  • Why I'm Against the 150 Mile Fence Suggestion

    The Scriptures tell us how various family relations crimes should be punished (all verse references are to Leviticus 20): Cursing Mother or Father – Death (9) For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon…

  • The "Here I am" Girl or the "Where were you" Girl?

    As reported by the Vatican Information Service, Benedict XVI stated (on 18 May 2012): Mary of Nazareth is the woman of a full and total “Here I am” to the divine will. In her “Yes”, repeated even when faced with the sorrow of the loss of her child, we find complete and profound beatitude”. A)…

  • A Curious Dilemma

    A lot of American Presbyterians don’t believe that the papacy is the Antichrist. In fact, the American revisions to the Westminster Confession of Faith allow for both views (he is, and he is not). Confessional Lutherans, like Presbyterians who hold to the original WCF, consider the papacy/pope to be the Antichrist. One might think that…

  • Don't Sweat that History Stuff …

    Carl Trueman expresses his frustration with attempts to force Roman apologists to confront history: Thus, as all sides need to face empirical facts and the challenges they raise, here are a few we might want to consider, along with what seem to me (as a Protestant outsider) to be the usual Roman Catholic responses: Empirical…
