Helping my Protestant friends out

by

St. Anthony of the Desert

When I first started this website five years ago, I had a more negative view of Protestants.  I still do hold to a very negative view of the reformation as it was a state sponsored looting operation but there are Protestants out there that have a deep love for Jesus Christ and the sacred Scriptures.  Now, I don’t believe in fake unity at the expense of truth, however in this day and age I think there is reason for us to team up in combating the constant evil that is taking over North and South America, Western Europe and other parts of the world.  I want to offer some advice to Protestants to help them with their spiritual lives.  I have five pieces of advice.

James White’s Faulty List: Pope Leo the Great and the Immaculate Conception

by

There is a list going around with eight Popes that supposedly denied the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Mother of God.  James White likes to talk about this list constantly and it can be found on his website.  Here is the link:

The Hagia Sophia and Pope Francis

by

As the whole world knows, on July 10, 2020 the Turkish court declared it legal to transform the Hagia Sophia back into a mosque.  I made a video response that can be watched above.  I basically take the view that it’s equally an abomination to have this building a mosque or a museum because it was built for neither.  Both are a perversion.  I also said that the true crime happened in 1453 and not July 10, 2020.  Basically I didn’t care as it was just one abomination to another.

The Burning Bush: Bible vs. Quran

by

In the Bible in Exodus 3 and 4 we have the story of Moses and the burning bush.  God appears in it before him and identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  He also tells Moses that he has seen the oppression of his people in Egypt and will deliver them into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

Adnan Rashid is in Damage Control Mode

by

Adnan Rashid and David Wood have been in a war on YouTube and Rashid is losing.  He seems like a nice guy but he just can’t deliver the substance that David Wood and Sam Shamoun can.  Wood and Shamoun clearly know the Christian and Muslim sources better than Rashid.  Rashid has been making short little videos, twenty minutes tops while David and Sam are doing responses that are 2-3 hours and it has certainly been devastating.

Interview With Timothy Flanders

by

Happy St. Patrick’s day!  I know things aren’t too cheerful out there with the coronavirus but now is a good time to grow in the faith.  Many people are isolating themselves and many that aren’t should.  We shouldn’t go to unnecessary gatherings.  This gives us a chance for prayer, holy reading, and a little Catholic YouTube.  I recently interviewed Timothy Flanders who runs the website meaningofcatholic.com.

Jonathan Brown on Ezra as the Son of God

by

A couple weeks ago, Islamic apologist Paul Williams posted an article from American Islamic convert Jonathan Brown.  It deals with the extremely awkward claim in Surah 9:30 that Uzayr(usually translated as Ezra) is the Son of God.  A lot of converts like to listen to lectures by Jonathan Brown since he’s a really good speaker, and is completely Western in look and dress.  He’s also pretty clever in a lot of his explanations.  However, in his article he’s really grasping at straws.

St. Cyril of Jerusalem and Sola Scriptura

by

St. Cyril of Jerusalem

Many Protestant scholars such as James White and William Webster have tried to prove the doctrine of Sola Scriptura from the Church Fathers.  I’m unimpressed with a lot of the quotes that they provide.  The quotes stress the authority of Scripture.  I certainly believe in the authority of Scripture, just not in the same way that they do.  There are only a couple quotes from the Church Fathers that I believe can be used to support this doctrine.  One of them(and the best one in my opinion) comes from the great fourth century father St. Cyril of Jerusalem.

A Question to Protestants About Sola Scripura

by

Pope Eugene IV who presided over the Council of Florence

I’m currently reading The History of the Council of Florence by Ivan Ostroumov.  It’s the Greek Orthodox account of what happened at the Council of Florence in the 1400s.  Four issues were discussed at this council between the Greek and Latin bishops.  These are the papacy, the filioque, azymes, and purgatory.  The last of these will be very important to this discussion.
