Can We Say "God Bless You" To Roman Catholics?
The subject question is one that is posed by Mr. William Albrecht’s latest video (link). The question is an interesting one. On the one hand, we certainly do wish and pray and act for the good of Roman Catholics. A substantial number of the posts on this blog of late have been directed toward Roman…

Origen – Not a Papist
Origen was not a papist, not a person who held to the modern Roman Catholic doctrine of the papacy. Origen interpreted Matthew 16:18 more like a modern Reformed believer would interpret the passage, and actually a lot like the way that Augustine interpreted the passage. Thus, in the following video, I respond to Mr. Albrecht’s…

Steve Ray Continues to Endorse Albrecht
I wasn’t overly surprised, but I was amused to see that Steve Ray is continuing to endorse William Albrecht (aka GNRHead): “Here is a picture of me with William Albrecht, a Catholic apologist who can [sic] to the conference to spend some time with me. He is a good guy and a good apologist for…

Albrecht vs. Augustine on the Bodily Presence – Further Rebuttal
William Albrecht has responded to a short video (technically it is just audio plus a slideshow) series I did demonstrating the obvious fact that Augustine did not believe that Jesus is bodily present with us today, although the divine presence of Jesus is with us (clip 1 / clip 2)(Albrecht’s Response – part 1a, 1b,…

No End in Sight for Misquotation of Athanasius
After posting some updates to my original article (link), I stopped by Mr. Albrecht’s video page, hoping against hope that Mr. Albrecht might have had the sense to apologize for his own (and his fellow apologists’) misquotation of Pseudo-Athanasius as Athanasius. My hopes were dashed. Instead, I found a new video in which: He repeats…

Athanasius Misquotation Index Page
This page is designed to serve as an index for the discussion of the quotation of the so-called “Homily of the Papyrus of Turin” by various Romanist apologists. At first it will be a bit skeletal, but I hope to fill it out over time, depending on the level of response generated. I would be…

Still Misquoting Athanasius as Steve Ray’s Assistant Fails Again
This debacle began with my original article (link), continued with a first response from Ray/Albrecht (link), and now I am sad to see that rather than correct his quotation of a spurious work attributed to Athanasius, the man who Steve Ray has set forth to defend Mr. Ray’s miscitation of a spurious source (Mr. William…

Response to Steve Ray on the Pseudographic Papyrus of Turin
Introduction As you may recall, we recently identified a spurious quotation from Athanasius that a number of apologists for Rome had been using, including Mr. Steve Ray. Sadly, rather than correct his error and be honest with his readers, Mr. Ray has chosen to pretend the problem doesn’t exist, directing his readers, once again, to…

Misquoting Athanasius
It’s very popular among Rome’s apologists today, to make claims that famous church fathers, those that “Protestants” would have heard of, held to the same views as Rome teaches today. Unfortunately for Catholicism, history is not her friend. So, while occasionally a church father or two will provide some seemingly helpful material for the apologist…

Madrid vs. Augustine on Bodily Presence
In a recent post on his blog (link), Mr. Madrid took the time to respond (without naming me) to a post I had presented on the Alpha and Omega Ministries web site http://www.aomin.org/ – but Mr. Madrid couldn’t actually address Augustine’s comment, opting instead to rely on his own assertion and a number of pasted…
