    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Yes, God commanded men to make images. And when men made those images commanded by God, they did not worship them, they only held them in high esteem. Since they did not worship those man-made images, they did not violate Exodus 20. Making of an image is not a violation of...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Yup, there were problems with division/disagreements (1 Corinthians 11:18, 1 Corinthians 1:10, Council at Jerusalem etc) in Christianity while the Apostles were alive. That was the reason for some of the Apostolic letters that today we call Scripture! I agree with you that the...

    Lol...It wasn't imported to Rome "to be set up in a holy place". It was an uninscribed rock that was imported to Rome to be set up in a garden or circus for secular a secular purpose. 1,500 years later it was turned into a Christian monument to Christ. You are getting upset over a lie that...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Faith without works is dead. That means we are judged by BOTH...not one or the other. If you have faith but no works you are dead. If you have works but no faith in Him you are dead. If you have faith AND works....Halleluiah!

    To be or not to be Catholic

    Hello, So your opinion is that there are no work requirements. What do you make of James 2:17? Also, it seems that you are saying that the Holy Spirit guided you to the truth "on this Catholic sacrifice" but you intend to keep it to yourself. If you honestly believe that the Spirit is...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hey Jane, Your men have lied to you: Pinchas E. Lapide, in his book, Three Popes and the Jews (New York: Hawthorn Books, Inc., 1967) critically examines Pope Pius XII. According to his research, the Catholic Church under Pius XII was instrumental in saving 860,000 Jews from Nazi death...

    Hey Jane, You should do better research. It was built in Egypt and moved from there to Rome in 37 AD. It was moved from its original spot, the gardens of Gaius Caligula, about 4 miles to the Vatican in 1586. It had no inscriptions on it when brought from Egypt.

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hey Jane, I would love to teach you your Christian history! The obelisk was brought to Rome by Gaius Caligula in 37 AD. At the time it was the largest non-inscribed obelisk to leave Egypt. It was moved from it's original spot, about 4 miles, to the Vatican in 1586. The east and west...

    Hey Cassandra, Would you agree that the 1st century Christians, who were living during the time Scriptures were written, would have gotten it right when it comes to Saturday or Sunday worship? Curious Mary

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hello Jane, You have made it clear that The Catholic Church is "off the path to life" with its teachings/doctrines which means that the men of The Catholic Church do NOT "know what Jesus and his apostles taught" and are teaching "lies". What current denominational church or man do you...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hello Jane, The first known halo used in Christian art is from the late 3rd early 4th century. It is believed to be Christ depicted with a halo. This artwork is in a Christian tomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Julii So let me see if I have your opinion correct: The intent of...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Hi Jane, Yup...I "know that the origin of those halos have nothing to do with the Bible"!! That was implied when I said, "ancient Christian art used 'halos' (what appears to be the sun behind the head) to depict important Christians, not just Christ, in their painting!!! What about...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    Lol....people were persecuted for not accepting creeds? Where is your historical evidence for that? ;) Did you know that The Bible contains a number of creed-like passages? The word creed comes from the Latin word credo, meaning, “I believe.” A creed is a brief statement of faith used to list...

    False Teaching: Mary died a virgin. Biblical Proof Mary had children.

    You have it backwards Titus. Via Scripture and ancient historical Christian writings, it was "proven" that Mary was a virgin until death. It wasn't until 1,600 years AFTER the death of Christ that some uninspired men who fell away from The Church refuted that teaching and lied to the flock...

    False Teaching: Mary died a virgin. Biblical Proof Mary had children.

    That is a beautiful statue to recognize and respect The Mother of God. I am willing to bet it made Jesus happy that men were building a statue to honor her. Where is that at?
