Steve Ray (Roman Catholic) writes: From the early centuries Mary was considered the All Holy One and considered as without sin. Rom 3:23 is a general statement but does not mention exceptions to the rule. For example, Jesus was a man without sin, therefore an exception. Jesus did not come short of the glory of God, because Jesus is God.

Pilgrimage panderer Steve Ray has some video clips up at his site (link). In the first video (starting around 4:50 into the clip, with the key portion beginning at 7:00), you can hear Steve Ray discussing the idea that Jesus’ reference to “the gates of hell” is a reference to a deep crevice near the mouth of a cave at

In a recent post, Steve Ray describes the “Protoevangelium of James” in this way: “This document was written in the early 2nd century and known and loved by the first Christians.” On the other hand, Thomas Aquinas described this same work as “apocryphal ravings.” (see also the Decree attributed to Pope Gelasius) Even the famous mariologist, Luigi Gambero, admits that

Steve Ray, pilgrimage peddler, has posted an apparently fictional letter from “Lenny” to “Beau”: Hi Beau, you mention “that Scripture is sufficient to teach us.” There is a problem with your statement is this; it is not in the Bible. Nowhere does it say that we should follow Scripture alone “Sola Scriptura” or that it is all sufficient. Isn’t it

Steve Ray, now a Roman Catholic, formerly a Protestant congregant attempted to answer some questions about why he decided to trust the Papal see: I explained my reasons for converting to the Catholic Church in my book Crossing the Tiber and on my Conversion CD. Here I provide a few of the quotations that had an impact on my decision.

Yes, Steve Ray spelled it “Dillusional,” though I suspect he meant “Delusional.”  But what is the basis for Ray’s complaint?  Ray quotes Spurgeon as saying: It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. Ray does not provide the context. 

Steve Ray seems to think that there are questions that we Bible Christians cannot answer. (Link to his post) Not only can we answer them, we have answered them. For the most part, they are a bunch of loaded questions that are actually not that hard to unload and answer. The answers I provided below may not even be the

   I was looking through the materials we have on Roman Catholicism in our articles section and I noted a lengthy discussion of Augustine’s Sermon 131. I noticed the date: April 11, 2000. Why is this significant? Recently I have noted, in the context of his unscrupulous behavior and actions, the many errors of Steve Ray. Examining his writings and claims

   As Tur8inFan noted a clear example of Ray’s double standards earlier today, I just ran across another example here. Ray notes that Tony Blair, who converted to Rome in 2007, has criticized Rome’s teachings on homosexuality. He opines, “We want more Protest-ants to convert and join us, but not if they bring their ‘protest’ with them. Leave it behind or

Mr. Steve Ray, whom you’ll remember from Dr. White’s video in the immediately preceding blog post, despite supposedly “fasting from blogging and blog reading for Lent,” has provided two recent blog posts in which he illustrates the fact that Roman Catholic apologetics can impair one’s ability to think straight: a) According to Ray, Warren flip-flopped on homosexuality because he lacks

I was sad to see that rather than correct his quotation of a spurious work attributed to Athanasius, the man who Steve Ray has set forth to defend Mr. Ray’s miscitation of a spurious source (Mr. William Albrecht) has continued his campaign of misinformation and insult (link to video). Mr. Albrecht spends the first two minutes of his video complaining

Introduction As you may recall, we recently identified a spurious quotation from Athanasius that a number of apologists for Rome had been using, including Mr. Steve Ray. Sadly, rather than correct his error and be honest with his readers, Mr. Ray has chosen to pretend the problem doesn’t exist, directing his readers, once again, to the video musings of Mr.

   Recently on Catholic Answers, Steve Ray took an hour to explain how to “develop your spiritual life.” Steve explained how everything we do is “spiritual” if done under the lordship of Christ. He mentioned that even changing the diaper of a baby “is a spiritual act because I’m doing what God wants me to do at that moment.” You can

On the May 8, 2008, edition of Catholic Answers Live, I was amazed to hear Steve Ray reference (seemingly approvingly) a book called, “The Secret of the Rosary,” for the idea that wearing a rosary “around your neck keeps the Devil away – it keeps the evil powers away, because they hate the rosary and they hate the crucifix …

   Steve Ray blogged today about those nasty, “tedious” anti-Catholics and in doing so directed his readers to a music video “response.” Great guitar work, catchy tune, the lyrics work…musically, anyway. Too bad the history, Bible, and Trinitarian theology are all messed up! Thanks again, Steve, for proving that there is no limit to how far you will go to avoid

   I continue with my examination of Steve Ray’s claims concerning Ignatius of Antioch (second in a series).

   A caller asked Steve Ray about the Protevangelium of James, one of the early “infancy gospels” from the end of the second century that became the basis for later Marian dogmas (such as the concept of the perpetual virginity of Mary). Here’s a review of his comments.

   Four years ago I addressed the abuse of the words of Ignatius of Antioch by Roman Catholic apologists, at that time quoting from an article by Tim Staples as my example. I then took the time to work through the text of Ignatius’ epistle to the Smyrneans, demonstrating that a fair and contextual reading does not support the abuse of

   Our main internet access is down today (I’m using my BlackBerry as a tethered modem to write this) so I will have to wait till Monday to provide a video blog, but Steve Ray just noted on his blog the posting of a video response to my documentation of his errors regarding Jerome being alone and unique in his rejection

   Here is a tremendous example of the kind of scholarship put forward by Ignatius Press and Catholic Answers in the person of one of their “experts,” Steve Ray. This kind of gross misrepresentation is simply too easy to refute, yet it is so very popular amongst Rome’s adherents.
