We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

The Descent of William Lane Craig


The following is from Haven Ministries’ “The Haven Newsletter,” April 2022. I think the author is Bill Honsberger.

So many bad guys—so little time…


Again, the problem with this item is that there is always way too many bad guys.

New Apostolic Reformation heretics, Hillsong and Bethel false teachers.

Filipino heretics like Quiboloy (who proclaims himself to be Jesus—but is now wanted by the US FBI for sex trafficking!) and others. However, someones I have long respected has started the long painful path towards full apostasy I fear. William Lane Craig has been one of the most solid Christian philosophers/theologians in the US for decades. Sadly, he has recently come out and declare the Genesis account to be a mere myth and that no thinking person could take it seriously. I kept watching the video hoping that this time he would just laugh and say that he was just representing the bad guys, but no. In fact, when you watch he is literally mocking the historic position of accuracy of the Lord’s word through Moses. You know, the one that Jesus and Paul quoted from! Please pray for him. I hope that someone else of good repute can reach out to him and that he would repent from this.

It is so sad when people like Craig don't finish strong. What weak faith to think that the Bible has such foundational errors!

Sadly, this has been his position for several years, if not longer. His primary argument for the existence of God depends on big-bang cosmology to demonstrate that the universe had a beginning and so a cause for beginning, requiring an uncaused cause. But big bang cosmology requires billions of years and gets the order of creation wrong, if you believe Genesis 1-3. So it’s a natural and logical conclusion based on his non-biblical philosophy to say that Genesis is myth.

He trusts naturalism and philosophy more than the word of God. Truly sad.

Here is a four minute video where Lane talks about some of this. 5 minutes. Genesis as Mythohistory.

Thanks for that link, John. It's hard to believe that Craig is teaching this.

If you cannot believe the first 11 chapters of Genesis, why would you bother believing anything after it? WLC has been more or less a deist as long as I have been aware.
