  • Salvation: Monergism vs Synergism

    The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are semi-Pelagian. Salvation in these churches is synergistic—man cooperating with God. Man is saved, in part, through his own efforts. Man, not God, chooses the time of his salvation. Roman Catholics and Orthodox are Arminian in soteriology. They exalt man’s so-called “free will”, and believe it is essential…

  • Paradise Lost?

    Roman Catholicism teaches that there are two types of sin: venial sins which don’t merit the loss of salvation, and mortal sins which merit the loss of salvation. This distinction is not biblical. The result of this teaching is that a typical Roman Catholic will vacillate between being saved and damned hundreds, or even thousands…

    My theological doctrinal beliefs:

  • Real Presence: Real or Not

    The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches teach that when the priest says the words of consecration, the bread and wine transform into the physical body and blood of Jesus. This is known as the Real Presence of Christ in the communion gifts. The Roman Catholic church dogmatizes this process under the rubric of transubstantiation. It…

  • A Case Study in Idolatry: Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism

    In Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, the clerical and laity worship Jesus’ mother Mary. They also worship certain dead people, whom they designate as “Saints”. We know from Scripture that all believers in Christ are saints. Their veneration of the saints and hyper-veneration of Mary constitute a clear case of idolatry. Christ alone is the…

  • Determining Doctrine

    During the time of the Apostles, when Scripture was being written, the Apostle Paul warned us (the Church) against error creeping in if we weren’t vigilant. Sadly even within the New Testament period, heresy was being introduced into the visible Church. Many new heresies arose during the 3rd to 5th centuries, particularly false teachings about…

  • Patriarchy: A Biblical Model of Society

    A biblical society will be a patriarchal society. God commands strict gender roles. Male and female each have their own domain of responsibilities and duties. God designed society such that the male is in charge of his home on a local scale, and men are called upon to manage business and legislative and political spheres.…

  • Worshipping Mary

    Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists claim that they only worship God. They assert that there are distinctions in how we relate to Mary and the saints in heaven, which include dulia (veneration given to the saints), hyper-dulia (hyper-veneration given only to Mary), and latria (worship given only to God). The issue is that their…
