-- There is no way you are saying that with a straight face. Aspen, this forum has a number of threads listing multiple beliefs of the Catholic church they say are based on 'oral tradition' that are clearly not supported by the Bible.

So I ask you for the third time Gypsy, who is the agrieved party here?

While the date of December 25th has absolutely no historical validity to it, my understanding is that the year of Christ's birth was certain. Not because of religious documentation, but the fact that historical Roman documents mention Christ, as well. But since I am not a scriptural historian...

Gypsie, your initial post shows the actions by the Israelis and the claim by Hamas that it is an act of war. Those two things ALONE qualify for 'heating up' in the M.E. You still haven't stated your position on these events. So I ask yet again.....who exactly do you see as the agrieved party...

-- But you make no mention whatsoever as to WHY the Israelis did this. By leaving that out - COMPLETELY - you give the impression that this was an unprovoked act of war by Israel. Or do you not remember what and only what you said: "Israeli air strike kills Hamas military chief Jabari The IAF...

Gypsy started this article leaving the impression that is where the story started. The story actually started with Hamas lofting rockets into Israeli civilian centers. No provocation beforehand. They were simply thinking that with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood in charge that perhaps Egypt would...

Agreed. Places like Yale and Harvard were originally Divinity Schools designed to instruct and prepare religious leaders. They are not even a shadow of what they were originally designed for. And those were not Catholic schools. That is why I am pointing out that the failure here doesn't...

And if the hearts of the majority of individuals in that nation are corrupt, God punishes the entire nation.

Great question Hugh. Why not ask it in thread that has something to do with the topic at hand.

Strat, I would only hold the Catholic Church up in this specific matter if they failed to speak out. The majority of board members/leaders in Catholic Colleges and Universities are either not Catholic or Catholic in name only. They decisions are mainly based on the secular side of things. So...

What it comes down to is this: When you as a human being feel qualifieed to state that some things in the Bible are just as the Bible says and some things are not - and worse - you feel qualified to identify what they are, you have crossed a line which you are not qualified to cross...

This is a Jesuit University. The university president criticized the Republicans for inviting Ann Coulter to speak at the campus (yes, she's a blow hard) but then has no criticism for Peter Singer, who advocates for sex between humans and animals as well as supporting 'post birh abortions' for...

-- Justin, your opinion goes against the very Word of God. And using the excuse that you could be "staying in a relationship that could damage you for all eternity" completely ignores the fact that God can miraculously address any issue within any relationship if you first seek Him in the...

BigAndy is correct. The person who started the thread mentioned specifically that these demonic spirits were dwelling within the person. There is no way that could be the case AND have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them. Therefore, the person isn't really a Christian or has fallen away from...

-- Hmmm....and I thought one day you would actually get a clue......

-- That isn't his "opinion." That is the Gospel. Obey it or not. Adhere to it or not. Believe it or not. But that is what it says: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." - 1 Tim. 2:12 The question you must decide for yourself...

IAmAWitness, I don't know what you are a witness to, but it doesn't appear to be anything positive. Kepha, what you posted is spot-on accurate. Historically, it is a blueprint that was used against the Jews in pre-WWII Germany. And yes, outright persecution of Christians in this nation is...

A little bird has told me I will be getting this book for Christmas. While I am looking forward to it, I will be reading it with a strong sense of skepticism. We'll see where that goes....

I mentioned several months ago on this board that Barack Obama would win. And even as Romney pulled ahead in the polls I told people not to be fooled at that Mr. Obama would win. The reason is a simple as it is obvious: Over the last two-plus decades America has been turning their backs to...
