Real faith is releasing God to tarry another 2000 years if he wills to do so. It's almost like some are demanding that he return and bring about the end in their lifetime, unaware that God has a plan that spans through centuries and many lifetimes, a plan that is greater than we are. I don't...

I agree with all of this and I'm always blessed by quotes from the Prince of Preachers. Thank you.

The same beef every soul sleeper has, that nobody is buying it.

I've found that Christians who think Genesis is a fairy tale also tend to support abortion on demand and many other Left wing evils. The deception is so deep seated they don't even know they're fighting against God and his righteousness. One of them is right on this thread. And why is that...

Funny how when I mention the use of drugs to alter one's state of mind I get attacked by other Christians here. I'm sure that the mark will be a work of deception and already so many Christians who are supposed to be children of light embrace deception even before the strong delusions. So I...

We will all be strapping lads and comely lasses. What fear ye?

Paul used mockery too.

Close. Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are equal to each other, but the authority rests in the Catholic Church. "I should not believe the Gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church." --St. Augustine

Maybe heaven will be "clothing optional" like my family is. No pressure either way.

For centuries people came to know Christ without a leather bound, red-letter KJV in their hands. You're in good company.

I guess St. Paul was just jerking us around in his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians. Ol' Paul loved to do that kind of thing...waste people's time on nonsense just for his amusement. I bet he even giggled as he thought of how seriously that church was taking his garrulous chatter. He told them...

The only problem is making the Bible fit a role it was never designed for. Every Christian should be fluent in the holy scriptures, being well studied in the Old and New Covenants and able to articulate the gospel of Christ. But making the Bible the sole authority on all doctrine is to give it...

Sounds like conditioned agoraphobia. Nudity is a topic of interest with my family because we are naturists, attend naturist events and retreats, and operate a clothing optional home. My (more liberal) wife was raised that way and has converted me to that way of living. The awkwardness, the...

Don't choke on that, Nomad.

The Bible wouldn't have warned us about what signs to look for to identify the son of perdition if it weren't relevant to us. Aside from that, as the old saying goes, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. People don't have to choose between loving God and neighbor and being knowledgeable...

Brother, I will look you up and down and I won't even wince! Our minds will be glorified and conformed to the mind of Christ. Hallelujah!

I disagree. Conservatism is based on the retention of the timeless values that build a strong society. Liberalism is based on the undoing of morality and the promotion of licentiousness that has been the undoing of civilizations for the entire history of man. Liberalism with Christ is no...

It isn't a mere book, but it also isn't the vessel of authority commissioned by Jesus Christ. The Church is. The Bible is the word of God and in every Catholic mass it's referred to as such. But the authority of God in doctrinal and administrative matters has been vested in a living Church...

You see, that's where my problem lies. I consider many referrences to clothing in the afterlife but they all can just as easily be seen as symbolic. We will be clothed in light, righteousness, innocence, dignity, pick any metaphor. If God looked over all He created, including naked Adam and Eve...
