The Truth War
I’m adding one more series to my plate here on this site. As you know I’ve taken a nose dive into the Cedarville conspiracy issue. I’ll give a brief history if for a wrap up. Cedarville has been in the midst of some philosophical controversy over the past 5-6 years, and as a result some Bible professors have been let go, for what has been cited as “violations of the faculty handbook”. These professors are some of the more “Conservative” professors at Cedarville. They stand for conservative hermeneutics. Because these conservative professors have been let go, and because certain other “Liberal” professors have not been let go, there has arisen a group of students, as personified in the Facebook group “Students who want the truth about the faculty exodus away from Cedarville,” who have jumped to the conclusion that Cedarville is intentionally trying to oust its conservative faculty to replace them with liberal faculty so that they can move away from such things as “Conservative Hermeneutics… Biblical Truth… Scriptural Authority… Her Baptist Roots…” Now there are a plethora of issues that surround this. I’ve tackled the logical error that is the assumption of what is going on – the conspiracy theory that has arisen. But now I’m going to get into some other areas of this.

So I wrote the following e-mail to McConnell to rebut his callers: (more…)
In Case Anyone Wonders
In case anyone is wondering why I’m so critical of IFB’s and IFBC’s and the way they do Evangelism, I have an answer for you. I’m critical because I see the way the world reacts. I’ve done street evangelism in the FE way. I’ve heard people’s reaction to the gospel we’ve given them, and it terrifies me to see the world reacting the way they do to the ‘good news’. Let me give you an example from pop culture: (more…)
