  • Ben Wallis and Paul Baird Withdraw Debate Challenges

    Readers will remember that I accepted a call for debate opponents from agnostic Ben Wallis here. He has since taken down the post that included the challenge and let me know that some things came up on his end that would prevent any formal debate right now. At the same time, he has suggested another debate opponent for me, and we are attempting to work something out.

    Recall also that atheist Paul Baird openly challenged such noteworthy apologists as K. Scott Oliphint, Doug Wilson, and James White to debate. That challenge extended as well to Jamin Hubner, Dustin Seegars, …

  • skopein uses "TAG"

    Sometimes presuppositionalists are mocked for holding what they do concerning their own view being right and others being wrong. We can expect this in a largely postmodern context. After coming in on a discussion where some atheists were speaking negatively about TAG because of its affirmation of exclusivity and problems with non-Christian positions, I tried to put the point back to the atheist. A few other topics came up during the discussion. This is not the greatest of conversations but maybe someone will find something useful.

    skopein: it’s the Transcendental Argument for God.

  • TAG Does Not Save

    There is an objection to TAG out there that goes something like this:

    TAG cannot save anyone.

    Depending on your context, sometimes it goes like this instead:

    Apologetics cannot save anyone.

    Of course, this is not much of an objection. It is more so just a slightly annoying comment. Perhaps that is an indication that I need to be frequently reminded of it. Apologetics do not save; the Gospel saves. I do not save; Jesus Christ saves. But then, how many times does it take before I have the categories here straight? Could it be that the person raising this …

  • Monergism.com

    July 2011 is presup month at www.monergism.com. Make sure to check it out, and spend some time on the articles that are available there. There are a lot! This is an excellent way to begin feeling one’s way around the presuppositional/covenantal apologetics landscape. The site continues to be a convenient resource for me.

  • *Updated* – Responding to the call for debate opponents (Ben Wallis)

    * For some reason Ben has taken down his debate challenge and it is now cached here. I am not sure what this means. It read as follows:

    A call for debate opponents
    I’m currently seeking opponents to defend the position that God exists in a formal Skype debate (or, if you live in far west Chicagoland, a live debate). For my own part, I am prepared to defend the alternative position that we do not know whether God exists.

    I require that any opponent be at least 21 years old, and satisfy one—preferably two—of the
