Peter Abelard on the Inerrancy of Scripture in Contradistinction to the Errancy of the Fathers
When it is clear that even the prophets and apostles themselves were not complete strangers to error, what is so surprising, then, if among such manifold writings of the Holy Fathers some things seem to be handed down or written erroneously, for the reason given above? But just as these holy ‘defendants’ should not be…

One Year Apologize …
… the next year, refuse to accept the resignation of the bishops (link to source). No wait – that wasn’t last year that he apologized, it was less than six months ago (link to source). “You have suffered grievously and I am truly sorry. I know that nothing can undo the wrong you have endured.…

Canon Debate with William Albrecht
Yesterday, Mr. William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) and I (Reformed) debated the topic of the Canon of Scripture, specifically the question of whether the so-called Deuterocanonical books and parts of books are Scripture (link to mp3). The most interesting part of the debate, as I believe Mr. Albrecht would agree, were the four cross-examination segments immediately…

Morphology vs. Genetics vs. Evolution
Peter Pike made an interesting argument in the comment box of my previous post (link to post). The argument runs along these lines: 1) Evolutionism claims that common descent can be demonstrated via clading, where clading is broadly defined as grouping individuals in a family tree based on genetic similarity. 2) Clading is great for…

Cranmer on the Second Commandment

In Whom Do You Trust? Through Whom Does your Salvation Come?
Christians are those who follow Christ, who have faith in Christ for salvation. They ascribe to him power and glory, which they do not ascribe to any creature.

Trouble with Clading
One of the claims of evolutionists is that we Creationists don’t want to listen to the evidence, and that evolutionists do listen to the evidence. They claim that we are unreasonable in dismissing their attempt to establish common descent by simply grouping living beings with similar characteristics together. They claim that they are not simply…

Synthesizing Light and Darkness
Christopher Benson has a new post called, “The Future of the Science and Religion Debate.” (link to post – not recommended) Benson argues that, “Christians can achieve a “synthetic middle ground” in the debate if they get a better handle on the vocations of science and religion and a more robust doctrine of creation.” But…

Ergun Caner's So-Called Apology (Part 2)
I previously blogged on the subject of Ergun Caner’s so-called apology (link to my post). Recently, someone directed me to DeMarcus Sullivan’s blog post (link) on the topic. He writes: But ladies and gentlemen, here is the official statement of apology made by Dr. Ergun Caner back in FEBRUARY when he first addressed these allegations…
