Silly Stuff
As of the time of the posting of this article, Harold Camping has been proven a false prophet (again). Why? Because it is now 7pm standard time (yes, I remembered to factor in the daylight savings thing) in Guam, one of the first places on earth to experience the time of the “rapture” that Camping has predicted as a guaranteed
Can you imagine what it will be like for Campingites around the world a week from today? Listening to the news, waiting to hear about earthquakes at 6pm all around the world? Maybe saying goodbye to loved ones? Giving away personal items, all the time, wondering…. I listened to two NPR reports on Camping’s prophecy today, and it was truly

Most Common Heard Statement on Evangelical Seminary Campuses…it Seems
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , Simply Silly“I don’t agree with Barth, but I think we can learn a lot from him.”
So, how long till we see this in America, replacing pastoral search committees at mega churches?
(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.
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
Dr. White is traveling and asked me to post this here. One reason for having it here is so that folks can investigate the matter for themselves, rather than simply listening to commentary from critics. Indeed, some folks have suggested that Ergun Caner’s critics are getting their material from a Muslim “hate site” – apparently suggesting that the sources involved
Remember back in November of 2008 when I was last here in the UK? What happened while I was gone? The John 3:16 Conference and the wild-eyed (and oft refuted) allegations against me of being a “hyper Calvinist,” etc. So what happens this time while I am here teaching and preaching (picture at right from yesterday afternoon’s lecture at Trinity
The far edge of anti-Reformed rhetoric can get a bit loopy at times. I have now been promoted to “the Leader of Calvinism” by “Apostle Troy Brooks.” I’d embed an mp3 of the Twilight Zone theme here, but that would be tacky. Why James White, the Leader of Calvinism, is Going to Hell
It is great to have so many supporters out there! I was sent a link to this video. Now, it had exactly one view on it when I watched it. If you can figure out what this very zealous fellow is talking about, you are wiser than I am. If you can figure out how any of this is actually
OK, when they got to the part about Dan Wallace, I cracked up. Only Greek geeks will find this funny. But hey, that’s me.
I got a note from “Jeff,” the fellow in the bald cap in this video from Salt Lake City a number of years ago. He writes, I sir,am the man in the bald cap mocking you with lonnie and ruben at the mormon conference. I just thought i would tell you that, you are blasphemous heathen. You put down God’s
at the Lord’s Coming when the New Jerusalem descends from the heavens and hovers over God’s country, Wisconsin, during the Millennium, the city of Madison will be uprooted and thrown into Lake Michigan. Where do most liberal ideas originate? UC Berkeley? Boston? Nope, they originate in the Communist City-State of Madison, Wisconsin. And UW-Madison is the Holy of Holies of
I was directed to the “Praisefest Ministries” website regarding an upcoming cruise. Now, I must confess, I cannot possibly imagine how you have a cruise with this many speakers/singers/performers, but hey, that’s not what is interesting here. The range of theologies represented by such notables as “Apostle Dr. Lyrica Joy Smith” would be sure to keep the readers of my
Michael Baigent, whose highest degree is in “mysticism and religious experience,” who likewise wrote the work that became the source of the central core of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, his Holy Blood, Holy Grail, is about as unbiased when it comes to the New Testament as the Pope would be on Catholicism. A spinner of conspiracy theories and
According to the Berean Call website, Dave Hunt will be debating Shabir Ally on February 23rd at 7pm at the All Saints Catholic High School (???) in Whitby, Ontario. The title is “Christianity vs. Islam.” Interestingly, this is the third of three debates Hunt is scheduled to do in only 24 hours: the first on Hinduism the night before, the
The Uber Librarian posted this on her blog last week. It seems fitting to link to it…today. An Uber Librarian poem.
Some of you are aware (probably most by now) that Michael Horton was on 60 Minutes on Sunday evening, responding to Joel Osteen’s “theology.” The segment can be view by clicking here. Michael Horton also has posted some article in response here. Kim Riddlebarger writes a wrap up here in which he states: On the lighter side, just so you
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
If defiling the “holy book” Qu’ran merits not only the charge of “Hate Crime” as well as an arrest as Dr. White mentioned earlier, then I wonder when Sir Ian McKellen will be under investigation for ripping sections of Leviticus that address homosexuality out of the Gideon Bibles in hotels he stays at. “It’s tricky for McKellen – ever the
A Scotsman stranded in Australia provided this link to me. It reminded me of this picture from a few years ago: That’s me on the shores of Loch Ness pointing to Nessy. You can see her, right? I sure could.
This is classic. I think I will print this out and carry it on my next flight and leave it in the seat pocket. Or better yet, if I could just figure out when Dave Hunt will be on a flight…and what seat he’d be in….
TB sent me a note about a bumper sticker he saw that pretty well exemplifies the emasculated, unbiblical, feelings-oriented, God-dishonoring “theology” of so much of what is called churchianity today: Give Jesus a Chance….He Died to Have the Opportunity Yeah, that’s just how I hear the biblical call to repent and bow the knee before the Lord of Glory, your
I wonder if I could get Tim LaHaye to write a foreword for one of my books? Remember this piece of incredible insight written for Dave Hunt’s What Love is This? “This book could well be the most important book written in the twenty-first century for all evangelical Christians to read.” Think about that one for a moment. So today
They’ve been threatening to do this for years. You always expect visitors on Easter Sunday, of course, but…this? Yes, good ol’ Lonnie, victim of old ladies on oxygen in wheel chairs, bravely stood outside the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church, preaching to the…shrubberies. He only showed up right before service started, so most folks were already inside, and afterward we just
The Arizona Republic ran a story on the Lonnie Pursifull “I am scared of little old ladies in wheel chairs” story today. JJ Hensley did the write-up. Rich and I are both quoted in the story, and now we know the name of the lady in the wheel chair, Anne Carlisle. Immortalized in print, however, are the words of Pursifull,
First, I need to officially change the name of the Street Abusers Cult. Though SAC fits quite well, I think the name suggested today in our chat channel is far better, “Street Screechers.” So, since you always have 72 hours to change the new name of a cult, I hereby dub them the Street Screechers Cult. SSC. Next, some folks
