A sad day for truth as Christianity Today posts its “story” on the Ergun Caner situation. Very little of the actual documentation (court documents, video tapes, etc.) are discussed. The title makes it look like “bloggers” are just out to cause trouble, not that there are documented, serious issues relating to Caner’s myth-making. The worst part is the utter-disconnect in

So a former Southeastern seminary student (who shall, for his own health and welfare and peace of mind, remain anonymous), sent me a shot of his yearbook. You will notice the Caner brothers were students at the school together, which is consistent with their story. But what is intriguing is the hometown listed for both of them: Stockholm, Sweden. That

Tom Chantry has provided a rather lengthy, but very well written and thoughtful discussion of the Ergun Caner situation. Unlike most of what you read in the blogosphere, it has flow and style. You can start here, but be prepared to do something early 21st century people rarely do: invest more than 45 seconds on one topic! Chantry nails the

Two tremendous opportunities have opened up for ministry in just a few months. But we need your help. First, we have gotten a positive response from Christopher Hitchens for a debate on Long Island in August. We are hoping it will be around the time of the John 10:16 Conference, however, it might have to be late August instead. I

Jamin Hubner has an excellent discussion concerning this amazing quotation from William Lane Craig on the Janet Parshall Show: Let me first make a point, Chris, that I’ll hope you’ll understand, and that is I don’t try to prove the inerrancy of Scripture to a nonbeliever. I think Scriptural inerrancy is a Christian doctrine that someone comes to believe after

Of course, other things could intrude upon my thinking between now and then, but right now, there are a few items I want to get to. First an announcement, secondly a humorous item, finally a really important item. Next Wednesday I will be joining Michael Brown on his radio program. No, no debates this time: they have recently gone on

This morning someone pointed out to me that the Liberty website’s bio is now the same as the one on Ergun Caner’s personal website, and hence all references to debating have vanished. That would be good—if it were accompanied by full disclosure of and honesty. Until that “rebuffing” is made public, and we see that it does, in fact, address

My apologies for “going dark” this weekend, but I’ve been speaking in Rochester, NY, and when I wasn’t doing that (and visiting the Palmyra LDS sites, as those who follow my Twitter account saw on Saturday afternoon/evening), I have been working on preparations for the Robert Price debate. Lord willing I’ll be getting back into the “groove” this week, doing

When you thought it couldn’t get any stranger…well, of course, it does. I got here to Rochester this afternoon, got to my hotel, got on line, and immediately was directed to an internal memo from Liberty Seminary. Now, let me say immediately, I have yet to see verification that this memo is genuine. It looks like it is, and the

Well, Mr. Burleson was right. Yesterday the bio that had included the claim that Caner came to the US in 1979 (you can still see that date in the search data found here, currently the third entry, which reads, “… homeLIFE Ergun was born in Stockholm, Sweden to turkish parents and in 1979 immigrated to the United States with his

Read this account: Now his eleven year old son is receiving messages on his facebook page with links to critical articles about his “deceptive daddy” on Muslim attack sites, the very sites , , and have milked dry in an apparent attempt to smear . I remain nauseous in my soul over this.

For my friends in the New York area, I will be speaking on Islam in Rochester this weekend. Here’s the info. Anthony Flew passed away. Jamin Hubner has some comments here. I never understood how non-Reformed apologists rejoiced over someone moving from atheism to deism, as if this somehow proved something. It is the “better to be a little closer
