Response to R. Scott Clark's "Parody or Serious Proposal" Post

Scott Clark (of whom I’m fond and whose blog I was very glad to see recently restored to life) asked for clarification regarding Larry Ball’s statement: “Historically, the Church has defined the parameters of the civil magistrate and guaranteed its right to redistribute income.” I don’t pretend to speak for Mr. Ball, but I…

The fourth and final prophecy that Zakir Hussain used in his recent debate with Dr. White is the fact (in the linked mp3, see 24:40 – 30:40) that there is a description of a beloved one in Song of Solomon.
