Does the Anti-Racist movement belong in the Church? Let me be perfectly clear: racism is never to be tolerated. Racism is a sin. My question concerns the Anti-Racist movement. This movement professor John McWhorter calls a new religion comes equipped with developed doctrines of sin and attornment. Who can forget the viral YouTube video of people seeking forgiveness for the sin of “whiteness?” One in Christ Jesus As I sat in the pew on to celebrate the Eucharist, I looked... Read more
What is the true gospel (good news)? Does the Roman Catholic Church teach the true gospel or a false one? Protestants claim the 16th century Reformation was a rediscovery of the true gospel. They are unclear on whether this true gospel was misplaced or replaced by a false one in the deep annuls of church history. What is universally clear to all Protestants: Martin Luther rediscovered the true gospel and restored it to the church. But did he? The Gospel... Read more

Is it possible for a biological male, let’s call him Sam, to be a woman on the inside? If so, how can we know? Does maleness and femaleness reduce to mere internal feelings? Is Sam his body or the “inner self” he believes he/she is, in this case, a woman? These questions seem modern but are in fact quite ancient. The roots of the current gender identity phenomenon reside in the ancient world of Gnostic Dualism. In this entry, I... Read more
Let us pray for the end of abortion. To end the killing of the most vulnerable and innocent among us. Let us pray that the womb, once the safest human space, becomes so again. January 22nd marks the 49th anniversary of federally legalized abortion in Roe vs. Wade. Its end is near. Thank God! Abortion is evil. Abortion willfully destroys innocent human life in its most vulnerable state—legally. As someone born in 1973, every year of my life marks another... Read more
All books written about the historical origin for sola scriptura are works of historical fiction. Allow me to explain why. In A Defense of Sola Scriptura, Norman Geisler and Ralph MacKenzie clearly state the scope of sola scriptura. Sola scriptura means that “all doctrines essential for salvation and living according to the will of God are sufficiently clear” in the scriptures. They also claim that the scripture has “perspicuity” or a precise clarity apart from any tradition. It is not vague or difficult... Read more
Catholics (and all Christians) should rest assured that God has no issue whatsoever with masculine nouns and pronouns, in fact He intended it that way. He wants us to cry out to Him, “Abba, Father! Read more
Our youth are at a crossroads, or “intersectionality” of sorts. They are taught by highly educated people (their intellectual betters) that their lives have no ultimate purpose. They are the byproducts of a cosmic accident. Their efforts, relationships, loves, momentary distractions, will ultimately be for nothing. Matter and everything spins towards the ultimate heat death of the universe. Is it any wonder the youth in the West experience identity crisis? They hunger for meaning and purpose. Can the Church give... Read more
What is a student of Christ the Teacher? In my previous entry, I addressed Dr. Steve Nemes’ claim that Jesus’ rebuke of the Scribes and Pharisees for their adherence and reliance on “tradition” over that of the Word of God and the “Teacher.” I demonstrated that Dr. Nemes misinterprets Matthew 23:8-10 and that Jesus was not condemning the Scribes and Pharisees’ teaching authority (He endorses it in Matthew 23:1), but rather, their hypocrisy. For this entry, let us assume Dr.... Read more
How should a Christian view Jesus the Teacher? Dr. Steven Nemes posted a video to his channel on why one should remain Protestant. He refers to, and relies heavily upon, a particular reading of Matthew 23, in which he claims Jesus teaches against the “traditionalism” of the Scribes and Pharisees, and how this stands as a warning to all Christians. Jesus the Teacher According to Dr. Nemes, Christ says he alone is the Teacher and all Christians are only students and... Read more
