Ray Comfort's (and my) Agenda Revealed!
As is often the case, Ray Comfort has found a succinct way of putting the matter of my objective as an evangelistic apologist (link). The goal is to drive people toward the gospel, toward faith in the crucified and risen Christ alone for salvation. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

Can We Say "God Bless You" To Roman Catholics?
The subject question is one that is posed by Mr. William Albrecht’s latest video (link). The question is an interesting one. On the one hand, we certainly do wish and pray and act for the good of Roman Catholics. A substantial number of the posts on this blog of late have been directed toward Roman…

Easter Eggs and Jesus' Rebirth?
Mr. Lankford recently directed me to the following statement that betrays a misunderstanding of the connection between Easter and eggs: Easter means nothing to me. Which is why I bought all these eggs. Eggs aren’t religious symbols to me. I’m not a Christian recognising the death and rebirth of Jesus. Not a Jew celebrating the…

Response to Bassam Zawadi on Mohamed's Belief in the Bible
Mr. Bassam Zawadi has provided an answer (link to answer) to my recent article (link to article), which demonstrated that Mohamed did not know of the currently prevalent Muslim view that the Bible is corrupt. Zawadi’s first point of contention is over why Muslims claim that the Bible is corrupt. I had asserted that it…

The Sort of Evangelical I'm Not
I’m not the sort of Evangelical who thinks that this “gear” (link1 link2 – same guy – two posts on his “gear”) is ok. I’m the sort of Reformed believer that thinks that these verses are in the Bible: Isaiah 44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for…

This is a response to a video (link) that seems to suggest that we cannot use Hebrews 1:8 to establish the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. I respectfully but firmly disagree, for the reasons I set forth in more detail in video (sorry, audio only, plus a slideshow in case you must watch something).…

Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses
It’s not quite a “how to” but the first half of the Dividing Line program for March 24, 2009, provides a good introduction to how we can speak with Jehovah’s Witnesses in a productive manner (link). Enjoy! -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

Vatican Editing & a Clear Conscience
I found an article complaining that the Vatican edited the remarks of the pope that were given during his recent visit to Africa (link). I was immediately reminded of this amusing clip (link). No doubt the remarks were edited for the perfectly innocent reason of reflecting “a version which represents the [pope’s] views as he…

Ancient Christian Writers Series – Index Page
Ancient Christian Writers: The Works Of The Fathers In Translation, Edited by Johannes Quasten and Joseph C. Plumpe. These may be obtained from the publisher (link). Where I know the information, I’ve added the year of the book and a link to a free on-line source. 1. The Epistles of St. Clement of Rome and…

Understanding Textual Variants
Dan Wallace at Parchment and Pen has an interesting post (link) that explains textual variants as well as a common mistake made by some “Evangelicals” who try to explain away the textual data, without really understanding it. I’m posting this link both because it is an interesting article, and also in attempt to falsify his…
