I'm glad you're here, Kepha. You give me many opportunities to set the record straight. And, I only have to use RCC writings.

There are no water coasts near Bethlehem. Bethlehem is inland. Coasts in this context (horion) could also be used as a boundary line or frontier or region. In other words, Herod slew all the children in Bethlehem and throughout his frontier or throughout the region. Axehead

And with some kinds of authority, you still have chaos. That is a statement that has a nice sound to it, but we can see from all the Catholic sites on the web and in the official writings of Catholicism itself that there is nothing BUT chaos within her walls. Catholic documents oppose other...

This priest says that Father Karl Rahner sabotaged the announcement of Mary as Mediatrix at Vatican II Catholic Website, Tradition in Action decries the sabotaging of Mary as Mediatrix. http://www.tradition...hnRatzMary.html Father Rahner's Girlfriend Revealed by Catholic Family News Father...

The Catholic Catechism records that Mary, the mother of Jesus, remained a virgin for her entire life. 510 Mary "remained a virgin in conceiving her Son, a virgin in giving birth to him, a virgin in carrying him, a virgin in nursing him at her breast, always a virgin" (St. Augustine, Serm. 186...

On the contrary, Stan. I think it is great that you are able to say that "Jesus deals with you". Thank you, Axehead

By your logic, Jesus had an authority problem with the Pharisees. But, the authority that mattered the most to Jesus was His Father's authority in heaven. That is the authority that should matter to everyone. Of course, the RCC propagates the idea that everyone who is at odds with Romanism has...

I have read volumes and volumes of Catholic literature, and Mormon, Mason, NewAge, etc., and it has not hurt me. I don't pray to saints or have an ounce of devotion to Mary. If you have the Holy Spirit and are reading for research reasons, then you know going in that it is not God's Word (truth)...

I think I missed it somewhere. Who is advocating "trying harder"? We are to come into His Rest and cease from our works, allowing Him to do His work in us and through us as we yield to His leading. Good post, Episkopos. We fulfill the righteousness of the law, through Christ. Rom 8:4 That...

I agree with that, NetChap.

Stan, you have avoided all of my questions. Will you answer just one? Since you have been saved, (I am assuming you were delivered from the power of sin), has the Holy Spirit been giving you more and more victories in your heart (inner man) as you walk with Him? Axehead

Jesus, never relinquished His authority therefore He never PASSED IT ON. Mar 10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. Mar 10:43...

Stan, by your reasoning if the righteousness of God which is imputed (as you do agree) does not make one righteous, then the imputation of sin should not make one a sinner. Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. However, we know that...

Scripture does not support Purgatory but History might....Catholic history, that is. The New Testament is completely silent regarding Purgatory, which has become a vital part of Roman Catholic doctrine. In addition, the Catholic Church admits that the New Testament church did not believe in it...

Thank you, Arnie. And thanks to Jerzy and Son of Man for their contributions, too. Here is something else that you may find informative. Regarding "Evolving Doctrines", here is a quotation that one cannot repeat too many times: "If only one instance could be given in which the Church ceased...

Amen, Angelina. Salvation only comes in the Body to those who have not yet left this life. The Bible is clear that "after death, the judgement." Salvation came through a Body to those that are alive, in a body. Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment...

Did Catholicism Borrow from Buddhism? According to the Buddhist calendar, Buddhism dates back to 542 BC, making it just over 2550 years old. "The monasticism and the religious services of Lamaism also present so striking a similarity with Catholic institutions that non-Catholic investigators...

When you look at the two greatest Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength...

Paul said, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry...

Galatians 3:10 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
