You repeat yourself, and it is ok with me that you believe as you do. We do not agree, so what.When I referred to a sacrament, it had nothing to do with you or your Church or your friends. From your 30 years of study you should have known what I was referring to just as you should have known...

the Pharisees thought they could see too, hardly a claim to be proud of. Being really blind would be someone watching, and I say watching because the ignorance of the apparent statement suggests someone going through the motions; watching a Sacrament conducted in their own Church and not...

Easy Goldy, I love Her too and you are not alone here. Just have to abide by house rules or one is not allowed to stay.Peace be with you.

Always find it rich coming from people who claim years of studies ( 30), believes "Rome invented" the Sacrament in the 4th century, disparage the first 400 years of writings by Christian leaders and instead offers as more support the word of a modern friend who apparently does not even recognize...

no, but in practice those who claim it in my experience do not differ much from my own beliefs. One who "falls away" becomes someone to them that was never saved to begin with. So am not sure in the bigger picture why it is such a big deal.

(ffbruce;62759) I don't know why, but I've just never quite been able to get into Chesterton. I don't know how many times I've gotten part way through Orthodoxy only to put it away and start in on something else. My reading kind of goes in streaks - based partly on what I need to study for...

(ffbruce;62823) PetriFB, I'd be curious to know why you posted this link, because what it contains is actually pretty commonly known.For Waquinas and Christina, I'd be curious to know what you find so objectionable and "full of lies" about it. The criteria, by which the Canon of Scripture was...

Aquinas - obviously and then maybe Chesterton, also like Lewis

John - God's love for us

am not sure how to reject (or accept) something on the basis that it is "not Biblical" when everything presented to suggest I either accept or reject it is not in the Bible.IOW you made your "proof" as to what canon we should accept from sources outside the Bible, then asked us to reject "that...

am voting McCain tomorrow as what I see as the only logical choice, especially for a Christian. However in this case I think it may be a bit overstated as McCain apparently voted for exssentially the same kind of levy against coal. - maybe McCain is not immune from pressure of the enviromental...

(Follower;62259) If someone like Obama can win an electin in America, the opposition party must be dead or dying. you are assuming he is winning. Just ask yourself why someone would risk raising millions in illegal donations and spend it on expensive tv ads (the most expensive ever), way...

(Follower;62193) That sums up why the Republican party is dieing. if dems believed the crap they peddle - that the party for America is dying, then one wonders why they would risk collecting millions in illegal campaign contributions just to then spend it on a 30 minute infomercial in a race...

while the idea sounds nice to those making less than $200000, the reality of taxing wealth is those are the people giving the less fortunate the jobs. Make it harder for those people to do that by increasing their taxes and you give then positive reinforcement to stop doing it. If you want to...

take it to them George!!!!! And don't ask for my permission.

"It is finished."!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(marksman;61413) Considered lost, the Didache was rediscovered by Philotheos Bryennios, a Greek Orthodox metropolitan bishop of Nicomedia in 1873 in the Greek Codex Hierosolymitanus written in 1053. Bryennios published it ten years later. He had earlier published the full text of the Epistles of...

don't believe the media - i do not think Obama will win - am not sure it will even be close

(marksman;61087) Of course assuming that it was written by the apostles which you have no proof. :music: Give you credit for either recognizing the Didache or being able to google.So are You saying someone wrote the Didache in the first century claiming to be an Apostle?Ok, guess it is possible...

Also left wondering why someone studying 30 years and reading "other" writers would exclude early Christian writers (including the Apostles and thier disciples) from their studies or consider their work "mumbo jumbo".
