    The Papacy and the USA

    Bill Donohue comments on some appalling invitations to the pope’s White House visit: It is so fitting that the least friendly administration to religion in history would invite a collection of pro-abortion nuns, Catholic gay activists, assorted dissidents and religious rebels to attend Pope...

    The Papacy and the USA

    Yea. The usual paranoid anti-Catholic funnymentalist hate speech that cannot withstand scrutiny. Malachi Martin, mentioned in the video, is a heretic, Mayor Deblasio is an anti-Catholic bigot. A one world system of government is not being promoted by the Pope, that is a lie. BREAKING NEWS...

    God's likeness?

    Nestorianism (5th Century) This heresy about the person of Christ was initiated by Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, who denied Mary the title of Theotokos (Greek: "God-bearer" or, less literally, "Mother of God"). Nestorius claimed that she only bore Christ’s human nature in her womb, and...

    God's likeness?

    A mystery is defined as something that transcends reason, but does not go against reason. The Trinity is a mystery, the analogy of a family helps us to understand what cannot be understood. An image is not an actuality just as a photograph of your mother is not your mother, it is am image of...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    Now I see where you get your lies from. Most of your other posts have been plagiarized , but you are supposed to post the source. I report your posts but it seems we have two sets of rules here. The only people who are gullible enough to buy into that garbage are the ones who are already...

    God's likeness?

    A non sequitur fallacy. Non sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow"), in formal logic, is an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises. In a non sequitur, the conclusion could be either true or false, but the argument is fallacious because there is a disconnection...

    I stand corrected.

    Pedophiles - it's not their fault

    LOL! Here is the address: His Holiness, Pope Francis PP. 00120 Via del Pellegrino Citta del Vaticano It was the worst crisis in the history of the Church. 80% of the scandals did not involve pedophilia, but HOMOSEXUALITY., involving post-pubescent boys (teenagers). HOMOSEXUALS snuck into the...

    Critique this prophecy please

    No, blessedhope. The Pope didn't say that. Don't trust those cheap tabloids. This is what the Pope said: "Who are we to close the doors to the Holy Spirit?" This was the question that Pope Francis repeated this morning during his homily at Mass at Casa Santa Marta, a homily dedicated to the...

    God's likeness?

    I'm talking an analogy. The human family is analogous to understanding the Triune nature of God. It's just an analogy for us dumb people because the smartest people in the world with 5 Ph.D.s in theology cannot fully comprehend God. "Many species of animals" are not made in the image and...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    John 10:27-28 - this is supposed to be the clincher verse for OSAS. Here's why it doesn't work: When Jesus says, "no one shall snatch them out of my hands," He does not mean we can't leave His hands. We can choose to walk away from Him.

    The Anti_Christ> Stephen Hawkings?

    In John's letters (1 John 4, 2 John 1), he tells us that the spirit of the Antichrist denies the Incarnation (the Son of God becoming man) and thereby also the Trinity (the Father and the Spirit, too). THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTI-CHRIST. Funny how the Profits of Doom get all hung up on Revelation...

    Logical fallacies hijack discussion

    Jesus and Paul used the Socratic Method rather frequently. Paul disputed and argued with both Jews and Greeks, as the Bible informs us. Jesus questioned His hearers: often the Pharisees or Sadducees, who disbelieved in Him and in various theological or spiritual truths. Matthew 6:26-30 This...

    God's likeness?

    In seeking to understand the traditional family, Christians should keep in mind that not only are individual persons created in the image of God, but so is the family itself. The human family is the closest analogy that mankind will ever come to concretely understanding the Blessed Trinity...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    It looks to me the verse is saying the absolute for sure way of knowing you are saved is after you are dead. I think that is what "persevere to the end" means. Heb. 9:12 - Christ's sacrifice secured our redemption, but redemption is not the same thing as salvation. We participate in and hope...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    Umm...no. Rome is a city in Italy. Seeking some kind of spiritual higher ground over the Church you claim you were in is just a defense mechanism to overcome your guilt. When Catholics speak about the Church as the “barque of St. Peter,” two images usually come to mind—the actual fishing boat...

    Did Christ instruct His Apostles to pray to His earthly mother?

    Luke 1:36 - Elizabeth is Mary's kinswoman. Some Bibles translate kinswoman as "cousin," but this is an improper translation because in Hebrew and Aramaic, there is no word for "cousin." Acts 1:15, 120 "Jesus' brothers" were present. Mary would have to be pregnant for 90 years! So obviously, if...
