    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    The same can be said of Baptists, Methodists, SDA, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Church of God, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, and all Non-denominational and peculiar denominations. Now if you claimed Mormons and JWs....might agree with you. But Catholics are not the enemy the way...

    God’s name….

    ALL the "names" in scriptures are not tags like we use names today. They are always descriptive titles of their position in the world. Peter..... John.... Adam Hawwa or Eve Bartholomew Barrabas Edom Sampson. These are titles.... Israel is a title and identity, not a name tag...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Most Christians are sure of two things.... That God loves them special.... And How wrong all other denominations are.

    Why am I not a Christian?

    Christianity is not a "feeling of God's presence ". And just about every group is going to have some aspect about their faith/belief in God that is going to "use all the oxygen in the room" Because they are excited and attracted to what they believe about God. All these various groups do...

    Would AOC Make a Good President?

    And I have an answer to the MOST compelling question that most people are asking currently. (It's related I promise) When the Democrats were in the majority in congress and the Executive branch they committed some of the worst abuses of office this nation has seen. The money laundering...

    Would AOC Make a Good President?

    Currently she is so far behind in the polls and the Trump administration is so far ahead with positives that AOC, or any other Democrat candidate, that the Democratic Presidential candidate is just vying for power within the party, the Congress, and not expecting to actually win the election...

    Does the inclusion of the Sabbath prove that the Ten Commandments were for Israel alone?

    It's very plainly obvious to those who understand that the metaphorical and verb based language Hebrew has been translated into a noun based plain, flat speech English and many of the nuances just do not translate whatsoever. But the intent is still clear. And history (we stand on the...

    The new Pope has been selected

    Huh.... New Pope is a lot more conservative than what the liberal Cardinals would like. Who would have thunk that?

    So: What caused the fall of the Roman Empire (if it wasn’t Christianity)?

    Several things caused the fall of the Roman Empire as the Church administrators failed miserably but tried desperately to hold everything together. One was the drachma....the silver coins used by the Roman Empire to pay for everything. They over-produced the silver....by over-mining it in...

    Can AI be used for the Gospel?

    What AI is good for is processing the data it has available to it. You give it the data to process (in various formats) and it does what we expect it to. It doesn't think, it doesn't look outside the box for answers....it can't make creative or intuitive leaps. Currently, it's being...

    Can AI be used for the Gospel?

    AI can ONLY REPEAT what is known and said answers. It's not creative. It doesn't understand humor or idioms of speech. It doesn't understand irony or simile or shifting metaphors. It only knows these things IF someone else has said it before. AI does not know the difference between...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    It's not my belief....it's a Catholic Church doctrine. (I'm a "rim of the pail" Baptist) I just understand their logic. Didn't say that I agree with their logic....I just understand it. People get hung up over the ordinances. You believe that Baptism is for repentance (which you just...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Only if they have been through confirmation does an infant's Christening (named before God) become a Baptism. Babies do not know right from wrong. It's not until year two that they even begin to have any sort of memory. (And it isn't much). So....it's a somewhat given.

    Ummmmm Are you really a Christian and yet don't know the basic fundamentals of the faith? So far all I've gotten from you is a wagging finger. That's not Christian....that's from The Adversary. And you have yet to explain the first thing in accordance with truth. What gives?

    Happy Mother's Day Mothers!

    My mom died year before last. Dad has moved closer to me. He is having a great time between activities at our church and in-laws at holidays. So, a somewhat subdued celebration this year for my wife who was a stepmother for my son. (She couldn't have any birth children) But we have...

    Looking for Bible verse suggestions

    Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the Law depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night so that YOU MAY FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING WRITTEN in it, then you will prosper and be successful. That ought to do it....especially if you are known for knowing and reciting scripture...

    The new Pope has been selected

    I'll be pleasantly surprised if this one doesn't allow Priest and prepubescent boy marriages. He's a liberal priest....not a true Jesuit or Franciscan.
