Is it Important to Pronounce Biblical Names "Authentically"?
Some people point out that the way we pronounce “Jehovah” and “Jesus” today are definitely not the way that the names were pronounced at the time the Pentateuch and Gospels were written. For one thing, pronouncing the names with a hard J sound at the beginning represents the evolution of English/French. Similarly, pronouncing “Jesus” with…

"Many Wives" or "Other Wives" vs. "Two Wives" – Norman Geisler's Indefensible Defense of Caner

Recall that…

Emir Caner – Salem Baptist Church
If you have an interest in the Ergun Caner affair, consider listening to a message Emir Caner delivered in 2013 at Salem Baptist Church (link to page)(link to mp3). You will hear things like “My father’s Turkish, my mother’s Swedish” and “Swedish was my first language, English was my second language.” I do wish Emir…

Dr. Ergun Caner very recently (March 2, 2014) spoke at the First Baptist Church, Mount Vernon, Georgia (link to video). Pastor Karl Hay (apparently one of the trustees that voted to call Ergun Caner to Brewton-Parker) has a rather gushing introduction to Dr. Caner at the beginning of the video. It is another one…
