David Armstrong Assists James Swan while insulting him
In a recent post (link), Dave Armstrong attempts to take on James Swan, who has been establishing that Luther was taken out of context, and that it was made to appear that Luther said something he did not. Dave has (for some odd reason) misinterpreted Swan’s task as an, and I quote, “Effort to Liquidate…

The Pope’s Alleged Heresies
This website (link) catalogues 101 alleged heresies of Benedict XVI. Now, obviously, the RCC does not teach that popes are perfect. I wonder, though, whether any supporter of Ben16 has taken the time to debunk the list above, which – at first glance – appears to be documented with evidence from various sources. The list…

What Would the Apostle John Say?
This statue of Artemis And This statue of Hera are totally unlike This statue: So, while it is fair game to say that Greeks worshipped statues, do not suggest that the same is true of Catholics.
