Don’t Worry It Doesn’t Affect Infallibility!
The U.S. government has (for the first time, remarkably) placed the Vatican on a “list of countries that are a potential hub for money laundering … .” (link) One can speculate regarding the motives of the U.S. government, but is this kind of thing consistent with a theory that the Vatican represents the succession of…

Rome Doesn't Teach the Physical Presence?
Justin Taylor has re-posted an unhelpful portion of Chris Castaldo’s “Three Misnomers to Avoid.” Technically, I don’t think that the three items that Mr. Castaldo identifies would meet the definition of “misnomers,” just alleged mistakes. What are those mistakes? 1. “Catholics teach that Christ is “physically present” in the Mass.” Incidentally, there is a misnomer…

Joseph Kony and the so-called Lord's Resistance Army
Joseph Kony is the leader of a group that he calls the “Lord’s Resistance Army.” According to all accounts I’ve ever seen, he’s the leader of a small army/cult that is based on kidnapping children, forcing them to kill their parents, and forcing them to fight alongside him. There’s a new quasi-documentary about him embedded…

Insulting My Idol-Worshiping Ancestors
Some of my ancestors were idol-worshipers. It’s pretty much a sure thing that at least some of your ancestors were too.

Scriptural and Patristic Testimony to the Holy Spirit's Illumination and Scripture's Self-Authenticating Character
In the comment box of a previous post, Pastor David King provided the following Scriptural and patristic testimony to the Holy Spirit’s inward illumination of believers and Scripture’s self-authenticating character, to which I’ve made some minor edits: The canon of Scripture is an artifact of revelation rather than an object of revelation. By “artifact” I…

VeneRATion
National Geographic has an article on an unusual example of religious veneration (link to article). In this case, the object of veneration is a large rat colony. It’s a great example of this verse: Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,…
