Cambridge Theological Seminary

Cambridge Theological Seminary was a webshite pretending to be an institute of higher education. The site blatantly advertised a link to despite being a rather obvious collection of incoherent ravings by a fundamentalist madman. The site exhibited a stereotypical presentation of virtually every extreme fundamentalist belief, including homophobia, transphobia, creationism, Biblical literalism and other far-right bullshit in an annoying stew of web markup abuse. Despite ripping off the name and image of the real Cambridge, they bizarrely condemned everything about their namesake.Cambridge Theological Seminary International, Archived from the original at ministers-best-friend.com.
The site appeared to be the creation of a person "known by the web name of NewtonStein," who claimed that he was pastor of a church with over five thousand members and missionary to over fifty nations.ALL ABOUT US, "WELCOME!"

There is no evidence that this church, its ministry, or anything else claimed by the author ever existed.
==Pseudo-academics==
The site is completely void of academic material. Instead, they sell an alphabet soup of worthless "free"FREE Ordination and Honorary Degrees.

"degrees," including but not limited to "Bachelor of Divinity", "BSc in Creation Science", "ThB, Biblical Theology" and "DCC, Doctor of Christian Counseling".

==Pseudo-accreditation==
Cambridge Theological Seminary claimed accreditation from the International Agency of Independent Accreditation, an entity that they fabricated. They claimed that this entity accredited Hyles-Anderson College, Bob Jones University, and Liberty University, among others.IAIA Accreditation. Archived from the original at ministers-best-friend.com. None of these institutions claim accreditation from Cambridge's imaginary agency, because they are not lying about their accreditation status. Lying about another person or group is supposed to be sinful. This Bible verse makes it perfectly clear:
==Pseudo-seminary==
Cambridge Theological Seminary had a highly distorted view on what a seminary actually is. They have a rabid hatred for traditional seminaries and bible colleges, and they claim that seminaries are not "scriptural". They claim that because seminaries are not mentioned in the Bible and are not controlled by local churches, they are evil. These viewpoints are not surprising, as Cambridge is a diploma mill operated by scam artists and religious fanatics. 
Many seminaries are bringing master's degrees online. Most seminaries are set up like corporations to follow the law and to obtain accreditation that require the institutions be incorporated and recognized by the state or local jurisdiction.Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs at the United States Department of Education. Accreditation agencies are independent of the government. That is why the Association of Theological Schools, the Association of Biblical Higher Education and TRACS exist—they are legit accreditation agencies and independent of the government. Many independent Baptist ministers and church staff have degrees from accredited Bible colleges and seminaries, many of which are recognized by local churches. There are ministerial training programs offered by local churches for ordination as a pastor. If the Bible and church related topics are taught from the perspective of a denomination, what is the actual problem? If you are strong enough in your faith, you would not have to worry if someone gets a secular education.
==Politics==
To round out the crazy factor, the site dedicated a page to Sarah Palin, who was responsible in many ways for dooming John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008. The page mixes an incredible amount of Palin clickbait with an astounding assortment of racist, conspiratorial screeds aimed at Barack Obama and the usual assortment of links to fake divinity degrees and other evangelical nonsense.A "PRO-PALIN PRESIDENTIAL" Site The "QUEEN" is the "KING MAKER!"
