Hank Hanergraaff joins a cult

[Jermyn Davidson]

If we were discussing these adherents in the context of being the victim of Muslim terrorists, we would simply refer to them as Christians.

I like consistency.

I call them Christians.

Fine. When the media labels some Klan church a "Christian", are we going to allow that title to be ascribed to them without even as much a clearing our throats?

I'm an individual with relatives in the Eastern Orthodox, RCC, and Sede Vacante church. I can tell you without batting an eye, that they wouldn't call you a Christian. You and I are called Heterodox, and Protestants. Calling them Christians when discussing politics is mainly done to get the United States' Churchanity on board to read the newspaper.

So my question is how are the Evangelical believers taking this? Wasn't he supposed to be the chief of the Apologists?

I haven't been able to fund much. A couple websites are lamenting his apostasy, but the big names seem to be quiet.

I imagine they will just quietly move on.

Honestly, don't think he's been that big in a while.
