10 Reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy

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

Inherent Contradictions within Roman Catholicism

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

Dating of Papyrus 470 – the Sub Tuum Praesidium prayer to Mary the Theotokos

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

Refutation of Baptismal Regeneration in Irenaeus

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

2 Timothy 3:16, “all Scripture” expands OT in v. 15 to include all of NT by principle, “whatever is Scripture is God-breathed”

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

Pope Leo and Father Martin, Pints with Aquinas and Marian Idolatry

Another Road Trip Dividing Line today from eastern Oklahoma on my way to Nashville, Tennessee. Started off talking about the upcoming conferences and debates, including the big debate get-together in Dallas next February. Then we talked about Pope Leo and Father James Martin and the future of Roman Catholicism and the LGBTQ movement, which led naturally into a discussion about […]

Pre-Road Trip DL from the Mobile Command Center

This was a hot program! Mainly because the AC units had not yet caught up with the Arizona heat in the RV! Anyway, talked about the sad state of affairs, worldview wise, on social media, then talked about what the Bible says about purity in speech. Then we looked at a statement about the “Reformed Ghetto” from Joel Webbon and […]

Refuting Sam Shamoun on the RC canon argument

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

Webbon Implodes, Bad Sola Scriptura Argument, New Pope Promotes Liguori

Started off looking at a new video from Joel Webbon, who recently called Nick “F-Bomb” Fuentes a “political savant,” where he had Dr. Taylor Marshall, former Protestant, now more-Catholic-than-the-Pope promoter of Papalism, to talk about (ready for this?) dispensationalism and the red heifer! Webbon is now amplifying his “Rome really isn’t our enemy” theme, just as predicted by certain folks […]

Intertextuality, Matthew 16, A Bit More David Allen

Three major portions to the program today, starting off with some observations on the relationship of the Prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-18) to the Prologue of the First Epistle of John. Then we looked at a post on X from a few weeks ago presenting a very one-sided view of the supposed “Petrine Promise” in Matthew 16, […]

PSA: the Many Vital Issues (Part 1)

After a brief note of some words from Mark Miravalle about the “5th Marian Dogma” movement that continues to this day, we started talking about Penal Substitutionary Atonement, PSA, which exploded on social media a few days ago. It is not that denying PSA is anything new: it’s a theological minority broadly speaking. But most evangelicals are unaware of its […]

Dr. Newman I Presume, More on David Allen and Romans

Covered a few personal items at the start, talked a bit about Calvin Robinson and Rome, then about Pope Leo’s intention to elevate John Henry Cardinal Newman to the position of “Doctor of the Church” and what this might mean. Then we looked at a Leighton Flowers tweet on God’s sovereignty, and finished up moving back into David Allen’s book […]

Justification by Faith Alone in light of church history

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

Allah is the very best deceiver – Qur’an 3:54

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

Michael Lofton destroys Roman Catholicism’s claim to be the one true Church

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

Roman Catholicism is “one thing” = Papalism- Part 1

“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

Both Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodoxy are proven fallible. They made doctrinal mistakes.

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

More on the early church fathers and Baptism

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
