The last page of my notes from the debate arrived in my book bag via UPS before the DL yesterday, so I took the time to go over the points I had written down during the closing and the audience questions of the Shabir Ally debate. Then, we took a phone call, and then listened to some Bart Ehrman material—which is really hard to distinguish from the Shabir Ally material!

Some folks will find the discussion

Why Witness to Mormons? and Preorder of Potter’s Freedom Book
James White, , Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Here’s where you can read Hadith Qudsi 36.
