Those in Glass Churches …
I noticed that Steve Ray is mocking communion supplies that involve pre-packaged cup/wafer combinations (link – link to website he’s mocking). But it wasn’t so long ago when those in the Roman communion could generally only communicate under the species of bread – the people of that church being denied the symbol of Christ’s blood.…

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
I was amused to note one example of Rome’s improvisational informal magisterium at work to poach another Reformed slogan. It’s not one of the slogans that the first generation reformers used (Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Sola Deo Gloria), but one that became popular in the 17th century: “Ecclesia reformata quia semper…

Steve Ray and Magisterial Double Standards
Mr. Steve Ray, pilgrimage promoting papist, despite supposedly “fasting from blogging and blog reading for Lent,” has provided two recent blog posts in which he illustrates the fact that Romanist apologetics can impair one’s ability to think straight: a) According to Ray, Warren flip-flopped on homosexuality because he lacks a Magisterium (link); b) According to…

>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…

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…
