| Galileo |
What really happened? Who was wrong in the Galileo incident? |
| Christ's Church Failed? |
Protestants must accept the notion that the church "went bad" and that God used the Protestant Reformers to "fix" it. |
| Doctrinal Development |
I discuss the topic of doctrinal development from a Protestant perspective (but I highlight issues that are typically ignored by Protestants). |
| History of Dogma, by Adolph Harnack |
The first couple hundred years of Christianity. |
| Martin Luther's Teachings |
I highlight the problems and inconsistencies of Martin Luther's teachings using quotes from his own writings. I should note that I consider him to be a great man of God and I enjoy reading his writings (but I do find him to be a bit irascible). |
| Early Church Fathers |
This article demonstrates what the Early Church Fathers in the first generation after the apostles had to say that supports the claims of the Catholic Church. |
| Three Popes |
What happened when there were three popes at once. |
| The Orthodox Church |
The purpose of this article is to explain why I believe the Orthodox Church is not the one and only true church as she claims to be. |
| Anti-Semitism |
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that amillennialism does not result in anti-Semitism. |
| Anti-Catholic Misrepresentations |
Misrepresentations of the Catholic Church. |
| Christ's Church Failed? |
In order to justify the validity of the Protestant Reformation, Protestants typically hold the view that the church failed soon after Pentecost and that the Protestant Reformers fixed it again. But this simply can't be true. |
| Historical Defense of Catholicism |
In this article I use quotes from three secular history books to demonstrate that the claims of the Catholic Church are true. |
| Church History |
I provide a sociological and historical perspective of the development of the church to demonstrate why she became the way she was at various stages of her history. |
| Justification |
I compare and contrast the Protestant and Catholic views of the topic of justification. All too often neither side understands the views of the other. |
| The Church Went Bad? |
The church could not have gone bad before the essential doctrines of Christianity were developed. |
| Catholic Abuses |
The Church has "officially" done some bad things |
| The Catholic Church Embraced Astrology |
Evidence that some popes and doctors of the church actually believed and practiced astrology. |
| The church has changed her views |
Examples from church documents. |
| Catholic Problems |
To present a few problems with the Catholic Church using church documents as evidence. |
| Who did the Jews think Jesus was? |
It is very significant when a rabbi identifies various Old Testament prophecies as the Messiah since Jews who reject Jesus as the Messiah typically insist that these prophecies do not refer to the Messiah. |
| Teaching Authority |
The fundamental question we must answer is "who do we trust?" |
| The Early Church |
We should learn about the faith-life and practice of the early church. |
| Apostolic Succession is Broken |
According to Catholic teaching, only bishops can ordain new bishops — this is how the apostolic succession is passed-on from generation to generation. If there are examples of invalid bishops ordaining other bishops, these new bishops are not valid bishops either and the chain of apostolic succession is broken. |
| How to know what is true |
In my 16 years as a Christian I encountered many truth-claims. |
| The True Church |
Which church is the true church? |
| Doctrines |
Various doctrines such as apostolic succession. The doctrine of apostolic succession is a cornerstone of Catholic teaching. If it's flawed the whole structure collapses. |
