    What is the one true Church?

    I would absolutely agree that the Gospel came from Christ. He gave it to the Apostles, orally, who passed it on to their successors, the bishops, and so forth, for 2000 years now. Some of what Christ gave the Apostles was eventually written down. We call that the New Testament. And, yes...

    I believe that gay people have as much of a "choice" to be gay as you do to not sin

    The times in which we live are very poignant. I have a book, Slaying Dragons, by Charles D. Fraune, who interviewed several exorcist priests about their experiences, etc. In the book, it quotes Fr. Chad Ripperger who said that Satan has, in our day, five demon "generals" who are assigned to...

    Black racist reparations panel in California approves up to 1.2-million-dollar payments to blacks living in Ca.

    The Democrats, who were the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, the Ku Klux Klan, etc., are still just as racist. They're just far more clever about it. They figured out that if they cannot keep blacks subjugated on plantations, they would create the welfare plantation and frighten...

    What is the one true Church?

    The Gospel came from the Catholic Church. The first members of Christ's Church, the Catholic Church, wrote the Gospels. The Catholic Church in the late 4th century declared the Gospels to be Scripture. Where, in your supposition, do you propose that the Catholic Church changed any of the...

    Black racist reparations panel in California approves up to 1.2-million-dollar payments to blacks living in Ca.

    Soros doesn't just want to bankrupt SF. He has previously stated that he wanted to destroy the United States. This was after some lawsuit he lost when he was younger. Or so I heard. He's buying District Attorney's to destroy the rule of law. He is funding Marxists to run for office, who...

    Black racist reparations panel in California approves up to 1.2-million-dollar payments to blacks living in Ca.

    What about the white slaves, held by the Barbary pirates, and outnumbered the black slaves in the South, during the same time period? Do their ancestors get reparation, too? Or the Asian slaves or European slaves, or Middle Eastern slaves? Slavery was a human institution from before recorded...

    US saying they will blow up-destroy all Taiwan manufacturing industries if China invades gaining credence

    Well, the U.S. has the know-how to make high end microchips. The real problem, though, is that the really high end microchips require a supply chain of several different parts that come from different countries. Cut one part out, and the entire process cannot happen. What needs to happen, if...

    US saying they will blow up-destroy all Taiwan manufacturing industries if China invades gaining credence

    All it would take to do China in is sink one or two oil vessels coming from the Middle East. China imports about 85% of its energy and almost as much of its food. The oil tankers will not run if they are not insured. Sinking one or two will make them uninsurable. Without energy, China...

    US saying they will blow up-destroy all Taiwan manufacturing industries if China invades gaining credence

    There was at that time, if I recall, an erroneous line of thought that if we helped China to become prosperous, they would lean further away from Communism and towards democracy, as well as being on our side against Russia. What a mistake that was! They took everything they could steal of our...

    What is the one true Church?

    It's not a contest. Lol. It is a search for truth. You cannot deny that only a tiny percentage of the population was literate at all during these times. And, Latin was the common language of literature and commerce, in order to save people the trouble of learning several different languages...

    US saying they will blow up-destroy all Taiwan manufacturing industries if China invades gaining credence

    Correct! Over the next few years, we will need to reshore or close-shore most, if not all, of the .manufacturing we sent overseas as part of globalization. We actually started globalization after WWII as a sort of bribe to get the world to side with us against the Soviet Union. We promised to...

    US saying they will blow up-destroy all Taiwan manufacturing industries if China invades gaining credence

    Even if China invaded and conquered Taiwan intact, they wouldn't be able to make the high end microchips that Taiwan makes. The pieces/parts necessary to make those chips come from several other sources outside of Taiwan. Cut just one of those sources out and those chips cannot be made...

    What Is Waiting For Us At The End Of Life?

    Just out of curiosity, Aunty, what do you call the denomination that you invented through your own self-given authority?

    What is the one true Church?

    And yet, God (in the person of Jesus Christ), delegated His heavenly authority to the Apostles. The Apostles, likewise, delegated this authority to their successors, the bishops, who have done likewise down through the ages for 2000 years now. Authority is not taken. It is given. Look at...

    What is the one true Church?

    The Tyndale Bible was full of errors. Tyndale was a Catholic priest who was, at best, a very mediocre scholar, with a lot of unorthodox viewpoints and prejudices. Even King Henry VIII, who caused the English to leave the Catholic Church and start the Anglican denomination in order to divorce...

    What is the one true Church?

    The Catholic Church was never against people having Bibles...unless the Bibles had heretical translations (like the Wycliff Bible). It was the Catholic Church who hand-copied the Bibles at great expense throughout the centuries after the Catholic Church decided which books belonged in the New...

    What is the one true Church?

    We aren't to judge souls, but we are to judge actions. We are to be "fruit inspectors." Read Ezekial 3:18-20 - If I say to the wicked, You shall surely die—and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade the wicked from their evil conduct in order to save their lives—then they shall die...

    Black racist reparations panel in California approves up to 1.2-million-dollar payments to blacks living in Ca.

    This is nothing but buying votes, straight up. And those who support it do so through some combination of greed and ignorance. Slavery has been a human institution since before recorded history. It did not start in the American South. In fact, the word "slave" comes from the word Slav...

    What Is Waiting For Us At The End Of Life?

    The post wasn't about you rejecting God, but you seemed to need hope. There is always hope is you are alive.

    What Is Waiting For Us At The End Of Life?

    As long as you have breath in your body, you have a shot at heaven! Repent of your sins (meaning turn away from them completely). I recall the story of a man who was dying in the hospital who had rejected God. A relative called Bishop Fulton Sheen to see if he would go talk to him and...
