Here's a poorly formatted PDF, but you can at least read all the text.

Appears that one has a lot of the text cut-off because of the page header nav.

This one has everything visible: https://pdfhost.io/v/XjfTWIAeI_Larry...alwellspdf.pdf

Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias has been posthumously accused and is being investigated on charges of "sexual misconduct."

I have posted more details about it here:

I have a fundy facebook friend who references this Ravi fellow, I shall have to try and decide whether to take a dump on his beliefs or not, it probably isnt worth the pain it causes him

Spoiler!


In all seriousness, pulling this from the sex abuse thread. I think it's completely unfair to blame the bible.

My sarcasm above, was meant to denote what I think the real problem is. The Christian mythos tells people that good people believe and bad people don't, so if you believe you are good and can dismiss any actions on the basis of being a good god fearing faithful man. I hear this from people all the time, "well they have good morals, they believe in god." Catholicism is even worse because they teach you that you can be forgiven for some pretty terrible as long as you truly believe, and ask nicely.

Predators are drawn to institutions where they access to the vulnerable. The Boy Scouts of America have gone bankrupt, unable to defend all the claims.

Not in the slightest. Where do you think the ideas espoused by Christians come from in the first place?

I think you are totally wrong about this. Here is a sampling of Christian responses to the news about Ravi Zacharias:

I think it is easy for Christians to gloss over the failings of their leaders on the same premise that Christianity is founded upon: EVERYONE is a sinner; EVERY sin is equally deplorable and unacceptable. Quite to the contrary, it is fairly common for Christians to eat their own when they have fallen, and this is in large part due to the ideas expressed above: ministers and leaders are mere vessels for the message. Completely inconsequential, easily discarded and forgotten.

Yeah, I see this as terribly dangerous theology, and in the case of fallen leaders like RZ it is this same type of thinking that normalizes all sorts of awful behaviour. Since every individual person in the human race is hopelessly depraved, then your thoughts and actions are no less wicked than those of child molestors, sociopaths and genocidal dictators. It is all "sin," after all.

I have added a new video to my YouTube channel.



This is the third in my rebuttal series to Christian apologist, Inspiring Philosophy, who has embarked on a feeble attempt to show the consistency and antiquity of the biblical book of Genesis.

This is also the first of probably three videos in which I will discuss in depth the evidence for the consensus theory of the formation of the Pentateuch from various earlier sources.

I have just been scheduled to appear on the Mythvision podcast to talk about bad Christian apologetics and the Documentary Hypothesis:

https://mythvisionpodcast.com

I will be interviewing with the host on 10 May; I doubt that it will be a live discussion, but will certainly link to it once it is uploaded.

I might call on you for some answers today, am just getting into it with my fundy friends as to why they think Catholics arent Christian, which is ironic as they are utter biblical inerrants so you would think being founded by Peter or Mark would be pretty much a seal of approval

Probably the core disagreement your friends would have with Catholics is with salvation (or justification and sanctification I guess); God's removing of the condemnation and penalty of sin and making a person righteous and able to be with God through Christ's work.

They probably believe that people are saved by grace through faith. They also probably believe Catholics believe that salvation is by works (which would be an oversimplification, but works are part of the process for Catholics).

Synergysm vs monergism.

The sacraments are necessary to salvation for Catholics.

Or at least what I was both taught at Catholic school and later what my evangelical teachers told me what Catholics believe and why it's fundamentally different.

If the method of salvation is different then there isn't much common ground.

Sure thing. Although in my experience as a former anti-papist that for these people "The Word" supercedes all; especially Church traditions about sacraments and saints.

It's not just Catholics though, its Eastern and Coptic they look askance at, as well as JW's (I sympathise there) me I dont care either way but I dont get how anyone can view the bible as inerrant but at the same time discount all the bits about the early church

Yeah, in pretty much every church I went to everyone else was led astray and didn't have true salvation.

But they really seemed to have a dislike for Catholics. And Mormons. I remember a lot of youth group meetings watching warning videos about Catholics and Mormons.

The blame for this lies squarely on the Protestant Reformation in Europe, and the Great Awakening in the US. There was so much entrenched bitterness built up by centuries of church excess, that in the 16th century the traditional churches were all recaste by the new Reformers as degenerate and corrupt. Luther's translation of the Greek New Testament into German, and Wycliffe's English translations also revealed the litany of problems with the Latin Vulgate, which was regarded by the Catholic Church as the only authorized text of Scripture. It became more palatable as a result to see the traditional churches as guilty of intentionally stifling and twisting the Word of God. From my own experience, we made it a point of celebrating the Reformers like Huss, Luther, Wycliffe, and Tyndall precisely for their courage in the face of Catholic suppression to translate God's Word into the vernacular.

I have uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel. This one lays out a tonne of the evidence for the Documentary Hypothesis—the reason it is so long is because there is just SO MUCH evidence.



This one was a hell of a lot of work, so I appreciate any views you can spare.

Hey Textcritic, do you have opinions on either of the Youtube channels Paulogia or Religion for Breakfast?

I've been watching a lot of them recently and have been thoroughly enjoying them. Paulogia in particular has some really good videos regarding various apologists.

I don't know Religion for Breakfast, but Paulogia is one of my favourites, and he lives in Calgary (but he is also a dirty Oilers fan). I find him to be really fair in his reviews, his videos are entertaining and he also stays fairly well abreast of contemporary scholarship on the topics he covers.

You should read his blog-debate with Andrew Loke about the resurrection of Jesus. Loke's opening statement is barely comprehensible, but Paulogia's first offering is really good.
