Matthew 16 and Islam

by

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

The above verses are Matthew 16, verses 18 and 19.  This has always been the classical proof text for the Catholic view of the Papacy.  St. Peter was the first bishop of Rome and therefore his successors carry authority granted to no other bishop.

Midway and Vigano

by

The Pacific theatre of World War II is quite interesting.  It’s an interesting episode of history because everyone knows how it begins, and everyone knows how it ends.  It begins with the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and ends with the Atomic bombs.  In November a movie will come out called Midway.  This of course revolves around the Battle of Midway which was the first major Allied victory in the Pacific.  Above is a trailer for the movie Midway that comes out this November.

Muslims are Ashamed of the Early Islamic Conquests

by

Islamic apologist Mohammed Hijab

Part of the Christian faith is something called Just War Theory.  Basically there are only certain scenarios when a Christian nation may go to war.  This philosophy was largely developed by St. Augustine since there existed Christian governments at his time.  It is largely based off of Biblical texts like Luke 14:31 and others.

If the Glove Fits…Oh Wait, Wrong Trial

by

Take a look at the picture above.  Can anyone guess what those books are?  They’re my diaries; or journals if you prefer.  I make an entry every single day and have been doing so for the last ten years.  I could tell you where I was and what I was doing on June 15, 2014, December 5, 2011, or April 24, 2018.  Name the day and I’ll tell you where I was, what I did, who I saw and how the day went.

Dr. Craig Considine and Christians Loving Muhammad

by

Many Muslims on my Twitter feed have been retweeting a man named Dr. Craig Considine.  This man is a self proclaimed Catholic and he constantly obsesses over Islam, particularly the person of Muhammad.  In the above tweet from a couple of days ago he talks about how Muslims say that they love Jesus but Christians never say that they love Muhammad.  It’s also ironic that this tweet was the only tweet on August 15 which was the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady.  He didn’t wish his fellow Catholics a happy feast of the Assumption.  He told us to love Muhammad instead.

Islam and the Assumption of Mary

by

Yesterday Catholics around the world celebrated the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven to be with her divine Son.  This is a doctrine that is often mocked by Protestants like James White.  I always say that there isn’t a verse in the Bible that denies this doctrine.  Of course that doesn’t mean it’s true, but I always point out that justification by faith alone is word for word condemned in the Bible and therefore its more consistent with Biblical Christianity to believe in the Assumption of Mary into heaven than justification by faith alone.  If I ever said this to James White I bet he’d mention the 24 pages of his book on justification(which I’ve read btw) that deals with James.

Jessica Yaniv vs. Jessica Swietoniowski

by

International news seems to focus on one Jessica Yaniv, formerly Jonathan Yaniv.  He lives in Vancouver but he’s all over Canadian and American media.  The Canadian right wing news outlet The Rebel Media did a piece on him which I’ve linked to above.  The reporter who did the piece was Jessica Swietoniowski.

John the Baptist in Matthew 11 and John 1 – A Contradiction?

by

The Baptism of Christ

I’ve recently come across Muslims trying to use the accounts of John the Baptist in the NT to try and discredit the Gospels having a consistent narrative.  Of course this isn’t new to Muslims.  It’s been a tactic employed by liberals for a couple hundred years.  It’s not like modern Muslim apologists are attempting anything new.

Ignatius Press, Conversion Stories, and Muhammad

I recently reviewed The Price to Pay by Joseph Fadelle.  A few month ago I reviewed From Islam to Christ by Derya Little.  Both are conversion stories from Islam to Catholicism.  Earlier today I just happened to gaze at my bookshelf and notice the similar spines on those books.  They’re both published by Ignatius Press.  Although Fadelle’s book was back in 2015, Little’s book is from 2017.

Canadian Muslims: An Analysis

by

Canada is one of the most secular countries in the world.  I’ve often referred to it as a swamp of secularism.  I was recently talking to a Polish lady.  She had been born and raised in Poland and had gone to church all of her life.  She came to Canada and she stopped going to church while she lived here.  She later moved to Ireland and resumed going to Church.  Canada had that affect on her like it does on many people.
