Some Christian Apologists Fail the Test

[DHK]

Sounds like a 'carnal christian'.

He may well have been. I will leave that up to the Lord.

C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Malcomb Muggeridge, and Mortimer J. Adler, are four examples of the best-known intellectuals and scholars of our time who became Christian apologists.

Apparently we all live in between 1920 and 1960...none of these are "best-known" nor are they apologists of our time.

The evidence I cite convinces me that none of these four men, and others like them, have never fully grasp the certitude of Scripture.

Always good to come to your conclusion without citing evidence. This is a disappointing point. I'm no great fan of Lewis or Muggeridge (frankly I think the only person citing him anymore is Ravi Zacharias who is still using lectures from the 1980s.) I can honestly say I've never read Adler either.

One additional point and I'll be done: keep in mind none of these individuals cited would be considered evangelical today.

Lewis - Anglican
Chesterton - Roman Catholic (later Anglican)
Muggeridge - Anglican
Adler - Jewish, then Roman Catholic

That said, I am curious what the OP thinks about the present day apologists, and not these old dinosaurs, such as:
William Lane Craig
Ravi Zacharias
JP Moreland
John Warwick Montegomery

If the OP is familiar with them.

I wonder what the writer of the OP thinks of:

Francis Schaeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Karl Barth
F.F. Bruce
Carl Henry
E. Stanley Jones
Jurgen Moltmann

just to name a few.

George, do not be disheartened by the apparent lack of acceptance of your position. The wonderful world of Christendom is overrun with humanistic, ecumenical hogwash. The whole world is totally depraved, including the Most Right Reverend Doctors, Popes and Potentates. See John 3:5 in context.

Denominational point: true Baptists are not Protestants as defined by the religious powers that be(Rome and her daughters). Consequently, true Baptists are not a denomination. There is no such entity as: The Baptist Church; by the same token, there is no Universal church nor Christian Church. The first churches were called by: The Way, That Way, Churches of Galatia, churches in homes, etc.
There is nothing universal visible or invisible--but rather specific assemblies in specific places. Most of Christendom skoff at such notions.

Thank God for your input George. There are at least two of us still standing. It is OK--the inquisition is over--kind of. Where are those who will preach John 14:6--to the death?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Bro. James
