The basic dishonesty of Jeff Durbin and Apologia Church

Jeff Durbin is a 5-point Calvinist apologist who co-pastors a church with Dr. James White.  Durbin also has a YouTube channel, Apologia Studios, and operates the https://apologiastudios.com website.

For years I've been posting comments on the videos Jeff Durbin uploads to YouTube.  Since I'm usually signed in, I always see my previous comments.  No issue.

Then one day I signed out, then went back to the comments, and suddenly, all of my comments from the past few years were gone.  Apparently, YouTube stupidly wants people who are signed in, to have the impression their comments are still present even if in fact the channel-operator has deleted them.  You have to sign out of your email and YouTube accounts, then go back and look, before you notice that the prior comments were deleted in the past.

My posted criticisms of Durbin have never alleged any falsehood about Durbin, they merely point out how Durbin is both incorrect and hypocritical in so many ways despite his natural propensity toward dogmatism.

I am therefore reasonable to conclude that if anybody thinks Durbin is a great apologist, its because he does a consistent job of destroying the evidence indicating how very deceived he is.

Gee, how easy would it be to look smart if you were always  destroying proof that other people were criticizing you?

What if I had a YouTube channel, posted many videos critical of Christianity, and none of the thousands of comments was significantly critical because I constantly delete the criticisms I cannot answer?

Would you continue to rave about how smart of a counter-apologist I am?  I'm guessing "no".

Bart Ehrman, like thousands of other skeptics, uses Mark 3:21 and John 7:5 to argue that Jesus' virgin birth (VB) is fiction.  Jason Eng...
