I have personally been hoping and praying for this result since I became pro-life in early 1982, after attending a conference on the topic at the evangelical church I was attending then. For about a dozen years prior, I was one of the ignorant masses who wasn’t sure what to believe about it, up till then.

[book and purchase information] Francisco Tourinho is a Brazilian Calvinist apologist. He described his theological credentials on my Facebook page: I have the respect of the academic community for my articles published in peer review magazines, translation of unpublished classical works into Portuguese and also the production of a book in the year 2019 with more than 2000 copies sold (with no marketing). In addition I have higher education in physical education from Piauí State University and theology from the Assemblies of... Read more
Protestant anti-Catholic apologist Jason Engwer, who runs the Tribalblogue site, again accuses the Blessed Virgin Mary of sin in his article, How Much The Conclusion Of Luke 2 Contradicts Roman Catholic Mariology (5-17-22). He has done this several times now. This is my reply. His words will be in blue. ***** Luke 2:34-35 (RSV) and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a... Read more

[originally from 10 June 2007] *** Reformed Baptist John Knight’s words will be in blue. See these articles that are referred to in the exchange: Critique of Van Til’s Presuppositionalism [10-23-04] Critique of Presuppositionalism & Greg Bahnsen [4-14-07] ***** I would describe myself as a Reformed Baptist, following broadly within the Van Tillian tradition, especially as developed by Greg Bahnsen on the one hand & John Frame on the other. (Both were students of Van Til.) By common consent, Dr. Van Til... Read more

[originally from 23 October 2004] Words of Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987) will be in blue. I touched specifically upon this subject in an old paper: “Live” Dialogue on the Rationality of Christian Belief, Presuppositionalism, and Philosophical Arguments for God’s Existence. By a coincidence, this was written exactly four years ago from the time of this writing (23 October 2000). Here are some of my thoughts from that exchange, which will serve as an introductory section for my more extensive critique: Romans... Read more
