Tell me...can you fully explain and describe God to me? Tell me about every part of him and his nature? I assume not, the reason being...our God is far beyond human understanding and knowing. Would you want a God you could fully know? If you, in your human, limited understanding, could fully...

So...if I'm reading you right, you're making the distinction between book (bible) and Word (Holy Spirit)? Because I don't necessarily disagree with you, I just think you don't need to categorically pull them apart so much. Don't you feel the Spirit while reading the truth of God's word? Doesn't...

Well...it's more of an "ipso facto" thing. The bible is a book (psst...books are full of words). The words are from God...some are right out of his mouth, or Jesus' mouth. Therefore, the Bible is God's word. Some guy might have told me this, but more likely I came to this startling conclusion...

Or chocolate! "Free chocolate if you follow me!". That could work. What people won't do for chocolate...or free stuff. People are a little stupid...

He might very well be. He might be a great guy and a good Christian. I just think that to take the seat that he did, he has to have a fundamental flaw in his understanding in what Jesus meant for the Church to be. In how he intended it to function, with the Spirit as helper, Christ as mediator...

Well, thanks for your honestly. But, considering that you think I'm part of the AC system, and that you are a part of the true Church....I think it would be appropriate at this point, before we go forward, for you to actually give us what it is that you believe. We know that you consider the...

What are the the foundational beliefs the Protestants have kept from Rome, if you don't mind me asking?

Well...I'd argue against that. I believe Catholics claims that the Pope, when he speaks "ex cathedra", he is speaking as the supreme pastor and teacher of the Universal Church...he is defining doctrines regarding faith and morals...and is, in this role, infallible. So...You can call it "ex...

Come, now, that's just nit-picking, isn't it? You think the RCC is the Antichrist system. You think it's fingers are reaching into the Protestant denominations which are also spreading it's false doctrines. Therefore if I belong to one of those denominations it becomes a fine line between being...

Oh, I get it. So if I don't belong to whatever it is that you do, then I'm part of the Antichrist system. So...which particular cult do you belong to? You've just outright admitted you don't belong to any of the Orthodox Churches. That leaves...well...the cults. JW's? SDA? Mormons? Well, you...

Snort! Sorry about that! It's just that sometimes it's hard to know what your point is, or if you're even talking to me...or the other person, or if you're for the point, or against it! It's so hard to get the idea when it's only a single sentence! So...I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I follow you...

Actually, I agree with you, mostly, here. While I think there will be a final manifestation of the AC, I don't know that I think it has to be an individual person. In fact, the more we understand about how utterly implausible it seems that all people will be able to unite under a single person...

Ok. Pretend like I didn't understand anything you just said....

Ah, bbyrd009 and your one sentence remarks that are vague in the extreme. I wonder if you do it deliberately or if you're just a very succinct thinker! So...I'm not really sure if you're talki Um...am I worshiping the Pope, or the Roman Catholic 'system'? So...don't think I am deceived...

I think there are many 'antichirst' (little a)...always have been, always will be. There will always be those who oppose God and his Christ. But I do think scripture gives evidence for a final one, a final appearance of that spirit of hate and rebellion against God. Who knows if it will be a...

Well...let's be perfectly open here. Many of the Protestant faiths of old have apostatized in these days. Allowing homosexual pastors to teach the flock is a blatant disregard for scripture and the truth it teaches. I think they mean well. And before you get angry at that, listen (because I'm...

Does it need to join up with the Papacy? Or are we still talking about the ultimate end time system/Antichrist here? I suppose, really, the sort of people who use the gospel of Jesus to make money won't really care what banner they stand behind to do it. If the Antichrist turns out to be the, or...

Agreed. There is a lot in Protestantism that I heartily disagree with...I don't just want to waggle a finger at the RCC. And I think that the fact that the Antichrist is said to "take a seat in the temple of God"...where the 'temple of God' is most often referring to the Church in the NT...

This is such a 'hot' topic, and by posting my opinion, I hope I don't offend or hurt. But the OP did raise a fairly decent point. How can we...even those calling themselves Catholics, look at pictures of the Pope, seated as he is on his throne, and not wonder at it? Where does he, and the higher...

I remember hearing a Pastor who lived over in the American "bible belt" once say that the hardest crowd to reach was often those already in the pews. Too many who thought they already were 'saved' and therefore didn't need anything else...especially to know Jesus better. Makes you realize that...
