I'm Protestant but know Catholic theology. Exactly my point ! Agreed 100% I live in one of those countries. And, yes, most ...I'd say the vast majority...of Catholics are improperly catechized (or not at all). They do NOT understand their faith system/theology. Agreed. I always agree with...

Catholics are free to believe their conscience on some matters,,,but not any regarding doctrine. For instance...a person can believe what they wish as to where/how/who Caine married. There is no specific teaching/doctrine. Ditto for evolution...as long as God had a part in it. But core...

Protestantism is in trouble because it's always splintering. It's not unified. There is not an exact understanding of what it believes/means. For instance, if I say I'm Catholic,,, you'll know what I believe. If I say I'm Protestant... I'll have to expound and state what I believe. This is...

True. And how is a person vetted that is carrying no ID? And if we want to send them back to thier country.... to which country do we send them? Stopping the flow would be easier and better. Stopped at the source, if possible (maybe not) or stopped at the 200 mile limit of international waters...

Have to agree. Those that do not believe that Jesus is God are totally OUT of the Christian paradigm. Thanks!

Indeed. As heretics do. Because they refuse to be taught by those that the Apostles taught. As if the Apostles would pass on wrong teachings that Jesus died for. But I hearsay that those that the Apostles taught are not inspired. As if the ones from whom heresy is learned ARE inspired !! So...

I'm copying the following from your book.... But WHY would anyone ever want to actually learn what Christianity teaches??!! Better to just make up the Christian religion as we go along..... Thanks for your book, BTW.... CHAPTER 5 (page 69) The Son, the Son of God, the Son of Man...

Could you please explain what you mean by PROTESTANT? You made 3 categories: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. But within the Protestant community are those that believe that Jesus is not God and thus do not believe in the Trinity. So is Protestant a particular denominaion in your...

Italy is trying with this Prime Minister (Ms. Meloni) but she gets too much pushback from the left. Italy began sending immigrants to a country that doesn't come to mind right now...for vetting. It has to be stopped! Seems this was considered abuse by the left and we have a coalition govt here...

The above is obvious just judging from some of the responses you've received. Yes. Some do not understand what they must believe to be defined as Christian and yet continue in their rantings as if THEY have the authority to change the Christian Religion. (I say RELIGION). I'm sorry to say...

The Muslims that do NOT follow their religion are OK and assimilate. The ones that do hate the civilized world and try to change it. Countries don't like their culture to be changed.

Know all about NYC. Where I grew up. Brother still lives there. He's waiting to move but he's waiting too long. Retirement..about 2 years left.

Yes. We're getting the same information here. Seems all of Europe is tending toward the right because the left has ruined the great life/culture that once existed in the different countries. The EU is supposed to be modeled after the US, except that the US FOUGHT for it's unification....Europe...

Deb, what is happening would not have been believed just, maybe, 15 short years ago. When a govt pays no heed to its population... Isn't that authoritarianism??

Yes. It's complicated. A society cannot be constructed, as the new world order is attempting to do. Trump understands this and is attempting to stop the damage - maybe reverse it (?),,, but he's one of too few in this attempt.

I've had to get off my own thread due to the extreme statements made by so called Christains. The frustration has become too much. I do want to disagree with you on one statement you've made. The early chuch preserved what the Apostles taugth and passed on what they taught. I guess we'd have to...

Many moons ago, my brother and I had this conversation. He was a liberal of the left back then and though that man must learn to live with others of different cultures because we're all human. I tried to explain to him how culture affects everything a person does and how they understand all of...

2 of 2 Actually, Augustine DID change basic Christian doctrine. FREE WILL BAPTISM OF INFANTS How long would you like this post to be? Seemed that you did,,,but no matter. I think you know that I'm a girl. Agreed. Augustine changed infant baptism too. Agreed. The church....the original...

I was making the point that there was Christian theology BEFORE Augustine regarding the will of man and it was accepted that man's will is free. Ezekiel is speaking about the New Covenant. Our heart of stone will be turned into a heart of flesh. This does NOT mean that we lose our free will. We...

2 of 2 Pelagius denied the Holy Spirit's work/function. We cannot go from one extreme to the other. You believe in libertarian free will? If you say that we do what we WANT to do,,, and God changed our heart... Then you're explaining compatibalist free will... quite a big difference. Are...
