If he were truly smart he wouldn't be an atheist. If he's the smartest man you've known it's not saying much for you. Psalms 14:14 14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Why am I not a catholic? I'm not that dumb

I'm not following you at all nor does this relate to our current discussions. And, Catholicism is NOT correct nor the church of the bible.

I don't follow your logic: explain what you mean. You have to first understand why the manifestations of the Spirit were necessary then but are no longer necessary. Why were the manifestations. "gifts" of the Spirit necessary then when the church was just getting started and the word being...

Don't stop at 1 Cor 14:2, read the ENTIRE chapter so you can understand verse 2 correctly, which you presently don't. I've pulled a couple key verses out of 14 that clarifies verse 2 and keeps it in its proper context, but read it all. Excerpts from 1 Cor.14 below 2For...

The facts are 1 Cor 13:8. All so called gifts have ceased and are no longer active nor necessary today

So I take it as a yes response, that the people you know are performing miracles, healing the lame and straightening crooked legs, restoring sight to the blind, etc.

Just look at the catholic church's beliefs and there you'll find a myriad of things

Understanding it is far more important than memorizing it. Most people don't understand the bible which is obvious by their slanted, erroneous, views as evidenced by what they say and/write.

So these people you know perform miracles, straighten crooked, deformed legs, give sight back to the blind, heal diseases, and more?

You're casting out devils, healing the sick and the lame, performing miracles, prophesying, along with speaking in unknown earthly tongues, too, right?

Give me the facts

The facts are in the bible. Because people are babbling some incoherent nonsense that no one understands is not validation.

The catholic church can institute or change anything they want, but God's word is everlasting and unchangeable.

The "false" is the belief that they are present and needed today.

Unlike the laws of the OT, the listing of things, remedies, and rituals, etc, there are no such things under the new covenant, hence, they're written in your heart, and not merely a ck-off of things to obey as was the old.

As I stated, it's unknown and I would rather not speculate since it's of no value

Yes, God is spirit (no 'a' before spirit). And there's nothing in scripture that says that angels were created in God's image. To say so would be only speculation based on nothing. Satan is referred to as an angel of light 2 Cor 11:14. Also, the dragon and his angels fought with Michael and his...

Jesus lived under the law and fulfilled the law, hence the sabbath. The sabbath has nothing to do with the new testament or Christianity.

Just for clarity, John 4:24 is a bad translation as in the KJV. Its not "God is a spirit", but rather God is spirit. Big difference. God is spirit means he is the life force, energy, the breathe of life, etc., as opposed to a spirit. Look at other translations as well as the interlinear. Even...
