    Can We Honor Jesus Christ Through His Mother Mary? a debate

    All that proves is that gay people are welcome, it does not prove that gay behavior is endorsed. Being surprised to find sinners in church is like being surprised to find sick people in a hospital. Maybe in your church each member is 100% holy and righteous every minute of every day, but Jesus...

    Can We Honor Jesus Christ Through His Mother Mary? a debate

    Well, either the gates of Hades did not prevail, or it did prevail and Jesus is lying. You can't have it both ways. Your anger is not justified. It is not a sin to be a homosexual, it is a sin to do homosexual things. The Church makes this very clear. There is nothing wrong with welcoming...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    Paul and John did not teach novel 100 year old rapture theories, which there is no sign of anyone teaching it for 1800 years. History is your enemy. "...Eventually, a third position developed, known as the "mid-tribulational" view, which claims that the rapture will occur during the middle of...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    With Left Behind (Nicolas Cage) movie, it’s time to revisit the question, “Do Catholics believe in the rapture?” The short answer is “yes,” with conditions. The long answer is that we don’t believe in the rapture in the sense that many evangelicals, fundamentalists, and the popular culture...

    Why do they hate being called Christians

    The Rapture was never thought of before 1830. What John Darby did was squeeze the rapture doctrine out of a few passages with his own private interpretation which you take as "biblical". Then came the post-trib rapture. The rapturites became divided. History and Development of Rapture Theories

    Charles Spurgeon's Sanity Litmus Test (are you insane?)

    It's nice of Spurgeon to provide an example of insane bigotry in his brief psychotic rant. I'm glad this kind of lunacy is limited to the fringes of Protestantism.

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    Isaiah 22: 19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be pulled down from your station. Shebna is described as having an "office" and a "station." An office, in order for it to be an office, has successors. In order for an earthly kingdom to last, a succession of representatives is...

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    It doesn't matter who was in Rome first. Peter was the Prince of the Apostles, the First Among Equals. Even if Peter got to Rome 20 years after Paul, Peter would still have primacy. "Disproving" the papacy by disproving Peter in Rome is a joke. His location has no bearing on his office. But...

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    So what. That doesn't mean Satanists are RUNNING the Vatican, which is what you implied. Vatican is a city/state, lots of room for wackos. Besides, since the Vatican is satans' #1 enemy, you can expect such sects to gravitate there and attack the Church in numerous ways. But they are not there...

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    W.F. Albright (Protestant) and C.S. Mann “[Peter] is not a name, but an appellation and a play on words. There is no evidence of Peter or Kephas as a name before Christian times….Peter as Rock will be the foundation of the future community. Jesus, not quoting the Old Testament, here uses...

    Can We Honor Jesus Christ Through His Mother Mary? a debate

    1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; A surface reading of I Timothy 2:5 would seem to eliminate the idea of Christians “mediating” graces to one another: “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ.”...

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    This is hate propaganda. An authority mentioned in the site is Malachi Martin, regarded by many as a heretic. You should find sites that don't use slander as a marketing tool.

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    What do you think "Peter" means? Did Jesus change Simon bar Jonah's name to Peter or didn't He? Are you suggesting Jesus hasn't the authority to change Simon bar Jonah's name to Rock because the word "rock" has other uses in scripture? We know that God is called rock, but that doesn't prove...

    Peter Was Never The Rock

    As it has been pointed out, the Greek word for stone is lithos,which not found in Matthew. By interpretation, you can't be taught anything. Find a Greek lexicon that says "lithos" There are multiple metaphors for Christ and the Church. Jesus is the builder who builds His Church on the Rock of...

    6) Dead Saints Appear on Earth to Interact With Men Not only does God not want a prohibition of contact between saints in heaven and on earth, but He goes so far as to allow, on several occasions as recorded in the Bible, dead saints to return to earth for this very purpose! These are instances...
