James was bishop of Jerusalem with all the authority of an Apostle. It was the host church for the council. But James was not bishop of all the Apostles. Peter was, taking into account the whole NT. Luke says Peter made the initial decision, you have to take off those biased goggles. James was...

I don't have documentation, at least not right away. But I accept its authenticity based on its location. Babylonians and Hindus did not hide from the Romans in the catacombs, do you have documentation they did? No, wait... The earliest surviving Christian art is preserved on the walls of...

That same definition fits the thread title "Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement". Trolling is a forum disease.

In other words, you can't be taught the proper meaning of an English word. Do I have to tiptoe around your prejudices?

So you are an expert on Paleo-Christian art? You take the surrounding art into consideration? Just saying.

She said she is not gung ho on organized religion. My reply was a question, not an accusation, and there is nothing wrong with my reply. Good for them. Back in the 60's TV preachers would use the word "religion" as if it were a dirty word. They did that to draw Christians out of their...

000000 The Church does not create problems, problems are created by those who fail to live by the Church's teachings. That includes, at times, church leaders. Regardless, truth is absolute, it is not based on relativity. God founded a Church with clear instructions: To teach about Jesus and...

This is in reaction to the absurd thread "Spotlight On The Disasterous RCC "Celibacy" Requirement". That thread is nothing more than a direct attack on the historic Church. The only evidence for "disatrous" is not evidence at all. Cheap shots is not evidence. Richard Sipe EXPOSED : Ex-priest has...

So you prefer disorganized religion?

“THE RITE” EARNS RESPECT Unfailingly, whenever there is a TV show or movie that touches on subjects like Transubstantiation—the transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus—the Virgin birth, apparitions, the stigmata, even confession, it is the subject of ridicule and...

Art is an expression, I never claimed "absolute truth" which can only be revealed by God. You have an inferiority complex because none of the Christian artists of the first 3 centuries were Protestants. In fact, art of any kind was strictly forbidden after John Calvin, and remains so to this...

It's not an article but a network of converts to Catholicism helping clergy and laity of other Christian traditions discover the truth and beauty of the Catholic Church. It is not a threat to anyone's faith. The Coming Home Network - Discover Catholicism, Come Home

H. Richard:

Why don't you click on "reply" instead of making things up. If you can't be bothered reading post #32, and accuse me of things I never said, then I can't be bothered arguing with an idiot.

You make a non sequitur fallacy. Either Annias layed his hands on Paul, and told him to get baptized or he didn't. That means Annias told Paul what to do. It's not rocket science and its not systematic theology. You are re-writing scripture to force fit it into your opinions. You have a...

What "adding works" are you talking about? The Church condemned "works salvation, or works righteousness" 1000 years before the first Protestant was born. It's a heresy called Pelagianism. Get it? A heresy. But the myth won't go away. James was killed. Acts 12:2 The Bible is the infallible...

The Bible is a Catholic book, and no matter how much Protestants study it and proclaim it as peculiarly their own, they must acknowledge their undeniable debt to the Catholic Church for having decided the Canon, and for preserving the Bible intact for 1400 years. How could the Catholic Church be...

You could give more points if you stopped denying half of Acts 15. Your understanding of church hierarchy is totally muddled. It's not a corporation, but follows the Davidic Kingdom. Paul is subject to the Church, that does not mean he is of low rank, the church doesn't operate like General...

Acts 15:2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem about this question. Who was in authority to appoint Paul and Barnabas? Nobody according to you. This denial is a...
