Veneration of Mary Debate – Thoughts on Reflection – Part 2
Not every point that Mr. Albrecht raised during the debate was as unusual as his “titular form” argument addressed in my previous comment (link). For example, Mr. Albrecht made at least some oblique reference to one typical argument that we hear from Roman Catholics: the argument that Jesus honored his mother consistent with Jewish law.…

Veneration of Mary Debate – Thoughts on Reflection – Part 1
There were a few issues that arose during the Veneration of Mary Debate that I thought could use a little attention. Also, I see that Mr. Albrecht has posted some thoughts of his own regarding the debate (although I haven’t yet listened to his thoughts … I’ll save that for a later segment). One issue…

Veneration of Mary Debate with William Albrecht (aka GNRHead)
This is a debate that was conducted on 25 April 2009 between TurretinFan and William Albrecht (aka GNRHead) on the topic of the Veneration of Mary and its Biblical Support (or lack thereof). http://www.youtube.com/p/D865CBCDF669817D&hl=en&fs=1 At some later point I would like to provide some further comments on this debate.

>Peddling Imitation Patristics – Ray’s At it Again
>I have almost started to feel sorry for Mr. Ray. He keeps peddling the same snake oil, and it is hard to say whether this is simply because he lacks the acumen or patience to deal honestly with the Early Church Fathers or whether it is because he is simply the sort of person who…

Misquoting Gregory the Wonderworker
In a previous series (link to series index), we documented Steve Ray (and others) misquoting Athanasius (i.e. citing a spurious, or (at best) dubious, work as though it were authentic). Mr. Ray’s inaccurate citations, though, are not limited to Athanasius. Mr. Ray also misquotes Gregory Thaumaturgus (Thaumaturgus means Wonderworker). In particular, Mr. Ray quotes from…

Response to Jay Dyer on Calvinism (Part 2 of 13)
This is part 2 of the thirteen part series in response to Jay Dyer. The previous part may be found here (link). Jay Dyer says:1) “[A consistent Calvinist must be] Nestorian, in that the Logos cannot assume a fallen human nature.” I answer: a) The Calvinist Position (whether right doctrine or error let Scripture decide)…

Response to Benedict XVI on Christmas
No, Benedict XVI did not visit this humble blog. No head of state (to my knowledge) has visited this blog. Nevertheless, on December 31, 2008, Benedict XVI provided some comments that are (perhaps) worth addressing: The birthday of Christ, which we are currently celebrating, is entirely suffused with the light of Mary and, even as…

I’ll respond to his comments line-by-line, leaving off only the last two sentences in which he states his opinion regarding the wisdom of my posting my previous post. I apologize that the reader will note occasional changes…
