WHO did Constantine command to “assemble” at the Council of Nicaea? There was already a Pope at that time with bishops and priests under him. Wasn’t there?

Thank you for your response. In Ignatius’s Letter to the Smyrnaeans, he writes: Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. That shows that there was a established “Catholic Church” with...

Yup, that is true and what I said Hey Grailhunter, Did you know that the first usage of the word “Catholic” to describe the Christians that were members of The Church is in a letter from Ignatius of Antioch and was written around the year 107AD??? The Roman authorities were killing...

Yup, that is true. WE AGREE.....

Thank you for agreeing with me Jim B and taking up my side against @amigo de christo when I said "It was not the Catholic Church that took up arms"!!! You pretty much REPEATED WHAT I SAID......:vgood: THE FACT IS: The Church DIDN'T HAVE ANY ARMIES therefore they could not take up arms.......;)

You crack me up.....You are ignorant of your own Christian history and Scripture. It was not the Catholic Church that took up arms. It was knights, counts and commoners! Sooo you got that wrong..... You would have been imprisoned by 'simply preaching the true gospel to them'. Then the true...

Translation: I can't defend what I believe when asked tough questions about what I believe.

The subject is you only adhere to or read one historical Christian document. The NT! So I presented a question to you from that historical document. Sooooo how is that changing the subject? If you have read that historical document, then you have read those questions. Have EVER tried to answer...

Oh, I see. Now that I destroyed your false teachings/beliefs on the Crusade and showed how bankrupt you are on the subject....you want to change the subject? You crack me up Jim.

Hey Jim, It is not ok to murder someone jim. Murdering and self-defense are two different things Jim. You need a better teacher. Here is what your Protestant men teach and apparently haven't taught you yet...

Lol...Right! Ignatious made up that word in that letter and it was NEVER used before that to describe The Church. OK....I will go with that logic. So, a student of an Apostle called MY church The Catholic Church around 110 AD. Who named YOUR denomination and when? Curious Mary

OK.....so I have two questions for you. Both from the NT: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? What is your answer? Curious Mary

Hey Pearl, The Catholic Church does recognize some people as "saints" but here is what The Church teaches: Saints are persons in heaven (officially canonized or not), who lived heroically virtuous lives, offered their life for others, or were martyred for the faith, and who are worthy of...

Hey Jim, Christian History Lesson Time: The earliest Christian historical document we have in which “Catholic” is used to label The Church is in a letter from Ignatius of Antioch (a student of the Apostle John), who wrote around A.D. 107-110. Logically he was not the first to use the word...

Got it Jim. It seems you are a pacifist. If you were alive during any of the Crusades (they lasted from the 11th thru 13th century) would you have allowed the Muslims to take over all Christian holy sites, your churches, torture/kill your neighbors/family, forced conversions etc and allowed...

Hi Jim, Well, at least you are more reasonable and less venomous than most people on here in your answer, and I appreciate that. Just a slight correction to your answer though: The Church didn't wage wars by calling for the Crusades. The Church fought back against the attacks from the Muslims...

Hey Jim B, How do "all believers" fulfill 1 Timothy 3:15 and Matthew 18:17? Curious Mary

Lol....I never said Peter wasn't a flawed man. Also, listing 4 different web links is more than a "nice try"to prove that you are wrong. It IS proof that you are wrong!!! No biblical scholar agrees with you. ONCE AGAIN, you dodged the question: What is the significance of Jesus giving Peter...

Neither the clothes Jesus was wearing or the Jewish leaders were wearing had anything to do with Jesus pointing out their hypocrisy.

hey jim b, You do know WHY the Crusades happened? Don't you?
