    What have you learned on this board in 2017?

    I've learned that media worshippers; those who deify headlines from cheap tabloids as absolute truth, especially when it comes to the Pope, are a waste of time.

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    I posted about differences and what the media was saying, you make a big noise about similarities. Perhaps you favor a full size monument honoring Mao Zedong. But I don't think you get it, you are too far to the left.

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    I would like to clarify. The whole community can ask God for healing(s). This is a good and pious practice. But if some don't receive healing; it doesn't mean they lack faith. There is no way to know, just by looking, if they have accepted the cross given to them by God, or not. No one can...

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    No, it is called putting faith in faith. It has nothing to do with unbelief. Those who don't get their badge of healing end up sitting in the back pew, and eventually out the door. They become second class Christians. This is wrong. "Faith in your faith" crowd does more harm than good.

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    I said no such thing. You are twisting my words to the point of lying. By changing the meaning of "Tradition" you invent a straw man fallacy. The Bible tells us of good Tradition we are to follow and bad tradition we are to avoid. Can you tell the difference? Then you should have no problem...

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    Where in scripture does it clearly and explicitly state that all practices, devotions, and doctrines must be found explicitly in scripture to be trustworthy? NOWHERE! It's a man made tradition; bible-alone theology is not found anywhere in the Bible. And you have made reference to your MAN MADE...

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    Those making the claim that lack of faith prevents or slows miraculous healing are liars and hypocrites, or spiritually under-developed, or they run from the very cross they are supposed to pick up. I rejoice in any authentic miracle, but God never intended each believer to have miracles or we...

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    CELEBRATING THEIR FIRST WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS: OBAMA AND TRUMP There could not be a greater difference between President Barack Obama’s first White House Christmas and President Donald Trump’s. Obama did not believe in exchanging Christmas gifts with his family; Trump does so lavishly. The...

    Have you ever been challenged to, say, call for a healing?

    We all need faith in God. What we don't need is faith in faith.

    "Raise the dead"

    A strict hyper-literalist approach to scripture will lead into all kinds of interpretative problems.

    Holy Family Hospital: An “oasis of peace” near the birthplace of Jesus Christ

    Nearly two millennia ago, the Holy Family struggled to find accommodations in Bethlehem for the birth of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Today there is a foundation, a work of the Order of Malta, which works to provide funding for Holy Family Hospital a mere 1,500 steps from the site of the birth of the...

    "Raise the dead"

    Because Herod would try to kill Him. It was not God's plan to put Jesus in danger AT THAT TIME AND PLACE.

    Pope wants to change the Lord's Prayer

    Just to be clear, the Pope does not have the authority to change Scripture. The headline of the link in the OP is sensationalist nonsense, it has nothing to do with the content. The current wording that says "lead us not into temptation" is not a good translation because God does not lead...

    OFFENSIVE CHRISTMAS FARE EXPLODES

    “CRUCIFIED SANTA” ARTIST EXPLOITS CHRISTMAS Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on a portrait of Santa crucified that was shown on Christmas Eve: I recently had an exchange with Robert Cenedella, the artist who created “The Presence of Man”; it depicts Santa crucified. After...

    "The Carpenter's Son"

    Typology is simply a tool for biblical exegesis, the study of foreshadow. What is hidden in the OT is revealed in the NT. To keep things simple, typology is the study of foreshadow. There is lots of foreshadowing going on in the OT. Foreshadowing cannot occur from the the NT to the OT because...

    "The Carpenter's Son"

    Biblical typology is when a person or an event in the Old Testament foreshadows a person or an event in the New Testament. The bible is full of these kind of things. It is a primary tool of biblical exegesis to study these, because they all point toward the fact that Jesus Christ is indeed the...

    Understanding Christ's Natures

    vaticancatholic.com, the source of your post, does not present Catholic teaching in a fair manner. In fact, Most Holy Family Rosary, the organization you seem obsessed with, IS NOT CATHOLIC, but a band of sede vacantists, or "empty chair" fanatics, a wacko cult that recognizes no Pope after Pius...

    Immaculate Conception.....in the Bible

    Scripture does not support the Nestorian heresy that was settled at the Council of Ephesus in 451 AD whose authoritive verdicts are accepted by Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox., and Romans 8:20 has nothing to do with the New Eve. You are bible twisting and rehashing old heresies that have...

    Pope wants to change the Lord's Prayer

    you tube could come up with a billion anti-popes and there are enough stupid people to believe it. 40 is really stretching it. I could accept 10, but not 40. Where is the evidence, and who defines an anti-pope? Heretics like Archbishop Levfvre? Gimmie a break. Funny how any Protestant can...
