Sola Scriptura is a DISQUALIFYING Belief for Authentic Christianity.

I frequent a number of “Anti-Catholic” message boards, and have since I was a neophyte believer. I do it because it’s always good to stay ready and sharpened in your ability to give a defense of the faith – but also because it *is* missionary territory. Sometimes a “doozy” of a claim will come up, […]

Why Do Catholics Have Statues?

Imagine a soldier during WWII. His name is Steve. He’s in a foxhole, and in 45 seconds he and his fellow soldiers will be charging out of their foxhole, through a hail of gunfire, to the next trench. Undoubtedly, some of them won’t make it. In the final seconds before the charge, Steve reaches into […]

Protestant Scholars on Mt 16:16-19

Mt 16:16-1916 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.18 And I tell you, you are Peter (Pevtroß, or “petros”), and on this rock (pevtra, or “petra”) […]

“Where do you Catholics find Confession in the Bible?”

Jesus Grants Authority to Forgive Sins John 20:21 (RSV): Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” In this verse, Jesus conveys to his apostles that they are being sent forth in a similar manner as he was sent by the Father. Just […]

The Authority & Primacy of Peter in Scripture

Peter is always mentioned first. Matthew even calls him first (protos) when he was NOT the first one called. His brother Andrew first found Jesus and brought Simon and Jesus together. Summary of the Findings: These verses collectively underscore Peter’s primacy among the apostles in the New Testament. He is consistently named first in the […]

Method To The Madness

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Question with boldness even the existence of a God, for if there be one, He must approve more of the homage of reason than that of blind-folded fear.” This is the big mistake that I made after Life Teen. I wanted to grow and mature, but I didn’t know how. I spent so much time and […]

Restoring Love: One Man’s Antidote to Pornography

I’ve been cautiously encouraged by some recent posts on GirlsAskGuys (I’ve mentioned them before).  In the last few weeks, I’ve seen an upsurge in posts about pornography.  Two were from male users asking how to stop.  One even identified himself as an atheist. It’s not enough to simply point out the harm that porn can […]

When Is It Okay To “Draw The Line”?

This post began with a friend of mine who has recently cut ties with somebody who has caused her pain for her entire life.  Her “VERY Christian mother” has called her “cold-hearted” and “evil” for this.  She also revealed that her mother continuously helps people who have repeatedly hurt their family, knowing that this will be the result.  She is “absolutely miserable” doing […]

The Magicians Twin: C. S. Lewis, Scientism, and the Future

C. S. Lewis passed away 49 years ago yesterday (November 22, 1963).  His death was little noticed here in the states, as it happened to coincide with a startling event: The assassination of John F. Kennedy.  However of the two men, Lewis’s legacy has proved startlingly vital compared to Kennedy’s. The above video is a […]
