Don't Confuse Me with the Facts, I'm Told What to Believe

“The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him” (The Catechism of the Catholic Church). So, then, um, when the Bible teaches justification by faith alone, it does not mean what it says and when it says that we have one mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus, it doesn't mean that either? And this is because God lacks the ability to be clear in his book apart from Rome explaining how God doesn't mean what context and grammar clearly indicate that he does mean?!?! Baffling and worthy of the word PROTESTant. Read chapters 8,9,&10 for Tuesday, May 17th. Great and vital stuff to work through.

Sola Scriptura or Sola Ecclesia?

Here is the video that we didn't have time to watch this morning. Read and come ready to discuss chapters 6 and 7 for our meeting on Tuesday, May 10th. There are more copies of the book in the OBC bookstore if you still need one.

The Roman Catholic Controversy—New Series

Starting Tuesday, April 26th our men’s group will commence a new series of discussions based upon James White’s book entitled The Roman Catholic Controversy: Catholics and Protestants—Do the Differences Still Matter? Plan to discuss the first two chapters on the 26th. To learn more about James White, check out his site or the interview I did with him entitled Leading Questions. James is a blessing to the Body of Christ for his fidelity to the gospel and willingness to address the issues. *The books are being ordered so contact me if you need the a preview copy for chapters 1-2.
