Seed Oils, Science, & Growing US Chronic Disease Rates

December 2, 2024 By Dave Armstrong

Our main guide for this survey of the harmfulness of seed oils is the fact-filled article, “What Are Seed Oils And Should You Avoid Them?” (Emily Ziedman, MS, Zero Acre, 5-8-22). She massively backs up her contentions with references from conventional, reputable scientific / medical journals. In other words, this is not just unsupported rantings from someone who has an “alternative / holistic” view, which many — often with a marked irrationality and/or unfounded bias, in my experience — regard...

James Swan Rationalizes Luther’s Intolerance Again

November 22, 2024 By Dave Armstrong

My title is a reaction to a thread at the virulently anti-Catholic CARM forum, in the Lutheranism section, called, “Bloody Marty” [referring to Martin Luther], dated 4-14-24). I’ve been dealing with the ultra-biased treatments of Martin Luther by Reformed Protestant anti-Catholic polemicist James Swan for over twenty years. See his lengthy section on my Anti-Catholicism web page. Swan’s words from this discussion will be in blue; his Lutheran sidekick BJ Bear’s in green; Martin Luther’s in purple; and his best...

Limited Atonement Biblical Arguments Refuted

November 21, 2024 By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

33 NT Passages Against Limited Atonement and in Favor of Universal Atonement “Turretinfan” is a prolific Calvinist apologist. He wrote an article, “The Intent of the Cross” (6-6-24), which was intended to be a biblical argument for the limited atonement (Christ died only for the elect, not all men). Here it is in its entirety (he appears to be citing KJV). I have bolded the Bible verses and have added blue color to the subtitles: For whom was Christ’s work... Read more

CARM Forum Wrong About Biblical Prayer to Creatures

November 21, 2024 By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

Five Biblical Examples Provided CARM is a huge online forum that is dominated by the extreme anti-Catholic form of Protestantism. In its “Roman Catholicism” sub-forum, the discussion topic and thread, “Why not just go straight to Jesus in prayer?” began on 25 October 2024. In it, a number of false claims about what the Bible teaches or supposedly never teaches are made. I will prove that the statements are false at the end by producing five scriptural examples that many... Read more

Bible vs. “Faith Alone” vs. John Calvin #4

Matthew 19:29; 25:34-46; Mark 16:16; Luke 6:35; Acts 10:34-35 On 10-8-24, I published my article, Bible vs. “Faith Alone”: 100 Proofs (100 Bible Passages On Catholic Justification, Sanctification, and Faith + Works [from 22 out of 27 NT Books]: All Disproving Protestant “Faith Alone” Soteriology). Later, I got the idea of inquiring as to how John Calvin (1509-1564), one of the two the most influential founders of Protestantism, along with Martin Luther, would react to these passages in his Commentaries (and then offering...

+ Catalogue of Sixty Traits That Apostates Formerly Possessed When They Were in God’s Good Graces [all passages from RSV. Many “thanks” to the good old reference work, Nave’s Topical Bible (1897). Nave (1841-1917) was a Methodist, so he agreed — as an Arminian / Wesleyan — that one could fall away from faith; hence, he didn’t overlook that teaching in his Bible references] ***** Leviticus 26:15 . . . you spurn my statutes, . . . you will not...
