    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Who said anything about the Inquisition. I was correcting Meshak on the Jesuit oath. You see....there never was a Jesuit oath as the one that Meshak posted. What Meshak posted came from an anti-Catholic website. It was an anti-Catholic who created that Jesuit oath. That oath is found in all...

    Reincarnation/Born again

    Christ said that one must be born of "water AND spirit" together. That means water from above and spirit from above. Water baptism did not come from man. It came from God; therefore baptism by water means "from above." Jesus asked the Pharisees: Matthew 21:25 John's baptism—where did...

    Is it biblical for Jesus' followers to approve of the military practice?

    Christ told the Apostles to carry a sword. And why do you mention the RCC?? Why are you putting down my faith? Is that the Christian thing to do.....putting down another Christian?? Don't you know that Jesus told His Apostles to carry a sword? What did you think the sword was for? It was...

    Is it biblical for Jesus' followers to approve of the military practice?

    The fact that it was instituted by God is good enough, and he instituted it also for His people. He is not going to leave them defenseless. God always uses people as His instrument even if it's to protect His people from mass slaughter. It is not in God's will for us to sin. We sin because...

    Reincarnation/Born again

    Reincarnation means that you can come back as an animal, not just as another human being. In reincarnation, the person physically dies and his/her soul returns in the form of another person or animal so that he/she lives again in another life. Therefore, the two (reincarnation and being born...

    Jesus will not lose anyone

    Hell was created for Satan and his angels. It was never created for man. But if a man finds himself in Hell, it is because he chose to be there.

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Let us hope and pray that the United States follows the example of Australia. Same sex marriage or unions was never about equal rights. It is about getting rid of a restriction to marriage...

    When did the Bible become the word of God

    The Bible is called the "word of God." There is no such thing as "Bible" in the Holy Bible. The word "scripture" in Greek is "graphe" and is referring to the Old Testament books. Jesus is also called the "Word of God" with a capitilized "W". In here, Jesus is called the "Logos." Logos and...

    Is it biblical for Jesus' followers to approve of the military practice?

    I said that God instituted the government. The government is supposed to follow God's will, but we know they don't always do that because the government is run by people who don't always follow God's will. Makes sense?? According to the Bible, the government is supposed to punish criminals...

    Is it biblical for Jesus' followers to approve of the military practice?

    According to the New Testament: 1 Peter 2:13-14 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. It was God who instituted...

    How is it that in the beginning in Genesis 2 when God created the 1st Adam and Eden....

    A question often raised in this context is whether the human race descended from an original pair of two human beings (a teaching known as monogenism) or a pool of early human couples (a teaching known as polygenism). The most recent statement to mention this debate was Pope Pius XII's...

    Is believing in the trinity necessary to be a christian?

    To answer the OP's question, one has to believe in the Trinity (three persons in one God) in order to be a Christian. Jesus is God, and those who do not believe that Christ is not God......they are not Christians. Jews and Muslims do not believe that Jesus is God and therefore are not Christians.

    Keeping Jesus' commands is requirement for salvation, not the doctrine of trinity

    In reality, the Catholic Church can only go one way because of the Apostolic Tradition that was handed to her by the Apostles. In other words, when the Church reads John 1:1, she already knows what St. John was saying......that Jesus Christ is God. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia: "The...

    God vs government

    Yes, there are Christian extremists who bombed abortion clinics and even killed abortion doctors. This is not civil disobedience. Christians are allowed to practice civil disobedience, which is peaceful. Bombing abortion clinics have nothing to do with civil disobedience. It is not even...

    Why do you want Freedom of Religion?

    Freedom of Religion was started by Christianity. The very first document that granted Freedom of Religion was the Roman Emperor Constantine when he passed the Edict of Milan. In the Edict of Milan, all peoples were allowed to worship whatever god they believed in. It also stopped the...

    God vs government

    The apostles also taught the following: Acts 5:28-29 "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather...

    God vs government

    The thing is Rex....Martin Luther was correct in standing up against the abuses that was taking place in the Church in GERMANY. The abuses of indulgences was NOT worldwide. It only took place in Germany. It's too bad that Martin Luther was not like Francis of Assissi. St. Francis also stood...
