Just two items real quick. Wanted to remind folks that I will be filling in for Janet Mefferd Wednesday through Friday. I will be joined, Lord willing, by Carl Trueman and K. Scott Oliphint for a couple of those hours, but will mainly be flying “solo” and discussing various important topics the rest of the time. Hope Janet can recover

I should have mentioned this earlier, in case you are interested Dr. Stephen Nichols will be teaching live on a Google Hangout (don’t ask me what that is). He will be having “a conversation on why the past matters today and tomorrow. From the early church, to the Reformation, and recent centuries, these are necessary discussions to avoid what C.S.

Well, YouTube has restored this video, the only one of mine that Ergun Caner and his legal folks attempted to suppress. I do not know why this was the only one they went after. My guess? I don’t appear in it. I only provide written commentary. In almost all the others, I appear directly, interacting with Caner’s claims. I don’t

Greetings from Berlin! First full day of teaching here at the Europäisches Bibel Trainings Centrum (EBTC) is completed. What a joy to meet with men from Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, and an entire group who flew in from Kiev! We are covering textual criticism through Thursday, then on Friday a marathon day with a larger group on cults and

I hope those who have an interest in the truth regarding the lies of Ergun Caner, and his allies and supporters, have taken the time to archive the videos that are currently available on line, before this happens to them: This particular video is the very definition of “Fair Use,” as, Lord willing, we will prove, very carefully. In fact,

Registration is NOW OPEN for The Life of Jesus and the Gospels. For eight weeks this summer, I will be teaching a weekly class on the life of Jesus and the Gospels at Jesus Bible Institute in New Jersey.

His words, and actions, speak for themselves, in light of the overwhelming documentation. This is not mere self-deception. A wolf is amongst the sheep. Shepherds, where are you? “Discernment” ministries—where are you? Arlington Baptist College—where are you?  Ergun Mehmet Caner @erguncaner @AC13thof12 agreed! Or they will falsely accuse others of doing so, pretending to be righteous but actually just

James was on Issues Etc. on 4/29 talking about the Qur’an and its teachings.

I normally don’t post the Sunday School lessons, but John 14:13-14 is an important text, to be sure:

Heading home late tonight (actually, early in the morning, at least AZ time, on the ol’ red-eye flight) from here in Honolulu after a most enjoyable time with Shane Sowers and the folks at Central Baptist Church. Did a Q&A session last evening on a wildly wide variety of topics after having spoken on Islam, the Challenge of Homosexuality, Galatians

I mentioned a song on today’s DL that is rather “old” by today’s standards, but I think it was written before its time. It’s message is so relevant today, so vitally important, I tracked down two versions of it. The first is from the man who made it famous, Steve Green, ironically singing it at the North Phoenix Baptist Church,

Well, this looks like fun! Of course, I know it is all just a cover. Pat Abendroth is currently training 12 hours a day to ensure that at the right time he will be able to look back at me, like Armstrong did to Ullrich on l’Alpe d’Huez in 2001, and then rocket away, leaving me gasping for breath. I

Given the fact that I’m pretty busy at seminary (trying to get out of here), I don’t always look forward to going to chapel. But since I’m a student, and on staff, and I’m the man behind the curtain recording chapels, I know if I’m not present it’s noticed. Today was one of those days that I’m so glad I

OK, sure, I go to conferences…when I’m speaking at them. Other that that, I’m a homebody. Give me my routine and I’ll stick with it. But if I were near this one, I’d love to hear what will be said—in fact, since I am not nearby, I will hope for quickly released recordings! But for those who are able to

Much to my disappointment tonight’s debate at Southern Evangelical Seminary has been cancelled due to treacherous conditions resulting from a blizzard that blew into Charlotte around 5pm. The temperature is dropping rapidly, and many of the roads around Southern Evangelical are subject to black ice conditions. Please do not head for Southern Evangelical this evening! We fully intend to reschedule

Dr. White has two debates scheduled in Ireland… but we desperately need your help to get him there. NOTE CHANGES TO THE ITINERARY Debate 1: Quran or Bible: Where is the solution to our problems? (University College Dublin) 26th of February at 6pm vs Adnan Rashid Debate 2: Jesus and Mohammad, did they preach the same faith? (Trinity College) 27th

Feb 14, 7pm on the campus of Southern Evangelical Seminary (www.ses.edu) – James White will meet Michael Brown in a friendly debate over the topic of predestination. Then, on Feb 16, starting at 7pm, James White debates Shadid Lewis, and at 8pm Michael Brown debates James Tabor, third hour will be round-table discussion.

While we continue the massive effort to update our website there are some new web practices that didn’t exist, (well, if they did we didn’t have them), when we setup the original blog and store. Now search engines look for things like ‘tags’ and ‘metadata’ in order to identify things in a search. So, I am asking for some volunteer

An Open Letter to Dr. John Ankerberg Dear Dr. Ankerberg: Back in 2010 an entire spectrum of information came to light demonstrating that the self-promoting claims of Dr. Ergun Caner, then of Liberty Seminary, now of Arlington Baptist College, were in large measure fraudulent. The list of errors and falsehoods promoted by Caner was amazingly long. Sadly, Dr. Caner and

…disgusting (and blasphemous as well). Can you IMAGINE what would happen if they used an Islamic concept, say, such as the Mir’aj (Muhammad’s visit to heaven), in such a context? The Middle East would erupt in violence and mayhem. But, since it is a Christian concept, well—who cares? Newsweek, dead as a print title, proves it is as bigoted against

It was right at three years ago we started the Ministry Resource List, and it has been one of the most encouraging things for me personally, let me assure you. Some folks just like being “hands on” and this is a way for those folks to be able to help support what we do in a very practical way. My

A few weeks ago I watched a video from a rap artist by the name Propaganda. The rap was critical of the Puritans, and an exhortation for those who enjoy reading and using Puritan writings. Well, Grand Master Puritan (aka. Dr. Joel Beeke), put his fingers to the keys, and responded to Propaganda with post titled Propaganda: Giving the Puritans

As I see the number of pages left to write in the new book drop below 50, I am looking to the future and a full slate of debates this Fall, totaling, at the moment, at least five, with two more possible in the late winter/early part of next year. As I look to the topics of those debates, I

First, we will be moving the DL to 6:00pm EDT today so I can prepare a presentation on the single worst “homosexual Christian” argument ever made—why focus on the worst? Because, of course, it is becoming immensely popular due to its constant repetition on the Internet, that giant electronic web that constantly demeans serious thought and rewards facile (and in

My friends at the Midwest Center for Theological Studies are making available a Basic Training program that many of our readers might find to fit your needs perfectly. Click here for information!

Ah, good ol YouTube…always concerned about community values, yes? Can’t rock the boat! Thankfully, the clip is still around. Click here.

Two years ago today I posted the following video. It was right toward the end of the major period of revelations concerning the false claims of Ergun Caner. On June 25th of 2010 Caner had been released from his position as president of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. The cover-up on the part of Liberty was still ongoing. As we have

Let me warn you ahead of time: Profane people use profanity. They sort of go together, and I am not talking about Doug Wilson, either. I listened to these videos today on my ride. Despite the profanity, I would recommend them to the person serious about monitoring the spiraling collapse of Western culture’s morality and ethics. I will be discussing

Will be visiting with my good brothers and sisters at Flatirons Baptist Church in Boulder this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, helping the congregation (and anyone in the area) understand Islam and the work facing us all in seeking to bring the gospel to the many millions who follow its teachings. I will be presenting new information that I have
