Class schedule, upcoming blog posts, etc.
So, this is what my Trinity class schedule will probably look like in the Fall:
| Course # | Hours | Name | Teacher |
| CH 5060 | 3.0 | American Church History | Woodbridge |
| OT 5000 | 4.0 | Intro to the Old Testament | Beitzel |
| ST 5102 | 3.0 | Theology II: Christ, Man, Sin & Salvation | Sung |
| CH 8911 | 1.0 | Colloquium in Historical Methodology I | Manetsch/Sweeney/Woodbridge |
| ID 5080 | 0.0 | Formation Group | Sweeney |
Like my table? Yeah, that’s a nifty HTML table. /flex
This schedule would put me in classes from 8:15 AM-3:00 PM on Mondays, 3:15-9:20 PM on Wednesdays, and 12:00 – 1:20 PM on Thursdays, which leaves pretty good chunks of time open for managing Harley and getting a part-time job. The CH 8911 class ends on October 14, reducing my Wednesday night classload to 6:00-9:20 PM.
Blogging happenings:
I’m working on a guest post for another LDS blog, compressing my journey with Mormonism and tackling the old “Are Mormons Christians? / Is Mormonism Christian?” issues. I’ll be exploring the question: does true saving faith in Christ “regenerate” a believer into accepting the Trinity? Does incorrect theology automatically mean damnation?
I’ve occasionally made statements on this blog expressing my disapproval of much of the evangelical counter-cult ministry, sometimes in very strong, condescending terms—and I apologize for none of it, btw. However, I haven’t always been very clear on whom I disapprove of, to what extent, and why. And that’s perhaps a little lazy of me.
Well, the laziness is coming to an end! I’ll be starting with Ed Decker, whom most counter-cult ministries have been fleeing from like a leper (of course, CARM still likes him). I mean, how bad do you have to be when even the Tanners are taking you to the woodshed?
Then I’ll be moving on to “Dr.” Walter Martin, whom most counter-cult ministries are still peculiarly fond of in spite of the fact that his doctorate was faker than Pamela Anderson’s boobs—and he lied about having one for years before he finally mailed in for the fake one (!). His devotees will tell me that his academic dishonesty when it comes to his credentials is irrelevant and I should just deal with his arguments. Anyone who buys that line of reasoning is so far gone down Short Bus Drive that there’s no help for them, but don’t worry. The many inaccuracies and blunders in Martin’s arguments will be brought to light as well.
I may or may not do these items as guest posts at LDS & Evangelical Conversations; I know Tim has similar feelings on Martin and Decker to myself, though he’s not nearly as much of an asshat about it as I am. I take great pride in my asshattery.
We’ll see where I go from there.
