Why Does Homosexual “Marriage” Only Exist in Former Christian Countries

God Judging Jerusalem

God Judging Jerusalem

I recently read a great column by Canadian Pro-Life apologist Jonathan Van Maren who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions. He has also recently published a book that I will be reviewing on the blog. The column from Van Maren can be found here:

It basically exposes how Michael Coren is extremely fake. I have written about Coren before and have reviewed his most recent book on my blog.  It’s been painful watching what has happened to this man.

Secular Elites, Sodomy, and Star Wars

Star Wars: Bloodline
by Claudia Gray

We all need a break from our busy lives from time to time. I can’t read Church history every time I pick up a book. We all need to relax and take a deep breath and enjoy life once it a while. We can do this by reading a novel, watching a good baseball game, or going to a movie.

Church History Book Haul

As I often mention, Church history is a subject that is extremely important to a Christian apologist. Many apologists don’t understand its value. They believe that since the Bible is the word of God and Church history is not divine, we should focus wholly or almost wholly on scripture. I agree that scripture is the priority and that is why I try to spend two hours each day studying scripture but Church history is the second most important area to study.

Responding To The Dividing Line

by

Dr. White responded to my post about him last week. I’ve linked to the Dividing Line above and the relevant portion starts at 13:00 and goes for over an hour. I can’t respond to everything since I don’t want to be writing on this topic for a month but I’ll respond to some things.

A Pro-Life Testimony

Choice Chain

Choice Chain

I have been involved in the Pro-Life movement for a long time. It’s been a passion of mine through the years. The group I’m involved with is very controversial because we use graphic images to show what abortion is.

We often engage in something called “Choice Chain” which is where several of us hold large photos of aborted fetuses with “Choice?” written above the picture. Some of us hold signs that say “Life” and they show a living fetus below. We engage passers by on the subject of abortion and hand out pamphlets. Some people ignore us, some people scream at us, some swear at us, and some engage us in a pleasant dialogue.

James White And The Priesthood

The Double Standards Seem Endless

by

Dr. White is at it again. Yesterday on the Dividing Line he talked about the development of the Catholic Priesthood. The important part of the above video is at about 19 minutes. He mentions that in the 300’s during the Donatist controversy the question was ex opere operato vs ex opera operantis. He said that no one believed at that time that priestly ordination left an eternal mark on the soul and that this is a later development. I will admit that the theology of the Priesthood developed over time. I have no problem believing that Christians in later centuries knew more about the Priesthood than they did in the fourth Century.

Essential Debating Tactics

On A Mission: Lessons From St. Francis de Sales

On A Mission: Lessons From St. Francis de Sales

In being an effective debater you need two things. You need proper debating tactics and you need information. Information comes with time and reading but if you never master the proper debating tactics, it’s almost uselss. The key to debating is not to defeat your opponent but to let your opponent defeat himself. This is done by asking the right questions.

The Day Of The King

Christ The King

Christ The King

What makes a country a Christian Nation? In most Western countries about 80% of people are baptized and traditional Christian holidays are celebrated. December 25 is a day off in most Western countries. Also, if we drive through towns and cities we see Churches everywhere. Are we a Christian nation? The answer is no.

James G. McCarthy On Trial

Throughout my years of studying apologetics, I have found one thing to be absolutely disgusting. No party is innocent of this. The crime? Writing mock dialogues where your character makes his or her opponent look like a complete fool. Let me repeat: Every religious group is guilty of this, whether it is in the form of an article, a blog post, a pithy cartoon, etc.
