Christianity Today’s Apology, and the Failure of Credentialism Theology

Below is a sneak peek of this INSIDER content.

On April 14, 2025, Christianity Today published an article by Daniel Silliman titled “Was Jesus Crucified with Nails?” that questioned whether Jesus was nailed to the cross or merely tied to it. The piece sparked immediate backlash for its speculative premise, which seemed to dismiss clear biblical evidence. I responded on April 19 with a Substack article on Insight to Incite, dismantling Silliman’s claims with historical, theological, and scriptural arguments.

    “JACK” WILLKE, PRO-LIFE DEMAGOGUE DIES AT 89

    Silliman is absolute trash. CT needs to list that they have an abortionist writing articles against Christ and claiming he wasn’t crucified. Clearly he is a Jew trying to revice the swoon theory. Whoever donates to CT are NOT Christians.

      Yes sir.
      Christianity Today has been a bad joke for years
      Thanks for calling them out, and being not afraid to call out the synagogue of satan.

    INFANTICIDE STILL NOT A GROWING MOVEMENT: 30 YEARS OF PRO-LIFE FUDGING

    This man is certainly going to hell. If Russell Moore doesn’t fire him then it proves they are a gay couple.

  3. this argument against the t cross is regular Jehovah’s witness Fare. I remain convinced of the t cross, but I also think it’s not all that important. Psalm 22 prophesize nails it seems, everything else is just the way the Messiah was supposed to go down.
