Hurricanes and Judgment
by Joseph Pittano on October 9th, 2024
I currently live just north of Tampa, Florida. As I'm typing this, the weather outside my study window is showing strong and dark signs of the soon overhead category 3 hurricane named "Milton" that's on its way. It's the first storm of this magnitude that Tampa has dealt with in about a hundred years. And I just moved back here last year! Great! It was a category 5 then a 4 out in the Gulf of Mexi...  Read More

Roman Catholic Indulgences
by Joseph Pittano on September 25th, 2024
on 25 Sep 24, someone on X re-posted this meme above with the following response:“Just going to keep reposting this every time Protestants lie: The Catholic Church has NEVER ONCE taught that indulgences forgive sins. This is exactly why so many Catholics think Protestants are simply unintelligent.”I replied with the following:Sir, I’d like to respond. It’s been well said that “He who frames the ar...  Read More

Imputation from the Start
by Joseph Pittano on September 5th, 2024

Such will always exist. Until Jesus comes again, there will always be varying ...  Read More

Church Authorities
by Joseph Pittano on August 18th, 2024
I have a strong belief that the Bible’s 66 books tell me everything (and then a lot of some) I need to know about what it means to be a Christian. It is a sufficient revelation of doctrine. This is another one of the many proofs of its divine authorship. It’s a necessary condition for its establishment as a body of doctrine “inspired” and “authoritative.” In it, we have the qualifications given fo...  Read More

Would Modern Catholicism Fix America?
by Joseph Pittano on August 15th, 2024
I wrote this on a X today and thought I’d post it here also. I could sum up the discourse as a response to a common idea presented by Catholics today that Catholicism would fix what Protestantism broke in the west.------------------Nevertheless gentlemen, a papacy had no place in American governance. You've both properly conceded this fact. As a Christian opposed to a papacy, I have a few thoughts...  Read More
