    OFFENSIVE CHRISTMAS FARE EXPLODES

    You have an "us vs them" mentality that is not biblical. I said it at least twice, Christmas is a secular holiday and a Christian celebration. If you want to call secular "worldly", its not worth discussing. Here you accuse me of being in bondage for observing certain holy days. Show me a verse...

    Redemption ?

    We can't appeal to Protestant scholars, we certainly can't appeal to Catholic scholars, so the only thing left we can appeal to that you would accept is anything that agrees with your private opinions.. Are you having trouble with the phrase "Full of Grace"? It only appears in one other place...

    Well, if celebrating the birth of Christ is worldly, does that mean celebrating the Resurrection is worldly?

    OFFENSIVE CHRISTMAS FARE EXPLODES

    Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, and has been since the 2nd century. It is also a secular holiday and that does not mean it is pagan. The exact day of Christ's birth is unknown thus irrelevant to the day chosen. The only "facts" you have are 18th century inventions. You offer...

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    Hi Mungo, good to see you back. Those who posit that Constantine founded the Catholic Church either with the Edict of Milan or by calling together the First Council of Nicaea are unable prove their claim. There is no documentation from that time, either explicit or implicit by historian or...

    Redemption ?

    He is not talkaing about Emmanuel in Luke 1:28, because it's in Isaiah, not Luke. The great Baptist Greek scholar A.T. Robertson exhibits a Protestant perspective, but is objective and fair-minded, in commenting on this verse as follows: “Highly favoured” (kecharitomene). Perfect passive...

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    There were no "officials" outside the Church at Nicae, they were all Catholic bishops. Constantine may have been present, but he had no spiritual jurisdiction whatsoever; he did not participate in the deliberations, and there is not a shred of evidence that he did. Governmental/secular decrees...

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    Doctrinal purity has nothing to do with sinful members. I would challenge most of your hateful rant but it would be pointless. Your HATE has been addressed many times. We are not afraid to admit to sinners in the Church, but not to your HATEFUL exaggerations. You need a church to admit sinners...

    ANTI-CATHOLICISM IN THE MEDIA

    I've been asking that question since I got my first computer and I never get an answer. The standard answer is Constantine introduced paganism into the Church, but an examination of historical facts shows this to be a myth. 13 Logical Problems with the Constantine Founder Myth: Anti-Catholic...

    Is The Vatican >Mystrey Babylon?

    I've had 4 children and there is no way a 10 year old can read and understand Revelation, or Leviticus, or Ecclesiastes, or Daniel. That is a cliche invented by fake pastors. Where is it written that Israel was to have a 7th year Sabbath and do nothing except go to the Temple? Please...enlighten...

    SAN JOSE’S CHRISTMAS TREES UNDER FIRE Every year since the 1950s, San Jose has had a proud record of honoring Christmas with a grand display of Christmas trees. This year, however, a controversy has arisen over some trees. San Jose’s Plaza de Cesar Chavez is the site of approximately 500...

    Dropping Circumcision as a requirement for Christianity in the Early Church

    I don't think its the same at all. Paul circumcised Timothy, IMO, so he would be accepted by the Jews. It was unthinkable to them at that stage in the Infant Church for circumcision to be unnecessary. It took a council to straighten out the controversy. Paul did not exhort Peter for his...

    What do you think about this?

    Courage is an international apostolate of the Catholic Church, which ministers to persons with same-sex attractions. The Five Goals were created by the members themselves, when Courage was founded. The goals are read at the start of each meeting and each member is called to practice them in...

    First bishop at Rome, male or female

    The reason I quoted Geobbles was to dig at 101's vain repetition. I didn't give the full quote because I thought the rest was irrelevant. Here it is: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as...
