Has anyone ever heard of Dave Armstrong?

javelin35 · #1 Jun 22, '04, 6:35 pm

He is a convert (reconciled?) to Catholicism and I found a brochure written by him at church this week on the 10 questions most asked of Catholics. His web site has 150 reasons why he is Catholic. Pretty good stuff.

Here is his web site.

I don't know anything about him, but I have visited his site. I agree that he has some great information. Particularly for protestants converting, or thinking of converting, to Catholicism. He seems to have a pretty well formed faith. I wish that I was catechised as well as he seems to have been...

I learned alot from his website.

He's quite famous altho he doesn't do talks. He's not the type of guy who give talks.

Whenever James White has something up his sleves, I'd check Dave's website first :P

Yes a very nice guy and you will ocassionally see him pop up on various message forums to post. I think he's a member still over on Steve Ray's forum (defenders of the Catholic faith).

I've learned a lot from his website. He's very good in refuting non-catholics specially anti-catholics like James White and Tim Enloe. I learned of this forum from him.

Dave Armstrong has an excellent website and has written two books that are very well done:

A Biblical Defense of Catholicism
More Biblical Evidence for Catholicism

I would recommend his books for anyone wanting to learn more about the faith. He has a good chapter on the Primacy of Peter.

Dave Armstrong's site is one of the best I have found on the internet. His site began my conversion process nine months ago, and here I am a Catholic

. He uses a lot of Socratic logic in his arguments, and simply and clearly shows how sola scriptura is endlessly arbitrary and the need for ecclesial authority among many other discussions. His blog is also very good, but a little too much on James White at times. I would recommend this site to anyone interested in the Catholic Church.

Hi!

Dave Armstrong's website was integral to my becoming RC. After attending a Catholic retreat with some of my Baptist friends, and attending a mass at a monastary, I became very interested in the Catholic Faith. I used his website to study things like Marion doctrines and the Eucharist---my main issues I had to deal with before attending RCIA. I began attending RCIA after studying the Catholic faith for two years. When I was beginning to attend RCIA, I told one of my dear Baptist friends. She cried, I cried, and she told me that when I was studying the Catholic faith to stick with the Bible. Dave helped me do just that with his website, and now I am a Catholic today!!

If you haven't checked his website--please do so!! Just click on the links that others have listed above.

Peace to you all!

Dave's website has also helped me a great deal. His articles answered many of my questions and were instrumental in my conversion process from the Evangelical church. His Catholic knowledge, reason and logic are impeccable. A lot of converts like me have a great deal of admiration for him because he has taken so much time and made such a wonderful effort to spread the Truth of the Catholic Church. Many thanks and kudos Dave!!

Here's another vote for Dave Armstrong.

Dave Armstrong's award-winning website is the best on the Net!

If all Catholics could know as much as Armstrong, and explain it as well as he does, not one would ever leave the Church and we could convert the world.

Thanks for the tip.

Steve Ray’s site led me to another great site that I had never visited:

Imagine, using sola scriptura to arrive at the truth of Catholicism! Talk about a double refutation of Protestantism. Not only does the bible prove Catholicism, you use a Protestant method to do it.
