Hebrews 1:8 – A Proof of Jesus’ Divinity
This is a response to a video (link) that seems to suggest that we cannot use Hebrews 1:8 to establish the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. I respectfully but firmly disagree, for the reasons I set forth in more detail in video (sorry, audio only, plus a slideshow in case you must watch something).…

Wisdom on Lying
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 17:7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. Proverbs 10:18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. Psalm 120:2 Deliver my soul,…

Bellisario on Contraception (Again!)
Contraception seems to be a very hot topic for Mr. Bellisario, as he has yet another post on it on his blog (link). Let’s examine what he says: Turretin Fan has posted an audio response to my earlier article on contraception. He claims that since there are not any anathemas attached to the statements by…

Bellisario vs Portuguese Bishops – An Audio/Video Response
Bellisario has tried to respond to my previous post (link to Bellisario, link to my previous post). I now respond by video (just audio, but with a mostly unrelated slideshow on top of it). This video discusses the fact that Catholicism cannot provide unity on issues like contraception. We sometimes hear claims that Catholicism’s magisterium…

Contrasting Views on Contraceptive Devices
Although some people (mostly conservative Romanists) would like you to think that the Roman Catholic Church has only one view on contraceptives, the issue is actually one on which there is a degree of disagreement, as illustrated in the following two articles: On the “pro” side, Manuel Clemente, Bishop of Porto (link to article). “Speaking…

Why Women are Leaving Men for Other Women
The headline of this post is the same as a recent headline in the “Lifestyle” section of MSN (link to article – Caution Inappropriate Subject Matter at Link). The article tries to take a naturalistic approach, focusing essentially on biological explanations. For example, the article quotes Lisa Diamond, Ph.D., as stating that regarding a woman’s…

Works of Cyril of Alexandria (in Greek) – Index Page
I realize that the Opera Omnia of Cyril of Alexandria (lived from about A.D. 375 to about A.D. 444) may not be the thing you were hoping to find today, but one never knows when one will need to refer to the Greek originals. When that time comes, you should be able to find the…
