, and we
I continue my review and refutation of Ali Ataie’s attack upon the Apostle Paul titled “Can Paul Be Trusted?” Thus far we have seen Mr. Ataie offering horribly flawed interpretations of Paul’s words that betray both a great prejudice and bias on his part (bordering on bigotry) as well as a tremendous amount of ignorance concerning the art of serious
“in the defense and confirmation of the gospel” (Phil. 1:7). As you go to gather with the saints this day, aren’t you thankful that despite all the voices that cry out “you can’t know the gospel! It is too difficult, too obscure!” that we do, in fact, possess the life-changing truth that God has saved in Jesus Christ, and that
What do all false religions share in common? While a number of answers suggest themselves, in our context, I am referring to their united attack upon the inspiration, consistency, and sufficiency, of the Bible as the Word of God. In particular, false religions that wish to make some room for Jesus in their teaching while fundamentally altering the truth about
Finished up Deedat’s presentation on Muhammad in John 16, and then took two good calls on the nature of the gospel. This evening I was directed to an Orthodox blog that seems to be dedicated to nothing more than making wise cracks about The Dividing Line. You can find it here. I wonder why this fellow doesn’t call the program
I’ve seen it many times. The Cage Stage. A believer’s eyes are opened to the majesty of God as the sovereign King of the universe, and their entire life is turned upside down. And for a while, they have more zeal than they have knowledge. We call it the “cage stage.” That period in the experience of the new Calvinist
I just received notice that Sandra Tanner, one of the greatest living experts on Mormonism, will be on The Bible Answer Man Broadcast next week, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18th and 19th. Anyone who has ever spent time talking to Sandra knows she is an encyclopedic resource of information about the history and beliefs of Mormonism, so I would encourage
Yesterday, in responding to the straw-man representation of “Baptists” presented by Jonathan Bonomo, I replied to the assertion that Baptists have separated themselves from “Christendom” (I used the term Christianity, since as a good Baptist I don’t believe it is appropriate to dub something “Christian” that lacks the gospel and the Spirit and, also as a good Baptist, I’m not
Michael J.G. Pahls wrote this morning, “This statement itself, however, shows why White is not Reformed. He presupposes that one’s doctrines of the church and sacraments are external and indifferent to one’s doctrines of God and Scripture or the gospel.” This illustrates why I have so little taste for the “You are not Reformed, we are, hug a Romanist with
Jonathan Bonomo has replied to the immediately preceding article. While I truly have no desire for this conversation at all (Mr. Bonomo’s ability to embrace contradictory gospels so as to see both Baptists and Roman Catholics as his brothers is far more important, and telling, than anything that comes below), I feel it necessary to clarify some issues. Mr. Bonomo
