The Weakest Argument Against the Spiritual Presence
I recently received the pleasure of a comment from someone who has been following this blog for a long time, a reader who uses the handle “Orthodox” (“O” for short). O doesn’t necessarily represent Eastern Orthodoxy, but he does provide comments against the Reformed position. O writes: “In too many places to list, Augustine says…

Responses to Audience Questions About the Substitionary Atonement Debate
I’ve received a couple of comments on the Substitutionary Atonement debate. One of the commenters was someone using the nick “Michael”. Michael asked: 1) What do you mean by “wrath of God?” Is it the same thing as Godforsakenness or is there a distinction? Has there ever been a case or will there ever be…

Morality and Piranhas
This video responds to a video by YouTube user Thunderf00t, entitled “Why do people laugh at Creationists? (part 29)” In my video, I explain a few of the fundamental flaws in the argument that Thunderf00t uses. Thunderf00t argues that piranhas are vicious killing machines, but they do not (generally) attack each other. Thunderf00t asserts that…

Reginald Tries Again
I was glad to see that Reginald took another shot at the issue of important Roman Catholic bishops publicly going wildly wrong on doctrine (link). Unfortunately, he still doesn’t quite get it. First, he argues that fallibility of bishops does indeed explain why they sometimes get doctrine wildly wrong. No doubt. Again, no one suggested…
