    Koran Recital in Episcopal Cathedral Quotes Passage Denying Jesus Was Son of God

    WHAT were they thinking?! This is a horrible apostasy and heresy. A passage from the Koran that denies one of the central tenets of the Christian faith was sung aloud at a cathedral service in Scotland. The passage from Surah 19, which specifically denies that Jesus was the Son of God and...

    Are Calvinists Christians?

    When I am on Facebook, all I see are people talking about the "god of Calvinism" and how evil he is... Stating the obvious, I would say that they believe that Calvinism is a heresy and it's partakers are not Christians... Can anyone clarify that position?

    Origen - Saint, heretic or just another ECF?

    One controversial subject among traditional churches is the ecclesiastical status of Origen, who was anathematized by Emperor Justinian in an event connected with but not neccessarily (herein is the controversy) a part of the Fifth Ecumenical Council (which by the way my church doesn't even...

    Mainstream clergy with non-mainstream or non-Nicene theology

    One thing I am interested in exploring is the increasing trend of clerics in major denominations who express theological perspectives generally at odds with those denominations, collectively. For example, within several mainline denominations, I have been troubled by an apparent increase in...

    Did Constantine save Christianity?

    I just caught a bit of an episode from the six-hour series "Ancient Roads from Christ to Constantine". Going into it, I thought that the series would offer an interesting rehash of what historians know of the events leading from the early Nazarene assembly to the conditions surrounding the rise...

    The Cathedral of St. John the Divine

    So chaps, in another place I was recently shown photographs of architectural features of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, and alleged photographs of a Halloween party, that could only be regarded as disturbing. Now, disturbing incidents of liberal clergy at the cathedral...

    Ontological vs Economic / Relational Subordinationism

    Most of us know that ontological subordinationism is absolutely heretical from the orthodox perspective. However, it seems that economic/relational subordinationism, as well as the monarchy of the Father, is a more gray area. From your Traditional personal opinion, do you hold to...

    Social security = damnation, and other strange doctrines

    I recently came across a strange blog the author of which claimed that having a social security number amounts to the mark of the beast! Apparently we have to get rid of them, or we are literally hell-bound. Now why social security numbers, and not the equivalent numbers in other national...

    Forever Lost???

    I have an uneasy feeling. Ten years ago when I became a believer I was on fire for the LORD. I believed in orthodox christian teachings, I went to church, I read my bible, I prayed. As the years went by I grew colder, little by little. First, it was Open Theism and the teachings of Greg Boyd...

    Are the Sacraments Valid if the priest is a notorious sinner?

    If a Catholic priest is found to be a notorious sinner, say a pedophile, when he stands before the Altar, is the Celebration of the Mass valid? Is the Eucharist validly accomplished? I ask this, because some Protestants and other Evangelical Christians seems to think that if the priest is a...

    On Confusion of the term; Affirming "Mother of God" in reference to the Blessed Virgin

    So I've noticed a fairly common trend over the years. Almost inevitably when the issue of Mary as the Theotokos or mother of God is raised someone will protest by arguing that Mary can't be the mother of God because Mary didn't give birth to God the Father or the Holy Spirit, or that Mary didn't...

    Catholic Traditionalist Club

    This club is meant to be a refugee for Catholics in full communion with Rome, but who are having huge concerns about pope Francis pontificate. SSPX posters may feel free to post as they like, after all this is a Traditionalist home and they're one of us in many ways. Criticising the pope as...

    Horton Hears a Heretic!

    This is a rebuttal to Dr. Michael Horton's 1991 videos condemning the Word of Faith movement and teachers. He clearly didn't know what he was talking about back then, but prior to publishing the video I emailed him and asked him if he stands by what he said in the videos and he responded in the...
