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.
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.
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. Paul The Apostle
It is often stated by liberals that the New Testament is an anti-Semitic document. Those who make this accusation often confuse anti-Judaism with anti-Semitism. They are not the same thing but liberals often confuse them. I don’t blame them specifically because they’re just following what they’ve been taught by other liberals who came before them.
St. John of Damascus
In the West, which is very multicultural, it is not uncommon for a Christian to dialogue with a muslim. It will happen more and more as our society becomes more integrated. We need to study what we believe, what they believe, and know how to argue properly.
St. Robert Bellarmine
Imagine that you owned a very expensive car? A Ferrari Modena perhaps. You’d probably construct a whole new garage for it, use nothing but the best fuel, only drive it in certain areas and treat it like you’ve treated nothing before.
Gideon With His Soldiers
This post is a response to an online atheist blogger named Melissa. She posted a video about American Christians supporting the war in Iraq and how since Iraqi’s aren’t Christian, going over and killing them will rob them of any chance of salvation.
Pope Pius IX – The Greatest Enemy of Liberal Catholicism
Over a year ago, I was doing some pro-life work back in my hometown. I engaged a woman in conversation about pro-life issues while holding a picture of an aborted fetus. She claimed that she was a practicing Catholic and a mother of four. She then said that she was pro-abortion and said that the Church needed to change. When I heard this I responded in a way that I shouldn’t have. I should have focused on the humanity of the unborn child and universal human rights but I decided to get into a religious debate. Though that wasn’t the time to do it, I will discuss this topic here.
Peter the Venerable – Twelfth Century Christian Scholar of Islam
With over a billion muslims in the world today, it is not uncommon to come across muslims to dialogue with. I have been to two muslim countries as well as muslim majority regions of other countries. Islamic apologetics is a big field but one does not need to study it in any great depth to know the most important issue in talking with them. In fact, most professional apologists don’t know this trick.
