Passing on Great Information

My friend, Mariano, has sent me two pieces of information that is just too good not to post. He's come across a video that explores Pagan attempts to copy Christianity in the first and second centuries of the common era. The video is called Defeating The Myth-Storians He sent me the product description that reads:

In this three-part video series, Joel McDurmon takes you back to the first-century church to give you an understanding of the attacks on the gospel from the prevailing pagan mystery religions of the day. Joel presents the life and writings of the apostles, the early church fathers, and other compelling evidences, in defending the person of Christ and dismantling both old and new myths and their myth-storians. PART 1: The Myth-Storians in Action PART 2: Bible History: Fact or Fiction? PART 3: Man to Man: Defending the Faith Against Mere Myths

Mariano was also able to attend the Discern Conference for 2009 and has sent me a link to listen to the presentations during the conference. I've only listened to James White's presentation on Islam so far but I enjoyed it. Here is the link.

Christian Apologetics - Life and Doctrine: Jewish / Judaism : One Messiah or Two Messiahs?, part 2 of 2

This time Mariano explores the question as to whether Judaism postulates two messiahs or only one messiah that comes twice. This is part 2.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Don't let them hear!!

I was alerted to the following letter found on the RichardDawkins.net website at the following link.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Don't let them hear!!

On Thursday November 19, 2009, Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (the banana guy) will be distributing 50,000 copies of Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' at universities across America to students for free.


BUT THERE'S A CATCH!!

Each copy will have a 50 page intro about how evolution has never been proven and how Darwin helped inspire the Holocaust.

If this outrages you, then you're not alone. There's something we can do though. We can amass as many of these books as possible, remove the 50 page intro, and then donate perfectly good copies of 'Origin of Species' to schools, libraries, and Goodwill. We can actually make this into something positive.

If you are in college, then you are in a good position to help. Check your campus on November 19th, and if you see a group distributing copies of the book, then get as many as you can. Get a copy for yourself, ask if you can have extra copies for your friends, ask your friends to go ask for copies, and ask other people you see carrying the book if you can have their copy.

This is a shameful thing that Kirk Cameron and the Banana Guy are doing by altering another person's book in order to push their agenda. But we can help to restore the book to how it was intended and keep young minds from being brainwashed by misinformation.

I see nothing wrong at all with Kirk Cameron and his supporters doing this. "Origin of Species" is the first major book of evolution. What is wrong with producing a single volume of it with the other viewpoint? The letter on the internet says that they are pushing a falsehood which is creationism, but I agree with my brother reporting on the Apologetic Front blog, if Dawin's book is so true and so convincing then it should be able to stand against the other viewpoint. Dawin's theories should not need the "help" of suppressing other ideas and thought contrary to it. Could it be that it can't stand up to the evidence?

A 3 yr-old Tosses back foul ball!

I'm not sure if everyone knows about this but at a recent baseball game, a man in the stands catches a foul ball, and his little 3 year-old daughter innocently threw it back! I'm sure she thought she was being helpful. "Oh, the poor man lost his ball and we should give it back." is what I'm sure she thought. It's a case of children doing as they are taught. I applaud her parents for teaching her morals: If someone looses something, give it back.

Here is a news article

Mariano has a collection of resources on his blog concerning Islam. It's definitely worth taking a look.
