Please show me a Hebrew translation of Isaiah 14:12 that translates from Hebrew to English the word "he-lel" into "lucifer". The Hebrews even TODAY don't believe that "he-lel" in Isaiah 14:12 is "lucifer." If they don't believe it, why should WE?

For the same reason that you'd have to read Isaiah 14 in its entirety to understand that 14:12 isn't about "Lucifer." The priest didn't say that Jesus was the son of Lucifer any more than Isaiah said that the 'morning star' is Lucifer. It's about context, Robert. To read that "Jesus is the...

One doesn't have to look far to find fault with ANYTHING and/or ANYONE. Heck, some people find fault with Jesus. After all, he preached against becoming angry, and yet he overturned the tables in the synagogue out of anger, right? And plenty of people find fault with God Himself. How many...

I agree that Isaiah 14:12 is referencing an individual, BUT, I don't agree that the individual it's referencing to is "Lucifer", a.k.a. satan. Isaiah 14:4 says, "you will take up this taunt-song against the king of Babylon..." The Hebrew word for "taunt-song" is 'ham-ma-sal'. The word...

My hope is in Christ, and I do not "need" the Catholic religion. I align with the Catholic religion because it represents my own beliefs about the Bible. I see religion in general as a fellowship; Fellows in Christ within the Catholic/Christian Community...much like the Apostles did after the...

Nope. Jesus expanded on the Mosaic law in order to bring it to fullness (completion). The Law was never supposed to be about "do's and don'ts." Jesus was teaching about the spirit behind the Law. The law unto itself judges and condemns. The spirit does not. The spirit is merciful. The Law...

LOL! What a cop-out! Do you say the same thing to non-believers? To atheists? "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope." 1 Peter 3:15. So much for practicing what you preach... Yes, AND, we have a part in our own salvation as well...

And if you read John 14:12, Jesus says, " Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." When you write, "Jesus is the way", what do you even think that means?

You're entitled to your opinion. Thank goodness you are not my judge. Not quite. Simon the Pharisee in Luke 7:36-50 invited Jesus to his own home. And in Acts 15:5, some of the believers belonged to sect of Pharisees. Well, I AM Catholic. And I HAVE read Matthew 23 a number of times...

LOL! Even pigeons can sort of "dive-bomb" into us unsuspecting 'receivers' of their 'wrath'! Can't tell you how many times I've had to actually DUCK from an aggressive pigeon...or two... Oh, oh, oh! Just remembered another cute story! I was at the Jersey Shore with my daughters one...

Ooooo! Chipmunks! I forgot all about chipmunks! When I was in NY (and about 12 at the time), there used to be chipmunks that would scamper into the stone fence at the pool... There is ONE saving grace here...I'm able to witness a TON of hummingbirds...

Oooooo! I left work for lunch one day (in NY) and spotted a hawk...about 15 feet from my car...in a tree...'crying'... Where I worked had a lot of geese in the front 'yard'. Geese and a pond. Apparently, one of the geese wandered too far away from the others, into the parking lot. The hawk...

While living in NY, I was "gifted" with being able to have a job where I could witness a bunch of wildlife. Bears...coyotes...fox...Guinea hens...A tortoise or two...a peacock or two... But what I really liked was being able to see a BLACK squirrel, and an ALBINO squirrel. A hawk...a...

LOL! Awww...I'm sorry, Dev, but I'm gettin' a visual..................................:Do_O:p

Awww. Cute story... When I was like...18...I was living with my folks in NY (upstate). Squirrels all over the place! I once 'tempted' a squirrel to come to me by holding out some peanut butter spread on a cracker...and making that "tsk, tsk, tsk" sound. The squirrel came to me...and ate...

Actually, Paul is only ONE example. If Paul -- who was a Pharisee -- could be 'called' to conversion, it makes sense that other Pharisees could convert as well. Matthew 23:33 says (to the Pharisees in Jesus' presence), "You serpents, you brook of vipers, how can you flee from the judgment of...

No Robert. You have stated in other posts that you believe there is justification by faith ALONE. Again, read Hebrews 11. THAT'S what 'faith' is about. For SOME, yes. Others, not so much. If others being in a "box" brings them closer to God, who are YOU to complain? Matthew 7:13-14 has...

The biggest enemy of Christianity is atheism.

I DO believe the Gospel. And yes, I am Catholic. HOWEVER, I don't believe in Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura is NOT a Biblical premise. I don't believe that we live by "faith ALONE", as it is demonstrated in the bible that we don't (See Hebrews 11). I also don't believe that we ONLY have...

*Sigh* I DO believe in the Gospel. I just don't believe in *your* interpretation of the Gospel. And as far as what Paul said, you're taking verses out of context...aGAIN. Just because I'm "in" the Catholic religion doesn't mean I'm not "in Christ." Please stop judging ME and the Catholic...
