Out of the Mouth of Babes? Hardly!

Hiya reformed! Dr. Oakley here, with all my credentials and whatnot. Be that as it may, just wanted to show the Elect how far and wide the Italian Mafia a.k.a Romanic heresy, has spread.

From the Last paragraph of this Associated Press Article;

""I really want to meet the pope," said Cecile Adam, an 11-year-old whose family fled Baghdad. "I think he can do something to help Iraq because Jesus gave him a good position and Jesus wants us to be happy."

Now its quite clear to anybody who has attended any sort of advanced classes in sophistry, that this 11yr old Cecile Adam has not been taught how to exegete Matt 16:18 using Reformed ways. His apostasy was preordained.

Sippo vs Lortz Revisted. Interview with Ratzinger

A few years back when traffic not yet been noticeable on my site, I picked a fight with Catholic apologist Dr. Art Sippo.


Right now, Dave Armstrong is on vacation, so he won't be responding to my desperate call for attention.  Steve Ray, hardly if ever actually responds to my proddings, so i'm reverting to the one Dr. Art Sippo. Will he respond and help drive traffic? Only time will tell. If he does not responding i will spam link my site on Aomin and various other Roman forums, where i troll.


At issue is Romanichean theologian -Cardinal Ratzinger- who whole heartedly approved both Luther, and Luther-scholarship-improver-extraordinaire, Joseph Lortz.  My sources have confirmed that Ratzinger has joined the FBI witness protection program and goes by the italian name Papa Benedetto. 

Aomin caught up with Ratzinger for a few quick questions

Aomin: Cardinal Ratzinger, you previously endorsed Joseph Lortz assessement of Luther

C. Ratzinger: How so?

Aomin: You said in an interview a few years ago, and i quote "J. Lortz from Luxembourg became the father of modern Catholic Luther scholarship. He is still considered the turning-point in the struggle for an historically truthful and theologically adequate image of Luther. Against the background of the theological movement between the two world wars, Lortz could develop new ways of questioning which, subsequently, would lead to a new assessment of Luther." 

C. Ratzinger: Where in the sentence is there an endorsement?  I was explaing how Lortz's reassement had become a turning point, his way of questioning and thing of the sort, are viewed by some schorlars. I by no means claimed it  as a majority view point,or the most accurate.  If you look at my quote in context,you would see that what you claim is not what i did. In other words,  in an effort to get a historically truthfull, theological adequate  image of Luther, Joseph Lortz scholarship shoud be part of a kerygma of work that should be consulted.

Aomin: Now you are backpedalling


C. Ratzinger: Don't distort my sentences, lest haply you should be anathemized buddy.

James 2:24: Greek Text Exposition. A Clear Case

Before i jump into the nitty gritty, i just wanted to address some of the ad hominem attacks coming  from Rome. "The Catholic Journeyman" questioned my credentials, just because i misspoke about my Doctorate in neuro-surgery coming from ITT-Tech. Its obviously was a freudian slip and i meant to say Devry. Be that as it may...

Now, On to James 2:24. After my expostion it would become quite clear why an intimate knowledge of ancient greek, is important for good biblical exegesis. 

First let us look at the greek text:
(Greek): ὁρᾶτε ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον.
If you want to know what each individual word means in greek, then go pick up a bible concordance.

Now let us look at various English translations:
(NIV): You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

(NASB): You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

(KJV): Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

(ESV): You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

(NKJV): You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

I purposefully posted the five different translations so that Rome will have no wiggle room.  What then to make of these statements? Well, if this is not a clear cut case of your eyes playing tricks on you, then i don't know what is. Drop me an email if you have any follow up questions.

Exegeting James 2:24 The Calvinist Way

Romish apoligists usually try to use to use James 2:24 to brow beat Calvinists and other protestants when it comes to important doctrine of Sola Fide.  But Romanish interpretations need not scare you. When i say "you" ,  i mean Calvinists, Lutherans,  Musli...er..em..i mean non-Catholics.  Let us carefully look at the passage in James 2:24 (ESV):

"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

Romanian apologist apparently want us to think that the words "not by faith alone" somehow,  means "not by faith alone." But this is pure eisigesis.  Romanificators teach a false gospel of works salvation.  Let us now exegete the passage the way Luther did, and how his modern equivalent Dr. James White has also.

Luther rightly took the whole of....well i've just got bitten by a snake, will have to exegete at a later time.

Update: Luckily it was a toy snake, Pheeww! For a moment there i thought i would have to forsake blogging,  but i'm not in an exegetical mood right now, will move on to bigger and better things.

Calivinism and Me, New Blog!

Basically, the Title of this blog says it all. I'm firmly in the reformed camp. I'm not quite sure what we are reforming as of yet, but i'm solidly in this camp. I'm a big fan of Luther even though i'm a 5 point calvinist. I resent Catholics, and their attempt to quote Luther without using the all important Ad Fontes method. My biggest theological hero aside from Luther and Calvin would be James White of Aomin Ministries international.  Dr. James White is basically a man of great learning and intellect, I don't think he has ever lost a debate in his life. Basically he is the bomb. As a matter of fact my next blog post would be about a recent wonder worked by Dr. White. I hope you guys will visit my blog in the future, as i take on Catholic apologists.
