Good Morning keithr, Awesome....we agree! Christian theology (teachings, doctrines) has changed, or evolved, over the years! Heck, for 300 years Christians disagreed on what Scripture was (the books of the Bible) until The Church decided via the various Councils. Also, we agree that "some had...

Hi post, I love history and have never heard that the Catholic Church used to burn people for teaching the 10 commandments. Where did you learn this? Mary

Hi Addy. This forum has plenty of strife without any Catholic involving themselves in the discussion. Furthermore, there are members of other denominations on this forum. Why did you not accuse them of causing strife? Curious Mary

Hi David, At the Last Supper Jesus said “Do this in remembrance of me”. Do you? Jesus also said we must eat his body and drink his blood. Do you? If you don’t obey those commands by Jesus, will you be saved? Curious Mary

Hi thefaith. I get the gist of your point but I have to disagree with you a little bit. Fundamentalists actually do believe in authority. They believe THEY have the authority to interpret Scripture because Scripture tells them they do (John 16:13). They also believe in...for a lack of better...

Hi Wrangler, How does Luke 10:16 and John 20:23 and the Council of Jerusalem fit into your teaching? Mary

So your theory is that Constantine brought together all the leaders of Christian churches scattered throughout the known world in the year 313AD, forced them to agree upon doctrine/theology and whola’.....the Catholic Church was born? Wouldn’t the Christian revolution/rebellion in the 16th...

So let me see if I understand you correctly Barney. You “don’t trust” what is written in the Didache (written in the time of the Apostles) by Christian men of the 1st century but you do trust what is written by Christian men in the 21st century 2,000 years removed from the time of the Apostles...

Good point thefaith. I guess we CAN’T rely on the Bible alone according to @keithr

Hmmmmm.....Only one verse or sentence in Matthew has been changed? Is it possible that theology has changed over the years? I agree with you that in the early Church some baptized in the name of Jesus only and others used the trinitarian method. Wouldn’t that mean there was a change in theology...

Hi BroRando, When one is Baptized using the Trinitarian method it IS done in the name of Jesus Christ. “Baptize all in the name of the Father, SON and Holy Spirit”. They are three in one. Who taught you to separate them? John 14:10 Curious Mary

You are right. You didn’t say that it was corrupted hundreds of years after Nicaea. I knew in my head you didn’t say that but for some reason I unintentionally typed that in my post and I apologize. You have me so confused. You believe that every Greek copy of Matthew we have has been copied...

Thank you for the clarification on preserved books of the Bible ...it was helpful. I apologize. I somehow missed that link you provided earlier. I have to run some errands but will look at it later and get back with you. Mary

Thank you. I don’t understand how the earliest Christian historical writings from the 1st and 2nd century say baptize in the name of the Father, Son Holy Spirit AND Scripture says baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit AND every handwritten and printed Greek text contains the...

Thank you. If, as you say, all of the Bible has been preserved then how is Matthew 28:19 corrupt? If that verse is corrupt then what other verses are corrupt? No, I can’t find it on the internet. Would you provide me a link...Please? Thank you. Thank you for the keithr clarification!

It is true that you didn’t quote from those passages and they were brought up by other contributors. I was simply asking you if you agree that the summary by others of page 263 in the Catholic Encyclopedia is an opinion. I didn’t allege that you were using that source in your original post. You...

Thank you. I’m even more confused now. Earlier you said the fact that it still exists shows that God wants it preserved but now you are saying that you don’t think it still exists? Can you see why I’m confused? Also I don’t understand is if God wants it preserved, what is he waiting for? Why...

Thank you. I agree. It is clearly not there. Would it be fair to say that your “summary or implication from those pages“ is really just an opinion since what is being alleged is clearly not there? Also, since you are using Encyclopedia Brittanica as a source to validate our beliefs, did you...

Hi keither, You said “that the Catholic Church has willingly lied about Matthew 28:19” and “in general lied to the world”. As @Mungo pointed out in post #3 the writer(s) of The Didache along with Turtulion, Origan and Cyprian all affirm “baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit”...

Hi keither, I am trying to figure out what you mean when you said; “It was known by the Catholic Church that the Jews had preserved a copy of the original Gospel of Matthew in the Hebrew language. The fact that it exists is proof that God wanted it preserved.” Where is this original copy of...
