Two weeks ago I began teaching on the topic “A Biblical Approach to Christian Counterfeits.” This is an introductory course that will end up being 12 weeks total. Since the issue of methodology is currently a hot topic, this week and the following two weeks is devoted to this issue. I am presuppositional in my apologetic methodology and therefore trying to apply this to Christian counterfeits. Frankly, there isn’t much theoretical material from our camp dealing with cults and world religions.
Here are Word docs for the first and second weeks, which include an outline and a bibliography. If you’d like to offer some feedback go here.
While most of you who read this blog probably will not get much out of what I’m doing (i.e. you been there, done that), I still hope it is beneficial to the body of Christ.
BTW: I am putting together another edition of the Countercult Apologetics Journal which I hope to go live with by July (if not earlier). I already have some great articles either in hand or lined up on Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, the Trinity, Islam, and more.
I am looking for additional articles and book reviews, so if you are interested contact me.

The Charge that no Knowledgeable Muslim Would Mis-cite the Hadith as Caner Did.—It is charged that Caner often cites the Hadith without mentioning the actual name of the collection.

Friday Morning Odds and Ends
Watching the news these days reminds me of how frightening it must be to not know God has a purpose He is working out in this world.

The Ergun Caner Cover-Up: A Geisler Excuse Self-Implodes
You will recall that Norman Geisler has taken the lead in the cover-up of the Ergun Caner scandal, seemingly intent upon protecting his fellow Veritas professor from the great Calvinistic conspiracy at all costs. A hand full of surface-level excuses have been offered by Geisler, all of which have been reviewed and found to lack much in the way of

Quick Greetings
Greetings from Long Beach Airport. On my way home after spending yesterday with Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron and the entire crew at The Way of the Master here in Southern California. I talked, quite honestly, non-stop, from yesterday morning at 7:30am till yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm. We shot a great deal of footage (high def!) on Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism,

Back from St. Louis
Just a quick note: the Dividing Line will be live this afternoon, Lord willing. Whether I will be overly alive, or lively, is another issue. Half a night’s sleep and a 3 hour plane ride doesn’t help the ol’ brain work well. Anyway, when we landed, the flight attendant (I was going to put “stewardess” but that would have really

Procrastinators Beware!
I just learned that the insanely low costs for the October cruise on the Mercury will go up on 1/1/07, but, still, you can sign up with nothing more than a $50 fully refundable deposit before then!

The Hypocrisy of the Left
If you are a leftist, you can run for office from the pulpit of a church. If you are a conservative, you can’t.
