Gospel Disproof #46: On the proper use of beer and religion
May 2nd, 2012 
Deacon Duncan In the book of Proverbs, chapter 31, we are instructed as to the proper use of beer and wine. Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. Part of the attraction of alcoholic beverages is [...]
Gospel Disproof #45: A self-fulfilling prophecy
April 30th, 2012 Deacon Duncan Back when I was an active member in the Church of Christ, I got myself in trouble with the pastor and the elders because I pointed out some discrepancies I’d found between what the church teaches and what it was actually practicing. For example, one of their big teachings is that the church has to [...]
Gospel Disproof #44: The Bride of Christ and her abusive husband
April 16th, 2012 Deacon Duncan [Here's an excerpt from this week's On Guard post at Evangelical Realism. The post is about William Lane Craig's defense of Hell, but this one part makes a nice Gospel Disproof all by itself. I've added an introductory paragraph at the beginning, but the rest is from ER.] One of the big inconsistencies in the [...]
Gospel Disproof #43: The hallucination hypothesis
March 26th, 2012 Deacon Duncan Over at the Evangelical Realism blog, we’ve just finished looking at William Lane Craig’s attempt to discredit the hypothesis that the postmortem appearances of Jesus were actually just hallucinations on the part of the disciples. He gave it his best shot, and used some of the best debating tactics he knows, but couldn’t quite pull [...]

Well, fortunately there’s a simple test you can do that cannot fail to tell you whether or not such a God exists. Ready? All you [...]
Gospel Disproof #41: The Case of the Lying Guards
March 6th, 2012 Deacon Duncan I’ve been enjoying a stimulating conversation with Jayman on the topic of resurrection, and one of the things I’ve realized as a result is that the story of the guards in Matt. 28 is unmistakably a fraudulent addition invented long after the time of the alleged Resurrection. See if you can spot the clues that [...]
Gospel Disproof #40: The law of sin and death
March 2nd, 2012 Deacon Duncan This may surprise some of you, but according to the Bible, Christians are actually supposed to be free from sin. Sure, temptation may still be around, and our mortal bodies may still be subject to the lusts of the flesh. But thanks to Jesus’ death on the cross, those things no longer have any power [...]
Gospel Disproof #39: The Sign of Jonah
February 29th, 2012 Deacon Duncan In Matthew 12, Jesus makes a prophecy concerning his own burial. Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves for asign; and yet nosign will be given to it but the [...]
Gospel Disproof #38: The guards at the tomb
February 27th, 2012 Deacon Duncan At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, there’s an interesting story that appears nowhere else in the Bible. According to Matthew, the chief priests were worried that the disciples might steal Jesus’ body to fake a resurrection, so they went to Pilate and got permission to post a guard on the tomb. When Jesus rose from [...]
