White And Ally – Two Sides Of The Same Coin
James White is an inconsistent apologist. He is more than happy to point out how Islamic apologists like Shabir Ally use double standards to attack the Christian faith but when it comes to attacking Catholicism, he throws those standards out the window.
The Sanhedrin – The Majority Of Scholars That Rejected Christ
According to the majority of scholars….The majority of scholars say…..Most scholars have concluded….
Ever heard these lines before when dealing with Islamic apologists? I certainly have. To Islamic apologists, this argument carries a lot of weight. However, they’ll only pull out the “majority of scholars” when it backs up their position. Since I have written on this inconsistency in the past, I won’t repeat it here. I want to touch on how to confront these arguments head on.
Recommended Reading For Rabbi Buchwald
As I responded to a Rabbi in my last post, I will respond to another one here. This time it is Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald. He is the head of the National Jewish Outreach Program or NJOP.
Pope Urban II
Rabbi Michael Skobac is a Jewish apologist involved with an organization called Jews For Judaism. His organization specifically argues against groups like Jews For Jesus and similar groups. For this I can’t really blame him since those groups often use dishonest tactics that bring their ethics and integrity into question. I should also point out that Rabbi Skobac seems like a very kind individual whom I could see myself having a meal with or maybe watching a Blue Jays game.
St. Francis de Sales
St. Francis de Sales has always inspired me. I’ve read many of his works since he has an extensive collection of writings. In fact, Pope Pius XI declared him to be the Heavenly Patron of all Writers.
These days it’s hard to look at the Religion section in your local bookstore and not see several anti-Christian books by the famous apostate Bart Ehrman. It seems that he’s always got another book coming out attacking the Christian faith. As bad as things seem to be, all is not lost.
The Crucifixion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
In my last few posts, I have dealt with the subject of Islam. It’s an important topic because they’re over a billion strong and becoming more prevalent in western society. I don’t critique their faith out of hate but out of love for them. They need the gospel just like everyone else.
The Quran – The Holy Book of the Islamic Faith
The first Islamic document to attack Christianity is not some polemicist in the 7th or 8th Century but the Quran itself. The Quran attacks doctrines such as the Trinity and the Crucifixion of Christ. It attacks Judaism as well.
Dr. James White – Reformed Apologist of Alpha And Omega Ministries
If you were a Catholic living in the year 120 AD, would you know as much as you do today about the faith? Absolutely not! So then does the Church change her doctine? Absolutely not!
Then why does Catholicism in 120 AD look different than 2016 AD. It is because doctrine develops but it does not change.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Today is the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas according to the Traditional Catholic calendar. St. Thomas is the Angelic Doctor of the Catholic Church and still, after 2,000 years, he remains the greatest mind in Christendom.
