Asking Patron Saints to Intercede; Miracles Among Catholics & Protestants The late Steve Hays (1959-2020) was a Calvinist (and anti-Catholic) writer, who was very active on his blog, called Triablogue (now continued by Jason Engwer).

Gallicanism, Ultramontanism, and Petrine Primacy in the New Testament The book, The Infallibility of the Church (1888) by Anglican anti-Catholic polemicist George Salmon (1819-1904), may be one of the most extensive and detailed — as well as influential — critiques of the Catholic Church ever written. But, as usual with these sorts of works, it’s abominably argued and relentlessly ignorant and/or dishonest, as the critiques listed below amply demonstrate and document. * The most influential and effective anti-Catholic Protestant polemicist today, “Dr” [???] James White, cites Salmon...

1) Romans 16:23 (RSV) . . . Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you. (cf. Acts 19:22; 2 Tim. 4:20) In 1929, a gray slab of limestone was found in Corinth, near the theater.

The inscription reads: “Erastus in return for his aedileship laid (the pavement) at his own expense.” Related evidences in the same excavation revealed that this... Read more

Biblical Hebrew Names with an Egyptian Etymology

This is a counter-argument to those who believe that the Hebrews / nation of Israel never spent time in Egypt in bondage. The presence of so many Egyptian names among prominent figures in the Bible (among many other demonstrable parallels) suggests quite the contrary. Eleven such names in the Torah (first five books of the Bible) and six outside of it in the Hebrew Bible can be identified as definitely or likely, plausibly Egyptian. In the Torah Aaron The origin... Read more
