My official exit from catholicism came after meeting Jesus during a night of confession and surrender, and twice returning to my roots, attending mass, meeting the officiating priest, but finding no life within or encouragement to return. I never knew or met a bad Catholic. I never had any...

So I read your little treatise, and there was nothing there that surprised or shocked. I was fully aware of the equally egregious incidents of Protestant persecutions... Not only against Catholics, but fellow Protestants. However, you are comparing apples with rusty ovens. First, you need to...

You need to read that in context. Paul, as all the other apostles and many church fathers, could not see a future of 2000 years until Christ returns. KJV 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church...

And Ellen White, whom they love to vilify, said the same 150 years ago.

Of anyone wants to know what to look for in the "one true church", one could do worse than looking for the criteria in scripture for the final remnant church before the second coming. A. It must be a global church, as they peach the everlasting gospel to every kindred, nation, tongue, and...

That's all you've got? Abuse? I commended you for your Catholic faithfulness, and your zeal in defending what you believe to be right... You are a good Catholic. But if I am wrong concerning the historical admixture of pagan symbolism and practise within catholicism, then refute it by explaining...

Seems I'm touching a nerve, the response from you uncharacteristically venomous, a response I would normally expect from BoL and MOG. . Philip restrains himself admirably, but now and again you do reveal your true colors. Baptized paganism is a thing. It has been around for nearly 2 millennia...

@BreadOfLife we are sanctified by God's word and the work of the holy Spirit in our lives. Set apart for holy use is not unique to single people. Married people, even the unbelieving partner, are sanctified by the other... How much more if both are believers. @Illuminator said...its reliance on...

No. Not all of those church leaders demand their followers obey him and not scripture. So they are not popes.

You need to read that in context. Paul, as all the other apostles and many church fathers, could not see a future of 2000 years until Christ returns. They all thought the second coming was imminent. In that context what Paul was saying makes sense... If you can remain single with sin and without...

Guys, don't expect @BreadOfLife to argue against the Abrahamic venture in the middle east, BoL is a very good Catholic, dedicated, focused, single eyed and zealous for his faith. And what is taking place there is not outside of Catholic teaching and practise. So BoL will not criticize or...

To this question, which was no doubt rhetorical because you answered it here .. And I agree with what you are intimating, that we don't look to gross error in order to discover truth, and you conclude with... Is God gathering together a people to represent Him in these last days, and deliver...

@Illuminator JP2s call for ecumenical unity and the referencing to divisions as being deplorable, is a false and deceptive invitation. The division between the system of Catholic religion and biblical truth cannot be bridged. Every step one takes toward Rome is a giant leap toward apostasy...

Mmm. @Marymog has this fetish for referring to "your men", etc, all the while she and her fellow Catholics blindly follow the magisterium, the encyclicals of corrupt Pipes, and so called "infallible" declarations commanding precepts and doctrines not found in scripture, and not checked by anyone...

Well that would be all well and good, of we could trust your church not to repeat her past atrocities. And yes, Protestantism a for a time were also corrupted by ill thought policies and practices. At the moment, protestantism and Catholicism are in subjection to more lenient, and liberal...

Hence the church developed asceticism and self abuse.

Sorry, but are you inferring that we ought not listen to any teacher or pastor? I agree that all must allow God to develop a relationship with us through Jesus, but Jesus appoints teachers and pastors and prophets for the education and maturing of the church. If they teach according to...

I understand. There are numerous nuances and permutations. History repeated many times as lessons either not learnt, or deliberately repeated, but coming out of apostasy was a long slow painstaking laborious process. It is a very difficult and complicated subject... What I wrote above is the...

You have conveniently ignored the crux of what I was saying. First, I didn't say Daniel was mentioning Sunday laws, so your argument fails. However... Any new leader in any political power be it a democracy or otherwise, will change the laws of that nation to suit the character and intentions of...

Prophecy foretold that there was to be a power that would inherit the character of those pagan empires listed in Daniel: Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece, and Rome. A characteristic that Protestantism took a long time to shed, and has yet not done so completely... The panchant for appealing to the...
