Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the rash of offensive Christmas fare: It’s not even December, and the Christmas haters are already out in force. In addition to those who want to censor Christmas, such as the D.C. Metro Area Transit Agency, there are those who prefer to trash...

That has nothing to do with my post. Jews were required to be physically circumcised. Circumcision of the heart is a spiritual matter; no one can look at a Jew and tell if his heart was circumcised. But circumcision as a requirement was done away with at the infallible Council of Jerusalem...

Circumcision of the heart is certainly true, but it went with physical circumcision the Jews were obligated to follow. The norm was for 8 day old baby boys. Deuteronomy 10:12 does not cancel out the requirement. It's not a false dichotomy of "either/or" but "both/and". There was a great...

When were the terms Bible , Rapture, premillenialism, total immersion, eternal security, King James Version, sola scriptura, total depravity, faith alone, (except James 2:24, where it is rejected), Protestantism, Lutheransim, Calvinism, Anglicanism non-denominational, etc. applied by an...

There are no popes mentioned in Rev. 17. The only places referring to the papacy is Rev. 1:18; 3:7; 9:1; 20:1 - Jesus' "keys" undeniably represent authority. By using the word "keys," Jesus gives Peter authority on earth over the new Davidic kingdom, and this was not seriously questioned by...

You must be a Calvinist.

The Church knows that this Gospel of life, which she has received from her Lord, 1 has a profound and persuasive echo in the heart of every person-believer and non-believer alike-because it marvellously fulfils all the heart's expectations while infinitely surpassing them. Even in the midst of...

Choosing to ignore the gospel is not the same as never hearing it. None of your verses account for the latter. 847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of...

Chapter and verse where Paul says all those who never heard the gospel are condemned to hell. Never hearing the gospel doesn't make them a heathen. They are still human beings. Then they don't need the gospel. 847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do...

Love for the truth was a favorite theme of Pope John Paul II. “Let us seek the truth about Christ and about his Church!...Let us love the Truth, proclaim the Truth! O Christ, show us the Truth! Be the only Truth for us!” – Agenda for the Third Millennium Pope John Paul II The Holy Father’s...

Yes A starting point would be the Trinity, the highest in the hierarchy of absolute truth, from which all truth flows. Absolute truth is divinely revealed. God>Jesus>Apostles>successors who are ordained to teach. No one can possess the truth, then it is no longer truth. We each have our work...

Sacraments are not based on the same reasoning, but the incarnation principle.

I have 10 on ignore so half the time I don't know who you are replying to. You have more patience than I do. Giving psychotherapy in a forum is impossible.

I am satisfied with all of them. Keep up the good work. The end result doesn't matter, it's the process that counts the most.

Because emperors and their armies were smashing them just like John Calvin. You offer no historical context. This was a very complex period in history and you can't get an idea what things were like in 787 by posting 4 points that rides on most peoples ignorance. Protestantism doesn't have...

A purely spiritual Christianity is more like Mancheanism. Christianity is BOTH spiritual AND physical. Your own quote: I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Acts 17:21-22. HE USED THE ALTAR, A PHYSICAL OBJECT...

You've been crying about BofL for 2 - 3 pages. If me or anybody else bothers you that much, use the ignore feature , then you won't have to cry about it. I have 10 in my ignorasium where they bounce off the rubber walls. Soon to be 11.

An estimated 27 million people live in slavery today... ... The stricken face of slavery today is more than the traditional slave laborer of centuries past, though it is that, too. The many modern faces of slavery can be seen in the woman sold into sexual bondage, the child forced to become a...

It's a reminder of the real Jesus, and that reminder leads the mind to God. Does a picture of your mother remind you of her or is the picture itself your mother??? That is just as absurd as your objection to paintings and statues. When you pray to God, do you pray to yourself? We can and we...

The question that needs to be asked is: Would a person be condemned to hell, if, through no fault of their own, never heard the gospel?
