  • Let's Dig a Bit Deeper into the Tangled Webs

    Recall that Dave wrote: ***QUOTATION*** Turretinfan” has recently taken to claiming not only that I am not a “real” Catholic (because I don’t answer every question about my faith the way he ignorantly demands that it should be answered), but that I also have supposedly not “apparently” defined the word Christian anywhere.

    ““Turretinfan” has recently taken to claiming not only that I am not a “real” Catholic (because I don’t answer every question about my faith the way he ignorantly demands that it should be answered), but that I also have supposedly not “apparently” defined the word Christian anywhere. He even uses this as one of his…

  • I stand corrected – Dave HAS defined Christianity

    Here’s a link to his post explaining that he has defined Christianity! (link) I stand corrected. And, of course, Dave’s definition includes those who are under the wrath of God and the Apostles Peter and Paul, according to the Roman Catholic Church. -Turretinfan P.S. And of course, there’s beautiful irony in Dave’s first comment on…

  • Why isn’t Dave Armstrong a Consistent Catholic?

  • A Response to InternetMonk regarding Reformation Day

    Caveat: I’ve never been a big fan of “Reformation Day,” although I’ve been “Reformed” for a long time. I’m still not a big fan. I’m responding to InternetMonk not so much to disagree (though I certainly do at times) but to highlight some good points he makes, and to distinguish the good points from the…

  • More on the Spirit’s Testimony

    In an earlier post (link) I had identified some timely articles on the Reformation view of the testimony of the Spirit. Here are two further timely articles on the same theme (Doug Wilson) and (Steven J. Camp). -Turretinfan To God be the Glory!
