Transcript of Veneration of Mary Debate
The following is a transcript of the “Veneration of Mary” Debate that Mr. William Albrecht (GNRHead) and I conducted with Mr. Lane Chaplin moderating (the audio may be found here). Thanks very much to Matthew Lankford for providing this transcript. I’ve tried to smooth out irregularities of speech as much as possible without deviating from…

"We Don't Worship Statues"
How many times have I heard the line, “We don’t worship statues”! It seems that whenever one brings up the subject of idolatry with a Roman Catholic, they invariably think it is a defense that they are not venerating the statue itself, but the thing it represents. My intuitive response has typically been: do you…

Non-English Reformation-Era Bibles – Index Page
The Reformation in the British isles was quite remarkable. In fact, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that other nations and tongues in Europe also experienced the Reformation. That said, I thought I’d try to track down some Reformation-era Bibles in other languages than English and provide those to the interested reader.…

From Seventy to More than a Million?
Two posts ago, I pointed out how Mr. Camping’s chronology falls apart under Scriptural scrutiny over something as simple as the name of Moses’ father (link). In the immediately preceding post, I demonstrated that a rebuttal based on there needing to be 430 years in Egypt was wrong based on the plain teachings of Scripture…

Mormonism 101 – Index Page
In 2007, Dr. White provided a helpful series on Mormonism, entitled, “Mormonism 101.” Until now, there does not seem to have been a handy index of those posts. I’ve provided such an index below, using the headlines that Dr. White provided at the time. I’ve also thrown in a special item that was released on…

Mary Crowned in Revelation?
In a previous point (link), I pointed out the glaring reality of Marian idolatry and the fact that such idolatry was unknown and foreign to Tertullian. I finally have received one of the responses that I expected to receive. This response comes from someone who posted using the name “John”: Mary is depicted with a…

Why Say Mass Sacrifices Christ Again?
Luka asked: If You truly understand how both biblical statements: that Christ died once for sins, and that -at the same time- He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, are simultaneously correct, then why do You persist in Your conviction that Mass or Liturgy sacrifice Christ “again”? 😐 I answer: a)…

How then Four Hundred, Thirty Years?
One person asked (anonymously, against which I have nothing): Hi Turretin Fan, I just have one quick question about the Camping Jenga article. If Amram was Aaron’s dad, how on earth do we account for the 430 year sojourn in Egypt? Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I answer: The Israelites did…

Paul Helm on Calvin and the Stoics
If you are interested in the relationships, both similarities and differences, between Calvinism and Stoicism, I highly recommend Paul Helm’s excellent recent philosophical post on Calvin and the Stoics (link). The article is also helpful in terms of explaining how Calvinism is not fatalism, a pit into which William Lane Craig, with many of his…
