    Was Peter thr Rock that the Church was built upon?

    Where did you dig up this lame response? Are you aware that "Papists" is an insult? "The Catholics" also point out that the FATHER revealed to PETER and only to PETER who JESUS was, and important and often neglected point in these discussions. "Your name shall be Rock and on this Rock" is...

    Was Peter thr Rock that the Church was built upon?

    In a nutshell, your feelings and perceptions determine what the text says.

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Who said anything about the doxology being rejected because it's found in the Didache? Why do you think the Church rejected the whole Didache when some wanted it to be in Scripture? If you strongly believe the doxology belongs in Scripture, and we have already determined it is the original...

    Was Peter thr Rock that the Church was built upon?

    And I tell you that you are Peter, and on me I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. That is how it is read, and that is not what it says. And it doesn't make sense. PROTESTANT SCHOLARS AGREE, PETER IS THE ROCK To whom or to what was Jesus referring when He said...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Didn't you just say the Didache is not Scripture? I agree it is not scripture, but you are just being argumentative. There is no "majority of Greek manuscripts" that leans one way or the other. That's why you haven't given me a list that I asked for. There is the Majority Text, also known as the...

    question about crosses

    Worship of God Via Natural Images (vs. Jim Drickamer) The words of Reformed Baptist elder Jim Drickamer will be in italics. Some of our Protestant brethren (mainly Calvinists but some other denominations as well) have an almost obsessive fear of any image associated with worship at all...

    We believe that there are no more words of God outside the Bible; how do you think about it?

    We believe that there are no more words of God outside the Deposit of Faith, the Written Word and the words spoken by Jesus that were handed down to the Apostles and their successors. The two are complementary and closely related, but they are not identical in the mode of transmission nor in...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    I don't know if you are asking a question or being a dumb smartass. Didache: Chapter 8. Fasting and Prayer (the Lord's Prayer). But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week. Rather, fast on the fourth day and the Preparation (Friday). Do...

    Mother Angelica and the Magic of EWTN

    The Gospel according to you tube. What a joke. History of the Early Church according to you tube. A bigger joke. One World Religion according to ignorant paranoid conspiracy theorists. Constantine myths according to anti-Catholic revisionist liars who have nothing better to do. Odn, you...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    Missing: two earliest Greek witnesses of Matthew 6:13 - Sinaiticus and Vaticanus both from the 4th century. Origen, Tertullian and Cyprian, not used Vulgate, the Douay-Rheims, the Confraternity Edition, and the New American Bibles The absence of the doxology in early Alexandrian manuscripts...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    As I understand it, the doxology was added, but removed when it was realized it wasn't part of original scripture in order to maintain it's purity. It remain in the manuscripts the KJV was translated from. I have no opposition to anyone who favors the KJV. My preference is the RSVCE. The...

    New forum

    Last year alone, 90,000 Christians died for their faith. If that is not a holocaust I don't know what is. Some years ago I made this profile avatar in Paint, to honor the Christian martyrs in Syria, brutally killed by the ISIS. The horrors made me cry, and pray. Children killed while parents...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    King James Version is mentioned in a couple of paragraphs in the above link. I left it out of my post on purpose.

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    There are two general philosophies translators use when they do their work: formal or complete equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Formal equivalence translations try to give as literal a translation of the original text as possible. Translators using this philosophy try to stick close to the...

    Why are there so many versions of the Bible?

    But you can't say where and when these alleged events took place because they are lies invented by anti-Catholic bigots, YOUR AUTHORITY. The first 40 popes were martyred but you have no knowledge of who killed them. And you have never provided any documentation supporting your viscous LIE...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    They may not have an answer, but they can shop around. I have always found the Bible to be clear and essentially “self-interpreting” whenever I studied it. But in fact, people do not agree on what its clear teachings are. This is self-evident in the massive internal contradictions of...
