    KJV Deuteronomy 4:13 13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

    KJV Revelation 14:12 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. They were Waldensians, but happened to live in and around the city of Albi. The Waldensians were Christians yes, notwithstanding the lies and slanders heaped upon...

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    Yet you deny He is truly the Son of God by insisting He was created, rather than the cause and beginning of creation as described in scripture. Begotten does not mean created.

    Why do Catholics…

    Ignatius, as you mentioned, lived contemporaneously with John and the other apostles. We cannot know for sure, but he very likely may have either escaped Jerusalem before it's destruction in 70ad with the rest of the church, who fled to Antioch, Pella, and Decapolis, establishing churches there...

    Hi from New Zealand

    Yes, been in Melbourne for not quite 6 years. One reason I came here was for the warmth, he says as he shivers and has to edit message.

    Hi from New Zealand

    Hi Chris.. I came to your house and spent some time with you and your wife in Putararu when you were running Loaves and Fishes. Many years ago. Welcome.

    Hunger and thirst for righteousness, and be filled.... Don't worry about tomorrow... Come into Me all ye that labor, and I will give you rest... KJV Revelation 3:17-18 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art...

    Prophecy, specifically... KJV Daniel 7:25 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. ... Informs us that there...

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    God said a human sacrifice was sufficient to redeem mankind? Why then go to the bother of sending what you believe was an angel to accomplish that? Why not Abraham, or Moses, or David, or Job, or Noah, Elijah, or Zechariah?

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    Yes He is. And He sits on a throne. KJV John 5:36-39 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne...

    Biblical insights please?

    Well, I think that's debatable. I think from one perspective he's actually a breath of fresh air. He's an example of old school catholicism... I liken him to a resurrected inquisitor from the 13th century with an advanced degree on Trent philosophy that he channeled through a 16th century saint...

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    Indeed, that was the eternal sacrifice that the Father made... Never again will the Son be as He was begotten before the creation of the world.

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    There is a whole farm of straw men here which you have resorted to in order to defend just one point of belief. They are unnecessary and superfluous to the discussion. For example, no-one is arguing about the nature of Christ before the incarnation. No-one of arguing that He gave his life to...

    That description by John doesn't seem to be much like that of a spirit does it.

    Biblical insights please?

    Except that @theefaith believes that only his church and the priests thereof have the authority to teach what those Commandments mean. If you read scripture, and you conclude from your reading and prayers that the Spirit is informing you too obey God's Commandments a certain way, which happens...

    Religious Liberty!

    Oh, and the second point... God's kingdom isn't of this world. Jesus will establish His kingdom Himself when He recreates the new heaven and the new earth. That will be when the meek will receive the promise of their inheritance. Until then, God is creating a people who worship Him in Spirit and...

    Religious Liberty!

    Most of Europe was Catholic yes. Christian, no. There were pockets of Christians who had kept the faith, but they were in the wilderness, persecuted and constantly harassed and either dispossessed of land and houses, or killed. Throughout the 1260 years of papal supremacy from the 6th century...

    Religious Liberty!

    There you go. The problem though is that the doctrines and dogmas and practises that you would promote as being enforced in a so called "Christian kingdom" fails in 2 major points. First, the doctrines aren't Christian. They are most certainly Catholic, but Catholics throughout history have...

    What does being born again mean?

    What does being born again mean? KJV Revelation 3:20 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me . KJV John 1:12-13 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons...

    Which is why we should be grateful to him for his honesty. None of the other Catholics here have been so frank about their church's true character. Now all we need is for those protestants here who believe a union and agreement with catholicism in effecting a combined political response to the...
