I'm sure it sounds like that to you. Was Jesus the carpenter's son? (Joseph's son) No, he was not. Did Joseph have other children? We don't know. Is it not very likely that Joseph and Mary had relatives in the area..cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles? Of course. They would all be...

The book of James was written to 1st century believers in Jesus Christ and to every believer since then. It is not a book "for Jews only." It is a book for CHRISTIANS. We are "under grace" because God does not have to save anyone from the consequences of sin but He does so because He is...

Kneeling an kissing his ring is not an act of worship any more than is a soldier saluting an officer. AGAIN: If you will bother to consult the catechism of the Catholic church, which is on line, you will find that the pope is NOT worshiped. IF you bother to actually verify that statement THEN...

Concerning the "too many totally corrupt popes who have done untold damage.", name three and describe the untold damage they have done. The "kids" are easily dismissed as close relatives since that was the common meaning of the word in the ancient, middle eastern Aramaic dialects as it is...

That is a common misconception about the Immaculate Conception and, when stated in voice or print, identifies the speaker or writer as someone who has willfully chosen to be ignorant on the topic upon which (s)he has chosen to pontificate since factual information is easily and quickly...

StanJ <<<I'm fairly convince that by the time a RC comes to a site like this, they have already refused to accept the true savior and word of God in lieu of their dogmatic religion.>>> How about the RP's (reformed Protestants) dogmatic religions. (There are many of them which contradict each...

What the scripture says about Mary is: 1- She is the highly favored one; the Lord is with her; she is blessed among women! (Luke 1:28) 2- All generations will call her blessed. (Luke 1:48) 3- She is the mother of God the Word made flesh. (John 1:14; Luke 1:35, 43) 4- She is also the mother of...

I'm trying to figure out how to get those two lines to fit........... iakov

I think you are right. There are people who attempt to separate the Gospel into "Paul's Gospel for the Gentiles" and "the Gospel for the Jews." There is no such division. Paul's teaching agrees with every other teaching found in the New Testament. Pauline theology is not in conflict with the...

Amen and thank you. iakov

The teaching of the Holy Trinity does not in any way suggest or hint at the possibility of the Father and the Son "playing roles." Scripture refers to the Son as the "only begotten" (John 1:14, 18; 3:16,18...) and uses the word to describe the relationship between the Father and the Son. The Son...

What you have accomplished with flying colors is the demonstration of your complete lack of knowledge of history and of how history is done. If I may be so bold, where did you receive your training as an historian? just curious. iakov

It seems to me that Peter's calling was to be an apostle, not a bishop. (A "Pope" is a Bishop.) His primacy among the band of apostles is, IMO, indisputable based on the Gospels and Acts. (As is his fallibility) I know of no one who worships the pope "as Christ's vicar on earth" or for any...

Thank you for your personal opinion.

Very strange noises indeed. I'm sure there is an explanation. When Jesus died and rose from death, He was victorious over death and destroyed its power over mankind. All mankind will be raised immortal and imperishable. (1Co 15:52-55) Christ has trampled down death by His own death and...

That is, I believe, a very good insight. As the Church is the bride of Christ, the enemies of God are the bride of the beast; they make themselves "one flesh" with him. Let's see if we can't arrange some divorces. :) Iakov

I believe the verse which uses the salt metaphor should be read in the immediate context. In the preceding "Beatitudes", Jesus was teaching about how a believer should act in different circumstances as a demonstration to the world of the ways of the Kingdom of God. Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor...

In Ro 13, Paul said that everyone is to be subject to the government and that: Rom 13:3-4 ... rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; or it is a minister of God to you for...
