In November of last year I was honoured to be the best man at my former roommates’ wedding. Earlier this month, he and his wife welcomed their first child into this world. On Saturday the child was welcomed into God’s family through the sacrament of baptism. Baptism saves according to St. Peter and this child was saved when he was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. I was the godfather.

Muslim Apologists, Q, and the New Testament
by
Here is a trend that I’ve noticed among Muslim apologists. They say that the New Testament is corrupted because it has late manuscripts, many variants, and other problems. Most can’t back this statement up. All Muslim apologists that I know who have gone the textual criticism route have abandoned it as they’ve realized it’s a dead end. Well, everyone except the infamous Ijaz Ahmad who was recently exposed for doxxing and using racial slurs against a Christian apologist. It should be noted that Ahmad has come out with material in regards to the crucifixion of Christ. I will be getting to that in my upcoming posts.
Muslims have to side with Paul over James in Acts 21
by
As many of you know, I was privileged to be on a recent episode of Reason and Theology. What I discussed and refuted was the argument that the Church of Rome did not have a monarchial bishop until the mid-second century. I of course shredded the argument. In the weeks leading up to this episode I had written several articles refuting this dumb theory. I presented them on the show.
Dr. Bill Warner’s Thesis Confirmed
by
I recently listened to a podcast with an Ex-Muslim who is now Catholic. Praise God that she rejected Muhammad and replaced him with Jesus Christ. In her story, she talked about how her friend knew a priest was going to visit her country which is in the Middle East. They arranged to meet the priest but he discouraged them from baptism and conversion.
Sozomen and the Ishmaelites
by
We often hear from Muslims that Muhammad and his early followers were descended from the Ishmaelites. Obviously Islam doesn’t come on the scene until the 7th century. We don’t know much about Arabia prior to Islam. Most of our information comes from secondary accounts and modern day archeology.
Jews with Islamic Stockholm Syndrome
by
I’ve noticed in these odd days a lot of Jews are getting very cozy with Muslim apologists. They seem to join together to bash Christianity. Now, this isn’t all Jews or even most, but a minority bands together with Muslims so they can attack Christianity together.
Islam – First to Claim the Great Apostasy
by
I’ve mentioned on this blog before that I focus a lot on Church history. In these modern times we have so many resources available to us that it’s so easy to learn Church history. We can start with the book of Acts which is the earliest chronicle of the Church. After that, the church continued to grow in the Roman Empire and beyond it and the sources are readily available.
Where do I go after those 5 books?
by
In my last post I talked about the five books where one needs to get started on studying church history. Notice that I’m really focusing on primary sources? All five books that I’ve mentioned are written in the first millennium so they can’t be warped by a modern bias. Obviously if you want to learn about the Church of England and how it was founded, read Bede and not John Foxe.
My Final Word on the Mecca-Petra Theory
by
I have written about the Mecca-Petra theory before. I’ve always cast doubt on it. I don’t believe that a major religion could change their holy site over 1,000 kilometres and no one blinks an eye. Wouldn’t all the Christians at the time tell them how much a joke they are for that?
Surah 26 and Moses
by
An ex-Muslim contacted me on social media regarding my last article and pointed something out to me. He said that Surah 26 had God talking to Moses and giving him the specific task of rescuing the children of Israel from Egypt.
