archaeologist5, I know that my Church teaches the Truth. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors and our enemies AS He loved us. God loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). As you can see, I also love everyone including you whom I call "my brother." God loved everyone...

I agree. The Book of Enoch is not inspired and was never canonized. Like you, I also think that the book contains some elements of truth, which is most likely why Jude quoted it. Despite that it is not an inspired book, I think it is still an interesting book that one can learn from.

I agree that Enoch is quoted in the New Testament letter of Jude. The Book of Enoch is much older. Enoch is even mentioned in Genesis 5:21-24. The Book of Enoch is also mentioned in the Jewish Talmund; therefore, the Jewish people were aware of this book, but it was never cannonized as...

A true Christian views everyone as their brothers and sisters because all humans were created in the image of God, and God loves everyone including those who don't know Him. Even St. Paul called the pagans in Athens "his brothers." (See Acts 17:22-28) My brother, all you see are written...

My brother, you also put words in my mouth. I said that I already answered those questions under the "The Church at Rome" thread" ......and you interpreted it to mean that I can't answer your questions. That is putting words in my mouth. And why in the world is this thread only for you...

I don't think God allowed the government to pass the death penalty. I believe in God's justice, but God's justice is perfect. Man's justice is always imperfect, which is the reason why in the judicial system, sometimes an innocent person will be sentence to jail and the guilty would be set free.

That is not what I said. I said that those questions were already answered in the "The Church at Rome," thread. Since your username is archaeologist, I assume that you can look up the thread. Afterall, archaeologists are historians who enjoy digging into the past. :) If you're going to...

The Coptic Church of Alexandria traced their lineage to St. Mark the Evangelist. They consider him an Apostle. He is the same St. Mark spoken of in Acts 12:25 and Acts 15:37. The Pope of the Coptic Church of Alexandria is Pope Shenouda III. Below is a weblink from the Coptic Orthodox Church...

I agree. I also find it strange that he does not say anything about the Orthodox and Coptic Christians. He probably does not even know that the Coptic Church of Alexandria have a Pope. He probably thinks that ONLY the Catholic Church has a Pope.

My answer to the three questions above is "no."

I also need to do this. I keep putting things off until tomorrow. The problem is "tomorrow" never comes. :D

Hi Aspen, I already answered all those questions under the "Church of Rome" thread. He can always look it up himself. :D In Christ, Selene

And so where is this Roman Church that started in the first century then? The Catholic Church did not start in the 5th or 6th century? St. Clemens was the third Bishop of Rome and he was ordained as a priest by the Apostle Peter. . If a person wants to know what the creationist think...

Hello archaeologist5, First of all, the Church in Rome is the Roman Catholic Church. Do you know of any other church in Rome that is much older than the Catholic Church there claiming to be that Roman Church? No, of course not. Secondly, the Roman Catholic Church does say that we are...

Hello archaeologist5, The word "Roman" only means that it is located in Rome. The Roman Church is the Church in Rome. The Corinthian Church was the Church in Corinth, and so on. However, this does not mean that the Roman Catholic Church is limited only to Rome. The Catholic Church is...

Hello archaelogist5, The word "Catholic" regardless of whether it is a small letter "c" or a capital letter "c" means "universal". That is what "catholic" means. We are not an institution. We are an assembly of people. We are a Church (assembly). The Nicene Creed was written in the...

Hello Nomad, If you had read that filioque controversy.weblink that you provided, it says that the Catholic Church had accepted the Eastern Orthodox version. The Council of Lyons and Florence did not require the Orthodox Christians to insert the filioque. Instead, what we asked our Orthodox...

For a Catholic, the name means "universal." In fact, we even say that the Catholic Church is the universal Church. The Orthodox Christians also say the same thing. They also call their Church the universal Church. There are four marks to the Universal Church and "universal" is only one of...

Hello Nomad, If you had read my post, I did mention that the Orthodox Church uses the orginal version of the Nicene Creed. It was the Catholics who added on "And the Son" to the Nicene Creed later on. In Christ, Selene

The word "Catholic" whether with a small "c" or a capital "C" both mean "universal. The Orthodox Church, the Anglicans and some of our Protestant brothers uses the word "catholic." Others who have a problem with it changed it to the word "christian." Hello Thankful, No, the Apostle's...
