As I mentioned to the all-knowing Algo, I thought about blogging last Thursday’s DL, and evidently, that was enough, since I then did not do so. So, we continued our response to Sheikh Awal, and took one call on the Caner scandal. Here’s the program.
What happens when you seek integrity in ministry and particularly in apologetic outreach to Muslims? You would think many would stand with you, encourage you, appreciate the effort. And, that is the case. By far the vast majority of the contact we have had over the past few months after I challenged Ergun Caner to be honest about his false
Once in a while I am asked what kind of (general) apologetic material would I recommend. This can be a difficult question since there is not a lot of material that is simple enough to understand, without having some background knowledge. But the interesting thing about apologetics is that it really is simply thinking God’s thoughts after him and putting
One of God’s attributes is immutability. All Creation changes, but God does not change. This is expressed in two ways. The first way is directly: Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the
Since I had been given some reason to think Sheikh Awal has been following my reviews, I dove back into my response to his presentations.
It has been pretty difficult for anyone to find any evidence of either of the Caner brothers engaging in debates with leading proponents of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., as Ergun’s pre-2010 bio used to claim. But maybe we have discovered why! We were looking for debates in English! This May, 2002 article in SBC Life may help us find those
(and why Steven Anderson should be avoided by any semi-rational, logical thinking individual). This would make for a great Radio Free Geneva…if there was anything of substance to it.
I noted last year that the White House under President Barack Hussein Obama had designated June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.” This resulted in TurretinFan doing an entire month’s worth of blog articles on the subject on his blog. Once again President Obama has added to our national shame by using the powers of his office to
Normally our seminary receives the latest editions of New Horizons magazine before the articles are posted online, but this month is different. And to my surprise the theme for the June 2010 issue is Mormonism. Here are two articles that appear online: “Mormonism and the Gospel”, by Jody O. Morris “The Book of Mormon: Fact or Fiction”, by Norman De
When I find folks that do a great job, I like to let folks know. In the past I have noted my regular use of book covers made by Renaissance Art over in Santa Fe. I have a number of their excellent two-color covers now, and really enjoy them. They are well made and well priced as well. So recently
This morning I had my remote video monitoring program running, which allows me to keep an eye on our security cameras at our offices. I had it moving from camera to camera every three seconds, which meant that each image would be viewed, and refreshed, about every 40 seconds or so. I noticed something very interesting. The first image that
I started off the program playing a clip from Glenn Beck. Yes, the LDS Glenn Beck from Fox News Channel. Last week he attempted to make a point by drawing an illustration from how the Dead Sea Scrolls came about after the Council of Nicea. Yeah, not exactly your best source of historical information. Then the calls, all but one
Many thanks to the folks at Northernridge Baptist Church up in Denver for getting me going on the month of May on the bike (they rented a road bike for me for while I was with them). The altitude training spurred me on. So, for May, 2010: Miles ridden: 612.89 (record in one month, at least since I got back
I recently posted Athanasius Contra Michuta #1. That entry led to the following e-mail question: “I was reading Athanasius on the canon and I noticed he included Esther in the apocryphal category but Esther is part of canonical Scripture. Can you briefly comment on this?” Roman Catholic apologist Gary Michuta likewise brings out this point in Why Catholic Bibles Are
Many people have asked me, “How could Ergun Caner think he would ever get away with all the tall tales he told in the pulpit?” Good question. I have no idea. If I were to make up fake Arabic while speaking before an audience (not just slaughter it, as I have in the past!), I would always be in fear
HT: PB “The Governor is jogging with his/her dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog. California : #1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie ‘Bambi’ and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural. #2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it
Took one quick call at the top of the hour, then delved into completing Sheikh Awal’s opening statement from his debate in 2009. Covered a good bit of territory in the “how to” of apologetic response, as well as diving a little deeper into John 5.
Recently I engaged in a brief conversation with a Catholic Answers participant. The apocrypha, the canon, and the view of Athanasius came up. He stated, Neither Jerome (see Michuta, p. 148-152, and chapter 4), nor Athanasius, are clear opponents of the Deuterocanon. Both of them, especially Athanasius, cited books of the Deuterocanon as Scripture, a detail that supports the pro-Deuterocanon
Last evening a brother pointed me to a comment by Emir Caner posted on Twitter back on the 12th of May. I have included it in the graphic so as to document that it is clearly from Emir Caner, and also to note his re-tweeting of Hussein Wario’s article “Desperate Muslims and Ignoramus Christians” as well. This demonstrates Emir Caner
Before diving back into Sheikh Awal’s opening statement I very briefly responded to yet another “Hey, let’s repeat every tired and silly argument against James White” thread on the Catholic Answers Forums. Also, we went over Norman Geisler’s less than unbiased (and still not really comprehensible) commentary on the Caner scandal. Then spent most of our time responding to Sheikh
I confess: I have no idea why Hebrews 6:19-20 is not just as well known amongst evangelicals as John 3:16. It is truly one of the most incredible texts in all of Scripture. I felt deeply my inadequacy to communicate these divine truths during the evening service at the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church, but here is the attempt. We have
A recent blog post from TurretinFan reminded me that the world has reached its final year, that is, according to Harold Camping. If you venture over to Family Radio’s web page, you’ll find a map of the world, along with a box reminding Camping’s followers of the approaching day of judgment, May 21, 2011. For those of you who may
The closest thing in the United States to a self-appointed infallible magisterium is Catholic Answers. They stand atop the Roman Catholic apologetics food chain claiming to be “one of the nation’s largest lay-run apostolates of Catholic apologetics and evangelization.” One need only search available public records to verify this claim. If you want to know what the papacy means, you
I was informed this afternoon that Dr. Norman Geisler has spoken out on the controversy concerning Ergun Caner’s refusal to openly and publicly answer direct, honest questions concerning the documented contradictions in his public pronouncements and claims concerning his past. The material, posted by Peter Lumpkins, is prefaced by Lumpkins’ claim that Dr. Geisler invited him to “spread it far
SB 1070 is “Senate Bill 1070,” passed a few weeks ago here in Arizona. I am one of the very small percentage of human beings on the planet who has actually read the entirety of the legislation (it is not, like a certain “health care bill” rushed through Congress a few months ago, thousands of pages long). It only took
Yesterday I noted some of the comments showing a high level of devotion to a personality (and a low level of concern for the facts of the case) from a particular Facebook page. When I pulled the text I decided to remove the names, as I was not responding to individuals, but making a general observation about a group of
