    Spotting Heretics

    Being liberal or conservative is irrelevant with Jesuits. Jesuits play their own games, often having people on both divides simply to foment conflict. There will possibly be Jesuits working as lobbyists in government, some democrat and some republican. Have you ever heard of the Hegelian...

    Spotting Heretics

    Great question. But are they really the best? Or simply deluded souls who have become disillusioned with the present malaise that permeates the modern church worldwide and are seeking a more meaningful religious experience, and have chosen catholicism from an ignorance of other valid options?

    Spotting Heretics

    The fact that the Jesuits were banned at one time or another from nearly every country in the planet, and even at one time by the Vatican itself, suggests some deeper things going on within their organization than what is publicly published.

    Spotting Heretics

    Has not God said He would give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? And is not this Spirit a real, true actual guide? Some men seem afraid to take God at His word, as though it would be presumption in them. They pray for the Lord to teach us and yet are afraid to credit the pledged word of God...

    Spotting Heretics

    Any outward physical suffering of the Christian will not and cannot be meet with joy and peace in the presence of the holy Spirit without first dying to self spiritually. The real suffering that Paul y'all's about that is redemptive is the denial... Life long denial... Of the will of the old...

    The phoniness of Catholicism

    Anti Catholic bigotry. An ongoing accusation against many on this forum. If such a practise were true, I would be among the first to object. Bigotry, and personal attacks against individual Catholics ought to find no place in any of our discussions and debates. However, labeling the criticism...

    A Simple Yet Irrefutable Reason The Catholic church Is Not Rooted In Christ's Church

    Haha. How did I know you would respond with this classic example of evasiveness. Oh, he was just writing his personal opinion, he says. Oh, he wasn't quoting from the patristic wisdom of the church, that's just you're opinion. Haha. And not one comment on the actual quotes themselves, from...

    Spotting Heretics

    What you have written is true in part. The true part is that truth cannot be imposed. However, to present such a concept as this as an historical philosophical teaching of catholicism is nonsense, and a classic example of the twisting and misrepresentation of history you accuse others of. The...

    The old testament sanctuary was a symbol of Christ. It was holy. Made holy by the presence of God within it.

    Spotting Heretics

    The reason many Catholic errors remain within protestant denominations is they didn't protest enough. Instead of getting on with the job and continuing on the road to true reformation, one very essential Catholic concept which they inherited guaranteed they remain bound. That error was the idea...

    A Simple Yet Irrefutable Reason The Catholic church Is Not Rooted In Christ's Church

    St. Alphonsus di Liguori lived in the 17th century. 22 volumes of his work have been published. He was canonized as a saint by Pope Gregory XIV in 1839 and was declared a doctor of the church by Pope Pius IX. He is one of the 32 doctors of the church whose writings are especially trustworthy...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    Exactly my point. No different from the Catholic Church baptizing the pagan Sunday and passing it off as sacred to a gullible protestant offspring.

    A Simple Yet Irrefutable Reason The Catholic church Is Not Rooted In Christ's Church

    KJV Malachi 1:11 11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. Can't help...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    It's a sad indictment against modern Christianity that one of the most popular discussion points on a Christian forum is focused on enhancing ones personal appearance, and justifying it by baptizing it and calling it a Christian virtue.

    What Catholic perversion was that quote from?

    A Simple Yet Irrefutable Reason The Catholic church Is Not Rooted In Christ's Church

    Didn't you say not long ago that the Trinity was not found in scripture but was based on "sacred tradition"? I'm confused. I agree that the Trinity isn't taught in explicitly scripture, but is the result of man's assumptions regarding what scripture teaches. You can call that sacred if you like...

    A Simple Yet Irrefutable Reason The Catholic church Is Not Rooted In Christ's Church

    It's quite ironic isn't it. And hypocritical. They were screeds of nonsense justifying so called "sacred tradition", then attempt to justify Sunday using scripture lol.

    Spotting Heretics

    Continuing.... Mary the Rival of Jesus. “But God was pleased that Mary should in all things resemble Jesus; and as her Son died, it was becoming that the mother should also die.” Liguori, p. 407. This is the fundamental leap of logic that the Roman Catholic Church employs. They use...

    Continuing.... First, let us see if the Bible itself presents this substitution concept in the form of deception and false worship even. Dragon/Satan. His place in heaven (Rev 12:3,7,8.) He has a throne. (Rev 13:2, 2:13) Gives throne, power, and authority to sea-beast. (13:2,4.) He is...
