Anabaptist Apologist

The Angel of His Presence In Christendom, there's a belief that Jesus Christ is "The Angel of the LORD" mentioned throughout the Old Testament. This is one of many feeble attempts to prove that Jesus had a literal pre-earth existence (as either a person of the Trinity, or as God [Modalist], or even-- literally --an angelic being, such as Michael the Archangel as the Jehovah's Witnesses teach). Despite their obvious disagreements, each of these groups would agree that the references to "Angel of the LORD" are references to the "per-incarnate" Jesus. But are they? That's the first question we can ask. Another question we can ask is whether or not being "the" or "an" Angel of the LORD necessarily proves that that person is God Almighty Himself. The simple answer is, "No, it doesn't." Jesus is an Angel of the LORD--I would clarify: the premier Angel --, but this isn't to say that he is God. Ang...

Prayers to the Saints: Necromancy Introduction Catholic and Orthodox practices of praying to dead saints are nothing short of occultic, satanic, and abominable. Despite their flowery defenses and feeble appeals to Scripture and tradition, these practices amount to necromancy and conjuring, both of which are explicitly condemned in Scripture. The Mainstream asserts that Mankind by nature is an "immortal soul," but the truth is clear: Immortality isn't inherent to Man's nature--God alone is essentially immortal, and we as His creation are mortal--we die; when people die, they do not immediately ascend to heaven or descend to a fiery place of torment (wrongfully translated "hell") but instead sleep in the grave, unconscious, awaiting the resurrection. Therefore, there are no Saints in Heaven to pray to; therefore, Catholic and Orthodox prayers to saints are satanic deceptions. Understanding the Nature of Man To begin, we have to understand the nature of ma...

Killing the "Mother of God" Myth of Antichrist Introduction The Immaculate Conception and Virgin Birth stand as foundational doctrines in mainstream Christianity, upheld by Catholics and Protestants alike, but not without some distinction. These serve as proof of his alleged "divinity" (in the sense that he's Almighty God) and "fulfillment of prophecy." However, upon closer examination, the doctrine unravels under the weight of textual and historical inconsistencies. While Catholics are technically more consistent in applying their theology to this doctrine, both traditional cults fail to reconcile it with biblical evidence and logic. The Mainstream Claim Mainstream Christianity holds that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, bypassing natural procreation, and born of a virgin to fulfill the alleged prophecy of Jesus' birth in Isaiah 7:14. Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-38 are cited to support this miraculous event.[1] The Immaculate Concepti...
