Vanilla Christianity

I like to keep up on James White's apologetics blog. Take a look ("On How Theology Affects Apologetics"). He has an interesting entry from yesterday. I'll quote just a little of it:

"May I suggest that our desire to see Muslims come to know Christ should only heighten our concern for accuracy in our proclamation of biblical truth? Vanilla Christianity is not what Muslims need to hear. Biblical, thorough, accurate, consistent Christianity is the only antidote to Islam."

Jim is responding to a suggestion that we ought not to be debating fellow believers when the need to witness to non-believers is so great. I especially liked his label, "vanilla Christianity," which fits well with our discussion here of church culture.
