This is funny! Norm Geisler is visited by the ghosts of inerrancy past, present, and future who try to prevent him from continuing his witch-hunt against Michael Licona. It includes a guest appearance by Bart D. Ehrman as well. Enjoy!

“I bid God’s blessing on him and His [sic.] work for the kingdom, praying that he will channel his considerable talent and zeal toward the more pressing need of defending Christianity against those who deny the fundamentals of the faith, not those who affirm them.”
~~ Norman Geisler on James White (Chosen But Free, Second Edition (Bloomington, MN: Bethany House, 2001), 263. (Last statement in the book)
My wife and I were pleased to do two voices in there.
@Nick: I saw that in the credits at the end. Well done!
Has Michael R. Licona considered the raising of many saints story in Matthew in light of questions of Markan priority? See this discussion:

P.S., The producer of the video above is the same J.P. Holding who talks a lot about genre but has yet to grasp the genre and literary milieu of Genesis 1, and continues to deny what ANE scholars, and fellow evangelicals like John Walton, see in Genesis 1. Instead, J.P. rails against “fundy atheist” “flat eathery” conspiracies. I hope J.P. can grow further, and acknowledge that perhaps it’s not even necessary to avow “creationism.” Over the years he’s at least come so far as to acknolwedge that he doesn’t care how old the earth is. Maybe if he studies Genesis 1 in light of its genre and literary millieu, and study other creation-related passages in the Bible that say way, he’ll eventually come to acknowledge that “creationism” might be no more than the genre the ancients used to speak about the cosmos, i.e., a genre of how things appeared to the ancient mind–that “kinds” were “created” as they presently “appeared,” that the earth was as flat as it appeared, that the breath, pounding blood, heart, and even his kidneys, appeared to constitute a human being’s “life,” and the heart and kidneys “direct” us, rather that silent internal organ, the brain, constituting the center of our nervous systems, our very consciousness, and directing our body, etc.
Edski,
You obviously need to get back to work and do your job. First of all, I have made NO statements regarding the “genre and literary milieu” of Genesis 1, nor have I “denied” anything said by Walton or anyone else on Genesis 1. I have in fact said NOTHING about that subject, because unlike you, I don’t chatter on about subjects that I don’t look into. If anything, by having Nick Peters post his review of Walton on my blog (11/1/2010) I have indicated that it is a view worthy of my readers’ consideration. So don’t go around spreading falsehoods.
Second, I have already flattened your arguments about the brain, and did so years ago. When did you plan to notice?
Third and last, again, get back to work…I’m sure your employer doesn’t appreciate you leaving blog comments (that don’t even have anything to do with the subject of the posting) during working hours. Not only that, this is clearly little more than your way of trying to get people to visit your blog. That’s not the least bit honest.
