1 Peter 3:15 encapsulates apologetics as an art and a science. Apologetics is a branch of evangelism that explains and defends. Scott Hahn, James Akin and Dave Armstrong (and many others) live up to the standards in 1 Peter 3:15

Rapture Crapture turned out to be a cash crop. Hal Lindsey's "The Late Great Planet Earth" sold 40 million copies and that was 30-50 years ago. Then there is the $$$ made on other books, movies and even greeting cards. Fear sells. Yes, I read the book when I was young; I didn't know any better.

In the Old Testament, God told Moses that a lamp filled with the pure oil should perpetually burn in the Tabernacle (Ex 27:20-21). Perpetually means until the end of time, it does not mean "throw out later". Why was the Bread of the Presence placed on a gold table?

By being obedient.

IT WORKED! This attractive female hit on me while I was in the Dominican Republic. But there was something fishy about her. . . . . . . . .

I can't post any photos or graphics. There must be something wrong with my settings. Or I have angered the computer gods.:mad:

As a certified reflexologist, I've seen some amazing results on diabetic neuropathy. The problem is it takes one session a week for 2-3 months, as neuropathy is very stubborn. The other problem is it's expensive. The average fee is $50-70 per hour. You could negotiate a volume discount by paying...

1 Peter 3:15 but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; 16 and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good...

In addition, a third order flows from a particular order's charism, such as The Franciscan, Benedictine, Dominican etc. They are meant for people who want a deeper walk but have jobs and families and entering a monastery isn't practical. The Third Order of St. Francis sends its rejects to the...

You went to Church for 40 years and never heard of the liturgical calendar? https://www.scripturecatholic.com/the-eucharist/#f_The_Book_of_Revelation_and_the_Holy_Mass I would be too. You have a good memory of being shocked, but no memory of all the facts. I would clarify with the priest...

"Ignore" is not the same as shunning. A Catholic community that practices shunning is not Catholic. A priest who officiates a same-sex "wedding" gets excommunicated, not shunned. Paul and Barnabas didn't get along very well either. The Benedictans, Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits were...

That's just being deceived. St. Augustine was one of the most brilliant theologian of his day and an early Church Father. Even some Protestants like him. Do they want to be deceived?

You can't quit what is indelible. The truth is, I got fired. ;)

Is it remotely possible you deserved it? 1% of the time? How about .o5%? 0.001%??

That explains everything. I am a third order Franciscan. I haven't said my office in years, but I like to say that so people will think I'm holy.

Join a third order, they even accept liberals.

Provide the name of the priest, and his diocese so I can report him to his bishop. If you can't or won't, then stop this slanderous bigotry. Every priest reads the entire Bible, out loud, as part of the liturgy in a 1 year cycle and 3 year cycle, which means this alleged priest read the entire...

do you feel scripture endorses misrepresentations, lies, slander and blind prejudice yes or no? Does this mean you are no longer a prejudiced anti-Catholic? I can't imagine who these pitiful whinners could be, could you be specific? I feel the same way. The SDA bombardments don't belong...

What would you do if someone called your mother a whore in front of you, her, and in public? I'd break his nose if it were my mother, and be justified in doing so. Jesus is not a wimpy flower child from the 60's chanting mantras of peace and love. Look what He did to the Amalekites in 2000 BC...

St. Augustine said he met a lot people who were deceived, but never met anyone who wanted to be deceived.
