Epiphany: A Christian’s Change Of Heart & Mind Over Same-Sex Marriage By Michael Coren

A Review

IMG_2532

Every Canadian knows the name Michael Coren but watching his career over the last couple of years has been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. In 2011 he published Why Catholics Are Right and followed up with The Future Of Catholicism in 2013. Things changed not long after that. In 2014 he changed his mind on homosexuality and started secretly frequenting the Anglican Church while masquerading as a Catholic in the public square. In 2015 it became public that Canada’s once greatest Catholic apologist had officially joined the Anglican Church and at the centre of his conversion was his new views on homosexuality.

My Response to Dr. James White

Yesterday Dr. James White responded to my post: James White Is Extremely Dishonest And Should Not Be Taken Seriously. His response showed some anger but its understandable since I aggressively attacked his apologetic methodology against Catholicism. The same methodology used by Shabir Ally when criticizing Christianity as a whole.

James White Is Extremely Dishonest And Should Not Be Taken Seriously

White And Ally - Two Sides Of The Same Coin

James White is an inconsistent apologist. He is more than happy to point out how Islamic apologists like Shabir Ally use double standards to attack the Christian faith but when it comes to attacking Catholicism, he throws those standards out the window.

Islamic Apologetics And The Majority of Scholars

The Sanhedrin - The Majority Of Scholars That Condemned Christ

The Sanhedrin – The Majority Of Scholars That Rejected Christ

According to the majority of scholars….The majority of scholars say…..Most scholars have concluded….

Ever heard these lines before when dealing with Islamic apologists? I certainly have. To Islamic apologists, this argument carries a lot of weight. However, they’ll only pull out the “majority of scholars” when it backs up their position. Since I have written on this inconsistency in the past, I won’t repeat it here.  I want to touch on how to confront these arguments head on.

Inconsistency Is The Sign Of A Failed Argument

If you were a Catholic living in the year 120 AD, would you know as much as you do today about the faith? Absolutely not! So then does the Church change her doctine? Absolutely not!

Then why does Catholicism in 120 AD look different than 2016 AD. It is because doctrine develops but it does not change.

Can God Become A Man?

Trinitarianism Vs. Unitarianism In The Old Testament

St. Athanasius – Defender Of The Incarnation

The concept of the Incarnation is difficult to grasp for most Jews. Orthodox rabbis like Rabbi Tovia Singer state that God cannot come down in the form of anything. I find this odd since the Rabbi is telling God what he can and cannot do. The truth is, God comes down to earth in the form of a man several times in the Old Testament.

Is The New Testament Anti-Semitic?

It is often stated by liberals that the New Testament is an anti-Semitic document. Those who make this accusation often confuse anti-Judaism with anti-Semitism. They are not the same thing but liberals often confuse them. I don’t blame them specifically because they’re just following what they’ve been taught by other liberals who came before them.
