And here I was trying to be subtle

When most people say they're Catholic, they're assumed to be Roman Catholic. You are Catholic, as Anglicans have always called themselves Catholic, just not Roman Catholic. I understand disavowing the title to avoid any confusion, but to me, you're Catholic just as I am, just as Anglicans have...

This was well said.

Christianity started out protesting against gladiator events..... And look at us now!

RJ, there's nothing funny about people being dropped into vats of flesh eroding acid... Wait...what are we talking about?

Well I'm glad we haven't devolved the debate by citing irrelevant Hollywood films in lieu of concrete arguments backed by real world facts. Oh wait.....

What should be inferred by the title of this thread is that I believe that Obama's plan mostly sucks. Thanks for spelling out why it sucks. It's not only far from perfect, it's clearly the brain child of an incompetent fool. And if we get completely sucked in and mission creeped into fighting...

One of my favorite and most quoted Bible passages" "Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God, he who does not love, does not know God for God is love" (1Jn 4:7,8) In that passage is a test by which we can discern true...

Well, I'm glad you're not afraid of it....it seems some others are just TERRIFIED of going commando into heaven and will search the Bible diligently (desperately) for any assurance that we will be vouchsafed scraps of cloth to drape over the obscenity that is the human body. It's an irrational...

The OP, along with further commentary from the author, argues that anyone who disagrees with the author, disagrees with God. People are destroyed for holding a viewpoint at variance with Rocky's.

I'm just chuckling at the space alien advocates and their strongest defense of their beliefs...."with all the stars and planets out there, there HAS to be other life!" I beg your pardon....no there doesn't. Pointing out that there are other stars and orbiting planets is not proof of space...

We have an enemy.

Watch a 29 minute video? Yes, it's demonic. No need to convince me further. And when I say it's demonic, I'm talking about the ancient belief in ascended masters which is thinly veiled demonology. I also think it's a fad that will die out and something else will replace it along the same...

Others think because someone is popular on earth they're going straight to hell. The vanity of this discussion sickens me and I'm certain angers the Lord.

I have some terrible news for you, which you apparently haven't anticipated or considered. You'll soon be dead yourself. So will I. That would have been a more apropos title, yes.

"Any Christians who doesn't agree with me disagrees with God's word" Ok, we're through here. I tried my best.

I'm amazed at how we know that visions of heaven are full of metaphors, but in this case we make them literal in our desperation to make sure everyone's wearing clothes in heaven. People are being eclectic about their use of the Bible here, letting their fears and prudishness, which issue from...

Thomasleonard, the short answer is to cry out for vengeance. Many Christians have the wrong idea of forgiveness, that it means reconciliation, love, and the complete paving over of past wrongs. It's an attainable thing when the offense wasn't very grave, but not quite so when the knife burrows...

Quite honestly, I've never considered this point of view, but I like it and it makes sense to me that God was giving Jericho time to repent, a final act and overture of mercy. I really do enjoy your posts and this one was a gem.
