Dr. Yasir Qadhi – Islamic Scholar
I happen to watch quite a few UFC fights. If I were to go back to visit my parents in my hometown, and talk to my mom and she said: “How were the fights yesterday? Didn’t you think the main event was a good fight?” my jaw would simply drop. Obviously I talk with my mom often and I also discuss UFC with some friends. I happen to know that my mom isn’t a fan and if she wanted to discuss the fights, something would seem quite out of place.
Those who read this blog know about Dr. James White. He is a Calvinist apologist and runs a Calvinist apologetics organization called Alpha and Omega Ministries. He has responded to this blog more than once. Though in the past I have disagreed with him, I actually found myself agreeing with him a lot on his Monday Webcast.
The Heretic James Brownson
Emotion is a powerful thing. For the last 50 years, people growing up in the West have been taught not to think. They’ve been taught to go with what feels good. Sadly, this has spilled into the Church as well. I just want to say that emotion is not a bad thing, but only bad when it’s alone. It needs to be coupled with reason, spirituality and rational thought.
Dr. Bart Ehrman
A few days ago, I was in a local coffee shop and saw a man who looked almost identical to the anti-Christian Biblical Scholar Bart Ehrman. I went over to talk to him. He had no idea who Bart Ehrman was but did say he would google him when he got home.
The Pharisees – The Enemies of God
When you engage in apologetics whether online or in person, you need to know the caliber of the enemy you’re dealing with. This has a major effect on how you then communicate. Do you ask more questions? How much charity do you use? What arguments do you use? Even that last question is answered by whom you’re debating.
Adam and Eve
Have you heard of the Emergent Church? It’s an ultra-liberal circle within Protestantism. In 2008, a young Evangelical woman named Kristen Scharold wrote the following in First Things regarding the Emergent Church movement:
And it should not be so counterintuitive that young evangelicals such as myself prefer theology rooted in tradition to a spirituality waffling in relativism. We want a story with a climax so profound that it leaves us worshiping God, not reducing him to fit into our cultural paradigm.
Masonic Symbol on the floor of the Lodge that hosted the political event.
It’s been one week since American citizens elected Donald Trump to be their next President and therefore politics is on everyones mind. This blog is not political but I need to share a political experience that I once had.
How To Do Apologetics: Making the Case for Our Faith by Patrick Madrid
Before I begin the review of this book, I just want to thank our veterans who fought in both World Wars. There are no veterans alive from the First World War but some Second World War veterans are still alive. I can only imagine the bravery it took for American, British, and Canadian soldiers to storm the beaches of Normandy in June 1944. I also believe that if they could have seen what our nations have become, they would not have ran 20 yards up those beaches. Something tells me that when they went into battle, they weren’t fighting for sodomy, pride parades, homosexual “marriage”, transgenderism, bathroom bills, abortion on demand, rampant pornography or any of the other abominations that have infected our civilization in recent years.
St. Thomas Aquinas – The Angelic Doctor
If you’ve ever talked to a recent graduate from High School, you’ll realize how intellectually bankrupt our society has become. Our education is completely shot. Pretty much everything that I’ve learned, has come from reading after University. The enemies of God are having a tremendous amount of success promoting evil since the current generation doesn’t know how to think critically.
Matthew Vines is getting pretty cocky these days. I found this talk of his online. It’s his last major talk and it sounds like it was given not too long after the Orlando shooting.
