I'm tired of bones. It would be nice for a change for the OP to put some meat (their own opinion) on 'dem bones. I didn't think there was any more 'responsibility' in modern Christendom. Everything is grace, grace, grace.

SIM, the Scriptures trump non-Biblical History not the other way around. There have been too many cases of revisionist history by religious organizations, chiefly yours. Why would I read that tract you listed? Ever heard of the "the fox in the hen house"? The RCC has a vested interest in...

Marriage is a picture of our relationship with Christ. Some marriages have no commitment, no faithfulness and no love carrying out marital duties like a robot. They really don't know each other and Christ will say the same thing to many. "Depart from Me, I never knew you". This "knowing" is an...

Again, I'm not anti-catholic and I still believe Jesus Christ is Head of His Church and is administrating it by the Holy Spirit which He promised He would send once He ascended to the Father. That's all. Bye for now.

Let me put it another way. I believe in the insecurity of the unbeliever.

Hi willie, I am sorry that you suspect an agenda and that you saw my post as a "tactic". My list of 50 is small in comparison to all that the Spirit of God communicates to us, I am sure you will agree. Absolutely, I have no problem with what you just said. Sure we will all have some "works"...

That is a very sweet story, afaithfulone4u. It sounds like you two have a great relationship built on love and mutual respect. The Bible actually says, "submitting yourselves one to another", and I have found that this is the proof of Holy Spirit fruit as we mutually submit to each other in...

Stephen, there are many unbelievers in the church, today. There is much "mixture" and the spirit of world (which sees divorce as ok) is in the church. With this mixture comes all kinds of spirits. Yes, feminism is another one. There is no security in unbelief. Going to a church building once a...

Amen dear sister. I love my wife and I pray for her as we are one in the Lord. More importantly she is a co-heir with Christ and we are brethren together in this great and wonderful race. I don't see her below me and she does not see me above her. She has a very sweet spirit and loves the Lord...

What was Peter doing in Rome for 25 years? Hiding? Keeping quiet? Josephus committing treason? I don't think he was a Catholic. Josephus was an historian. His loyalties were to the accuracy of his writings. Hey, what's a "pope hat"? Why didn't the church ever mention Peter in their writings to...

Well, Stephen, I agree with you. The Scriptures do say that a wife should submit to her husband. Are you married?

Love and Respect go together. It is difficult to respect someone that does not love you. Don't just put this on women. It is a two way street. I know many that bear their cross and respect their husband even though he does not lay down his life for them as Christ did for the church. Yes...

Think for a minute, SIM. Since, as you say Peter was annointed by Jesus to build His Church upon Peter (the man) instead of Peter's great confession that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God", then why didn't the Holy Spirit provide witnesses of Peter (the first "pope") in Rome...

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Man sinned in the body and his deliverance could only come in the body. Sin was condemned in the body and salvation was wrought through the body of Jesus...

Hi KCKID, Yes, I am sure we will have our disagreements, but just to be clear, any disagreement you may have with me and I have with you is simply what each one of us believe the Scriptures say and the nature of God demonstrates. This is a forum where ideas and beliefs and convictions are...

True, true. Peter's denial was a weakness of the flesh while Judas premeditated betrayal and followed through with it. His sorrow was human sorrow that only led to regret and not Godly sorrow that led to repentance. Contrast that with Peter. He did not premeditate his denial and Godly sorrow and...

Well, God's heart can manifest in comforting and encouraging words, that is for sure. But we are speaking about commands and directives versus suggestions from the King of Kings. There are numerous examples in the Bible and in your life and my life and everyone who is reading this that we don't...

Did Jesus have the authority to tell the Rich Young Ruler to sell all that he had and come and follow Him? Did the Rich Young Ruler choose to come under His authority or not? Can we choose to not come under His authority (come into agreement with His word to us)? Does the Holy Spirit give...

I don't believe in the security of the unbeliever. Selah.

Ok, we'll if SIM's comments can be confirmed, then you have your proof Aspen. By the way, SIM, I did not know that about Ratzinger/Benedict.
