Blair consults a Lawyer

Last updated on: August 9, 2014 at 6:24 pm   By William Hamblin

I just received this from Blair Hodges.  It is beyond bizarre! William Hamblin’s recent blog post at Patheos is a libelous misrepresentation of a personal conversation between Dan Peterson and I. It also attacks me on the grounds of my livelihood and employment. I don’t want to involve a lawyer but I will consider it if something is not done to rectify this. I am sending you each direct notice on the counsel of a lawyer to ask you to... Read more

“All of you are cowards!”

Last updated on: August 9, 2014 at 6:40 pm   By William Hamblin

Reports have reached me of a little incident at the FAIR conference.  Apparently Blair Hodges accosted Dan Peterson in the FAIR bookstore, and objected to Dan mentioning the resignation from the Church of Kirk Caudle, with a possible tacit allusion to the fact that Caudle’s podcast had once been sponsored by the Maxwell Institute. Hodges demanded an explanation for what Dan had written.  Dan said he had nothing more to say.  Hodges started calling him a coward, demanding a confrontation and explanation then and there.... Read more

FAIR Conference

Last updated on: August 6, 2014 at 6:28 pm   By William Hamblin

I assume that all of my readers are familiar with FAIR (the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research). If not, you should definitely take a look.  They are the leading LDS apologetics organization, providing a wide range of useful information and services. Among other things, they offer: A “wiki” of LDS apologetics covering all major issues. a regular blog They also sponsor an annual conference, with cutting edge LDS apologetics on many issues, which will be held August 7-8 in Provo, Utah.... Read more

How can they get it so wrong?

Last updated on: August 5, 2014 at 1:08 pm   By William Hamblin

Journalists are almost universally noted for their inability to understand the things they about which they report, but I remain amazed that I can still remain amazed at their willful ignorance, as demonstrated here in an article on Women and the Priesthood at Sunstone. Read more

Putting Putti in Their Place

Last updated on: August 3, 2014 at 5:39 pm   By William Hamblin

No one has ever, for obvious reasons, confused me with the Lord God Almighty.  (Though some have accused me of being his counterpart.)  But if I were, I would definitely find something slightly more awesome than Putti to surround my throne. Read more

Interpreter

Last updated on: August 3, 2014 at 4:48 pm   By William Hamblin

I assume that most of my readers know of the Interpreter Foundation, it’s journal and web page.  Today marks the second anniversary of the organization and first publication of the foundation, which was founded to fill the gap created by the “new direction” of the Maxwell Institute.  (It is edifying to compare and contrast the quantity, quality, and substance of the publications of the two institutes in the past two years.) If you don’t subscribe, you should.  Not only does it... Read more

Does God Know the Past?

Last updated on: July 21, 2014 at 10:50 pm   By William Hamblin

The claims of some liberal LDS that God might choose to reveal “inspired fiction” in a historical guise to a prophet raises some interesting questions. 1- Does God know the past?  Traditional theology generally asserts that God is omniscient, and therefore knows the past (among other things) with perfect knowledge.  God’s unique knowledge of the past may be modeled in at least two ways.  First, if God is immortal, he knows the past because he has both experienced and participated... Read more
