I wrote to Pastor Herman Otten, to ask why he was selling a bigoted anti-Luther book during Reformation, and including it in his Reformation promotion on the back page.
He did not answer.
Here is the book, where the "facts" are all stories made up during the Reformation by an extremely unbalanced papalist by the name of Cochlaeus.
Why sell this disgusting piece of Roman Catholic propaganda in the name of the Reformation? |
The Catholic Encyclopedia:
James is without doubt the Bishop of Jerusalem (Acts 12:17, 15:13, 21:18; Galatians 1:19; 2:9-12) and the author of the first Catholic Epistle. His identity with James the Less (Mark 15:40) and theApostle James, the son of Alpheus (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18), although contested by manyProtestant critics, may also be considered as certain. There is no reasonable doubt that in Galatians 1:19: "But other of the apostles [besides Cephas] I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord",St. Paul represents James as a member of the Apostolic college.
Paul McCain:
James is without doubt the Bishop of Jerusalem (Acts 12:17, 15:13, 21:18; Galatians 1:19; 2:9-12) and the author of the first Catholic Epistle. His identity with James the Less (Mark 15:40) and the Apostle James, the son of Alpheus (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18), although contested by many Protestant critics, may also be considered as certain.
Paul actually cited the Catholic Encyclopedia this time, but why quote the pope? Why be so lazy?
The rest of the papal article [omitted by Paul Without a Call] argues for typical Marian doctrines, using rationalism to prove what they already contend to be true.
This is just another attempt to promote Roman Catholic sources.

Here is Paul McCain's epic fail - the total recall of The Book of Concord.
