  • 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…

  • America: Once a Bastion of the Reformed – Now Apostate

    In 1793, 956 out of 1,032 baptist churches in America were calvinistic. This equates to 93%. A 2012 Lifeway poll of SBC pastors found that of 1,066 SBC pastors, 30% said their churches were calvinistic. One of the foremost constitutional theorists of the founding generation, John Adams, observed, “Our Constitution was made only for a…

  • Eastern Orthodoxy and Scripture

    Unlike us Reformed Protestants, the Eastern Orthodox (EO) place their phronema (collective consensus over time), which is merely the fallible traditions of men, to a place of preeminence. This is an extremely dangerous position to be in. The EO do not have the corrective force of Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) to guide and safeguard their…

  • My Blessed Childhood

    My first memory is staring out the window and seeing the snowfall on a cold December day, 2 weeks before Christmas. I was 16 months old. I also recall the warm fuzzy sky-blue blanket I was wrapped in. Overall I had a very happy childhood. I had a loving mother and father, and 2 sisters:…

  • The Roman Catholic Church is Apostate

    The Roman Catholic church is NOT biblical. It has a false hopeless gospel of works-righteousness, whereby one must work for one’s salvation. At the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic church repudiated the biblical Gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God…

  • The Roman Catholic Church Laid Bare by Quotations

    The following quotes demonstrate the Roman Catholic church is a false and apostate church!!!! It is full of arrogance and hubris. The power hungry, lascivious, and vain popes have acted atrociously over the centuries. Roman Catholics believe in the church alone (Sola Ecclesia) and not the Scriptures as they should. These quotes are just a…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • The Gospel: Defined and Defended

    Background If you ask many people, who espouse Christ and go to church every week, just what is the gospel you will get various responses. Some will say being a “good person” is the gospel. Roman Catholics may say the gospel is that Jesus died for us and is present in a real way in…

  • 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…
