    I would then allow AI to inform said "professor" of the truth. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/can-you-summarize-the-waldensi-Tz6JN55aTN.7U_cmCvNE0g I would also mention that while the common held belief that Waldo was the genesis for the Waldensian movement, I would disagree and p point...

    How many former Catholics are here?

    True. Jesus didn't leave a book. He left His word, which is of infinite authority far and above your church's word, it's councils, and decrees. Wrong. The Catholic Church became an offshoot when it aligned herself in an adulterous relationship with the kings of this world.

    How many former Catholics are here?

    Acts of mercy and love are the law, weightier than the minutae often proposed by many as examples of Jesus "breaking" the Sabbath. He did no such thing. He and the disciples picked grains of corn because they were hungry. The Pharisees in their hypocritical legalism placed their interpretations...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Just posted this on another thread... https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/when-does-jesus-judge-is-the-second-coming-judgement-day.73565/post-2182364

    When does Jesus judge? Is the second coming Judgement day?

    Throughout Scripture, there is the idea that God is just. He is a just judge. We n need to think about the judgement in the way we think about our own court systems. There are parallel concepts common to both the worldly system and the spiritual. First, there the judge, who is the final arbiter...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Do you not know those references concerning many who claim they are Jews, but are not? What church do they belong to?

    ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR US?

    The thing everyone is missing is the holiness of the day. Made holy before sin, and mandated to be kept holy by those to whom it was given... That is mankind. It is still holy. Not holy in and of itself, but holy because of the blessing placed upon it, and the presence of God within it...

    ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR US?

    The church is the true Israel. The nation and/or any other institution or group claiming to be such are liars. “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I...

    ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR US?

    Paul didn't have to command anyone to keep the Sabbath. The authority of God Himself speaking from Mount Sinai was sufficient. That God chose to write it down on stone with His own finger testifies to its immutability. Sabbath observance by Israel had been practised since time immemorial, and...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    For our God is a consuming fire. ” Hebrews 12:29 KJV Is not God also eternal? What is eternal by nature other than God Himself? Certainly not mortal man. Not even angels. But surely that which is touched by that fire is consumed, yet the fire itself remains. There is however the following...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Two things. First, Jesus did not need Judas in order that He could die. Jesus could have died of old age in His bed and your redemption be just as secure. Second, Satan enters only those who welcome him. He cannot do anything in your life except you open the door. Judas was absolutely...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    QUOTE....The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas. I disagree. Easy to love someone who persecuted someone else. Try loving someone who's persecuting you.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I think what brought Nicene Christianity to life in the first place was a Roman emperor who wanted peace regardless biblical truth, and a church that welcomed political power at the cost of spiritual power, and was willing to go to war to defend it. As I mentioned previously, the Aryan nations...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Here is the personal testimony and declaration of faith of the apostle and missionary to the Goths during the time of the controversies between Arius and the church, and before the formulas that became standard requirements for membership of the orthodoxy. This man is as close to biblical...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    I think you mean before time was measured. Surely you aren't suggesting that in eternity there is no past, present, or future? Didn't God plan creation, consider all the ramifications of Lucifer rebellion, and go ahead anyway? Isn't that a plan for the future of mankind, knowing the future and...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    And they ignore the resurrection, which in NT biblical times was exalted as the Christians' great hope. Now it's the rapture or immediate trip to heaven or hell at death, none of which makes any sense whatsoever.
