On Saturday I did a show with fellow Catholic apologist Elijah Yasi. He specializes in a book called the Relatio by Bishop Gasser. I had known about this document for years but hadn’t read it until the last few months. It was part of Erick Ybarra’s top 10 books on the papacy that he recommends.
The Islamic Jesus – Zero Standards
by
We Christians always accuse Muslims of double standards. Applying one set of standards to our faith while applying a different set to theirs. Well, I’ve been listening to some old stuff and of course arguing with people online and it just came to me. They have absolutely zero standards. It’s not just a lesser standard. There are no standards whatsoever.
Islam, St. Paul, and the Roman Emperors
by
As we Christian apologists know, Muslim apologists blame St. Paul for making Christianity the way it is today. St. Paul is responsible for promoting the death, resurrection, and deity of Christ. It’s actually quite amazing when you think about it. A Jew, probably educated similarly to a modern rabbi today is able to subvert the whole movement from Tawheed to Trinitarianism, escape from death to death and resurrection and the destruction of the true Injeel.
But Jesus Didn’t Mention Homosexuality…

I hope that all my readers had a great Easter weekend. I had a great Easter vigil celebrating the resurrection of our Lord. It brought me a lot of peace in this time of chaos. I also want to congratulate all of those who entered the Church. I’m honoured to have you as brothers and sisters in Christ.
The 1099 Sack of Jerusalem

I was recently on John Fisher 2.0’s channel to debunk a common myth about the crusades. That is, when the Crusaders entered the city of Jerusalem they butchered every Muslim in the city. This myth is thrown around and is accepted uncritically.
Karacay Again; More Didache
by
In my last post I talked about the sloppy research of one Burhan Karacay. He said that the Trinitarian formula had been inserted into the Didache. Naturally no evidence was provided but I’m going to give reasons as to why it is genuine. Here is the passage in question from the Didache:
Haqiqatjou, Karacay, and the Didache
by
It really bothers Muslims that they can’t prove that Christ, his disciples, or his blessed mother were Muslims. Of course they claim that they were but there is no proof. There also isn’t proof of an early Islamic Christian community in the first century. While we know of many heretical groups in existence in the first couple centuries of the Church, there is no community that is Islamic.
Ravi, Sye, and Apologetics
by
Everyone knows about the Ravi Zacharias scandal so I won’t repeat what everyone knows. A lesser but still somewhat well known apologist Sye Ten Bruggencate has announce his departure from apologetics. He’s probably best known for his debate against atheist polemicist Matt Dillahunty. He cited moral failure as the reason that he’s quitting. He didn’t really elaborate on what these moral failings were but I don’t think it matters.
Nabeel Qureshi vs. Paul Williams 15 years later
by
Back in 2006, Nabeel Qureshi debated Paul Williams in a “converts debate”. Nabeel was the former Muslim and Williams the former Christian. At one point in the debate Williams stated that he was a former Christian apologist. That gave me a good chuckle; talk about a failed apologist. For those who don’t know, Williams is someone who has fallen in love with modern liberal Biblical scholarship.
Goodies for the Children of Abraham – three categories
by
In Genesis 17:20 God says that He will make Ishmael a great nation. Muslim apologists often point out that this is somehow connected to Muhammad. What exactly does the verse say? Let’s have a look.
