The Pope’s Alleged Heresies
This website (link) catalogues 101 alleged heresies of Benedict XVI. Now, obviously, the RCC does not teach that popes are perfect. I wonder, though, whether any supporter of Ben16 has taken the time to debunk the list above, which – at first glance – appears to be documented with evidence from various sources. The list…

The World Religions Guessing Game …
Try to guess the religion of this assassin (link). There is one group that thinks it will benefit from killing the opposition leaders in Pakistan (and particularly, killing a woman), and that is not the ruling party, but the purist Muslims. But there is one group that will actually benefit, even from these horrific crimes,…

Now I get why Osteen says Mormons are Christians …
It is, as they say, all about the Benjamins* (link). That just confirms to me that Osteen is not a Christian teacher at all, no matter what he may call himself. If someone can locate a copy of Turretin’s Institutes in their local Mormon bookstore, I’ll eat my hat (figuratively speaking). -Turretinfan * For those…

Is Christimas a Catholic Holiday?
In a recent discussion with Centuri0n (the wise Turk), he noted with apparent surprise my curious insistence, as a Puritan, that Christmas is a vestige of Catholicism, and is primarily objectionable for that reason, not for its more ancient connection with paganism. Let’s be clear about one thing: just because one celebrates the birth of…

Field on RCC Baptism
I found this short note by David Field on the validity of Roman Catholic baptism interesting (link). I suspect that he is omitting from the Reformed camp the “Reformed Baptists” who would presumably have rejected most RCC baptisms as invalid. If I’m wrong about that, I’d be delighted to see the evidence of an early…

Tell-Tale Signs of False Teachers
1. Joel Osteen endorses Mormonism as Christianity, thereby demonstrating that he is at best unfamiliar with Mormonism (link). I suspect the problem is a bit deeper, given his rationale for accepting Mormonism as Christian. UPDATE: Jame White has more in-depth response here (link).2. Doug Pagitt says that the way that God is going to interact…
