three questions

1) Is Craig Lampe still alive?
2) If so, why is The Forbidden Book still available?

Good News about Protestants

3) Are you all Young Earth Creationists?

Hans: three questions

Hans,

Regarding your three questions...

1.) Craig Lampe died on August 5, 2021. I had a great business partnership with Craig for over 25 years, selling all of The Bible Museum’s materials on my website at GREATSITE.COM from 1996 until January of 2023.

2.) His son, Joel, took over their end of the business and very recently made it impossible for me to continue to work with him.
For this reason, their materials (The Forbidden Book, leaves, facsimiles) are no longer available on my website at GREATSITE.COM

3.) Why do you care whether we believe in a literal 7 astronomical day creation, versus a 7 figurative “day of the Lord” creation… as long as we believe God created everything as described in Genesis… what does it matter which side if that argument we fall upon? That discussion does not enter into our dealing in antique Biblical materials in any way, nor is it a topic of discussion in “The Forbidden Book”.

Re: Hans: three questions

2) I am happy that Joel is no longer providing you that erroneous book;
3) I am fairly glad to have proven, contrary to the expectations of Trent Horn, that to have your view of Church history is not an exclusive prerogative of Fundamentalists.

Thank you!

Hans: questions

Hans,

I really do not understand what you are saying.

You have stated that the book our organization published for 25 years, “The Forbidden Book” is erroneous? How is it erroneous?

You have stated that our “view of church history” is apparently bad and you are pleased that it is not exclusive to “Fundamentalists”? What does that mean?

What are all these negative comments about?

Who are you… what do you want… why are you emailing me to tell me that we are wrong about everything… but not explaining specifically what you are talking about?

Re: Hans: questions

OK. Some explanations are in order.

I came across The Forbidden Book in the format of a video, a film documentary.

I then wrote a refutation:

Answers about "The Forbidden Book" (my arguments why The Forbidden Book is erroneous).

I then had the idea to get in touch with Craig Lampe.

I did, and got an email from him, as you would have seen if you had clicked the previous link.

Good News about Protestants (it now also links to our correspondence).

And, as I am a Roman Catholic with a Fundamentalist view of exegesis, I am happy to show fellow Roman Catholics that your view of the Middle Ages is not coupled with Fundamentalist views about Genesis 1 to 11.

Does this explain things a bit better?

Re: Hans: questions

Hans,

What you have written in response to The Forbidden Book is a rambling bunch of nonsense.

Re: Hans: questions

Hope Joel had the good sense not to agree.

What's your main problem ...?

Re: Hans: questions

Was perhaps your main problem taking only ten minutes* to read it?

* note

I sent the link at 3:01 PM, he replied at 3:11 PM, same day. His opportunity to read a fairly long piece - 8431 words - was thus at the most 10 minutes.
