  • Mary Considered: A Study on the Biblical Mary Versus the Roman Catholic Mary

    August 22nd is the feast day, on the Catholic calendar, of the “Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary” in the Roman Catholic church calendar. Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. This image above is as blasphemous as you can get. It basically elevates Mary to the 4th Person of the Godhead. Christ the…

  • A Critical Examination of the Marian Dogmas

    There are four Marian dogmas in Catholic theology. I will examine them, and you will be able to see that most of them are not biblical at all. One thing that I noticed: three of the four Marian dogmas are a mirror image of attributes and actions found solely in Christ. Here are the four…

  • 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…

  • Mary Deconstructed: Mariology or Mariolatry?

    I’ve seen numerous times on Facebook, Catholics and Orthodox more vigorously and passionately defend their Marian beliefs than they do Christ’s divinity. The emphasis is always on Mary! There are Marian processions with thousands of people carrying a statue of Mary through the streets, there are numerous statues of Mary that people bow to and…

  • Imputation & Atonement

    Our wicked sins were imputed to Christ on the Cross, and when we are regenerated by God we receive Christ’s perfect righteousness imputed to us. This righteousness is utterly alien to ourselves! It is external. We can do NOTHING to merit this perfect righteousness. This is known as double imputation which is part of the…

  • The Reformers Didn’t Go Far Enough

    The magisterial Reformers of the Protestant Reformation, men like Calvin, Luther, and Knox, were used mightily by God to restore the preeminence of Scripture and to declare every precept and doctrine taken directly from the Word of God which itself stands as the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, morality, and praxis.…

  • The Supreme & Critical Importance of Sola Scriptura

    The more I carefully and closely examine Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologies, the more problems and outright error I find. These theologies were 100% man made. Reformed theology alone is derived directly and solely from Scripture. The Roman Catholics and Orthodox are the blind leading the blind, tossing and drifting alone on the sea…
