    unity in Christians

    Rex quoted from the article: The losses were among white Protestants, but not among black or minority Protestants, the study found, based on surveys conducted during the summer. When they leave, instead of switching churches, they join the growing ranks who do not identify with any religion...

    Wives submit to your husbands

    I am not a feminist. The feminist's claim is a false one. They actually lowered the status of women to be objects rather than human beings. The feminists support abortion and contraception. They feel that by giving women the right to abortion and contraception, they are making her equal to...

    The washing of the feet had nothing to do with Jews and Gentiles. It had everything to do with humility. Christ was humble, and He was teaching His Church humility. That was the example the Church follows. Humility does not mean to be a slave to the husband. Humility means truth.....a truth...

    Are you saying then that the article you first posted is incorrect? The first article you posted does say this: As long as they avoid confrontation and keep their congregations small - 25 is the maximum gathering allowed by law without official permission - the Protestant house churches are...

    This is what Jesus said to His Apostles: John 13:13-15 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done...

    Do you know what it means to be the leader? Do you know what it means to be the head of the family? Christ is a leader, and what kind of leader was he? He not only taught His Church and led her into truth......but He also washed the feet of the Apostles and He sacrificed His life for His...

    Foreigner, this is what your article says: As long as they avoid confrontation and keep their congregations small - 25 is the maximum gathering allowed by law without official permission - the Protestant house churches are mostly tolerated by the government. Catholic ones are kept under...

    Wives submit to your husbands

    It starts with the man because God created Adam first and the man takes the lead in how his marriage should turn out. If the man sacrificed his game or show, then the wife will know that she can trust her husband. She sees that her husband is not selfish and would sacrifice his life even to...

    Catholicism is also massing huge numbers in Asia. In Indonesia, 10,000 Muslims converted to Catholicism every year. 250,000 Muslims in Malaysia have also converted. More Muslims in France convert to Catholicism that to Protestant denominations. In Muslim dominated countries, Catholic...

    Wives submit to your husbands

    It's true that the husband is not under his wife's authority or leadership.....and a good wife who trusts and has faith in her husband becomes the crown on her husband's head. A woman who desires to take the title of her husband as "Head of the family" is a woman who does not trust or has faith...

    unity in Christians

    There are Protestant Christians who have converted to Catholicism, and it was the Holy Spirit who led them to their conversion because no Catholic evangelized them. Christians such as Scott Hahn, Tim Staples, and Steve Ray were anti-Catholics. Steve Ray, for example, went all out of his way to...

    unity in Christians

    All people are guilty regardless of whether they are Protestants or Catholics because we are all sinners. However, I would be more concern if I were a non-Catholic because the polls show that Protestantism has drastically decreased in the United States, while the Catholic Church has...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    It is said in the Bible that Matthias replaced Judas Iscariot. The Apostle Judas Iscariot was dead, and another took his place. As I said, God uses people as His instrument to continue His mission and ministry on earth.

    I don't think this verse is saying that a woman should become a slave or a doormat to her husband. St. Paul was comparing the marriage of man and woman to that of Christ and the Church. Christ is the head of the Church, and Christ served the Church and even gave up his life for her. When...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    Actually, there are many eye witnesses in Rome who saw Peter, and they wrote it down. These historical documents still exist. And Peter's grave and bones were also found in Rome. Archaeology has already confirmed this. It is quite clear in the Bible that Christ was never referring to...

    Is It Okay For Christians To Be Fans Of Celebrities ?

    I think it depends on who the celebrity is. I consider Martin Luther King Jr. a celebrity only because he is well-known. Most people think of celebrities as wealthy actors and actresses known on Hollywood, but there are celebrities who are well-known but not wealthy. I don't worship Martin...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    I agree that the Holy Spirit never direct anyone's heart toward any man, but Christ showed that He and His bride are one that He even shared His titles with His bride, the Church. For example, Christ is called the Good Shepherd. The bishops and priests are also called "shepherds" in the Bible...

    New Pope Named

    So much for Peter Romanus or whatever his name was. I don't know why some people bother trying to predict WHEN the world will end. I think the important question they should ask themselves is "are they prepared for Christ's Second Coming?"

    Is It Okay For Christians To Be Fans Of Celebrities ?

    Idolatry means worshipping persons or things by putting them first before God. I don't think that being a fan of a celebrity is idolatry especially if some of those celebrities are looked at as good role models. I think that most people worship money rather than celebrities. After all, most...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    And they were correct in choosing the name Peter. The words "petra" and "petros" were synonyms in the first century because the New Testament was written in Koine Greek. In Koine Greek the words "petra" and "petros" both means "rock." Koine Greek is a different dialect than Attic Greek. If...
