Analogical Argument on the Object of Prayer
TurretinFan, , Roman CatholicismThere are many great arguments that are presented as to why we should not pray to anyone besides God. One underused argument, however, is the analogical or typological argument. The Old Testament worship of God employed incense. That incense is a symbol and picture of our prayers. We can see its connection to prayer in the New Testament: Luke 1:9-11
Still No Bible Verses Establishing the Papacy
TurretinFan, , Roman CatholicismSteve Ray (a supporter of the papacy) has a new post on his blog entitled, “Peter & the Papacy—Verses I Never Saw.” (link to post) Wanting to make sure I did not make the same mistake he made before he joined his present church, I eagerly opened the pdf document he provides at the link, to see what verses he
Purgatory Debate – 2/17/2024
Rich Pierce, , Roman CatholicismIn February of 2024 James White and Trent Horn did two, back to back debates at First Lutheran Church in Houston. The first night was on sola scriptura, and the second on purgatory. It was the conjunction of these two debates that was most informative and useful. We invite our viewers to listen to both debates and compare the assertions

James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology MattersDid a live DL from London (Westminster) today via Zoom (worked really well!) discussing how we “draw the lines,” using three examples to provide us with some perspective for this challenging discussion. We looked at Matt Walsh, Roman Catholic, who was interviewed on the CrossPolitic program last week. Then we looked at Serene Jones, head of Union Theological Seminary, and
The Catholic Verses: Matthew 23:1-3 (Part V)
James White, , Roman CatholicismAt this point Armstrong opines, It reminds me of the old silly Protestant tale that the popes speak infallibly and ex cathedra (cathedra is the Greek word for seat in Matthew 23:2) only when sitting in a certain chair in the Vatican — because the phrase means literally “from the bishop’s chair” — whereas it was a figurative and idiomatic
Jimmy Akin Replies
James White, , Roman CatholicismA few days ago I posted an article showing that Roman Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin of Catholic Answers had demonstrated a basic lack of research in responding to a question regarding the Corban rule, Matthew 15, and sola scriptura. I documented that one of the leading Catholic apologists was unaware of the specifics of the discussion regarding Jewish sources, Tractate
On Double Standards (Again)
James White, , Roman CatholicismLooking forward to doing “Kilted Apologetics” tonight here in Larbert (the Falkirk area between Glasgow and Edinburgh). Just finished a brand new digital presentation on the difference between the Uthmanic Revision and the transmission of the text of the New Testament that I’m looking forward to presenting tonight. Don’t worry, pictures tomorrow! In any case, I began surfing around a
Assumptions and Shallow Arguments: Steve Ray and the Poor State of Catholic Apologetics (#3)
James White, , Roman CatholicismI continue my examination and refutation of Steve Ray’s attempt to defend Rome’s dogmatic teaching of the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven, and her doctrinal teaching of the queenly coronation of Mary. In our first installment we pointed out that since the Assumption is a dogmatic teaching, the highest standard of evidence is required to defend it, and we
