  • 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.

  • Pat Robertson: A Good and Faithful Servant

    Pat Robertson did more for God, and more to advance the Kingdom and help people hurting than every single one of his detractors combined! All this demonstrates the love of God!!! If you have perfect doctrine, but possess no love, you are Hell bound! I’ve seen some Christians on Facebook assert that Pat didn’t preach…

  • The Chosen: A Reformed Defense of the Show

    The very popular TV series, The Chosen, tells the story of Jesus over the course of 7 seasons (currently on season 3). It has sharply divided Christians as to whether it is proper or not.

  • Reformed vs Catholic: Determining Doctrine

    “The Bible claims to be the sole and sufficient infallible rule of faith for the Christian church. The Scriptures are not in need of any supplement; their authority comes from their nature as God-breathed revelation; their authority is not dependent upon man, church, or council. The Scriptures are self-consistent, self-interpreting, and self-authenticating. The Christian church…
