Charles Hastings Collette on the Canon of the Fathers
Collette wrote: Romanism is full of inconsistencies! Again, with the assumed attribute of infallibility, it is strange that the Roman Church has never authoritatively declared which are the genuine productions of the Fathers, that we may know with certainty what is the faith of the Church, and precisely to know what we should believe. Except…

Some Church Fathers on the Atonement

Limited Atonement – Respone to Albrecht

This video is a response from Mr. Albrecht to an earlier video I had made responding to the Youtuber “OneTrueChurch”. My video response is below, if one simply scrolls down. Mr. Albrecht criticizes my video…

Limited Atonement – Response to OneTrueChurch
In the following video, I respond to a video from “OneTrueChurch” on the topic of Calvinism and Limited Atonement (link). OneTrueChurch calls (in the title of his video) Calvinism a “Heresy” although he does not explain why he thinks that, and picks on Limited Atonement as key to the whole issue of Calvinism (much to…
