We don't NEED visual aids, they just help elevate the mind to the supernatural, to worship God, not to the object. Please read post #29. We honor saints in heaven because they have attained the likeness (eikon / image) of God (2 Cor 3:18); “spirits of the righteous made perfect” (Heb 12:23)...

We honor saints in heaven because they have attained the likeness (eikon / image) of God (2 Cor 3:18); “spirits of the righteous made perfect” (Heb 12:23). This is why we venerate them, because they reflect God’s glory and are His vessels. The painter is praised when his masterpiece is praised...

"Angel" and "Angel of the Lord" are used interchangeably. Sometimes we miss things in the Bible, though they are right in front of us. Some of our Protestant brethren (mainly Calvinists but some other denominations as well) have an almost obsessive fear of any image associated with worship at...

You haven't said anything about the rock that followed them in the OT, because it's not there. Post the chapter and verse, the verses will come up automatically. Save your fingers, you don't need to text in half the Bible.

You miss the point of the question. If you are anti-church, anti-institutional, anti-authority, then you need to be challenged. Hebrews 13:17 I don't want to argue either but it looks to me you haven't thought things through.

The Vatican didn't exist as a city/state before 1928. Where was mystery babylon before that? Geneva?

Yes, but not in written form. It's a Jewish tradition. How much is literal is a matter of debate.

Those claiming the Vatican is Mystery Babylon are mentally ill and should seek counselling. Or they are grossly uneducated and easily deceived by slick sounding propaganda.

In the election post-mortem and hand-wringing among pollsters, pundits, and prognosticators, many factors will be identified as contributing to Donald Trump’s decisive victory, including race, class, and gender. But one other factor that deserves more attention is religion. In spite of reports...

Hebrews 13:17 says, "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you." When was the expiry date for this verse?

Yea...lets set up some stake fires and burn them to hell. isn't that what we do?:rolleyes:

Scripture clearly says individual Bible readers can't teach themselves. John was addressing the whole Church that he already taught. That's what he means by "no man". It's not a license to teach whatever anybody wants. You are reading into a verse what isn't there. The Apostles wrote the NT...

Ezek. 36:25-27 – the Lord promises He will sprinkle us with water to cleanse us from sin and give us a new heart and spirit. Paul refers to this verse in Heb. 10:22. The teaching of Ezekiel foreshadows the salvific nature of Christian baptism instituted by Jesus and taught in John 3:5, Titus...

Thanks.

POPE SLAMS THREE TYPES OF PERSECUTION Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the November 22 homily given by Pope Francis: Pope Francis has been consistent in his condemnation of what he calls “ideological colonization,” or the attempt by developed nations to impose a radical...

The 7 churches that John wrote about are all in Asia Minor. He founded them himself and were in his 'diocese' so to speak. They represent all churches of all time. I don't think obsessing on Rev. is healthy. It's not a do-it-yourself book for unlocking the future. People who squeeze the...

Because Trump apparently held the Catholic vote, you have an excuse to bash Catholics. Some claim that Hilary really won the election, why don't you blame her alleged loss on the Jesuits? You can initiate a whole new conspiracy theory. I am Canadian, American politics is a game show IMO.

There are 2 kinds of liars. 1) Those who are socialized into believing their lies are true, 2) and those who are too proud to have their lies corrected. If you were faced with a steady steam of people lying about your faith, how would you respond?
