I'm not mormon. "Pre-incarnate Christ" is not new. Neither is St. Thomas Aquinas, who argues angels do not have bodies here. I disagree with article 2, reply to objection 1 and reply to objection 3. "Intellectual vision" is another means of communication that does not require means, such as...

Gender roles are not culture based. Sure, culture often makes markers for what boys should wear VS what girls should wear, but that's arbitrary. High heels were invented to make men's calves look better, as were pantyhoes. Wigs were for balding men, as was make-up. As time moved on, these were...

Our "free will" is not given up with faith. Instead, our will is made to be in accordance with the Lord, such that those things that I want are the same things that God wants. It is not that I have given anything up, but it is much closer to me conforming to Truth and Goodness.

@Enquirer That's a bit harsh. I'm not Romanist, but I know that is not what is taught by their teaching authority. I will say that idolatry of saints does happen though, and is most notable in South America. The Virgin Queen is held so high, it is as she is the mediator between God and man...

Wormwood is awesome. Everything he has said on here is very scholarly and accurate. Rapture theory is not compatible with an educated understanding of scripture.

@Trekson @Jack The reason you don't have to take all of literature literally is because that's not intelligent. Some parts you need to take literally. Some parts are poetry. Some parts are apocalyptic. You need to read passages as the Author intended them. Revelation is apocalyptic, so don't...

The Holy Spirit is what takes the Word of God and lets us understand theology. Theology is literally "the study of God". From his Word, we do study God. As we understand more and more, a "theology" develops. You're not doing much else but saying "traditional Christianity is poopoo, early...

@StanJ Actually, I argue the opposite and say the egg came first on all accounts. The universe began primordially, earth began primordially, life began primordially, and even human beings began primordially. At the very least, it is consistent.

You clearly have a reading comprehension problem. I do not support Obamacare, and the issues I have with it are too numerous to mention. I do not support abortion in any way. The laws should protect the unborn. I do not support any homosexual agenda, including boys using girls restrooms. Boys...

God is three Persons, and you're objecting to Jesus appearing within multiple bodies simultaneously? I don't believe that's what happened, but I definitely don't rule it out. Also, the angels appearing to Lot are not the same angels that appeared to Abraham and Sarah in the different setting...

The phrase "Bride of Christ" is also a metaphor. That doesn't mean it's not improper to use or false. We're not actually supposed to have sex with Jesus. I'm a male, so that would be a bit sinful of God... I also believe that Revelation is infalible scripture. Do not question my faith simply...

Francis is a smart cookie. He hsa done wonders by being charasmatic and making a good name for the Roman denomination, as well as the Church as a whole. I do wish he was slightly more blunt on his stance against the hot topic issues, but then again he wouldn't be nearly as influencial. It's a...

@UppsalaDragby @ChristianJuggarnaut There wasn't any point in supporting my claims. The support would be seen as garbage by those who do not care for truth and are blinded by pride.

@ Vale So the Earth can't be brought into existence in 144 hours, but humanity still poofed instantly into existence with the only cause being the creative work of God, and no material secondary cause (evolution). Ironic.

Thank you for your input, but this really is just lots of bible verses thrown together. Perhaps you can write a small essay rather than post just the footnotes?

Ya, this is one of those conspiracy theories that I just don't buy into. Thanks for another one of these theories, though. I tell them to my friends occasionally. Not that I believe in any of them, but just to say what ideas float around out there. You know there is a real society that...

What's the point, Squeaky?

Everyone in my family has syblings alive, including the 4 grandparents. However, since we're talking about families, I recently began annoying my family with the fact that I am heir to the throne. As first born male, I am entitled to 2/3 of the inheritance, title of "his majesty, the prince"...

@Randor Do not question my faith. You do not know my heart. You only know a small box of reality. You will learn how liberalism and Christianity are totally compatible at some point, I hope, and your unjust prejudice will be removed. @ Tom55 A flat tax is unfair because the poor necessarily...

Making historical figures gay is really popular these days. First, the "lover" was Jewish. If he wasn't, Jesus' ministry would not be to the Jews or the "lover" would have gotten the same speech of how Jesus is not here for Gentiles. If he was asking to heal is gay partner sick at home, they...
