On Wes Huff & Daniel McClellan

From Wes Huff writing in response to Dan McClellan & McClellan’s attempt to undermine Wes’ credibility —- & in our (the members, deacons, & elders of PAPC) unanimous opinion —- the words & work of his critics & other opponents, the Bible itself included… I take the concerns about plagiarism in my written work seriously. Honesty and integrity matter deeply to me, and not correctly crediting others’ work, in any setting, falls short of those standards.  I’m committed to full accountability and am walking closely through this with my pastor, church elder board, and the Apologetics Canada Board of Directors. Right now, my family’s priority is caring for our young daughter as she recovers at home following her recent hospitalization. I’m very grateful for the support and prayers we’ve received. I will be stepping back from further public comment while the Apologetics Canada Board conducts its thorough review. We thank  the LORD for this statement &, for prov...

Psalm 118


118 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  Let Israel say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

3  Let the house of Aaron say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

4  Let those who fear the Lord say,

“His steadfast love endures forever.”

5  Out of my distress I called on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me free.

6  The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.

What can man do to me?

7  The Lord is on my side as my helper;

I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

8  It is better to take refuge in the Lord

than to trust in man.

9  It is better to take refuge in the Lord

than to trust in princes.

10  All nations surrounded me;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

11  They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

12  They surrounded me like bees;

they went out like a fire among thorns;

in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

13  I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,

but the Lord helped me.

14  The Lord is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

15  Glad songs of salvation

are in the tents of the righteous:

“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,

16  the right hand of the Lord exalts,

the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”

17  I shall not die, but I shall live,

and recount the deeds of the Lord.

18  The Lord has disciplined me severely,

but he has not given me over to death.

19  Open to me the gates of righteousness,

that I may enter through them

and give thanks to the Lord.

20  This is the gate of the Lord;

the righteous shall enter through it.

21  I thank you that you have answered me

and have become my salvation.

22  The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

23  This is the Lord’s doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24  This is the day that the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25  Save us, we pray, O Lord!

O Lord, we pray, give us success!

26  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

We bless you from the house of the Lord.

27  The Lord is God,

and he has made his light to shine upon us.

Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,

up to the horns of the altar!

28  You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;

you are my God; I will extol you.

29  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

for his steadfast love endures forever!  

This Is The Way!  This Is Our Prayer! 

O LORD, Hear Our Prayer(s)!

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

Covenant Theology In Outline Form (Part 1)

This is the general outline of a suzerain covenant. Shema/Preamble Historical Prologue General Stipulations Specific Stipulations  Renewal, Document Clause Witnesses Victory Statement This outline appears repeatedly in Scripture.    It makes for a helpful Study Guide.     We ought to pay careful attention when this outline appears, insofar as every major biblical covenant takes this form.    Here are some helpful thoughts. The Bible teaches the 3 uses of the Law (& Gospel).     Understanding the 3 uses of the Law helps us as we study Deuteronomy & the Sermon on the Mount.   As Moses delivered God’s Law from Sinai, so Yeshua reveals God’s Law with a Gospel slant from the Mount of Olives.  Deuteronomy :  Preamble (1:1-5) Historical Prologue (1:6 - 4:43) General Stipulations (4:44 - 11:32) Decalogue 5 : 1 - 21  Specific Stipulations (12:1 - 26:19) Renewal, Document Clause (27:1 - 30:20)  Witnesses ...

The Biggest Lie Told During Pride Month

Generally speaking, Mike Winger is a pretty good Christian apologist, but like many theologically Evangelical (& Non-Evangelical) Christians these days, his heart & mind are still in the thrall of Liturgical Philosophy & Ecclesiastical Tradition.  According to him , the other side of the ecclesiastical ideological aisle is guilty of lying this time of year.   He could not be more wrong.   In truth, the biggest Pride month lie is the tradition bound view on homosexuality.  The reader is invited to refute this by way of using the Bible only & commiting no exegetical, epistemic, & logical fallacies.  First, let’s outline the texts of Leviticus 18 & Romans 1:18 - 32 together in tandem.    Why?  Because Leviticus 18 is inerrant & infallible case law, & Romans 1:18 - 32 is verbal, plenary inerrant & infallible didactic material that follows the same outline & serves as an inerrant, infallible commentary on L...
