    I believe I came from a line of humanity that had it's genesis in the creation of man by God. Others here I presume, though they haven't voiced this directly, believe they come from a series of mutants and accidental malfunctions in genetics, the latest taking place 100s of thousands years ago...

    What is the one true Church?

    One could add that not only did Constantine make Christianity legal, but he and his antecedents, particularly Justinian, made every version of Christianity illegal that didn't submit to the Roman version of Christianity. Beginning with the Aryans. Later the Celts. The Albigenses. Waldenses...

    What is the one true Church?

    So I am no expert in language, Greek is Greek to me. But the above quote is quite bemusing to me being presented as it is to nullify the word over-seer. Overwatcher... Overseer... Watch... See... Am I the only one who can see the connection? Or am I the only one watching?

    What is the one true Church?

    That is inherently dangerous, trusting in miracles as a sign of a valid ministry. KJV Revelation 13:12-14 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he...

    What is the one true Church?

    I happen to disagree with him. Regardless of his Jesuit Georgetown theological honors. History happens to are with the prophecies of scripture concerning the Catholic Church. KJV Daniel 7:24-25 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise...

    Every time you post you reveal yourself more and more as Satan's mouthpiece, his puppet. No. Good laws enhance freedom. Tell me. How much freedom would you have if God rescinded the law of gravity? In some cases that is true. But what of an association that has as it's principle goal to help...

    What is the one true Church?

    The vain attempts to distance themselves from the Roman connection are merely an attempt to deny their true roots. The 4th beast of Daniel 7 is pagan Rome. The little horn that grew from that beast is papal Rome. The Papacy is and always was Roman, despite pretensions to the contrary.

    I would assume you are referring to this, quoting me...That God is a vengeful tyrant intent on destroying his enemies, and presenting His laws as somehow oppressive and restrictions on liberty. What you are missing is the nuance that you guys apply to God, the vengeful tyrant whose intent and...

    What is the one true Church?

    continuing.... The story of John Hus is very well known. In 1415 he was burned at the stake even though King Sigismund had guaranteed him safe conduct to defend himself at the Council of Constance (1414-1418). The remarkable fact is that Sigismund was encouraged to break his word by the Roman...

    What is the one true Church?

    It has been suggested that the persecutions by Catholics against others was perpetrated by a few crazy individuals, but was not church policy. Shall we take a look and see just a little of that history of what some here are defending as the "one true church"? Let us look for example at the...

    Concerning authority... KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. So, we have here an organized system, a...

    What is the one true Church?

    That word 'hate' , is not necessarily an unchristian trait. Most would think it means you cannot love, but this is not so. The opposite of love is selfishness. One can hate someone of that individual poses a threat to rigorousness and good purpose, remember God is love, yet He hatred Esau...

    What is the one true Church?

    Necessary to give context in this case, as it is clear that spiritual father is intended, as Christ would not condemn calling our early fathers, father. Also, BofL stipulated himself that the term father was always intended as a spiritual 'term of endearment'. And if I had not included the...

    What is the one true Church?

    Friend, love is telling the truth. Biblical truth itself reveals clearly who the Antichrist is. As Daniel said, at the time of the end knowledge shall be increased. The knowledge of prophecy and the understanding of the mystery of iniquity, the understanding of history, and the ability for...

    What is the one true Church?

    Call no man your 'spiritual' father, for you have but one Father, God. It is God who imparts to His children His Spirit, and His character. KJV Romans 8:29 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many...

    It is interesting that the hatred towards Christianity displayed in these posts is borrowed from and founded upon the distorted teachings of medieval Rome... That God is a vengeful tyrant intent on destroying his enemies, and presenting His laws as somehow oppressive and restrictions on liberty...

    Everything we do is a direct result of what we are. Changing what we do does not make us better people, because what we are is not a result of what we do. All we can do is modify some things, and hide others, but we stay essentially the same. Sinners. We are sinners by nature...we are not...

    You do realize that occupying oneself with a purpose, like work, is healthy right? A brand new being without a clue as to why he's here, is given purpose and a sense of accomplishment after a day's labor. Not hard labor like today, there were no thorns, no weeds, just fruit everywhere, and all...

    A God of love who desires to share everything that is good about life and relationships with His created brings did not want a forced subservience. Love is always a matter of choice. God was offering Adam and Eve a choice. It was actually a very easy one. One tree amongst thousands forbidden. It...

    Nope. Nor would I agree with those numbers. Nominal Christians maybe, but the genuine article wouldn't amount to more than 10-15%, maybe. Like Jesus said, by their fruit you shall know them. How many Christians do you know living up to their profession of faith? The Bible is true alright, but...
