    Why do they hate being called Christians

    1. There would be nothing wrong with saying the Babylonian Catholic Church got its practices and doctrines from earlier sources. (That wouldn't make them Biblically sound but it would at leasy be truthful in where you got them) 2. I actually like the early Church fathers... But again... The...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    That's not what I said. Read the quote by Ignatius in post #110. He acknowledges the Church in Rome to be the center of teaching authority. Peter and Paul did not start the Catholic Church, they were being obedient to Christ's command to teach all nations....Jesus Christ started the Catholic...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    Bablyon Catholic Church is hate propaganda, is highly insulting, and it proves your ignorance of early church history. That's the language of historical clowns like Jack Chick, Dave Hunt, Alexander Hyslop, legions of liars and bigots. How can I misrepresent what Ignatius said when I quoted him...

    Rome vs Melchizedek

    The sheep and the goats are divided in heaven. One on His right, and one on His left. You are part of the Catholic Church, you are just a separated community. 817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    Ignatius not mentioning Rome from one quote is a red herring to the fact that he taught essentially the same thing about the Eucharist as what the Church teaches today. That's called consistency, something you lack. That's why you don't like Ignatius. I'm still waiting for scholarly evidence...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    There is not a shred of evidence supporting your psychotic myth making. Since you claim to know history, show something scholarly, not the drivel you get from nut jobs on you tube. The first 40 popes were killed by pagan Romans, but that means nothing to anti-Catholics who are forced to re-write...

    Rome vs Melchizedek

    Titus 3:5-7 – “He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ, so that we might be justified by His grace and become heirs of eternal life.” This is a powerful text which proves that baptism regenerates our souls...

    God's Word Has Changed

    The deuterocanonical books are Jewish history, and were rejected in 90 AD despite Christians who were using them as scripture. If a person does not accept the deuterocanonical books as scripture, I really don't care. But it leads to rejecting much of the Jewish faith, thus, they sever their own...

    God's Word Has Changed

    John arrived at the tomb first, but did not go in. He waited for Peter to enter the tomb first, out of respect for Peter's role as leader of the Apostles. There is no plausible alternative explanation why John would wait for Peter to be the first to enter the tomb. It was not a trivial event...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    There is not one verse in the Bible that pits the Bible against the Church. That is a false man made tradition.

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    He probably doesn't remember. Ex-Catholics usually leave the Church after grade 8, the ripe age of 13 when they know everything. Then they get scooped up by storefront evangelicals who brainwash them on the "evil" Catholic Church. That's why ex-Catholics become anti-Catholics. They are...

    Whatever happened to Mary of Jesus?

    Whether Mary died a physical death or not is not a definitive teaching, so we are free to accept either view. The last few popes have said she died. The Assumption of Mary is a real sticky point for non-Catholics because it is not explicit in scripture, but it is based together with other Marian...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    You are quoting from a book that was canonized by Catholic bishops in the 4th century, the same Church you demonize. I hope you get to the root of your anger and resolve it. Blaming the Church for everything gone wrong in your life isn't rational, but it's typical for bitter ex-Catholics

    Physcial Healing or Spiritual Healing?

    Then a believer should accept the cross that befalls them. Getting healed of something is not a badge of holiness, and not getting healed does not make a second class Christian. Gal. 4:13-14; 2 Tim. 4:20 - Paul was afflicted with sickness. These verses show that not all illnesses were cured in...

    Remit and Retain?

    Remit/Retain \ Binding and Loosing Binding and loosing is a rabbinical term according to the Jewish Encyclopedia. The power of binding and loosing was always claimed by the Pharisees... the Pharisees, "became the administrators of all public affairs so as to be empowered to banish and...

    Rome vs Melchizedek

    I. THE PARTICULAR JUDGMENT 1021 Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ.592 The New Testament speaks of judgment primarily in its aspect of the final encounter with Christ in his second coming, but also repeatedly...

    Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinthians 12)

    There are lots of charismatic prayer groups out there, it's a matter of knowing where to look. I can't speak for other denominations, I'm sure they have them. The Charismatic Renewal has been alive and well in my church for 50 years, with the blessing of every pope since. The Bible has ordained...

    IRELAND’S “MASS GRAVES” STORY IS FAKE NEWS Bill Donohue comments on news stories that Catholic nuns in Ireland housed a mass grave of babies: It was a lie in 2014 and it is a lie in 2017. There is no evidence of a mass grave outside a home for unmarried women operated by nuns in Tuam, Ireland...
