I'll bet they do. They're all dead.

Did you know that the New Testament came from the Tradition (capital T). Tradition in this sense means teaching, not common practices, etc. See 2 Thes 2:15, where St. Paul gives equal weight to oral teaching vs written teaching. "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions...

So, hmmm. Did God appear to you personally, and give you a different message than He gave the Apostles?

Nowhere in the Bible, does the Bible say it is the be all end all of Divine Revelation. In fact, it says that not everything Jesus did and taught is in the Bible. Yet, Jesus commanded the Apostles to teach all that He taught them. Jesus didn't write a book to spread His truths. He founded a...

You do realize that all of the original Reformation fathers believed in Mary's perpetual virginity, right? Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, etc. (see the following article: Perpetual Virginity of Mary: Held by All Protestant Reformers The notion that Mary was not a perpretual virgin is relatively...

Very interesting post! One of our sons was good friends with a Mormon, whose dad was a "bishop" in the Mormon church. My wife and the mother of that family had very interesting talks. We're Catholic. The mother finally said that it could only be one of those two faiths that were correct...

Sounds like Mormonism, which is not orthodox. They have a lot of natural virtue, however, which we all could emulate.

The Catholic Church introduced the scientific method, as well as the university system, etc. Many Catholic clergy were famous scientists. For example, the father of genetics was a Catholic monk. The Big Bang Theory is attributable to Fr. Georges Lemaitre, a Belgian priest. It is a...

I believe that history shows that the Coptics were and still are a part of the Catholic Church. There is a group of Coptics that splintered off and went with the Orthodox, more or less. The Catholic Church is the original and oldest.

You're right! I misread your quote! I've deleted it now! But I have another question. When did these supposed "Holy Ghost" churches start? And by whom? I see no mention of them in the Early Church or from the Early Church Fathers. Just asking...

Thank you. I love cookies. :)

Education is not a one time thing. It is a lifelong thing. Now, with the advent of the Internet, information is available to all. The ability to think, however, is not always (usually) taught in our colleges. It used to be.

Something to think about. The world, as we know it, will be changing, mainly due to demographics. The Baby Boomer generation are all retiring and dying off. They are, hands down, the largest generation, not just in the U.S., but worldwide. That will leave a worker gap. For example, for every...

My tuition for a full load was $111.00. And we received a real education. You were taught how to think rather than what to think (indoctrination). In fact, some schools in my day required you to have at least 18 semester hours in philosophy to graduate with a degree in anything!

The moral demise of a nation always precedes its ultimate demise. History, unfortunately, gets repeated over and over again.

Get out a blank sheet of paper. That represents everything others owe you for which you haven't worked. As the Bible says, if you do not work, you shall not eat. Stop playing the victim. The only victimhood you can rightly claim is the lies you've swallowed from the left, who's only goal is...

Nailed it!

Clearly, you are a racist. Why? Don't you believe that God created all races equal in dignity?

That's an interesting post. For years now, I've had many people mention how horrible Trump was. But not once has anyone ever been able to provide any concrete facts about what he did that was so horrible! Not once! I think maybe they allowed the national media to condition them and do their...

No race is getting reparations for slavery, that I'm aware of. The whole notion is really based greed and envy and power. The politicians want to make more empty promises to buy votes. There is no one alive who was a slave in the U.S., or who had parents who were slaves. And, likewise, no...
