The Book of Amos was written in 8 B.C., not the end of the 1st century. The Book of Amos is a prophetic book of the Hebrew Bible largely dating to the 8th century BCE and considered to be scripture by modern-day Jews and Christians. The work chronicles the visions that the ancient author of...

Jesus didn't say water or spirit in John 3:5. Jesus didn't say water was spiritual in John 3:5. Jesus didn't say you don't need water in John 3:5. Jesus said nothing about a "spirit only" baptism. And nowhere in all of Scripture are there any age restrictions for baptism. "whole households"...

You can't argue with one lost in Modalism until they are freed from this heresy.

You ask because you have nothing to do with the early Church and have been trained to reject The Early Church Fathers. My guess it's out of fear. Polycarp was baptized as a baby and became the Bishop of Smyrna mentioned in Revelations by John who had made him the Bishop. @JohnDB makes a rock...

Here’s why John Paul II said “Do not be afraid” Christians should not be afraid of any storm that may buffet them, for they have their hope in Jesus Christ, who came to save the world from darkness. For St. John Paul II, nothing should take away our hope in the Lord. When we know that God is...

End of what? End of civilization? The end of the human race? The end of the earth? Civilizations come and go. The earth will vaporize when the sun goes nova in about 13 billion years from now. We have a modern day fear based Hitler who would rather have a nuclear holocaust than lose his power. I...

Catholics baptize adults too, after a period of instruction, just like the early church. During this period of instruction, they are called catechumens. If they are martyred for the faith before baptism, its called the Baptism of Blood. If a person desires baptism but dies too soon, its called...

Amen! I'm going to buy your book!

I fully agree, as do most Christians. APAK says ‘churches,’ hold to a destructive doctrine.

"pray" does not mean worship. Nothing can be explained to you if you don't understand plain English. New Testament doctrine doesn't say saints in heaven are dead. Bible cults say otherwise.

The consequences of The Fall is just, it has nothing to do decrees. Blame the consequences on Adam and Eve. God made a "decree" back then, I'll go with that.

Either you are completely brainwashed, or have reading comprehension issues. NOBODY CLAIMS MARY SAVES. Get off your anti-Mary bandwagon, it stinks.

Your 2nd OP is loaded with severe anti-Catholic bias and grudge, with disgusting false histories, so I gave you a much needed spanking, but you are too proud to admit you have been proven to be dead wrong. Bye and good luck with this anti-Protestant thing you carry with you.

2 Baruch 23:4 doesn't say death was a just decree, it says death was decreed against those who should be born. How a word is used depends on the context. If you want, you can see my post on Original Sin by Scott Hahn in post #43 on this page.

The problem is Bible cults reject the doctrine of Original Sin, and the prot-god is incapable of preventing Mary from original sin. Made-in-America quasi-Christians reject even the reformers take on Mary's sinlessness, yet they are "experts" on end time persecution, while they persecute...

IX. Misunderstanding about Romans 3:23 (“All have sinned”) Rom. 3:23 – Some Protestants use this verse “all have sinned” in an attempt to prove that Mary was also with sin. But “all have sinned ” only means that all are subject to original sin. Mary was spared from original sin by God, not...

Absolutely! Permit me to get radical. "Mary a sinner" and "Mary had other children" are diabolical inventions because they both diminish the uniqueness of the Incarnation. But that's not you, is it.

I doubt you and I will agree on which is 18th century fad theology and what flows directly from the Deposit of Faith.

C. S. Lewis, the famous Anglican writer, once wrote: The Catholic Church, in agreement with Lewis, defines doctrinal development as a growth of depth and clarity in the understanding of the truths of divine revelation. It is important to understand that the substantial or essential truths at...
