    The ultimate corruption of religion

    Don't you know that the Holy Bible does say to be obedient to the national goverments because it was God who established them. The only time we disobey the government is when they go against the moral laws of God. For example, when the government legalized abortion.....don't you know that the...

    Polygamy

    Justin, the truth is on our side. The evidence is in what God did since the beginning. He gave Adam only one wife. He never gave him multiple wives. And God does not change. Polygamy came from man's culture and ideas. Monogamy came from God. God had always wanted man to worship only ONE...

    Polygamy

    Our position is the truth, Justin. The strongest evidence we have is the fact that God gave Adam only one wife. That is the strongest evidence because it came from God. The evidence you show is that your biblical heros chose several wives for themselves. You think that because they chose...

    Polygamy

    There is nothing in those verses saying that polygamy is approved by God. It is only the author's own bias misinterpretation of scripture. For example, he cites Exodus 21:8 - Establishes rules for slaves who became wives. Note there is no mention of the man having to be single to marry a...

    The Ark of the Covenant is.......

    To determine whether the child is his, a father would submit to a paternity test, which they take from his blood. For example, if the mother's blood type is O, and the father's blood type is B, the child's blood type can either be blood type A or blood type O, but it cannot be blood type AB...

    Polygamy

    You mean they find co-habitating more convenient. The co-habitation is at least monogomous with one man and one female living together for more than 5 years. Therefore, monogamy is not declining at all. It is marriage that has decreased, but certainly not monogamy. The only unfortunate thing...

    Polygamy

    God's word does win, and that is why polygamy is in the minority. If it was God's plan in the beginning, it would win. In the past century, polygamy has greatly decreased. And in societies practicing polygamy, there is a gradual reduction in the number of wives permitted. In another 100...

    The Ark of the Covenant is.......

    In order for any human to be conceived, they would have both the DNA of both mother and father. The reason the features of both mother and father is there is because the child received the DNA of both mother and father. A human is not born from only a sperm, but from the union of the male...

    The Ark of the Covenant is.......

    If Mary's blood never mingled with Jesus, then why does the Bible call Jesus "the son of Mary" (Mark 6:3)? And where did Christ get His humanity? We know that Christ could not have gotten His humanity from God His Father because God the Father is not human. He is pure spirit.

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The edict of Milan ended the persecution of Christians. It never made the RCC the official religion of the Roman Empire. Why? Because according to the Edict of Milan......all people can worship whatever god they want including Christians. This is what the Edict of Milan stated, and I...

    responding to shooting.

    There is too much killings like these in America. This is not the first time this has happened. You have lone gunmen shooting up schools, theaters, and even churches. This is a sign that there is a sickness inside society that needs to be dealt with otherwise we would be seeing more of these...

    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    It was God who married Adam and Eve, and today, it is God who performs the wedding ceremony through the priest. As Christ said, "What God has joined, no man should separate." (Matthew 19:6 and Mark 10:9). Today, God uses people as His instruments to carry out His will.

    Polygamy

    There's nothing in the Bible showing that God condemn slavery as well. Does this mean that we should allow slavery? As for those great men that you mentioned, there were all sinners. Christians are followers of Christ. If they wanted to follow Solomon instead of Christ....they can call...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    Brother Rex, the truth is you don't even know history. You claimed, for example, that the Roman emperor made the RCC the official religion of the Roman Empire. That is only your hatred of the RCC speaking. All you had to do was read the Edict of Milan that was passed by the Roman emperor...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    For Catholics, denouncing the Church is denouncing Christ. Why? Because the Holy Bible says that the Head of the Church is Christ. The Church is the "Body of Christ." The Church is not a building. It is an assembly of people. For Catholics, the Head and Body of Christ are ONE and cannot be...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    I thought we were discussing the government of Germany? Suddenly, you decided to go back into 382 A.D.? Really....Brother Rex, keep to the topic. I noticed you didn't answer my question. If a Christian denounces his faith, would you still call him a Christian? I don't think so.

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The Government of the Germany has no state religion. Don't you know that in Germany, Protestant churches also charge a church tax? That is what it also says in the article. This church tax does not come from the Roman Catholic Church because I don't pay a church tax here, and I'm Roman...

    Why did you start believing?

    For me, it was the living testimonies of the martyrs and saints. For example, Mother Theresa took a vow of poverty and dedicated her life to serving the poor, knowing full well that even her efforts will not eliminate poverty. The miracle is not that she dedicated her life to serving the...

    What is the trinity?

    It was Christ who died, and Christ is God. Christ is 100% God and 100% man. Christ has a human nature and a divine nature; nevertheless, He is still God. Humans often try to make God logical so they can understand His nature, and they forget that God does not apply Himself to human logic. He...

    Polygamy

    The only thing you cited was biblical figures like King Solomon taking more than one wife, and you ignored the instruction in the New Testament stating that a man should have his own wife and a woman should have her own husband. You also ignored the fact that since the beginning God created...
