Speaking of B. B. Warfield and Other Interesting Links

Paul Helm has a great essay on how Charles Hodge and B. B. Warfield recommended that Christian scholars handle difficult Bible passages and various controversies.    Click here: Helm's Deep: Analysis Extra: 'The Phenomena'.

Logos is bringing out a twenty-volume set of Warfield's works.  This set (Libronix) includes the ten-volume "works" and ten other separate publications, including Counterfeit Miracles, Plan of Salvation and Faith and Life.  This should be very helpful.

A noted Islamic cleric has ruled that the legal age for sex is nine.  No, I'm not kidding.   Remember, Mohammed married a six-year old.   As Muslims see it, there are two issues involved.  One is the marriage contract itself--which has no minimum age.   The second matter is the legal age for consummation of the contracted marriage, which this cleric regards as age nine.  As Islam spreads into the West, there are going to be more and more conflicts like this one.  What happens when a Muslim man is arrested by the local police for statutory rape (for sexual relations with a minor), when that minor is his wife, and when his religion (Islam) sees absolutely nothing wrong with sex between an adult male and a girl who is not yet of majority.   Wait . . .  Didn't that just happen in Texas and Utah with the FLDS?  Click here: Age no barrier to marriage in Islam

Finally, did you know that a huge world-wide survey shows that the world's leading intellectuals are all Muslims.  I guess that is what happens when you conduct such a survey in Arabic.  Click here: Middle East Online

The presence of Al Gore on this list should raise serious doubts about its validity.

When the FLDS deal was boiling recently, I speculated that if Robert Palmer were to take up bluegrass music, those ladies could be his new video girls.

Muslims are smart people. I wish there were more of them around. Same with Mormons, they're such nice and dependable people; my wife and I need more babysitters so we can get out more.

Muslims are great, until they decide to act like Mohammed or follow the Qur'an.

"Moderate" Muslim Fetullah Gulen came in first on the list of public intellectuals. Good thing he's a moderate. Wait, nevermind:
