They are cultists. They reject the scriptures in favor of the Pope and the Catechism. This is my opinion and the reader is always free to reject an opinion.

The Catholic Church is an organization that is of the world and most of its followers are cultists.

Asking questions and issuing replies that failed to cast the Holy See in the most favorable light possible.

I get the impression that it has. They are very defensive about questioning Catholic doctrine.

God told us here that through Christ he is uniting ALL things in him. How is God uniting all things in him if some of his creation is being tortured forever in Hell? Ephesians 1:7-10 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his...

Thanks Bill. I will say that, in my experience, trying to persuade atheists that God exists is extremely difficult. I believe that is due to spiritual blindness. It's sort of like showing a color chart to a blind person and asking them to identify a color. They simply cannot do it. Let's...

Can you imagine all of us getting together for a Bible study? In 5 minutes it would be a massive argument. Do any of you participate or lead them? Is there a way to lead it so that it doesn't devolve into a doctrinal debate? Have you had positive or negative experiences with them?

It's insane to bring Muslims into western societies. And before anyone spews claims of bigotry remember this - there aren't any Muslims in Heaven.

Thanks.

Is there a well-known preacher that isn't a millionaire?

It was a suggestion, not a commandment. Paul was encouraging them, not commanding them.

John, there is no expectation or requirement to attend a church. Our only "work" is to believe in Jesus, according to Jesus. John 6:29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

There are probably some quality churches that avoid all of the dogma and focus on the basics that all Christians can agree upon, such as following Jesus through our choices and not just our words.

Many churches are businesses posing as churches. I also dislike listening to preachers spewing false doctrines such as the one about Jesus running a forever torture chamber. There's no commandment to attend a church although Paul encouraged members of his fledgling churches to get together...
