For those of my readers not familiar with apologetics, I will explain the situation regarding supposed Pseudo-Pauline authorship. In the NT, we have 13 epistles with St. Paul’s name on them. I’m going to be dividing them into three categories.

Pauline and Supposed Pseudo-Pauline Authorship
by
More intelligent enemies of the Christian Faith really cling on to the theory that St. Paul didn’t write half of the books described to him. Muslims really like this theory, not because they actually care what St. Paul wrote as most Muslims don’t much like St. Paul, but to discredit the New Testament. Why should we trust a document containing multiple forgeries? It’s a valid point. If I believed that the NT was full of forgeries, I wouldn’t trust it for theological purposes; historical purposes maybe but certainly not theological. I simply believe that the NT doesn’t contain forgeries.
Off to the Land of Euromaidan

I really wanted to talk about the Pope’s change to the CCC but unfortunately the timing was a bit off. I leave for vacation tomorrow. I’m off to the land where it seems Stepan Bandera has been resurrected as a national hero. Yes, I’m off to the Ukraine; the land of my maternal ancestry and Euromaidan.

I’ve started to notice something about Jewish history and I find it quite appalling. I find this in Jewish books, articles and other writings. We can all agree that the holocaust was an extremely tragic event in human history. Jews certainly know this more than anyone. Sadly, it has deeply affected the way that Jews think and do history.
Robert Spencer vs. E. Michael Jones

I had heard a month or two ago that Robert Spencer had left the Catholic Church. Some Google searching had suggested that he had joined the Orthodox Church which is apparently the Church he was baptized into as a child. It’s disappointing to see people leave my faith but Robert Spencer had never criticized Islam from a Catholic perspective and the above video certainly shows that.
If Muhammad Were a Biblical Prophet he Would Have Done This
by
The Last Supper
In my last post, I talked a lot about how Muhammad never mentioned that a covenant with Ishmael existed. The idea of a covenant seems foreign to Islam, however they’re very important in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testament. They actually show why Muhammad is not a Prophet by Biblical standards.

I recently re-watched one of my favorite debates which included David Wood and Zakir Hussain. The debate took place many years ago and was called Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and the Covenant. I remember being impressed with a lot of David Wood’s answers. However, in re-watching the debate, I was a bit disappointed in something that David Wood did, or rather didn’t do.
What Would Luther Think About This?

I recently read this article about the decline of the mainline Protestant religion in Minnesota. It also talked about the Catholic Church. The three Protestant groups it mentions are the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the United Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church.
Medjugorje Just Won’t Leave Me Alone

A picture I took in Medjugorje
Last weekend I was in my hometown. On Sunday, my mother and I went to the Byzantine Catholic Church as we usually do when I’m home. The last thing I expected was for the priest to give an entire homily on the controversial and unapproved supposed Marian apparitions at Medjugorje, which is found in modern day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Blog Numbers Since James White’s Webcast
by
In August of 2016 James White did a one hour piece responding to an article that I had written. When this happened his fans swarmed my page. I have to admit, I had my hands full responding to all of their criticisms but at the same time I really liked the amount of views that I was getting on my blog.
