  • The Roman Catholic Church in Analysis

    Background Since its beginning, with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, making Trinitarian Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic church has, over the centuries, accumulated a vast corpus of doctrine/dogma. These beliefs which have accreted are simply the traditions of man and most have absolutely no basis in Scriptura.…

  • Towards A Biblical Patriarchy

    Background Patriarchy—literally, “the rule of the father,” from the Greek patriarkhēs—is any systemic structure in which men or the eldest male hold the power, particularly over women, typically within a household but also in broader society. It has been with us since the time of Adam and Eve. Scripture is clear that the man is head…

  • Catholic Traditions Absent in the Early Church

    Traditionalists like to make lofty claims as if Church history is massively on their side and therefore theirs is the one true Church. They often yell it so confidently, like only simpletons could deny the facts. However, here are just a couple of examples of doctrines completely absent in the early church and foreign to…

  • Some Thoughts on Sola Scriptura

    Background The more I interact with Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, and some non-Reformed Protestants, the greater I see the need and absolute necessity of the Reformed principle of Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone). Sola Scriptura ensures that our doctrines align with God’s Word. It gives us purity and completeness of doctrine. And it acts as…

  • Antisemitism and The Church

Supersessionism teaches that the Church has replaced Israel (namely the Jewish people) and all of the…

  • A Critical Examination of Sacramental Theology: Another Gospel?

    The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches both have 7 sacraments, they are roughly the same. The 7 Sacraments celebrated in the Catholic Church are Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance and Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Contemporary Orthodox catechisms and textbooks all affirm that the church recognizes seven mystēria (“sacraments”): baptism, chrismation, Communion, holy…

  • The Lost Generations: Christians in America to Become a Minority by 2070

    The Problem I’ve noticed recently some polling showing that young people aged 18-25 are leaving the faith they were raised in record droves! These young apostates are the Millennials and Gen-Z’ers. Some Context Let’s be frank, the real issue here is not that these churches (Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant) didn’t have a good enough youth…

  • Race Realism: A Discourse on the Current State of Race in America

    Shakespeare was the greatest writer of all time, besides the Bible – which was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It’s sad so many high schools and universities have dropped the study of the venerable bard and his many works. Too white. Too western. Too Christian. This is the tip of the anti-white,…
