We will examine (arguably) three of the clearest examples of that. 1 Timothy 3:15... Read more

Summary: We discuss three NT passages that are devastatingly “UnProtestant”: having to do with sola Scriptura and an infallible Church, faith alone (sola fide), and prayer and penances for the dead. Introduction: Non-Catholics often exclaim, “I just go by the Bible!” and insist that everything they believe can be backed up by Scripture (alone!).

In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong take a hard look at Scripture and Church history to answer this... Read more

He has always ignored my counter-replies, refusing to offer any substantive answer back; instead, going straight to personal insult and slander. It doesn’t say much for his self-confidence or debating ability; nor for... Read more
