Brian Brodersen of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa says Calvinism is Christianity without Jesus. He says Calvinism "lacks the heart of Jesus." We examine this claim, and respond.

Here I offer some comments on the lack of serious interaction with Scripture prevalent in the writings of Roman Catholic apologists today.

The cultural shift toward Darwinian humanism was displayed in its fullest form yet in the elections of 2008 in the US. Here are my thoughts.

On June 21, 2010, I arrived at a church expecting to give a presentation on the reliability of the New Testament and then take questions. I had been scheduled to debate Sheikh Ahmed Awal, but a few hours earlier he had backed out of the debate. I set up my computer and was ready to begin right at 7pm, when, literally sixty seconds before I was going to start, I was informed that we were going to have a "discussion" with Ehteshaam Gulam, a Muslim, about whom I knew absolutely nothing. Here is what I posted on my blog the next day:

This morning I was informed by others that Mr. Gulam had posted on our Facebook page a simple question asking why I was "hiding" our "debate." Ironically, I had been given the DVD of the discussion (this is not a debate, as anyone can see) along with the video footage of my previous debate with Sheikh Awal that very day at the ABN studios as I was preparing to record more episodes of "Answering Islam." There had been no "hiding" at all, it simply takes time to edit materials.
I had never intended to make this material available. Mr. Gulam was unprepared and unprofessional in his presentation. Anyone can cobble together quotes from atheists, agnostics, and other unbelievers, while refusing to reflect meaningfully upon the issues. His consistent inconsistency is vibrant testimony to his inability to critically engage the important issues. However, given that a false accusation has been made, and given that the question and answer period, at any rate, is very useful in exposing the double standards of the common Islamic apologetic position, I provide the footage here, as distasteful as the encounter was.

A Muslim has falsely accused me of holding to patripassionism, that despite the clarity of my books on the topic, and even my debating those who hold such views! His arguments are especially easy to refute, as I show here.

The Qur'an denies, in a single ayah (verse), that Jesus the Messiah was crucified. By denying this historical reality, the Qur'an forces its followers to not only reject one of the most certain events of history itself, but by so doing it separates them from the life-giving message of the cross of Jesus Christ.
In this video we compare the 40 Arabic words of Surah 4:157 with the 33 Greek words of Galatians 2:20. Here are the texts (as translated by the co-author of the lyrics, James White):
Surah 4:157: And in reference to the Jews who said, "We killed the Messiah, Jesus the Son of Mariam, the apostle of God," they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear to them. And indeed those who differ in the matter are surely in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it except following mere assumption. But of a certainty they did not kill him.
Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified together with the Messiah. So it is no longer I who live, but the Messiah living in me. And this fleshy life I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God, the one who loved me and gave himself in my place.
It is our sincere hope that Muslims will know we present this with true love in our hearts for them, and in the hope that they will see their need for Christ's work, and will submit in repentance and faith to His lordship.
We have had many requests for the shirt Ivey is wearing in this video, so Carla Rolfe has provided it for us here:

There is absolutely no reason to shrink back from asserting that the Triune God accomplished exactly what the Triune Majesty intended to accomplish in the death of Christ. It is a glorious truth, and it is plainly taught in Romans 8:31-34.
