Trent Horn’s analysis of the debate between Candace Owens and Andrew Wilson seems to be very good. I never had time to investigate her (Candace) nor Andrew Wilson (what I have seen, is that he just cusses and talks vulgar … Continue reading
This Roman Catholic had a total meltdown in anger; and what he said revealed a lot in what they really want – they want to return to the days when Roman Catholicism was in charge of society with the state … Continue reading
“The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity. God gave us gravity . . . Newton did not create gravity but recognized it.” J. I. Packer, God has … Continue reading
“My flesh was crucified, so why do I continue to sin?” – Pastor John Piper does a good job of answering this question. I appreciate that he says the thing that was in us (our unregenerate self, or “the old … Continue reading
I agree with Ryan at needGod.net and his 10 reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Ryan does a good job of backing up his reasons with quotes from Scripture and the Eastern Orthodoxy’s own sources. I thought he was … Continue reading
https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/the-glory-of-god-in-the-sight-of-eternity For believers in Christ – “why does God sanctify us slowly?” “We are being renewed day by day” – see 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 – implies that we leak and run out of power and gas and energy every day … Continue reading
Redeemed Zoomer did an excellent job of explaining these 14 different contradictions within Roman Catholicism itself. Trent Horn’s Response was sophistry. Richard of Redeemed Zoomer did an excellent job and Trent Horn did not overcome the problems. See Redeemed Zoomer’s … Continue reading

III 470, the early dating of this fragment – to the 3rd century -, which has hitherto been generally accepted in theological scholarship, cannot be maintained. The dating to the 6th … Continue reading
Timothy Kauffman does a good job of showing the problem of interpreting Irenaeus (died around 200-202 AD) statements about baptism as the way Roman Catholicism understands – that the ceremony in water and saying the right words over the person … Continue reading
Someone asked about 2 Timothy 3:16-17, and the Roman Catholic argument that it only includes the OT, as v. 15 is clearly about the OT sacred Scriptures that Timothy learned as a child. John Henry Newman also uses this argument … Continue reading
Shamoun claims that the “canon argument” is the achilles heel of Protestantism. No it is not. Shamoun needs to read Michael Kruger’s two books on the canon. “Canon Revisited” and “The Question of Canon”. See other articles I have written … Continue reading
Many people don’t like Reformed Theology or Calvinism, the teaching about God’s Sovereignty- that God has ordained (decided beforehand) to allow evil to enter the world and for evil and sin and suffering to take place. They don’t like Predestination … Continue reading
I am only talking about the first 22 minutes of this video. (don’t have time for more of that) Sam Shamoun admits that Trent Dougherty’s explosion in anger and cursing, etc. is a defeater for the Roman Catholic side of … Continue reading
I wrote this years ago, in 2013, over at Beggar’s All blog. I really appreciate James Swan, and him letting me blog there for years; and his work on really detailed aspects of Luther and Calvin and his striving for … Continue reading
Good analysis of church history in relationship to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. I am impressed with this guy’s (says his name is Miles) channel, “Canon and Creed” about “Reformed Catholicism” (Reformed Catholicity – universal Christianity that is … Continue reading
The recent hot topic on social media, twitter/X and You Tube discussions and debates is about the Roman Catholic Vatican 2 position that says that Muslims worship the same God as Christians do. Well, Biblically, Vatican 2 is just wrong. … Continue reading
Since I don’t know how to do videos or editing or clips, Michael Lofton has provided a lot of clips that expose Sam Shamoun’s wicked and evil behavior – sinful anger, dirty talking, ad hominem methods, bullying, manipulation, bombastic bravado, … Continue reading
Michael Lofton just destroyed Roman Catholicism’s claim of being true and the one true church. What an amazing bunch of false-hood! Not only does the Vatican 2 documents and post Vatican 2 theology claim that Muslims worship the same God … Continue reading
“Papalism” or “Sola Ecclesia” (The Roman Church has the final ultimate say on everything.) The Eastern Orthodox have their version of “Sola Ecclesia” also – (Their own Church Councils have the final say, even after the first 7 and their … Continue reading
The claim of venerating icons being apostolic (by both EO & RC) is so obviously wrong that it seems that Nicea 2 (787 AD) is one of the clearest examples of a massive mistake in doctrine that the universal church … Continue reading
On a Roman Catholic You Tube Channel (Allan Ruhl), we talked about many things, such as Simeon Stylites (390-459 AD), who is famous for living on top of a pillar for 37 years. His disciples had to bring him some … Continue reading
Thank you brother Marlon Wilson (of the Gospel Truth You Tube channel) for doing this video (with clips from a video of Ruslan and EO apologist Jay Dyer)! (see the video at the end) Sam Shamoun has been doing this … Continue reading
Jeremiah Notier (“The Apologetic Dog”) and Tony Costa (Toronto Apologetics) discuss several passages in the early church fathers on baptism and show that ex opere operato baptismal regeneration was not the view of the early church. I have written on … Continue reading
In the last 3 minutes, Ruslan rightly calls out Sam Shamoun for his sinful behavior. – He is full of sinful anger, cursing, name-calling, unhinged, bellicose, bombastic, bullying, manipulative. Click on the category of “Sam Shamoun” and you can read … Continue reading
Here, perhaps, it may be said by that presumption of man, which is ignorant of the righteousness of God, and wishes to establish one of its own, that the apostle quite properly said, “For by the law shall no man … Continue reading
My, how time flys! I meant to write a response to this along time ago, but have not found the time to be organized until now. One can see my comments in the You Tube com box and Dr. Ortlund’s … Continue reading
These are 2 excellent videos on Cyril Lucaris, the Calvinist Patriarch of Constantinople who was killed in 1638. Fascinating church history!!
In the future, I hope to write out and analyse some of the points that these 2 videos.
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, . . . (Colossians 1:3) Colossians 1:11-14 . . . joyously 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of … Continue reading
Originally written in November of 2011 at Beggar’s All. Paul Williams, a British convert to Islam, for years has critiqued the Bible and the Christian faith. A lot of his blog posts are no longer available, as he has changed … Continue reading
