Have you ever come across one of those Protestant sectarians who, finding heretics on all sides, has reduced authentic Christianity to just himself? Everyone else has it wrong—certainly the historic churches but just as certainly the denominations he used to be part of. One by one he became...

I suggest you start your own church.

Ezek. 36:25 – Ezekiel prophesies that God “will ‘sprinkle’ clean water on you and you shall be clean.” The word for “sprinkle” is “rhaino” which means what it says, sprinkle (not immersion). (“Kai rhaino eph hymas hydor katharon.”) 2 Kings 5:14 – Namaan went down and dipped himself in the...

John 20:23 – Jesus says, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” In order for the apostles to exercise this gift of forgiving sins, the penitents must orally confess their sins to them because the apostles are not mind readers. The...

Generally speaking, people who merely disagree are not liars. The pope welcomes disagreement because it pushes people to search for the truth via meaningful dialogue on complex matters. Liars are easy to spot, they repeat the same inflammatory rhetoric borrowed from fundamentalists and...

You may confuse Truther with the facts! "Lavrovite", a new term I just invented. Scroll up to post #250 for clarification.

https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/religion-and-philosophy/apologetics/how-can-catholicism-be-true-when-catholics-are-so-dead.html Truther, you will probably ignore this link, but don't goad me into pasting the article into the thread. Not many readers bother with long posts. You were one...

How liars create the ‘illusion of truth’ Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda...

The NT does not teach your Gnostic dualism. Jesus is fully God and fully man, not spirit alone. That heresy was refuted beginning with the first 3 councils of the Church that is accepted by all, that you reject. That's the cult of "Behold" opposing both Catholics, Orthodox, and most Protestants...

Cutting hair was NOT a covenant. Maybe long hair got in the way of a man's work. Paul is talking about Israelites at a certain time and place, not artists in later centuries. Leviticus 24 The Lord said to Moses: 2 Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to...

An evangelical Protestant asked me: “Could you find me a definition and word etymology of latria and dulia?” Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (2nd ed., edited by F. L. Cross & E. A. Livingstone, Oxford Univ. Press, 1983, p. 430, “Dulia” – italics added, here and below): This is...

“Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!’” Context Summary Psalm...

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Mary can't do anything without God. She is a creature, a human. Any devotion to Mary that does not lead or point to Jesus is a false devotion. All her glory in heaven comes from Christ, as the moon reflects the light of the sun. The Lord's phrase, "I will...

Then you were committing a sin. No, you don't. Now you are blaming the CC for your sinfulness. I think you are a victim of propaganda, not what the Church actually teaches. Praying before a statue is not praying to a statue. You keep using the same repeat, repeat, repeat tactics used by...

Photos don't show the veneration given to the prototype (a person in heaven with God), so photos make for a handy whip for shallow, ignorant anti-Catholics to scourge Catholics with. https://www.catholic.com/tract/do-catholics-worship-statues

No, it is not. Water and spirit are never separated in Scripture regarding baptism. Nowhere. Not in any Bible. The funnymentalist disdain for anything physical (i.e. water) denies the Incarnation Principle. You do it automatically without thinking. Then Martin Luther must have been a cult...

No, you repeat, like a propagandist. Your private interpretation of Acts 2:38 is illogical. Peter is not baptizing anyone when he said you must be baptized. He is not using the required formula in Matthew 28:19. Your insistence that Acts 2:38 over-rides Jesus' explicit instructions in Matthew...

Amen. Most people, before going to a wedding, will shower and put on decent clothes. There should be no difference when gathering to worship the eternal living God.

That's true, that would be most Protestants, but Behold is an anti-Protestant. Everybody is wrong except himo_O

True charity cannot tolerate error. Lot's of members don't like BofL's "tone", because repetitive lies are a dangerous threat to the faith of uninformed readers. BofL's "tone" is firm because the skulls of anti-Catholic liars is so thick. Repetitive lies is the rule of propaganda. The feeble...
