It's not about the sins of a few. It's about the principles and philosophies of the institution. Justifying and mitigating the persecutions of a1000 years means that today's Catholic hierarchy still agree with the concept... As some of your members on this forum devoutly defend.

Actually I judge a church by the doctrines, the philosophy, and the dogmas it lives by. A union of church and state whereby the church utilizes the weapons and power of the state to implement and enforce ecclesiastical law is a heretical church. That goes for Catholic and protestant, and both...

There are many genuine Christians within the Catholic Church... Which means they are grafted into the original tree, and are counted as the children of God. This is no different to any denomination... Made up of tares and true grain. It is the true grain who being to God's church. Denominational...

No. Now added to homescreen.

So what is Romans 11:13-26 all about? Who are we grafted into?

@APAK I think this will interest you...

Which one? Daniel 7 or Daniel 8?

Not so much 'spiritual', but with religious components. Take for example the Ostrogoth nations, which were one of the original ten horns that grew from them remains of the Roman empire in the 5th century. They were evangelized by Wulfilas, and their history declares a remarkable change in...

Why do you doubt the testimony of others who declare their relationship with their God, and the grace shown them by the holy Spirit on communicating with them through the scriptures? I agree, ones own 'voice' , his own thoughts and ideas, must be in subjection to the Spirit... But is such a...

So who's the black dude portrayed here? Black Pete? Okay, just ribbin'. But seriously, I don't know if anyone actually worships the Pope, however I do wonder how healthy it is to encourage such adulation among the fanatical fan base everywhere. And besides, while the Catholic Church is...

Yes, you've answered succinctly and clearly. Unless we surrender to the authority of the Catholic Church, we are lost. Got it.

I have seen no evidence here of any anti-Catholic activity or speech. I, despite what you may think, have never been anti Catholic. Anti catholicism certainly, and with good reason. And I'm willing to give sound biblical support for my views of you are interested. Just don't write them off...

All true. The question remains, is your church His church? And if so, what evidence do you have to support that? I ask this because there is the "sure word of prophecy" that reveals otherwise.

Well, by their fruits ye shall know them.

The first beast of Revelation12 is a composite of those 4 beasts. A power that is independent from them, but inherited their attributes, character, and this explains why the prophecy says that despite being defeated, KJV Daniel 7:12 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their...

There's an aspect that needs to be recognized however. While I agree with you that the first 4 empires, Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece and Rome were earthly kingdoms, there are other powers/horns that grew from them, one of which considered itself a spiritual power by opposing even heaven...

I always find it highly amusing to be driving along minding my business, and lo, there's a kangaroo bouncing through the traffic lights. Or just sitting on the traffic island watching the cars go by. I was driving the school bus one morning and driving down a dead end street with a short "T"at...

So a heretic who once believed Jesus can keep him saved but now believes he is saved by his works, is still saved. So why did you start this thread again?

When I posted this my friend, it was to you, and I meant every word:) The other section was something you said to Barney, which he was quoting. Yeah, I know, it was a little confusing. But my initial statement stands.

If a genuine Christian is deceived and becomes a heretic, has he lost his salvation?
