S4 Ep7 Real Catholic Inc. Trashes Succession to Defend Schismatic Vigano
And hilarity ensued! Now that Archbishop Vigano, conservative hero of Real Catholic Inc. (RCI), has been formally called a schismatic and excommunicated, RCI finds itself denying the Seat of Peter's "right" to bind and loose! The House of Cards again collapses. But then again, the Catholic Church is never quite sure exactly what the Pope's authority is. Nevertheless, the Catechism declares the faithful MUST bow both mind (intellect) and will to the Pope, in a special way, on all matters of fath ore morals, EVEN WHEN HE IS NOT SPEAKING EX CATHEDRA.RCI further attacks the foundation of...

We clarify the concepts of descriptive passages and prescriptive passages as we continue to seek to be consistent in our interpretation of scripture. I recommend a few video channels and a few ministry sites while reminding is us that we are all responsible for our won theology. We summarize our approach to scripture by asking three questions when we find a change in practice or command.What changed?Why did it change?When did it change?The Messed Up ChurchMagical Mystery ChurchBrother John ElvingAntichrist 45 - Bible Prophecy with...

Comparing the Healing of the Blind
We stop and compare the healing of the blind man in Mark 8 with the healing of the blind man in John 9. The Lord uses a different method and the path to healing differs as well. We need to do as Paul teaches in Philippians and "compare the things that differ." Sometimes when we do this we see how the Lord is teaching us different truths, other times the Lord is showing us differences between his plans for the ages.

We All Must Humbly Submit Our Doctrines to Scripture
We take a look at a couple of quotes from John MacArthur as he sets out to correct what he sees as false teaching. We pause to remind ourselves that we are all subject to error. We are all limited in our capacity to grasp all of scripture. So, we must all be prepared to examine, reexamine, and even modify or discard our own doctrines if the scripture moves us to. In the end, we all will answer as indivduals before God for what we believed and taught. It behooves us to keep certain doctrines in pencil and to always...
