Natural theologians constantly commit one of the simplest errors. They take an idealized and romantic modern concept of human "Reason," that developed during the Renaissance, particularly during the French Revolution, and insert it back into biblical times and even attempt to insert it into biblical texts. But is it possible that ancient writers, most of whom died thousands of years before the Renaissance, knew of and believed in ...
The conclusion - Will Christian appeal to Scripture or to Natural Theology? "Can you prove by reason alone that there is a God or that Jesus loves me?" Christian looked at him and said: "The Gospel is not optional. It is either turn or burn; repent or perish. I exhort you with all divine authority to repent of your sin and turn to your Maker before He casts you into ...
Part 2 of a satire inspired by J.P. Moreland's ETS address. Hearing a noise behind him, Christian turned and saw that Talkative had followed him and had been watching him all this time. Christian asked him, "What do you think of these men and their amazing time machine?" Talkative replied, "No one today believes that anything is universal, self-evident or intuitive. We have moved beyond freedom and dignity to the new humanism. ...
A satire dedicated to Evangelicals that love the Bible, and are unwilling to trade it for natural theology no matter how much whining is done about Evangelicals being "over-committed to the Bible!" Inspired by J.P. Moreland's 2007 ETS address a few days ago. Last night I had an interesting dream. I have been rereading Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan and wondered how he would have dealt with the Natural theologians and ...
The “Waterloo” of Natural theologians is the simple fact that they cannot produce any “rational” arguments, apart from and independent of the Bible, to justify why they or anyone else should do apologetics. They have yet to logically justify their existence. Because there is no rational basis for apologetics, it has virtually disappeared from most seminaries. Imagine a Christian trying to dialogue with a group of Natural theologians ...
Jewish and Christian Apologists have always used satire in the defense of the faith and the ridicule of unbelief. The satire of Elijah on Mt. Carmel was as brilliant as it was brutal (1 Kings 18:27). Jesus and Paul did not lack in the use of satire (Gal. 5:12). John Bunyan and many great Christian writers and preachers used satire as a sword to cut to the heart ...
By the grace of God, I have finished a new book that defines, documents, and then refutes Eastern Orthodoxy. Books that promote EO are coming out by “Christian” publishers every day. Even some Reformed ministries sell some of these books. I have to believe they do so out of pure ignorance. My examination of Orthodoxy has taken almost five years. I began by attending their seminars and conferences. I ...
On the way back from Spain to LAX, we had a connection at the London airport. Sitting with my wife at the gate waiting for our flight to depart, a large fat man with messy hair, wearing a wrinkled black shirt and black pants, with dark circles under his eyes, ran over to where my wife and I were sitting, leaned over in my face, and shouted, “You ...
I sat on a panel of nine speakers at a prophecy conference in Covina, CA and when we were asked if Bush was a Christian, I was the only speaker who said that he was not a Christian. As a member of various “one world” groups such as the Grove, Masons, Skull and Bones, etc. he will say whatever you want to hear - if it will get ...
I have been lecturing and writing on what is now called the “Open View” of God since the early 1980’s. Of course, the modern title for this damnable heresy is absurd. It should be called, “The Closed View” of God because they close the future to God’s knowledge and control. But then liberals have always painted their heresies with virtue’s colors. The trains that took the Jews to ...
The first time I spoke out against Mother Teresa is when I saw her picture on the front cover on Christianity Today. I checked her background, beliefs and supposed good works, and came to the conclusion that she was more a demon than she was a saint; and that she was an anti-Christ and an apostate if there ever was one. I went on my radio program and ...
A wolf had lived among the sheep dressed in a sheepskin. Thus disguised, he had disarmed the naïve and this allowed him access to the tender lambs. One day he grew tired of pretending to be a sheep. He suddenly threw off his sheepskin, announced he was actually a wolf, left the flock, and joined a wolf pack. Many shepherds felt that the wolf was only a confused sheep. ...
