Do you automatically assume pagan Rome is one and the same as Christian Rome??? Yea, after he declares himself to be Christ. What does the Bible say about the anti-Christ? The Antichrist is mentioned by name in only four verses of Scripture: 1 John 2:18, 22, 4:3, and 2 John 7. There are other...

At the time of the Last Supper, there were over three dozen Aramaic words to say “this means,” “represents,” or “signifies,” but Jesus used none of them in his statement, “This is my body.” Since the WTS denies the Catholic teaching on the Eucharist, they have taken the liberty to change our...

The New World Translation (NWT) is produced by the Watch Tower Society, the parent organization of the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs). The New Testament (or “Christian Greek Scriptures,” as they call it) was first produced in 1950, followed by the Old Testament (“Hebrew Scriptures”), produced...

I don't see many, if any, following your anti-Biblical polemics. Pope Francis regularly affirms that Jesus is the Christ, the God-man, something Scripture tells us the Antichrist will not do (see 1 John 2:22, 2 John 1:7). (but Hobie doesn't care, he does it anyway.) Pope Francis has not...

He drank 1/5th KoolAid of Alexander Hislop, 2/5th from paranoid funnymentalists, and 2/5th from Ku Klux Klan theology, shaken, not stirred, with crushed ice from the internet.:p

oops. Then why do you think Constantine went personally to Pope Sylvester? ; for tea and crumpets or to collaborate a council? The Pope was too sick to make the journey all the way to Nicae, so he sent 2 legates with his full authority. Neither them nor the Pope wrote the Nicene Creed...

Demonize the monks who meticulously preserved the Scriptures and resorted to violence on their lunch breaks. :goodj: False. Theodosius didn't impose what most of the old Roman Empire had already accepted, and Arianism eventually fizzled out. Name the historian. The Inquisition is an emotional...

Not quite. The controversy was not within the Church, but Arians who contradicted what the Church had always believed. That's what Athanasius proved; that's why you don't like him. The Arians were not unitarians, a 17th century offshoot of reformism. Only one was right, the tradition of...

You don't to go back very far. If Soulx8 is obsessed, then you are a professed Antidicomarite. See post #131&132 Instead if trading insults, let's stick to Sacred Scripture. @Sigma uses scripture alone for her explanations, you use post-enlightenment era polemics unheard of before the 18th...

Riiight!!

In my opinion, (not doctrinal) if you reject the Nicene, you are a quasi-Christian or a psuedo-Christian or a JW. Or worse, a relativistic liberal. Please cite scholarly sources from recent Protestant historians about Athanasius. JW's are half baked Arians. Good luck defending him. From this...

Nothing would make Putin happier to see NATO dissolved.

The reason it took so long to clarify the identity of Christ was because Christianity was illegal. The historic Church went from being persecuted to being protected, beginning with the Edict of Milan, (a civil law, not church doctrine) The Council of Nicaea of 325 refuted the heresy of Arianism...

THE RESURRECTION OF THE ANTIDICOMARITE HERESY AFTER 1400 YEARS Augustine “Heretics called Antidicomarites are those who contradict the perpetual virginity of Mary and affirm that after Christ was born she was joined as one with her husband” (Heresies 56 [A.D. 428]). What we have today is the...

You have done an excellent job in the 3 OP's. It's really a matter of believing 18th century liberalism. Before that, not a single Protestant church or teacher believed Mary had other children. Why do I claim that? Because none of the early reformers taught it. It's a 200 year old liberalist...

Brakelite: You have decided that scripture says the historic Church has fallen away (much like the Mormons) that cannot be found ANYWHERE in scripture, you have decided to accept unbiblical polemics. You obey what YOU have decided. Your false polemical claim that the pope or future popes is...

For only 7 verses? "without any reference to scripture" is a false assumption. We refer to scripture as much as anybody else around here. Catholics have to interpret every verse of the Bible according to some dogmatic proclamation of the Church? This is another ridiculous (and highly annoying)...

Your constant irrational insults is like the school yard bully and must be ignored. goodbye.

I know, I see rosaries hanging from the rear view mirror all the time. It is not there for protection, that's superstition. People do that to be identified as Catholic, the same as Protestants who apply a fish symbol bumper sticker on their car; it identifies the owner as Christian. :goodj:

You are half right. Repent is a verb that can be used in a couple of ways: To turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life. It involves feeling remorse or contrition for past actions and making a conscious decision to change one’s behavior. For example, if someone has...
