Yes, Jesus BUILDS the Church, He doesn't build junk that would require a re-build. Mmm, not quite. God didn't DECLARE it, He REVEALED it to a sinful human who declared it. Obviously, God revealed Jesus' identity to Peter, I don't think God sent Peter a text message to his brain, it must go...

epilogue from post #499: III. The True Marks of the Church, And Why They Matter The (Calvinist) Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) acknowledges that: There are three important points to be made here. There are distinctive marks that the true Church must hold to, laid out by the Nicene Creed...

This past weekend, a Calvinist explained to me that she left the Methodists after concluding that they weren’t a church, since they didn’t preach the pure word of God. To Catholic ears, this sort of claim can sound pretty strange, so I wanted to explain what Calvinists mean by this, and why it’s...

Oh boy, another anti-Catholic thread posted by a professed Hislopite who thinks Sabbath keeping is more important than the Resurrection. :rolleyes:. Sabbath keeping was valid for our Elder Brother, THE JEWS, who rejected Christ and the message of the New Testament. +++ Scripture Isaiah 1:13 –...

Calm down. There are plenty of good, holy Protestants and Catholics that outshine the bad ones. Judging whole communities based on the ones who don't live by it's precepts is like sayin aspirin doesn't help headaches for those who don't take it. It's unfair and irrational. It is junk because no...

Tradition isn't a dirty word. Why can't it be both? "some building" is not a bad thing. Can you fit 120 people in your living room? Ephesians 4 says we need the church for sound teaching, sola scriptura says you don't. They both can't be true at the same time.

Yes, God is sovereign, but Scott Hahn has a different take on judgement. I don't see God like the Norse god, a big man with a long gray beard firing lightening bolts on everybody he doesn't like. I think you would agree God is a loving Father. IMHO, Scott Hahn has the gift of teaching. Even as a...

Straw man fallacy. God freely gives His gifts to all those who are disposed to receive them. I should have been more clear. The Bible is a gift to humanity. WHOA!!! I didn't write the book. You are commenting on a summary of a summary with a list of topics written by a Ph.D. author who exposes...

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/davearmstrong/2004/07/early-protestant-hostility-towards-science-revised-and-expanded.html Wrong on 2 counts. "some guy" didn't call himself Catholic, he called the Church Catholic. That was St. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, writing about a church you have nothing...

I often wonder if "Bible Christian" hate cults rejoiced when Hitler killed 3,000,000 Polish Catholics. Or if they celebrated when St. Pope John Paul II was shot in the stomach by a KGB puppet.

The Catholic Church, if you know ANY history, is guilty of advancing medical science that gave you a hip replacement. You are blinded by "Bible Christian" hate. I'm a retired medical professional. I am sending you to my ICU, (Ignore Care Unit). Dr. Luke is the attending physician. Good bye.

Catholics don't claim credit for His gifts, like your Bible. For a staff member, you should know how the quote feature works. You are the one who accuses members of snarky remarks, gaslighting, "carnal mind" ad nauseum.. Do you have difficulty understanding my signature?

Is that your response to your myth of the Dark Ages? Do you believe encyclopedias, doctors, nurses and hospitals serve satan? Does satan miraculously heal incurable diseases in Christians of every stripe, or is it God? Are there no trustworthy educated pastors in or near Denville, or do you hate...

How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer...

Put on your thinking cap, brother. Read slowly. The following is not written by a Catholic, but by Rodney Stark, who is not defending Catholicism; he is defending history, so there is no 'Catholic bias'. I am not trying to gouge your eyes out, I am trying to inform you, IF you can be humble...

This is precisely where Protestantism, from it's sorry beginnings, FAILES PAUL'S TEST. Here are some excerpts from Dialogue with a Calvinist: Was Paul a “Lone Ranger”? It is incorrect to regard St. Paul as some kind of spiritual “lone ranger,” on his own with no particular ecclesiastical...

12. However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, (6) the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest by...

Let's go back to the original question. I think you fail to understand the question. You are restricting "God's Word" to the written Old Testament, most, if not all, was received orally before it was written. Not only that, the Jews had no OT canon until the 1st century A.D. The Apostles were...

Sorry, Hobie. Your private war against the Catholic Church is as stupid as it disgusting. Maybe that's why you don't get many replies to your walls of text. Sunday observance is based on the Resurrection (that you can't find in the Bible???) Sabbath observance is valid for the Jews. They don't...
