Fourth Century Arian Icons





So... not only did the pre-Constantinian Christians and Jews already have icons, –as the late-second to early-third century church and synagogue unearthed during the excavations at the Dura-Europos archeological site bear historical witness to this indisputable fact–, but the same also holds true for non-Constantinian and even anti-Constantinian Christian heretics... rather odd, isn't it?

Unanswered Questions


Imagine Muslims going to Christians and saying, "Oh, your interpretation of the Bible is just tradition, we know what it really means."

Imagine Protestants going to pre-Reformation Christians and saying, "Oh, your interpretation of the Bible is just tradition, we know what it really means."



Wait, doesn't this sound familiar? Ah yes...it's because this is what many Muslim apologists do.

It is just as dishonest and shameful when Christians do it as when Muslims do it.

I wholeheartedly agree.

The Protestant Deformation


... or how Scripture Alone mutilates Scripture:

John 3:16 For God so hated the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Fallacy Of Believing That Saint James Speaks Of Justification Before Men


Matthew 6:1 ¶Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 5 ¶And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 16 ¶Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
