You can only say that if you don't understand what Baptism is and does, and you don't understand Scripture. Somehow, you seem to think someone coming along 16 centuries or later, personally interpreting a translation into English of his/her Bible through the light of 21st century culture is...

Peter, are you just making this stuff up as you go along, or is someone doing it for you? Try finding an objective source of history. It doesn't match up with your own at all.

And who was Paul, but a member of the Catholic Church, the ONLY Church at that time? A little objective study of history would help you out a lot, I think.

I think we're speaking of evil itself, rather than now to commit evil or become evil. Remember, evil is a privation or lack of good. So, how do we define good? Something is good if it meets the purpose for which it was created. A pen is good if it writes. If it doesn't, we either need to...

Peter, do you consider yourself to be on the same level as God, telling Him what he should or shouldn't have done? Just curious... The New Testament, by the way, was written by members of the Catholic Church. And it was the Catholic Church, in the late 4th century, at the councils of Rome...

False dichotemy, Peter. The analogy here is Jesus is our King. The office of Pope (Peter was the first) is ruling Jesus' kingdom here on earth until His return. In Jesus' day, the king always had a second-in-command to run the kingdom in the king's absence (away at war, visiting other...

The office that we refer to as Pope, was established by Jesus as a dynastic office, i.e, it was to have successors. Historically, there have been successors to Peter for about 2000 years now. They key to understanding the office is understanding 1st century Israel and the surrounding area...

The Pope gets his authority from Jesus Christ. Authority is always "given" not "taken." And, authority also implies responsibility. the level of authority is always in equal proportion to the level of responsibility to whom the authority is given. Matt. 16:19 - Jesus said to Peter, the...

Evil is not a thing in and of itself. It is a privation of something. Like darkness is a privation of light, evil is a privation of good. Something is lacking.

I don't have absolute proof, but it seems like our President is under control of the enemy, specifically Communist China. If China were to gain control (buy off, threaten, or whatever) a President of the United States, I cannot imagine that he would do anything different than our current...

Keep in mind that the Church preceded the New Testament by quite a bit. The Church didn't decide which documents were worthy of being called Scripture (New Testament) till the late 4th century, at the Councils of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage. The Early Church Fathers, those closest in time to...

Small side note here... Homosexuality is not something one is born with. It comes from something that happened to them as early as 10 months old where they developed some sort of dissociative issue from their environment (parents, etc.). But we are no animals, driven to respond to every...

Well, to be honest, the intellectual level of this site is about on the YouTube video level, so that's where I usually try first. There are, of course, much deeper resources to be had, if you're interested. And I have long subjugated my emotions to my intellect, so this isn't an emotion-driven...

Parents should remove books that are sexually inappropriate from all schools. The moral demise of a nation always precedes its ultimate demise. An immoral people are always easier to enslave than a moral people.

There was no Eastern Orthodox Church before 1054 A.D., when the Great Schism happened. Before that, all Christians belonged to the Catholic Church. See a short video on what actually happened then, here: Matt. 16:18 could not have been clearer to those living in Jesus' time and region...

Made the wife & I smoothies for breakfast. Unsweetened coconut milk, frozen sliced strawberries, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and plant-based protein powder. YUM!

Christ was establishing a dynastic office (means it was to have successors) in line with how kings (Jesus is our King) always had a second-in-command to rule the kingdom during their absence (off to war, visiting other kingdoms, ill, etc,.). This second-in-command ruled with the king's...

Our educational system is completely broken. It no longer teaches students how to think. It teaches them what to think, and how to "feel" about it. We have now allowed the educational system to deprive at least one, probably two, generations of true education. Without a truly educated...
