Some Lightly Shredded Albrecht
Mr. William Albrecht (aka GNRHead) is an apologist promoted and endorsed by Steve Ray (a lay apologist and pilgrimage tour guide who frequently appears on the “Catholic Answers” radio program). By way of background, I should point out that I am not usually this harsh in my criticism of Internet videos. I recognize that a…

Gospel Poetry
The following video provides some Gospel poetry. It is in a fairly modern style – what would be considered “frestyle rap.” http://www.youtube.com/v/dPZlzDTdSsE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&fs=1 I am not sure the context where this came from and I don’t even know the name of the man bearing witness to the truth of the Gospel. This is a good message,…

James White is Not A Hyper-Calvinist
I am surprised I have to put this in writing. Dr. James White, a leading Calvinist apologist, is not a hyper-calvinist. He is a Calvinist. He is a five point Calvinist. Other Calvinists recognize this. A few folks who would be classified as “Amyraldians” or “Four-Point Calvinists” because they deny the doctrine of the Limited…

What Has Rome to Do With Mecca?
Occasionally, I point out that one of the biggest reasons to reject the doctrines of Rome, is that Vatican II dogmatically taught that God and Allah are the same: that Muslims worship the one true God. As well, Vatican II teaches the Jews worship the one true God. This doctrine is false. Those who reject…

Imaginary Patristic Quotation Regarding Mary?
Sometimes I like to read what “the other side” has to say about issues like the so-called Immaculate conception. I happened to come across the following argument in a book by Cardinal Lambruschini, who nearly became pope but was beaten out by Pius IX: St. Cyril of Alexandria, who flourished in the fifth century, expresses…

Married Priest Movement on the Rise
One of the standard objections to the Papists has been that they violate Scriptures by forbidding their “priests” and bishops from marrying. Scripture not only permits the marriage of ordinary folks but of elders/bishops and deacons, the servants of the church. Scripture not only permits such marriage, but views it as the norm: not that…

The Video Everyone is Watching
The following is a reaction video provided by Dr. White regarding the recent election. It has had a surprising (to me) resonation within the blogosphere. If you haven’t already seen it, I would encourage you to watch it. I don’t endorse everything he has to say, but he makes a lot of good points.

Ridiculous Accusations Refuted
I read a touching testimonial today about the apparent conversion of a four-year-old child (link). There would be no particular reason for me to blog this (as wonderful as it is), except for the fact that those under the power of sin have responded by accusing this woman of “child abuse.” Why? Because: a) She…

Free Sermons from a Famous Pastor
I’m not a big fan of John MacArthur because of my concern for accurate, precise theology. Nevertheless, he is a very powerful preacher and many people have been blessed by his ministry. Now, I have learned (thanks to Matthew Kratz and The Truth Will Set You Free) that one can now get free sermons of…

Five Kingdoms Theology
There is a difference between the church and the state. They are two different kingdoms, with different spheres of authority. The Bible gives us information on how each sphere properly operates. They are not, however, the only two spheres of authority, contrary to the impressions that some recent advocates of so-called “Two Kingdoms” theology. There…
