The careers of Genghis Khan and his son, Ogotai, and their friendly relations to the Church of the East, belong more to the history of Asia as a whole. This story has already been told. The story of the three nephews of Ogotai — also emperors and conquerors; namely, Mangu, Kublai, and Hulagu —...

@APAK It is remarkable that in the time of Patrick, as later testimony from Alphonse Mingana will point out, there were large groups of Christians stretching all the way from the Euphrates to northwestern India. Furthermore, in 411, when Patrick was at the height of his work, the recognized...

Although there is a connection between the authority of the church and the trinity doctrine promulgated in the 4th century and beyond, I am loathe to discuss that on this thread as it will result in total derailment, and the present discussions on authority are important and interesting. I would...

And again, when He bringeth in THE FIRSTBEGOTTEN into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him (Heb 1:6) "Who is the image of the invisible God, THE FIRSTBORN of every creature (Col 1:15) "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the...

What is so illogical about that? It isn't a theory, it's what happened. And that's what I mean by your word games. Calling historical facts 'theories'. Unless of course you think Righteousness by faith is error as discovered by Luther. Or perhaps full immersion baptism is an error? Is prayer as...

Don't equate 'meats' with food. If something was unclean, it was never intended to be food. How come the above isn't a direct contradiction to your counsel just before? You must have a specific scripture in mind then if the entire Bibles message is, be moderate in all things. He didn't have...

Indeed. That's what scripture teaches. As well as a final destruction of the wicked, not ECT. As for the Godhead issue, I would take great care and much circumspection before coming down too hard on Protestantism for their variety of beliefs while you deny the Lordship, the Divinity, the Deity...

True. And what did those first disciples do with their new found faith? KJV Acts 2:5-11 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard...

I'm not playing these silly word games with you, where you continuously attempt to trick people into corners through lies and obfuscation.

Indeed. One church... One body... With many members. One of those members was the Papal church in Rome. One branch fell away from the true. Apostatised. Wrote it's own bill of divorce through rejecting her Husband and marrying the kings and queens of this world and trusting in them to sustain...

I think you do the original Protestant reformers a grave disservice in claiming they "struck out to become friends of the world'. I don't know from whence in your watchtower teachings such an idea came, but as the reformers began to study scripture for themselves and discover the numerous errors...

Further to the above... A distinction has long been recognized between the northern Italian peninsula and the central part, so that for more than one thousand years the bishoprics in northern Italy were called Italic, while those in central Italy were named Roman. Or, as Frederick Nolan says...

Very good. We seldom give consideration to the original lives that people lived prior to coming to Christ. We load up excuses for ourselves for not living up to the great light we have been blessed with, and the generations of print material and modern technology available to us to study...

I think it would be more accurate to say, rather than illegitimate, it wasn't Catholic. There were many church councils outside off Roman Catholic jurisdiction having no presence or papal approval. These were entirely legitimate. Jesus was of course right. Yet the church in Rome did fall, and...

I've been re-reading through this thread. Something occurred to me a page or two back, and your post here clinched what I was thinking. Counterfeiting is a massive business. It's one of the prime reasons governments and bankers are working to do away with cash using CBDCs. So while...

No. They aren't. If they were, they wouldn't be involving themselves in ecumenism, nor would they be signing formal agreements with Rome declaring that both they and Rome now agree on certain doctrinal matters which previously caused the division in the first place. Such as justification by faith.

Thank you.

Over 47 years ago at age 24, after too many years spent in quiet but determined refusal to acknowledge or consider God, His ways or His people, and imbibing in practices and substances and a lifestyle which pleased me well, but impinged greatly on other’s rights and freedoms, I was asked a...

We will all agree when we are all ready to die. When we are all ready to be humbled into the dust and accept that we know nothing as we ought. When we are no longer willing to take the easy safe road, rather than suffer a little while. When we cease to seek the favour of men, and jump around...

Protestants were so called and defined by their practise. Just as Christians are defined, not by anyone's self proclamation, but by their practise and lifestyle. Is someone a Catholic simply because they say so? Or is it because they've gone through various hoops, cut the red tape, and done all...
