    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ok. This is good information. But, all of those teachers were born in the 20th century, except E.W. Bullinger, who was born in the 19th century. Wouldn't you prefer someone close in time to the actual events, rather than someone coming along in the last 100 years or so? This begs the...

    What's the reason Jesus is 'immortal' and men 'mortals' ?

    Reminds me of Joe Biden's hillarious statement, "You may have the facts, but we have the truth!" LOL

    What's the reason Jesus is 'immortal' and men 'mortals' ?

    Jesus had two natures: One human and one Divine. The Church calls this the hypostatic union. That term describes in a word the great mystery of the Incarnation: the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity assumed a fully human nature so that the one Person of Jesus Christ now possesses two natures...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Ok. Good start. Aunty Jane told you this, or at least you agree with her interpreation. Fine. And, you believe she is right. I believe you are both wrong. Where does the buck stop? Who or what is the determining factor of who is right and who is incorrect? Or does it not matter and...

    What’s wrong with Personal Sanctification?

    We are all called to become perfect and holy. We are called to become saints.

    And now it begins~ Election censuring

    The more the left gains power, the more censuring and persecution there will be. They are, without a doubt, atheistic Marxists. Their playbook has been used many times in conquering and gaining control over countries. They gain control over the educational system, the information source...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Peterlag, you have piqued my curiosity. Where are you getting your information regarding your beliefs? An angel? Jesus came back quietly in the night and told you? Certain books you've run across? YouTube? Where is the source?

    Commandments

    I think you're confused. There were two sets of laws in Jesus' day. Divine Law (10 Commandments) and Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law is commonly divided into civil, ceremonial, and moral precepts. Here's a good article that explains it more clearly: Divine Law

    Commandments

    Jesus said, "IF you love Me, you will keep my Commandments." John 14:15 The two sentences that sum up the requirements for salvation are these: To come to God and be saved, you need to repent, have faith, and be baptized. If you commit mortal sin, you need to repent, have faith, and go to...

    Commandments

    The 10 Commandments are a summary of the Natural Law, given us by God. So, what is the Natural Law? Here's my explanation. I'm assuming you have a car. In your car, in the glove box, is usually a manual put there by the manufacturer of your car. It explains how your car was designed to best...

    Biden Sad State of the Union Speech tonight

    There should be a test for all voters, whereby you have to be able to speak intelligently on the issues, regardless of how you intend to vote. If you can't, you really have no idea what or for whom you are voting and you should not be allowed to cast your vote. Add to that Voter ID...

    Prayer and Worship Practice of the Early Church

    The New Testament came FROM the Catholic Church, in case you weren't aware. At the Councils of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage in the late 4th century, the Catholic Church decided which books (the 27 we agree on) out of over 300 were worthy of being called Scripture. We all call that the New...

    Prayer and Worship Practice of the Early Church

    Clearly you haven't thought much or deeply about what he's written. Try again, though, in a prayerful way? Strictly speaking, the Bible is not the Word of God. Strictly speaking, the Word of God is not a book. It is Somebody, namely Jesus Christ. See the beginning of the Gospel of John...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Probably. The moral demise of a nation always precedes its ultimate demise. I don't think it's within human ability, at this point, to recover. God will have to step in and shake the planet up just to get everyone's attention. And I think that'll happen within the near future. (If I wanted...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I would vote for Trump over Biden any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. But I would much prefer another choice than what we have today between the two. Certainly there has to be someone out there who is honest, intelligent, and has the country's best interests in mind and is capable of...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I voted 3rd party the last time I voted. (Didn't vote in 2020, because the lines were too long and I'm too old to stand that long. Wouldn't have mattered anyway because my state always votes one way.)

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I think that pretty well sums it up. Isn't this a great country where we (currently) have the freedom to disagree with one another?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Might I recommend that you judge his works on their merit vs some predefined prejudice? He's recognized as one of the intellectual heavy hitters of his time, even by those who didn't like him.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    First of all, Mr. Chesterton died some time ago (1936), in case you didn't know. God rest his soul. But he was an English writer, philosopher, Christian apologist, and literary and art critic. Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    As Dr. Peter Kreeft once said, quoting G. K. Chesterton is like eating potato chips. It's hard to stop at just one. :D
