   A few days ago I posted the first portion of my comments in the Boston College debate as part of my reply to Steve Ray. In my comments I noted that Robert Sungenis had asserted that Paul had “over-reacted” in response to Peter’s actions at Antioch. In my reply I pointed out that according to inspired Scripture, Peter was not

   Yes, the summer months are tough on ministries. Donations are down all over, including here in the ol’ A&O bunker. But after getting eight copies of the same “we are about to go belly up, we need a quarter of a million bucks right now” e-mails from Catholic Answers, I started getting another one, featuring a Madonna/child graphic, for the

I 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

   What do all false religions share in common? While a number of answers suggest themselves, in our context, I am referring to their united attack upon the inspiration, consistency, and sufficiency, of the Bible as the Word of God. In particular, false religions that wish to make some room for Jesus in their teaching while fundamentally altering the truth about

   I have once again made it across the border, and look forward greatly to meeting the saints here in Toronto. My flights were in the main uneventful, but now I am rushing to make some major changes to my presentations in light of some studying I was doing on the way up here. I am thankful for the technology to

   I think I will live blog Frank Beckwith’s appearance on CA Live today. It begins at 3pm PDT. You can find the link here. Be watching, as I will update as the program progresses.    Start: I wonder if Yanni knows CA Live uses his music as their theme?    Well, that’s interesting. I thought Beckwith did not want to be an

   On August 13th Steve Ray posted a blog article that presented the “logic” used in Roman Catholic theology that lies behind the assumption and coronation of Mary. I replied the next day here. (Ray, in his response, has the wrong date of his own initial blog article, and links not to my initial response to him, but a later one).

   I was directed to another set of replies to the top ten questions I posted a few days ago in answer to a question sent in by e-mail. I don’t get the feeling they were offered in an overly serious manner, so I will skip most of them. But I did find some of the comments left on the blog

   Since I have found another response to my “ten questions” list on line, I will abbreviate the rest of my reply to our catholic convert that I began a few days ago so that I can try to wrap up some of this current Roman Catholic topic and get focused upon other issues in my studies and here on the

   A&O is a small, non-profit organization. Though we have been around 24 years now, we remain a small, two-man operation. Though you hardly ever hear us talking about it, we are, in fact, dependent upon the gifts of those who find our work useful, encouraging, and beneficial. And yes, we could always use a lot more support than we have.
