The Islamic Jesus – Zero Standards

We Christians always accuse Muslims of double standards.  Applying one set of standards to our faith while applying a different set to theirs.  Well, I’ve been listening to some old stuff and of course arguing with people online and it just came to me.  They have absolutely zero standards.  It’s not just a lesser standard.  There are no standards whatsoever.

Islam, St. Paul, and the Roman Emperors

As we Christian apologists know, Muslim apologists blame St. Paul for making Christianity the way it is today.  St. Paul is responsible for promoting the death, resurrection, and deity of Christ.  It’s actually quite amazing when you think about it.  A Jew, probably educated similarly to a modern rabbi today is able to subvert the whole movement from Tawheed to Trinitarianism, escape from death to death and resurrection and the destruction of the true Injeel.

But Jesus Didn’t Mention Homosexuality…

I hope that all my readers had a great Easter weekend.  I had a great Easter vigil celebrating the resurrection of our Lord.  It brought me a lot of peace in this time of chaos.  I also want to congratulate all of those who entered the Church.  I’m honoured to have you as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Haqiqatjou, Karacay, and the Didache

It really bothers Muslims that they can’t prove that Christ, his disciples, or his blessed mother were Muslims.  Of course they claim that they were but there is no proof.  There also isn’t proof of an early Islamic Christian community in the first century.  While we know of many heretical groups in existence in the first couple centuries of the Church, there is no community that is Islamic.

Attention Muslims: James Endorses Paul

Modern Muslim apologists are eager to point out the connection with Islam and Jewish Christianity which died out.  What they don’t do is actually look at how these early Jewish Christians lived, practiced their faith and what they believed.  The big portion of Scripture is Acts 21.  It’s the big encounter between their “buddy” James and their “enemy” Paul.

The Sede Dilemma

St. Vincent Ferrer

I’m going to do something that I told myself I’d never do when I made this website.  I’m going to talk about sedevacantism.  For those who don’t know, sedevacantists are a group of Catholics(it may bother some that I say they’re Catholics but they are) who believe that the throne of Peter has been empty since October 9, 1958.  They say that John XXIII and all the popes after him are antipopes.  I should point out that every Cardinal who voted for John XXIII was made into a Cardinal by a valid pope according to the sedevacantists.

Another Fourth Crusade Blunder

The fourth crusade is the crusade where the crusaders sacked Constantinople and end up occupying it for half a century.  It’s a very low point in relations with the Greek Church and only added fuel to the fire of the Humbert vs. Cerularius episode in 1054.  I’ve been reading primary sources on this crusade and it turns out there is another blunder that the crusaders made.

Book Review: Pope Peter by Joe Heschmeyer

Whenever there is a bestseller I always need to read it.  If a book has been on the top of the New York Times bestseller list for ten weeks or so I have to read it; even if I’ve never read anything by the author, if anything just to know what the culture is thinking.  The same applies to books in the religious realm in which the book Pope Peter by Joe Heschmeyer fits the bill.  Catholic and Protestant YouTubers are talking about this book and Heschmeyer is having quite a few interviews.  I decided to take the plunge and read it.

That book changed me…

I want to give a follow up on the book that I talked about in my last post; the St. Robert Bellarmine book on purgatory.  To make a long story short, that book really changed me.  St. Robert Bellarmine makes an airtight case for purgatory using both testaments, the Church fathers and Church councils.  To make a long story short, purgatory exists and St. Robert Bellarmine has proved it beyond reasonable doubt.
