    The Nature of God

    No, but the 2nd book I mentioned absolutely does.

    The Nature of God

    Thank you Stan for your graciousness and I apologize for all the times that I've been discourteous to you. I'm an incredibly sinful man and long for the day when I'm entirely free of this flesh. I also agree with the last comment and really have no great desire to look deeper into the topic...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    There's been numerous rebellions in the RCC. At one time there were even two popes, one in France and one in Rome. Some of the rebellions were just political assassinations. The story of Pope Fortunatis' murder and trial (after his murder) is one of the more infamous stories of Papal succession...

    Another horrendous story in the news

    True enough, but we had newspapers, television, wire services and telephones 50 years ago (when I was a kid) and the news of a major earth quake or volcanic eruption, or violent revolution, or murder spree was really NEWS, both rare and frightening. There was, however, domestic terrorism back...

    The Nature of God

    Some Free-Masons are as lazy in their study as most "Christians" are. My information is from their own books, but Free-Masons are inclined to disown authors when the things written tend to put them in a less honorable light; they are children of pride.

    The Nature of God

    The more faithful part of Israel were the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah (in that they continued in temple worship and didn't go after foreign gods until their leaders brought them in). They were taken into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, but the other 10 tribes had been removed...

    The Nature of God

    Jesus Christ. I received His Spirit at the age of 39 when I finally understood what the gospel actually is and entrusted Jesus with my salvation. I read scripture from the time I started in Catechism as a young child, but without being able to understand much at all, and when I received His...

    The Nature of God

    The reason that I believe Free-Masonry dates back to Rome or possibly earlier, is that some of the symbols that they use are of Roman and pre-Roman origin and I didn't arrive at this conclusion on my own, but encountered much of this information just by browsing Masonic web sites. One problem...

    The Nature of God

    I believe in God and I believe in His word and unlike many protestants I believe that the great whore of Babylon is free-masonry (or the ancient mystery of iniquity reflected in that name,) not the Catholic Church, though I recall Pope John Paul giving permission to Roman Catholics to join...

    The Nature of God

    Hi Tom, You don't have to change my mind about my belief in the "trinity" but you haven't explained what the "church" believes about the trinity other than its a mystery. It may be a mystery to the RCC, but it certainly isn't a mystery to the saints (at least not anymore.) There's nothing...

    The Nature of God

    Most people believe that this is intended for the priests, who were responsible for settling legal disputes and could invoke capital punishment for offenses that the rest of the world trivializes. There is a passage in the New Testament that discusses the way to handle weaker brothers (or...

    The Nature of God

    There is absolutely nothing that I've said or written (of a theological nature) here that is not supported by scripture except the nature of time itself which was not understood by the authors of scripture. I use website links for quick reference, but since the internet supplies far more...

    The Nature of God

    Well, according to the bible, the central mystery of the Christian faith is that God became a man: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received...

    The Nature of God

    Sorry David, but now you're off the reservation. You might be one of 12,000, though now that seems in question, but you aren't the Christ, and Jesus is the judge of all men. Take a deep breath and then give a justification for your statement. We are all called to discern truth, and in some cases...

    The Nature of God

    Hi Tom, you clearly haven't done much research upon free-Masonry, but why study a whore anyway? When you say that Trinitarian belief is not untrue you state a logical fallacy. That is, every form of Trinitarian belief would have to be true for your statement to be true. IF you want to qualify...

    The Nature of God

    Tom, if you find some decent writings about Free Masonry and the mystery religions (such as the worship of Osiris in Egypt, a murdered and resurrected god) you'll see that the Trinitarian idea of God didn't begin with Christ, but Jesus did tell us that all who came before (Him) were thieves and...

    The Nature of God

    Perhaps, but the "Split personality disorder" is an accurate description of some peoples' concept of the trinity. Please bear with me a moment for another long and not particularly interesting anecdote. I met a fellow, quite a few years ago, an elderly gentleman in a nursing home. While I was...

    We Need a HEROIC President—to save our (once Christian) nation

    Perhaps, but will our police look cool in storm trooper uniforms? Well, I guess the staties in NJ look okay, so why not?

    The Nature of God

    Another excellent post, if the personal information you gave the site is accurate, you are quite a scholar from your youth and share a name with the great king. That is an awesome responsibility, but handling the word of God always is. At least you must know of what tribe you are? I think that...
