What year or council did this alleged monumentous apostasy take place that no one noticed until the middle of a revolt?

Brakelight's Seventh Day Adventism. I'm guessing but the lies sure match up.

Spong is a Modernist. Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies. The Bible warned us this would happen. Paul told his young protégé, Timothy, "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their...

The Mandela Effect is explainable. It has nothing to do with changing God's word. The meaning of God's word can never change, the problem is that it is housed in limited human language. There is no 'divine Greek' or any other language. But our understanding can develop over time. Isaiah 11 is...

Agreed. 2 Cor 3:5 Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, 6 who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Jesus didn't speak Greek to...

. "Mary worship" is not nice, it's ignorant bigotry and highly insulting. You run when I ask questions. I am also displeased that some of them would rather dwell on my use of the initials "BS" than actually addreaing charges. Sure... Maybe I shouldn't have.... But adults get over it and...

The problem with this statement is there was no Bible during this time period. What makes this statement so absurd is that Paul was always subject to the Church. Peter could have been sent by the Holy Spirit to Paris, then we would be called Parisean Catholics. It makes no difference to...

My "principles" are based on doctrinal unity, all 23 rites. Protestant disunity is a scandal, even one denomination is too many. As Paul writes, Rom. 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them...

Despite his reservations, Lincoln did move forward on emancipation. Evidence indicates that he was beginning to devise emancipation schemes as early as November 1861 — a mere eight months after his inauguration. On November 18 he informed George Bancroft, the historian, of his interest in...

Matt. 16:13 from a geographical perspective, Jesus renames Simon to rock in Caesarea Philippi near a massive rock formation on which Herod built a temple to Caesar. Jesus chose this setting to further emphasize that Peter was indeed the rock on which the Church would be built. Authoritive...

Not the same at all. Philemon's Relationship to Onesimus As early as the seventh century, Saint Bathilde (wife of King Clovis II) became famous for her campaign to stop slave-trading and free all slaves; in 851 Saint Anskar began his efforts to halt the Viking slave trade. That the Church...

I'll be gone for a week. Matt. 16:18 κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω ὅτι σὺ εἶ Πέτρος, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ πύλαι ἅδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς. this time cribbed so you can understand it. κἀγὼ [I, emphatically, in response to Peter’s delaration] δέ [and, also...

You have it backwards. what Jesus said predates any text. No scholar, Protestant or Catholic, would agree with you. Try and find one. No Greek text is older than the Aramaic Matthew translated from. Special pleading. The only obvious answer is the truth, which is why you refuse to answer it...

Because Paul used pagan scriptures once and Dueterocanonical scriptures many times does not mean the Deut. are pagan. It's a senseless non-sequitur argument. The Greek Bereans had been using them for 200 years before Christ, and no one argues the Bereans were "searching" in pagan scriptures...

since virtually all of these 23 western and smaller eastern rites are in union with the Pope , there is actually one Catholic Church, not 242 churches or denominations. Based on the encyclopedia's own definition of "denomination" the editors appear to be separating and counting by country which...

I've dealt with "petra" repeatedly, and you have dismissed the Aramaic as imaginary because it resolves the grammatical problem your whole argument rests upon. Guess what, there are no original Greek manuscripts either. FYI, the Syrian Bible is extant Aramaic. You have failed to answer the...

No. What we are saying is the Catholic Church is the historical Church that hasn't separated from anyone. Other churches have separated, some further away than others. Like I tried to explain with CCC 817-820 in post #676, Protestants are accepted as Christians. "Christian is my name, and...

But he used them anyway, just like the rest of the NT authors, the Ethiopian Jews and the early Church Fathers used the Deuterocanon as legitimate Scripture. You have been ripped off by one person's opinions 500 years ago.

Biblical slavery is not the same as chattel or racial slavery. In most cases, it was an act of compassion especially for women and children who survived a war. God did not endorse slavery, He tolerated it. Biblical slaves had rights, and were protected from abuse under Levitical law. They could...

In addition: ….and you belong to that Church whose faith St. Paul describes as being "proclaimed (KATAnggeletai) in the whole universe (en HOLO to kosmo)” (Rom. 1:8) "So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Sama'ria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and...
