    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Christianity is NOT believing in Christ alone. You must believe in the revelation to the Jews in the OT. You must believe in the God who revealed these things to the Jews. Christ himself must be believed to be the promised Messiah from the OT so you have to believe in those prophecies. While...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Which is the purest form of "reformism" that you claim to over-ride with your private opinions. Have you never heard of Google? Historical ignorance is one thing, historical falsehoods is another. CATHOLIC: Originated from the Greek word KATAHOLOS, which was later Latinized into...

    Myth of the Dark Ages

    ”10 To summarize, Western history consists of four major eras: (1) classical antiquity, (2) then the Dark Ages when the Church dominated, followed by (3) the Renaissance-Enlightenment that led the way to (4) modern times. For several centuries that has been the fundamental organizing...

    Was Mary sinless?

    St. Joseph was the husband of Mary in the common usage of the idea of marriage. (this is no common marriage.) The pious custom of referring to the Holy Spirit as the spouse of Mary is a symbolic expression of Mary’s perpetual virginity and the virgin birth of Jesus. It is not meant in a literal...

    Was Mary sinless?

    That's the Kool-Aid of the Manichean heresy that leads to spiritual death. But don't worry, we have The Antidote.

    Was Mary sinless?

    So, do you mean Mary was a pass-around between 2 husbands? My Bible says Joseph was a just (righteous) man. Do you think he would be so stupid as to violate The Temple while not even being a high priest??? Your only way out is to deny Mary was a Temple. Or unwittingly assert that Mary was a...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Even in English, "brother" has several meanings. Cherry picking one meaning to support your preconceived notions is dishonest. If you refuse to use English properly, there is no point in further discussions with you.

    Was Mary sinless?

    Protestant: It bothers me that perpetual virginity indicates an opinion that sex is sinful. I see. So you are equally concerned, I imagine, when Paul (in 1 Corinthians 7) praises those who are voluntarily celibate for the sake of undistracted devotion to the kingdom (i.e., those who lived as he...

    Was Mary sinless?

    It's scriptural ignorance. Matt. 1:25 – this verse says Joseph knew her “not until (“heos”, in Greek)” she bore a son. Some Protestants argue that this proves Joseph had relations with Mary after she bore a son. This is an erroneous reading of the text because “not until” does not mean “did...

    Was Mary sinless?

    First, it's been posted several times, you just ignore it. Second, scripture does not demand "scriptural evidence" for every authentic belief or practice, that's your man made tradition. Mary having other children is an 18th century invention. You are covering up what the reformers themselves...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    The Jehovah’s Witnesses are a sect founded in 1879 by Charles Taze Russell, a Pittsburgh draper. Russell was born in 1852 of Scottish and Irish descent. He became an earnest worker in the Congregational Church. At the age of seventeen he tried to convert an atheist but lost his own faith. He had...

    Jehovah's Witlesses can find Hebrew scholars in a box of cereal.

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    The Jehovah’s Witnesses organization is a registered charity, which means they pay no income tax. Of the 86,000 registered charities in Canada, they rank 18th with more than $80 million in donations in 2016. Charity Intelligence, an agency that monitors charities for Canadian donors, gives the...

    And nobody got enlightened until 1850.

    Was Mary sinless?

    "Mary worship" is a stupid insult used by anti-Mary bigots. You can't or won't answer the question at hand, so you throw in an off topic emotional zinger. Most of the anti-Mary animus stems from a single meaning of the term "brother", which has multiple meanings even in English. If you cannot...

    Was Mary sinless?

    A court of law would never accept a distorted Bible as evidence. Using a false translation is dishonest. Matthew 22: 46 And nobody was able to say a word in reply to him, and from that day on, no one dared to question him any further.

    Was Mary sinless?

    So, you support the great cover up what the reformers themselves taught about Mary's sinlessness. This cover up started due to the false philosophies of the Enlightenment Era in the 18th century. Before that, not a single Protestant denomination taught that Mary was a sinner. :goodj...

    Cultural Meltdown: The Secular Roots of Our Moral Crisis

    About the Book… In this incisive work, Bill Donohue pulls no punches as he contends that our moral crisis is a reflection of two competing visions of morality — one religious and the other secular. The former is grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition, the latter in radical notions of liberty...
