I don't have any problem with respecting Mary as the blessed woman to have given birth to Our Lord Jesus. What I have a problem with is the insistence that she is the "co-redemptrix" or any of that nonsense. It is blasphemy to worship anyone but God the Father, Son and I'm undecided as to...

The Elizabethans were not known for a great amount of delicacy. The NLT says, "the odor will be terrible". Not sure which is better. (John 11:39) The NASB has the more pleasant wording.

If I was reading something apart from the Bible which was written in that time period (KJV-Shakespearean times) and the word cropped up, I would think of the lead battle horse in a war.

I think it is important to clarify the divide between the official Roman Catholic Church, represented by the Vatican and ordinary Roman Catholics. I am opposed to hierarchies in ANY church, based on Jesus' statement in Matthew 23:8, telling us that, "...all of you are equal as brothers and...

Saul and the witch of Endor were undoubtedly speaking to a demon who looked like Samuel. Witches have demons as their constant companions.

These things God hates--->"There are six things the LORD hates— no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among...

You told me you weren't RC and I believed you--I speculated that you might be evangelical Anglican/Episcopalian or conservative Lutheran. Am I right?

I think we are agreed on most things--any disagreement on doctrine is likely to be semantic in nature. The Bible brings unity to God's people. :) I still don't think we have to do anything to preserve our eternal life--that once it is granted, it is ours. You seem to agree since you say that...

There is a group of American Catholics which is trying to get him ousted. I forget what they call themselves--I'll see if I can find a link for you. They are calling him a heretic outright and their website recounts all of the ways that he is perverting Catholic doctrine. Many of the...

The RCC hierarchy are wannabe Jews. Jesus set us free from the "traditions of men" and their puffed-up Sanhedrins. Then the RCC comes along and puts it right back with the Vatican in the driver's seat. Origen was wrong. Sin is not the source of divisions, schisms, etc. A lack of truth from...

* I edited it to add the last bit of my post.

Hey, SG. Have you ever seen the relatively new Pope Paul VI Audience Hall? Check this out: The Dark Secrets Behind The Pope’s Audience Hall (It’s a Giant Reptilian) They have a statue of supposedly Christ up behind the papal throne and it looks like it has a snake's head from both sides. You...

He was saying it in reply to those who were accusing Him of violating the Sabbath. He was telling them that, as the Lord of the Sabbath, the One who created all things, including Sabbath observance, that He would determine how it was to be instituted. He also said that the Sabbath was made for...

That is false. Jesus said, as recorded in John 17:17: "Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth." Jesus also affirmed the authority of the Old Testament in John 10:35. He said, "...the Scriptures cannot be broken." The gospels and the Epistles were accepted as...

Agreed. A great many of the early churches actually met every day of the week. The Sabbath always was and always will be Saturday, but it is the only one of the Ten Commandments which Jesus did not specifically affirm. While having a day of rest and reflection on the mighty works of God is...

The Romans called it the Latin, calvaria (Calvary) for the top part (or dome) of the skull. I had always read that it was because the hill looked like the top part of a skull--but that actually seems a bit dubious because don't all bare hills look like the dome of a skull? Maybe they were...

I had never heard or read that--interesting though, if true.

I thought he might be a new Christian and might not know. But, in case anyone didn't know, I was glad to supply what information I had. :)

Yes, I knew that but I was trying to keep my reply as brief as possible. The Valley of Hinom isn't really that relevant to us--more to the people of Jerusalem as they would have known about it.

Yep.
