Truth is objective, it is not determined by what it means to me or anybody else. Truth has to be found. All the items on your list has been answered a million times, but you have to want the answers.

Packing 5 misrepresentations into a single sentence is a rant.

Why is pascha found only in the KJV? We call it a liturgical calendar.

I think the 500 year old challenges to the Primacy of Peter is running out of steam.

It proves doctrinal disunity and theological chaos. Yes. The Duay-Reims is a translation of the (oldest) Latin Vulgate, and predates the KJV by 11 years. The CC doesn't have the authority to make inclusions into Scripture. I hope that is not what he is saying. I always thought Noah's Ark...

Which authentic Traditions are man made? So you celebrate Passover, The Resurrection, that most people call Easter, and the Birth of the Savior, that most people call Christmas. What's the problem?BTW, Pentecost is normally celebrated 40 days after the Ascension. You may be referring to the...

I don't bash Protestants, I defend against attacks and insults like your anti-Catholic remarks and historical ignorance in post #66. MOST OF THE TIME what few Catholics in here post is defensive, or haven't you noticed? But I did turn the tables on the standard statue worship insanity that...

That's what I said. The Winter Solstice was NOT a Roman Civil holiday until 273 AD. That fact is from wikipedia and you correcting me is a pretense. The Emperor Aurelian made December 25th a civil holiday because the Christians were already using it to celebrate the Birth of Jesus and he was...

Without the name of the forum and subforum, and the thread title, I'll never find it. More info please, I'd be glad to help.

The Winter Solstice was NOT a Roman Civil holiday until 273 AD. The Emperor Aurelian made December 25th a civil holiday because the Christians were already using it to celebrate the Birth of Jesus and he was trying to detract from the Christian celebration! None of the Sun Cults used December...

Romans 11:28-29 doesn't say that.

You do a lot of pontificating but you haven't answered my question in post #72, which was in direct reply to your post to truth. It's your thread; you can go off topic if you want.

As in the days of Noah, the ones who were "left behind" were the good guys, not the bad guys! That is, during the flood, Noah and his family (the good guys) were left behind, the others were taken (perished). If Protestant "experts" on early Church Fathers want to dogmatize St. Ephraem the...

All 3 lines? It's a public forum. Am I supposed to be silent while you mouth off nonsense about the Catholic Church? I patiently tried to explain inculturation but I don't know what I am talking about.

A tribulation period is not contested. But like anything else, it's a matter of interpretation. I still don't see him saying the saints on earth will fly up into the air. " are taken to the Lord" could mean the Eucharist on earth, so it's a matter of premise. Either way, I thank you for this...

Well isn't that interesting! The closest thing Ephraem says about an alleged rapture is ...Believe you me, dearest brothers, because the coming of the Lord is nigh, believe you me, because the end of the world is at hand, believe me, because it is the very last time.... Because all saints and...

No. Presentism is a historical fallacy. It is an uncritical adherence to present-day attitudes, especially the tendency to interpret past events in terms of modern values and concepts. How does that relate to the statues of the reformers? You can't deal with the hypocrisy so you change the...

No but you are left defending the existence of reformist statuary. I know they are not worshiped by Protestants for the same reason statues in a Catholic church are not worshiped by Catholics. But the false charge of statue worship has been going on for 500 years because it's part of the...

I am not arguing against the Second Coming, the event of our gathering together to be with Christ will take place. What I oppose is the half + Second Coming. The Rapture, as you define it, is a novelty, an 18th century innovation, an invention that sprang out of the footnotes of the Scofield...

Statue of John Calvin who banned all statues
