    True Story

    There you go again, Cliff, bashing Catholicism based on a grade 8 level of catechesis from around 1958, and a poor one at that. Just because you were not paying attention, or the Second Coming was not part of grade 8 religion class curriculum, does not mean it isn't there. 1040 The Last...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    It seems to me you have no respect for Our Lord's mother, Webers-Home. Maybe you had no respect for your own mother which may explain your inability to grasp the Biblical Mary. Luke 1:48 "For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    Not a single bible scholar, Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox, ever 'discovered' the rapture theory until 1830, and before that, they were all too stupid until John Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren Church came along and invented it. 185 years later sensational books and movies are raking...

    2016 will be a Rapture Year.

    I could not accept a never heard of before 1830 theory that says Jesus returns 1 1/2 times. A few sensationalists write books and movies and it turns into a doctrine. tsk tsk. Are your pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation? Find out: http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-rapture

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    I've never heard of "Rome's logic" the way you put it. The ancestors of Mary don't count as mothers of God, anymore than your maternal ancestors are all your mother. You're being ridiculous.

    When Mary called her little Boy in to supper, what did she call Him?

    A related question would be, "What would He, as a toddler, have called her?" "mommy?' It's a trick question because Aramaic speaking children don't say "mommy", the say "memee".

    Image of Jesus Christ

    I like it too. If it were 3 dimensions instead of 2, it would be an idol, according to some, which makes no sense.

    December 25th

    It’s that time of year again when many Christians encounter claims that pagan deities predating Jesus Christ were born on December 25. In popular films, Internet videos, and other media you can find long lists of gods who were supposedly born on the same day. This idea is not limited to...

    What we can prove

    Showing the complexity of the Trinity was not my intention. The teaching of the Trinity comes from Jesus and the Apostles.You demanded proof texting and I gave it. The essense of the Trinitarian doctrine can be found in scripture, but the details required clarification at the Council of Nicae...

    Did God have name in the beginning?

    "I AM" is not a name. God is telling Moses, by inference, that to give God a name is to make Him in our image. If God could be named, he could be defined. "...What Tillich is seeking to lead us to is an understanding of the 'God above God'. We have already seen earlier that the Ground of Being...

    December 25th

    The time of the division of Abijah to serve in the Temple is debatable. I've seen calculations based on the Jewish calendar making Nissan the first month. This is wrong. Rosh Hashana marks the first month in the Jewish liturgical calendar, which gives a different picture of when John the...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    It was Mary's closeness to Christ that made her receive God's "fullness of grace" to be sinless. Without God's grace, it would have been impossible for Mary to be sinless, and she too would be like the rest of humanity. However, because of her decision to say, "yes" in giving birth to Christ...

    Mystery, Babylon the Great...is this you?

    For once I would like to see scholarly documentation on your psychotic hate speech. You have nothing but an opinion based on paranoid delusions of anti-Catholics. The Catholic Church claims to have the fullness of faith, she does not claim to be the only depository source spiritual truth. That...

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

    There is nothing in the Bible that restricts God's Word to it's written form. That does not mean there are some secret or hidden scriptures. It means that God's Word is not confined to one mode of transmission. That would be putting limits on God. There are two modes of transmission, and just...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    Your "bottom line" is no different than the Nestorian heresy that was addressed at the Council of Ephesus. Most Catholics readily bleat that they believe Christ is fully God and fully man; but in reality, they only believe he's fully God. That is a lie. We know where Jesus got his humanity...
