Caner’s Father – An Architect who "Came to Build Mosques"?
In describing his father, Ergun Caner has repeatedly referred to him as an “architect” and claimed he came to America to “build mosques.” I doubt this account for a number of reasons. First, Acar Caner’s death certificate lists his occupation as “engineer.” Unfortunately, this certificate has not been posted on-line. Second, the Turkish article we…

Tom McCall – Conversation with Dr. Ergun Caner
This conversation, between Tom McCall and Ergun Caner, was recently posted to Youtube, but appears to be from several years ago, while Ergun Caner was with Liberty Theological Seminar (not sure how many years ago, exactly) (link to video). It has some of the usual claims, and some interesting situations. Around 45 seconds in, the…

On the 24 Hour Days "Argument" in Genesis
Arguing 24 hour days in Genesis is hardly necessary – the text doesn’t just say day – it specifies the kind of day – the kind with evening and morning. It’s not so much a question of arguing as just basic reading comprehension. I posted the above on Facebook recently, and got some objections. I’ve…

One way to explain this is by reference to the fact that Christ is not…

Bryan Cross versus the Evidence
Bryan Cross writes: “All the historical evidence Lampe cites in his book, even when taken together in aggregate, is fully compatible with there being a monarchical bishop in Rome. Twelve times zero is still zero; it isn’t greater than one times zero.” (source) This response appears to combine sophistry and ignorance in a particularly insidious…

Restore Balance in the Two Kingdoms
This is the kind of comment that leads people to call an unbalanced view of the two kingdoms, “radical two kingdoms”: Indeed, in general terms, it seems from the New Testament that the less we have to do with the magistrate, the better it will be for us. (source R. Scott Clark) That’s the same…
