Veneration of Images Debate with William Albrecht
On December 2, 2010, William Albrecht and I debated the topic: “Is the Veneration of Images Sinful?” I took the affirmative position and Mr. Albrecht took the negative position. Below I’ve provided the Youtube version and mp3 of the debate, as well as some very important notes. (link to mp3 for the debate) I relied…

Ergun Caner Parody
There is a “Dr. Ergun Caner” parody page on Youtube. It pokes some fun at the real Dr. Ergun Caner. Obviously, what Dr. Caner is doing in embellishing his autobiography is not funny. Nevertheless, this parody is at least drawing attention to the apparent attempted cover-up by Liberty University and Dr. Ergun Caner. Please keep…

Thoughts on Pseudonymity
Richard at Philosophy, et cetera has some interesting thoughts on respecting pseudonymity (link). I think most folks on the net agree with his primary conclusion with a small minority of vengeful folks falling into his proposed alternative. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

Luther: Justification is a Stand-or-Fall Article of the Christian Faith
David Waltz has sparked my interest afresh in the quotation allegedly from Luther that Justification is a doctrine upon which the church stands or falls (link to Waltz’s article). I agree that the expression may not be Luther but is easily derivable from Luther’s teachings. Waltz has traced it back to Valentin E. Löscher in…

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…

Response to Paul Hoffer’s Comments
Someone [Mr. James Swan] directed me to the comment box of an entry of David Waltz’s blog where Mr. Hoffer has been providing some information and some misinformation (source). I’ll respond to Mr. Hoffer’s comments more or less line by line: Hoffer: “One of the problems with Mr. Fan’s (would he be considered a Pseudo-Turrettini…

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…

Pseudonymity and the Calvinists
In this particular venue, I publish under a pseudonym. That does not go over well with lots of people. It is particularly amusing, though, for me to hear “Calvinists” complaining about my use of a pseudonym. Calvin apparently wrote under at least three pseudonyms: (1) Alcuinus (2) Charles d’Espeville (3) Martinus Lucanius (see here for…

Gregory Thaumaturgus – The First Homily on the Annunciation to the Holy Virgin Mary – Pseudographic?
In a previous post we investigated the possibility that a widely used quotation attributed to Athanasius may be spurious. (link) Now, at the request of my debate opponent in the upcoming Sola Scriptura debate, Mr. Bellisario, I have turned my attention to another alleged quotation about Mary. This one is by someone my average reader…
