With the school year in full swing I had the opportunity to go down to Virginia Tech and have conversations with students about whether truth exists. In six years of doing this today is the first time a student unequivocally rejected collective survival of the fittest. Darwin claimed that an organism could survive in twoContinue reading “Apologetics at Virginia Tech”

We Made It (Part Duex)
So we made it…again. I have to say that the second time around just isn’t the same. I have to admit, the glow is wearing off. That said, this time we get a longer and more thorough treatment. Yesterday we found out that we are committing those scary category errors and arguing like Muslims. InContinue reading “We Made It (Part Duex)”
We Made It To The Dividing Line
We made it. I mean it’s not like we debated Bart Ehrman or like we debated in a South African Mosque, but we made it. On September 8th, James White spoke of our work here. I mean this is like a dream. I’ve always wanted to be on Dr. White’s Dividing Line. I mean, itsContinue reading “We Made It To The Dividing Line”

As part of this preparation many have been sending me things to watch and watch out for. Thank you all for that. OneContinue reading ““I Watched It” – A New False Friend”
Ontological vs. Epistemological Canon
Recently I watched a highlight of Dr. White dealing with the concept of Ontological Canon vs. Epistemological Canon. I am familiar with ontological, epistemological, and canon but the comparison/contrast infers two kinds of canons the Canon that is [Ontological], and the Canon we understand as Canon [Epistemological]. White dealt with this comparison in the contextContinue reading “Ontological vs. Epistemological Canon”
Ward Stops Interacting with Confessional Bibliology by Interacting with Confessional Bibliology
In the aftermath of the Textual Confidence Collective debacle, Dr. Mark Ward thought it best to shoot a video declaring that he is done engaging Confessional Bibliology because he considers our side, for the most part, too rancorous. He then goes on to engage Confessional Bibliology, to share his thoughts on the problems of ConfessionalContinue reading “Ward Stops Interacting with Confessional Bibliology by Interacting with Confessional Bibliology”
McShaffrey vs. Ward: The AV Pronoun Debate
At TextandTranslation.org, Christian McShaffrey and Mark Ward have jointly shared their respective views on the use of “thee” and “ye” in the Authorized Version and whether such terminology should be abandoned. McShaffrey does a fine job defending their use and it seem quite clear that Ward technically concedes McShaffrey’s point. Take a look.
