History brief – How Halley’s Bible Handbook was changed for the sake of Rome
Analysis of the facts by former Roman Catholic, W.F. White.
From White’s YouTube channel:
Description
My name is WF White and I am so glad that you stopped by. I am a former Roman Catholic and I was saved out of that deceptive religious system all the way back in 1989. I must tell you that it is a miracle to be saved and born again of the Spirit. You will find that many of the videos on this channel expose the false doctrines within the church of Rome. We are living in amazing times and there is nothing more precious in this world than a human soul and that includes yours. The good news is that Jesus Christ came into this world to save ungodly wretches like me and you. Be Blessed in the Lord!
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Romans 5:6-9)

“The images were still retained in the churches, and mass still formed part of the public worship. Zwingli now began to prepare the public mind for a reform in both particulars — to lead men from the idol to the one true God; from the mass which the Church had invented to the Supper which Christ had instituted. . .”

The Mass and Occasional Hearing
The truth in no uncertain terms. Thank you, Meg!
Calvin on being present for the Mass (from The Unlawful Rites of the Ungodly) and the sin of occasional hearing:
Come now and consider with me, in regard to a pretended observance of the Mass, with what kind of conscience you can be present at the performance of its mysteries. Immediately on your entrance, the altar offers itself to your view, differing little from a common table, but proclaiming, by its very name, that it is to be used for sacrificing ! This itself assuredly is not free from blasphemy. You see the Priest coming forward, who boasts that, by the anointing of four fingers, he has been appointed mediator between God and man, who, carrying off from the faithful of the Church, and from -the Supper itself, that promise in which Christ gives his Body and Blood to his servants, to be eaten under the symbols of Bread and…

Worst Book I read in 2018
It is a good thing – something the Lord asks of us at times – to warn others. Thank you, Pastor Jim!
I guess I forgot to write a review for this book (sorta)…
Rachel Held Evans. Inspired. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishing Company, June 12th 2018. 236 pp.
0 out of 5
While I struggled to pick the best book I read in 2018 since there were so many runner up yet it was easy for me to decide what was the worst book I read in 2018. Rachel Held Evan’s Inspired was the worst. Probably not just for 2018 but it would be among the worst book I have ever read. I’m not a downer who review all books negatively; my reviews and ratings bear that out. But this was a really badly argued book. The titled should have been uninspired. It would make for a great text book of what logical fallacies one ought not commit. I’m writing this review out a desire to warn others since I see…
