    The ultimate corruption of religion

    Anyone reading the posts already know that those who resort to making personal attacks do so because they no longer could stick to the topic of discussion simply because they cannot refute what I posted. Brother Rex, we all know that you did NOT reference anything nor even quote anything from...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    If you had taken Reading 101, you would have learned that reading the entire article explains everything. It helps to get in the practice of reading the entire story. Afterall, when a person reads only one sentence from the Bible, they would be taking it out of context.....just as you are...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The Italian government has nothing to do with the Roman Catholic Church. Don't you know that Vatican City is a soverign state separate from Italy?? The Pope is the Head of State of Vatican City.....not Italy! That is a FACT that somehow you failed to recognize. We were never even part of...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    My Church does not charge a tax, Brother Rex. The Church tax is only found in certain countries in Europe like Germany. This Church tax is in the law books of Germany's government. It did not come from any law books of the Roman Catholic Church. And as I said, I picked that verse to show...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The article is referring only to those who denounced their Catholic faith. According to the article and to what the Vatican approved in its decree, it stated: I also highly recommend that you read the article before you post. Nowhere in the article does it mention someone who was unable to...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The temple itself does not represent the Scribes and Pharisees. It represent Judaism and Christ was a Jew. By using this verse, I was identifying what a true Christian should do. Christ did not give up His faith and went ahead and paid the temple tax. The article YOU posted was for those...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    Really Gypsy, let's act like mature adults and read carefully the articles YOU post. I'm going by what the article says. Didn't you read the article YOU posted? This is the weblink you posted in your own post...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    What racket are you referring to? In the first place, they denounced their Catholic faith in order to avoid paying the tax. By denouncing their faith, they are no longer Catholic. Non-Catholics cannot receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The purpose of the Church tax is to pay for...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    If they denounce their Catholic faith, they are no longer Catholic. And if the sacraments are that important to them, they will pay the tax. To a Catholic, money should never be more important than the sacraments because a Catholic knowledgeable in the Catechism understands that Christ is...

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    You said that they were forced to pay the Church tax. They're not forced. It's still up to them to decide if they want to pay the Church tax or not. They just don't receive the sacraments if they chose not to pay it. I have no idea what the laws regarding taxes in Germany and had to look...

    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    Adam and Eve were married. Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

    The ultimate corruption of religion

    The article is not saying that the Roman Catholic Church in Germany is forcing "leaving" Catholics to pay a tax. It says that Catholics who don't pay the Church tax cannot receive the sacraments nor receive religious burials. The sacraments can be withheld and a Mass does not need to be said...

    I need more info on Melchisedec and Jesus christ

    In contrast to the Levitical Priesthood is the Priesthood of our Lord, which Melchizedek foreshadows. First, Melchizedek has no genealogy in the Old Testament, and his priesthood is not based on heredity. Christ, like Melchizedek, is a priest by divine appointment and His priesthood does not...

    Polygamy

    Polygamy is un-Christian and it is of this world. I've already shown you scriptures in the Holy Bible showing that in order to be a leader of the Church, one must be married to only one wife. Scripture also shows that a wife must have her own husband. A woman cannot claim a man as her own if...

    Polygamy

    I gave valid reasons why polygamy is unChristian. And no I am not a feminist.

    Polygamy

    I am not a former Muslim. I am a Christian, and Christianity has nothing to do with polygamy. Polygamy is of this world. Men have many wives so as to build up status.....and that is why Christianity is against polygamy. In polygamy, women are stripped of their dignity as human beings and...

    Polygamy

    The Muslims also believe that in Allah's kingdom, they could have sex with 72 virgins that they call "Horus" and these Horus are NOT human. In other words, they can have sex with something that is not human. In the eyes of the Christian God, that is an abomination. I'm a Christian, not a Muslim.

    GAYS CONDEMN SALVATION ARMY

    You and I are in agreement. The gay activists have an agenda. Their agenda is to force people to accept their lifestyle as normal. And they don't seem to care who suffers for it so long as they meet their goal.

    Polygamy

    Allowing a marriage between a man and many women is only legitimizing promiscuity, which is a sin. In the same way, same sex marriage is only trying to legitimize homosexuality, which is also a sin.
