  • James 2:24 Debate with William Albrecht

    Roman Catholics shouldn’t cite James 2:24, because it doesn’t mean what they think it means. Last Saturday I conducted a debate with William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) on the topic of the meaning of James 2:24. (link to mp3) I hope you enjoy it, particularly the cross-examination section. With all due respect to Mr. Albrecht, I…

  • Early Father Worshiping with Icons?

    I was listening to a recent panel discussion with William Albrecht and David Withun and a caller called in and asked if they could name any father before the 300s that used images in the church. Albrecht pointed to Tertullian, in his work on Modesty. In that work he makes reference to the image of…

  • Two Recent Debates

    I recently did two very different debates: 1. Is the Father Alone Almighty God? David Barron vs. TurretinFan (link to debate page)(direct link to mp3) 2. Intercession of the Saints – William Albrecht vs. TurretinFan (link to debate page)(direct link to mp3). I’d like to provide more comments on the debates, but I lack time…

  • Sola Fide Debate – William Albrecht

    William Albrecht and I recently debated the topic of Sola Fide (link to mp3).  I hope it will be edifying.  I ended up sticking pretty closely to my previously planned affirmative constructive (link to text of affirmative constructive).  I only used a little material from my previously planned affirmative rebuttal, because although Mr. Albrecht threw…

  • William Albrecht (GNRHead) Index

    Since I have done a dozen moderated live debates with Mr. William Albrecht (aka GNRHead), I figured it is time to create an index page for my interactions with him. The first section of the page documents the debates, both those on Marian Dogmas and Other Topics. The second section of the page documents the…

This is in addition to the comments he submitted to me by email, and which are already addressed in the original post via an update to that post. I’ve provided the…

  • Canon Debate – Are Tobit, Baruch, and other Deuterocanonicals Inspired Scripture?

    On August 12, 2010, I debated on the topic of the canon of Scripture with Mr. William Albrecht (Roman Catholic). The issue was whether the Apocrypha (what the Roman Catholics call the Deuterocanonicals) are inspired Scripture. I demonstrated that they could not be, since they make various mistakes, particularly focusing on Baruch and Tobit. Additionally,…

  • Papal Infallibility Debate with William Albrecht

    This past week I debated Mr. William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) on the subject of Papal Infallibility. The specific question was whether Vatican I was correct regarding papal infallibility. Naturally, I answered the question in the negative. Here’s the video. http://www.youtube.com/p/F434D340E8B6E7A1?hl=en_US&fs=1 (link to mp3) – TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • >Canon Debate with William Albrecht

    >Yesterday, Mr. William Albrecht (Roman Catholic) and I (Reformed) debated the topic of the Canon of Scripture, specifically the question of whether the so-called Deuterocanonical books and parts of books are Scripture (link to mp3). The most interesting part of the debate, as I believe Mr. Albrecht would agree, were the four cross-examination segments immediately…
