This is the transcript of the video short, “Eternal Hell – Top Ten Bible Proofs” (Catholic Bible Highlights, 1-14-26). ***** [Note that the first seven proofs come straight from Jesus Himself] Matthew 10:28 (RSV) … fear him who can DESTROY both soul and body in HELL. (cf. Luke 12:5) The Greek word for “destroy” here is apollumi, [ah-pol-LOO-mee] which means, according to W. E. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, “not extinction, but ruin, loss, not of being, but of well-being.”... Read more

“More Grace”: Protestant Commentary (vs. Jordan Cooper)

Last updated on: June 13, 2026 at 1:09 pm By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

Is “Quantitative Grace” Only a “Weird Catholic Thing” or Do Protestant Theologians & Commentators Also Accept Some Form of It? I’ve already posted the video short: “Degrees of Grace in the Bible (vs Jordan Cooper)” (1-7-26) and a transcript of it. Now I’ll be producing many classical Protestant commentators and theologians, who write about the same sort of thing: all of which runs contrary to Lutheran theologian, pastor, and prominent YouTuber, Dr. Jordan Cooper’s sweeping claims in his video entitled,...

Top Ten Explicit Biblical Proofs for Indulgences

Last updated on: June 6, 2026 at 12:10 am By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

Transcript of the short video with the same name. ***** Catholics define an indulgence as “a removal of the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven.” That’s it! It’s not complicated. Here are six examples of the root premise of temporal punishment in the Bible: #10: 2 Samuel 12:13-14. King David is punished for his adultery and murder. He repents, and the prophet Nathan tells him that God had forgiven him and “put away” his sin, but that his son... Read more

This is the transcript for the video short of the same name (1-7-26). ***** Lutheran professor and pastor Jordan Cooper, in his video entitled, “Where the Divide Between Roman Catholics and Protestants Really Lies” (1-6-26) stated: [Jordan] “the primary issue that divides us is that of the quantification of grace” (4:40) and criticizes the Catholic view that “you can get more grace” (5:26). He describes this as “foreign” (5:43) to the way Protestants think, and adds, [Jordan] “this really is... Read more

Salvation as a Process: Top 15 Bible Passages

Last updated on: June 6, 2026 at 12:10 am By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

Are we saved and do we possess eternal life that can never be lost as a result of a one-time altar call or sinner’s prayer, or even baptism? No. The Bible teaches that it’s a process. Here are fifteen passages from the RSV: ***** Matthew 24:13 … he who endures to the end will be saved. Acts 15:11 … we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus … Romans 8:17 … fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with... Read more

Perfectly Keeping the Law: Top Ten Bible Proofs

Last updated on: June 6, 2026 at 12:10 am By Dave Armstrong

0 Comments

Protestants often cite James 2:10 (I use RSV): “whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it”. But examined closely, this verse is not the same as asserting that no one ever has or ever can possibly keep the whole law. Protestants simply assume without argument that no one can do it. Let’s take a look at what the Bible itself tells us about this matter: Psalm 119 “Blessed are those whose... Read more

Sola Scriptura: the “Uglier Dad” Supposed “Defense” [?!]

Yet we find again and again, that... Read more
