Axehead, you scourge my Lord with scripture. Your angry, irrational hatred for the faith that is dear to me can no longer be tolerated. You are the first to be ignored since I've been here. Please tell your doctor how you feel about the Catholic Church. He has medications that can help you...

Axehead your post has been reported.

So you are anti-church, mjrhealth? How do " nondenominationalists" such as yourself , which has its own distinct theology, and often boast that they are “separated from any denomination or form of religion,” obey God’s command that Christians “all speak the same thing, and that there be no...

We might get the idea that The Holy Family was poor by comparing Leviticus 12:8 with Luke 2: 22-40. There is nothing in scripture that says they were poor. Our Lord's foster-father, Joseph, had a trade. Then why did they offer two doves instead of a lamb? Because to offer a lamb, it would have...

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. The...

[/color] It truly amazes me how someone can ignore my post that explains "Mystery", taken from the original Greek, that agrees with 1 Timothy 3:16, and then accuses me of building "air castles". This is what you ignored: In the Catholic sense, mystery means something that is known by divine...

Yes, it would be a good idea to treat Patrick Madrid and Scott Hahn as individuals. I like Dave Armstrong, who refutes the book "Near to God, Far from Rome here. This is also interesting : A CASE STUDY IN CATHOLIC BASHING, More or Les Being an Exhaustive Refutation of the Biblical Bloopers...

Axehead. As you can see, I didn't make them up. Marksman did. I couldn't use the quote feature because it would exceed the maximum allowed, so I used colored font to make the distinction between the irrational hatred found way back on page 3 or 4 and my reply. It was most likely an over site on...

Come on, Axehead. You know that certain words in scripture can have more than one meaning. ROCK means cornerstone, which is Christ. I don't dispute that. Let me add to your list. 2 Sam. 22:2-3, 32, 47; 23:3; Psalm 18:2,31,46; 19:4; 28:1; 42:9; 62:2,6,7; 89:26; 94:22; 144:1-2 - in these verses...

I did misunderstand your intention, it was the premise of your analogy that I reacted to. I apologize. 2 Tim 3:16 has been the trump card for defending sola scriptua and it has turned out to be the joker. It is a metaphor to describe the harmony/complimentarity of Tradition, Scripture, and...

I don't worship a God that says I have to go to confession once a week. - Axehead I must go to confession if I feel separated from God. Monthly confession is a devotion that leads me to greater holiness. The minimum requirement is once a year. - Kepha It doesn't really matter to you how you...

It's not that he has to reject it, (I take that back) it's that he ends up ignoring 1Tim. 3:16 in favor of a more literal approach to the scriptures, just like all sola scripturists. See post #116 for the explanation. It's not a matter of doctrine, its a matter of sound biblical exegesis that...

Luther's life was never at risk. He played it up as one of his delusions, and anti-Catholic myth makers have been running with it ever since. He was invited to the Vatican to state his case, and refused to go. As far as Martin himself is concerned, O good God, what have we overlooked or not...

Good question, Br. James. Anyone who admits to being fallible has no right to bind anyone to any heresy or any false teaching. Axehead is not judging souls here, he is making himself authority over and above the three fold means of how Divine Revelation is presented to us, as St. Paul describes...

I couldn't agree more. But I could never agree with total depravity.

Luther was anything but normal. He was insane. Luther's god was an overbearing and abusive father who acted capriciously and violently in response to any minor infraction. Luther actually hated that god if you read his autobiographical material. This deity could only be placated by total...

Inviting the lonely geek who sits by himself in the lunchroom to sit with you might be a way of bearing his burdens. He needs friendship first before bible verses.

Error has no dignity except as a possible motivator to lead us to truth. But if we are not confronted in our error, how can we be motivated to move toward truth? St. Paul instructs us to judge: I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead,…...

Instead of bagging anothers church...maybe we should try to understand that church and not rely on heresay...seek out the truth, visit one a few times, try to understand we all worship the same God on here and try to show God's love toward another...being rude just makes another close off...

Let's compare the Mosaic law with the weightier matters of the law (which rests in the crucible of the law) Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, *justice*, *mercy*, and...
