   If you thought there was a “renaissance” of Roman Catholic apologetics a few decades ago, I believe you can see this entry by Roman Catholic apologist Steve Ray as the tomb stone of any such renaissance. Recall that over the past few weeks a series of videos has appeared on my blog. The videos provide the broad context of Ignatius’

   Yesterday I reviewed some clips from an interview done by Dave Armstrong. I noted some of his amazing statements, and in particular, I found quite humorous his very inflated sense of importance in basically vanquishing the entire Protestant world from the field of battle. No one can respond to Dave Armstrong! Well, I knew Dave would respond, and respond he

   This is the third in my series of refutations of Gary Michuta’s failed attempt to defend Steve Ray’s comments on Catholic Answers Live. Enjoy!

   Here are some of the comments left by Roman Catholics on Michuta’s video. They are…educational. This topic was brillantly debated by Gary Michuta. Gary proved every point and Mr. White was stuck with restating his platitudes. BTW, Steve Ray and Dave Armstrong were in the audience. Instead of there being a debate, why doesn’t Mr. White just stop misrepresenting the

   It’s all too easy to get caught up in rhetoric and ad hominem with someone presenting a counter position. Paul instructs Christians to slander no one, and to be peaceable and considerate as we strive to show true humility toward all men (Titus 3:2). This goal can be easily forgotten. Particularly in written dialog, things we write not intended as

   If you ever engage those who advocate Catholic apologetics, you’re probably familiar with the argument that Catholics are unified in their beliefs, while Protestants are not. A Roman Catholic apologist recently stated this common caricature in a blog entry against me: “The same thing happens with Protestants, in their internal squabbles. This is one of the ongoing tragedies of Protestantism.

   I’ve spent a lot of time chasing Luther quotes, particularly those put forth by Catholic apologists. Back in November, I posted a brief review of a Martin Luther quote used by Steve Ray in his book Crossing the Tiber: Evangelical Protestants Discover the Historical Church. The quote suggested Luther wrote a letter to Zwingli telling him only a Church Council

While looking through Catholic apologist Steve Ray’s blog, I came across a very brief entry that I found curious: Would Today’s Reformed & Presbyterians Agree? Jean Calvin, father of the multiple Reformed & Presbyterian denominations, said: “Persons who persist in the superstitions of the Roman Antichrist . . . deserve to be repressed by the sword.” Harkness, Georgia, John

“If the world lasts for a long time, it will again be necessary, on account of the many interpretations which are now given to the Scriptures, to receive the decrees of councils, and take refuge in them, in order to preserve the unity of faith.” Epis. ad. Zwingli (ap. Balmes, p. 423)” – Martin Luther    It is an odd occurrence

In a previous entry, I explored the alleged parallel in the development of the Roman Catholic Marian dogmas and the Trinity. Recall, Catholic apologist Steve Ray recently sought to validate the Marian dogmas as developing like the Trinity developed. To hear Ray’s assertion, listen to this recent Dividing Line broadcast.    I pointed out the Marian dogmas are not mined from

   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

   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

   What do you do when documentation is provided that you have clearly, repeatedly promoted falsehood in defense of your faith? The honest man admits his mistake. But the politician spins the facts. “Oh, I didn’t mean it that way.” “But you said….” “Let’s not be focused on the past!” We see it every day as politicians demonstrate that truth is

   In generations past the term “Romanism” was used to identify those who make the bishop of Rome, whom they call “the Pope,” the central figure in Christianity. Since Rome claimed ultimacy in all things ecclesiastical, epistemological, theological–then it seemed quite appropriate to identify those who serve Rome, defend Rome, seek to make converts to Rome, as…Romanists.    Today political correctness has

A Call to Roman Catholic Apologists to Repent of the Use of Simple Dishonesty in Their Presentations    If you have ever listened to a Catholic convert on EWTN talking about their “journey home,” you have heard the argument. If you have read on-line “conversion stories,” you’ve seen it repeated, ad nauseum. “There is only one true church, Rome! Look at

   It is rare that you get to provide such a contrast as this, but this one is great. First, start out with this blog entry by Steve Ray, Catholic apologist who, ironically, just finished a DVD about the Apostolic Fathers. Why is it ironic? Well, read on. Look at his entry and see if he interacts with anything relevant to

Whatever happened to Catholic apologist Gary Michuta? Recall, Dr. White debated Gary on the apocrypha a few years ago (MP3’s of the debate can be found here). Well, Gary has put together a large website and a blog with occasional entries. A recent entry stated,    “Christians often fool themselves into believing that the bible is guiding them into all truth

I flew by Steve Ray’s site and noted something odd. There is a sorta random quote generator, “Quote of the Moment,” and the one I saw was this: If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was

Sometimes, you just have to shake your head. Remember Doug C. from Houston, who launched into me on Steve Ray’s board? Here’s the original, here’s my reply to his letter, also posted on Ray’s board. Now, if you haven’t ever ventured into Steve Ray’s web-board, let’s just say it is well known for two things: 1) hotheads, 2) massive volume.

You may recall that yesterday I noted the kind words of one Doug C. from Houston:    Second, Tim Staples told me that White got his clocked cleaned by a friend of his in a debate on Peter being the rock. After the debate, White admitted that he had to uphold his anticatholic position or he has no ministry.    White is
