And you're proud of being the author of confusion in your own post?

Pagan religious practices such as that which was done in Mithraism has become so thoroughly embedded in Catholicism that we now have "Christians" believing in cannibalism. I might as well build a statue of Count Dracula and worship it.

So you believe all that rubbish makes the heart alive? Not what I experienced at my church. They all left the church every sunday as dead as they were before.

If all those rituals had a shred of actual value to it in itself, surely it would have stood the test of time. It didn't end well. Makes me wonder why people put so much stock in it. They take it seriously for the wrong reasons. The only real reason why God required all that mess, was to be a...

Rituals are the ties that bind you to a specific group. Without it, there is nothing there, because it says nothing about the actual contents of ones heart that only God knows in the end. You're just going through the motions, and nothing about it saves or brings you any closer to God.

Question is, are these ceremonies required for one to be saved? If it is, then God is quite frankly a weakling and is no more powerful or different than the witchcraft performed on behalf of false gods. It essentially becomes a sort of works based faith actually.

I think we're too concerned about the wrong thing. We will know what the mark is, because for one, it will be named after the beast, with the number being 666. For the mark to even be a factor, the guy the mark is named after has to rear his ugly head. The chicken has to come first before the egg.

Umm, no thank you, but thanks for the offer anyway. :D

While one can say that we are all predestined to be disobedient little douchebags because of Adam, it cannot be proven that some are "predestined" to be "saved" and others not because of it. ;)

:) I'm not "anti-intellectual", I'm anti hogwash, to put it mildly.

You'll find "evidence" debunking the existence of Jesus as a "conspiracy theory" if you look hard enough. It will be in His Word. Edit: Oh, and some of the biggest Conspiracy theorists on the planet are law enforcement, cops, in case you haven't noticed. Its what they do as a starting point to...

Well Jesus was quite the angry fellow sometimes when it came to the Pharisees, so I'd say no, not if its righteous anger.

The problem with those two examples is the individuals requesting interpretation were never Gods chosen to start with. Today we have believers asking other believers what their own dreams mean, who will then give their own interpretations of those dreams, often citing OTHER people as their...

The problem is no actual interpretation of the dream was given by God or an angel of God in the narrative like it always was. Its left completely open for anyone to give their own interpretation of it. I see nothing in it about a church, or satanic rituals, etc. You are claiming this is what the...

Thing is, whenever any of those men were given a dream from God, its interpretation was made crystal clear. There wasn't a shadow of a doubt in their minds that it came from God. This is not what we see today. People are only assuming a dream is from God, and we can see they are really not too...

Exactly, we just hate the heathenism within Catholicism.

110 A.D would date this in the 2nd century actually, which if anything makes Catholicism a branch of Christianity, which, as stated in Acts came out of the first century, which says nothing about "Catholics". We know this because the book is dated between 61-64 A.D, first century. During that...

When it comes down to it, we walk by faith and not by sight because we would in fact drop deader than a door nail at the sight of him. We are pretending like God has a choice in this matter. We see that he doesn't with how he communicated with Moses on mount Sinai. Yes, a face to face...

So you say.......but it does plainly contradict scripture. I won't bother explaining why. You can't make people believe what they don't want to hear, but only what their itching ears want to hear, even God knows that.

Every Church denomination on the planet have claimed to be the "true church". The only "true church" recorded is that which is written in the new testament. If any churches doctrines or any of its traditions does not line up with the new testament, then let that church be accursed, and that...
