"Universities give out honorary doctorates all the time."

As has been pointed out, you have a habit of trying to substitute one word/concept for another and hoping it will be accepted as the same thing. Once again, it's not going to work.

An honorary degree given by a university is one thing. A person falsely claiming to have a degree (whether honorary or earned) is quite another.

Murray claimed to have a degree from an accredited university after writing a dissertation on the book of Daniel. He said the degree came from Biola University in California. Biola University denies ever having a student named Arnold Murray, and, in fact, did not have a doctorate program during the timeframe in question.

How can you continue to excuse this lie?

I went ahead and did a search. I can't find anything about this other than from false websites that also say Shepherd's Chapel denies the Trinity, so no credible website has any information on this the best I can tell. What objective source are you getting this from?

It looks like someone put the story on wikipedia and even wikipedia, as liberal as they are, removed it for being unsubstantiated.

The best I can tell it's all from the same source, a guy from something called "coutercult" (slightly biased, I would say) claims he got it all from a receptionist at the chapel. Wow, receptionists are that informed, huh? lol

I would think that this would have sparked investigations from the big players, 60 minutes and the like, but looks like no one except the countercult guy has any information on it.

I'd guess he has a LARGE chunk of his life invested in it.
