    The Masonic Oath; An Evil Fellowship Or Not?

    So lying and compounding lies with more lies should be acceptable? Do I have "DOORMAT" stamped on my forehead? I am not looking for converts, I am here to address the lies and hate from "holy" anti-Catholics. Maybe I should stick to "blind guides" and "brood of vipers" instead. That's worse...

    The Masonic Oath; An Evil Fellowship Or Not?

    Let's drag your church through mud puddles of lies and we can see how nice you react. Ever heard of righteous indignation? Stand for nothing and fall for anything. Do you even have a church? truth7t7 is a hypocrit and a troll. He's going on my ignore list.

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    Louis Bouyer contends that the only way to safeguard the positive principles of the Reformation is through the Catholic Church. For only in the Catholic Church are the positive principles the Reformation affirmed found without the negative elements the Reformers mistakenly affixed to them. Yet...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    30. The lack of a definitive teaching authority in Protestant (as with the Catholic magisterium) makes many individual Protestants think that they have a direct line to God, notwithstanding all of Christian Tradition and the history of biblical exegesis (a "Bible, Holy Spirit and me" mentality)...

    The Masonic Oath; An Evil Fellowship Or Not?

    OK then, you are a liar. And an ignorant anti-Catholic bigot and a troll. And you haven't witnessed a single member initiation, but you think you know all about it. There are no oaths and no secrets and no hand shakes beyond the norm. You need to stop reading that anti-Catholic trash, it rots...

    The Masonic Oath; An Evil Fellowship Or Not?

    Are you an expert on the Knights of Columbus? There are no secret oaths and there are no questionable activities. Their main activity is charities and they give financial support to Protestant ones as well. The only "secret" is they ask members not to reveal some of the initiation exercises so...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    No, that is not what Scripture means. That is an editorialized definition and there are legitimate exorcists in both Catholic and Protestant communities. "Sorry, but no true Bible-teaching church does exorcisms or has exorcists." is false. Does it have to be? Where is "Trinity" in the Bible...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    Catholic priests abuse at a rate far lower than that of other males in the general population. "If anyone believes that priests offend at a higher rate than teachers or non-celibate clergy, then they should produce the evidence on which they are basing that conclusion. I know of none. Saying...

    SPOTLIGHT ON EVANGELICAL SEX SCANDALS “I am a survivor of 10 years of sexual abuse at the hands of my preacher father. I have now become an advocate for victims of abuse. For years I have been saying that when the full scope of the abuse within the evangelical church comes to light, the...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    The Book of Tobit, written around the 2nd century BC, contains a lot of folklore. You paint a rather nasty portrait of a book you seem to take literally. The Rite of Exorcism, like all biblical rites and doctrines, underwent development. They are no more absurd as Genesis read in the same light...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement What disaster? The one invented by the media that has not a shred of evidence? What a stupid thread title.

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    IF ONLY PRIESTS WERE TEACHERS If priests were teachers, they would be afforded special protections under state law, insulated from changes in the statute of limitations, never be fired (which means they would be kept in ministry indefinitely), treated with kid gloves by the media, and generally...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    We know from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice investigation into this matter that almost all of the cases of the sexual abuse of minors that took place in Catholic institutions occurred between 1965 and 1985. By contrast, in the last five years, the average number of credible accusations...

    Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement

    I see phony man can't let go of a 50-60 year old sex abuse crisis, even though the crisis has ended. When the Boston Globe sent the nation reeling in 2002 with revelations of priestly sexual abuse, and the attendant cover-up, Catholics were outraged by the level of betrayal. This certainly...

    10 FACTS about the Council of Jerusalem

    How could Paul not need the council's blessing when he was part of the council? Who said any of the apostles went to the council to get a blessing? Is that a verse somewhere? Paul was not disconnected from the institutional church. His gospel was the same as the other apostles. It's another...

    10 FACTS about the Council of Jerusalem

    Don't be so sure. "the kingdom and righteous of God" according to amadeus? Do you teach infallibly? BofL isn't opposing Jesus like a Pharisee. That's insulting and a big mistake. It has everything to do with doctrine, properly defined. Doctrines flow from revealed truth, they are not man...
