The Refiner's Fire used to feature an entire series of challenges against an opinionated pantheist who calls herself "Acharya S" (real name "D. Murdock") - webmaster of Truth Be Known and a viper pit of blog called Christ Conspiracy that attracts a rag-tag mixture of atheists, pantheists and a subset of humanity who apparently have nothing better to do than to post hate-filled diatribes against believers in God.

After several years of featuring our rebuttals to some of Acharya's nonsensical charges against "Jesus", we have decided to utilize our space for more worthy causes. The driving force behind our decision was that we realized our arguments with Acharya were falling on deaf ears because the bottom line is, people are going to believe whatever they want to believe.

Besides, her assertions have been amply refuted by others, including J.P. Holding who wrote an analysis of Acharya's latest book, The Christ Conspiracy, and Mike Licona, a New Testament historian and Christian apologist who has successfully debunked Acharya's books: A Refutation of Acharya S's book, The Christ Conspiracy, and "An answer to your rebuttal titled, "A Rebuttal to Mike Licona's 'Refutation of The Christ Conspiracy'".

The only thing we can really do for people like "Acharya S" and her ilk is to keep them in prayer.

Matthew 10: 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Luke 9: 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
