Excellent, factual post. Good job!

Excellent point, BreadofLife! And Jesus promised that the gates of hell would never prevail against it. He never said His Church wouldn't be attacked. And the Church had sinners in it from the very beginning! Judas Iscariot, one of the Apostles, betrayed Our Lord. Peter, the one He chose to...

A lot of the problems that we see today come from philosophical errors introduced some time back that "infected" the thinking of modern man. The first was Rene Descartes. He started his entire philosophical endeavor on skepticism, and it was based on this. He said: if I take a stick and I...

With God, anything is possible. But, barring Divine intervention, I don't see it happening. I think it's harder when you have a society that stresses individualism to the degree that ours does. Everyone thinks they have to personally reinvent the wheel and get credit. That aside, there are...

I think we will all agree once we die, because we will see all truth.

Don't forget fixing our military. Get rid of the high ranking officers who are all about politics and replace them with officers who know how to lead men to fight and win battles.

The most important thing is to reject everything and everyone from the Democratic Party. They are straight up Marxists and traitors to what America stands for. Unfortunately, the Republicans are mostly spineless and disorganized. The entire government is corrupt, more interested in gaining...

Most Protestants’ experience of worship is really focused on praying, and reading the Bible, and singing. They don’t have the Mass. They don’t have the sacrifice, the sacrificial element. So when it comes to worship, they just assume if you’re praying to Mary, you’re worshiping her. So they...

The manner in which the angel referred to Mary as kecharitomene, was more than just a description. It was a Title.

Actually, there are two main types of sin: Original sin that we are born with (except Adam, Eve, Mary, and Jesus) and actual sin (sins we commit by rebelling against God). For purposes of this discussion, the context I mean is actual sin. God, by a unique grace, chose to create Mary without...

Says who? By what authority? You have an entire new Testament based on the same authority that says Maccabees were part of the canon of Scripture. You can't have it both ways. You can't pick and choose according to your own wishes. You don't have that authority. Authority is given, not taken.

If you know Scripture, you would know that what you're saying is completely false. With regard to indulgences, he Bible is full of examples of God remitting the eternal punishment due to sin while still willing temporal consequences. For example, David is forgiven of his sin in 2 Samuel...

Sin is willfully disobeying God. For example, breaking one of the 10 Commandments. Infants and small children do not have a clue what God wants them to do or not do. They're not developed enough, yet, to rebel against God. According to Scripture, Mary was not a sinner. In fact, that's a...

So, you claim that Jesus sinned. And all infants and children under the age of reason. Right? Do you know what sin is?

Personal interpretation of Scripture is nothing more than conjecture. Rom. 3 is not to be taken as an absolute. This is easily proven by just pointing to one exception. Jesus. However, there are literally millions of exceptions. Infants and children before the age of reason, who cannot...
