    What is the one true Church?

    I understand how some interpret Revelation as talking about the Catholic Church and it fuels the hate in Christianity. A lot of bad feelings between the Catholic Church and Protestants and others.... But you do not want to turn Christianity into a religion of hate. Hate fuels Satan and brings...

    What is the one true Church?

    You have demonstrated a health dose of denial throughout the form. Your understanding of the Catholic Church exists as a fantasy between your ears. You cannot change the past and you are not going to change the perceptions ….for right now….so concentrate on blazing a good path for the future...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Greco-Roman god Hades.....in Hades.

    What is the one true Church?

    Suggestions for the Catholic Church for the future of the Catholic Church As it sits the Catholic Church is poised for greatness, they just need to take the next step in the right direction…. It has the membership…..larger than all the Protestant denominations combined. It has the Physical...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Back in the day I called this Essay “The fate of the Hebrew scriptures” At the close of the Hebrew texts the Jews find themselves under, more or less the friendly rule of the Persians after they had conquered the Babylonians. At this point the Hebrew texts are in the process of being modified...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    It is not really a correction. The Septuagint was a Greek translation....so the word was available. But putting Hades in a Hebrew text is an incorrect translation because the Jews did not have a god named Hades nor did they know of a spirit prison named Hades.....and using hades as an equivalent...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    No I am exactly right. And correction the scriptures are the Word of God. The Bible is man's translation of that. Don't tell me you are another one that thinks the KJV is a God!

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Good questions….Just the facts man! Hell and Hades….are not mentioned in the Old Testament for a very good reason. If you have a Bible with these words in the Old Testament….buy another Bible The word Hell does not appear in the Old or New Testament, because the word did not exist in the any...

    What is the one true Church?

    Yep he flew there in a 747 and they all greeted him and hailed him as Pope Thomas and he took them all out to McDonald's and had Happy Meals and afterwards he baptized them in a jacuzzi. LOL Never ask Catholics about history!

    What is the one true Church?

    I believe in inner peace....but carry a big stick. Ex-military. Pacifistic theology is unique. And I think they believe that total Christian annihilation would be like the second coming of Christ. It could have happened in the 4th century, because that was the Roman intent. The United States...

    What is the one true Church?

    Part of understanding history is understanding the time period. The biblical era was crazy violent and it did not get much better after that. Cities smelled like sewers and death. No real pain killers so the moans of cries of people sick and dying could usually be heard....people died along side...

    No harm no foul....

    What is the one true Church?

    Some of this is apples and oranges. The Church is never named in the Bible. Which is one of the reason that people have room to insert arbitrary names. Christ teaching produced The Way and the term Christian. We could definitely call these the first church or congregations. But even in the...

    What is the one true Church?

    Just to make myself clear here.... I fully support the Catholic Church's decision to take back Jerusalem. In fact I believe they should have employed Yahweh's rules of war.....kill all that breaths and take the spoils of war and take custody of their cities. If we would have done that we would...

    What is the one true Church?

    The Pope's call for a crusade in Middle East to take back Jerusalem. On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II makes perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a...

    What is the one true Church?

    The joke is on you......you need to do a study on Koine Greek. If someone was reading the Bible from the Koine Greek perspective he would be very confused. LOL Persons, places, and things are translated one way....and the rest LOL you better understand what the topic was about from the...

    What is the one true Church?

    The concept of Christianity being universal came about early when salvation was opened up....offered to the world. Then there was nothing wrong with a Church naming itself after that concept. But when they try to get people to believe that the Church is as old as when the concept was first...

    What is the one true Church?

    Ya a lot times people refer to the varies churches as denominations....what cha going to call them?......a special designation. As far as Christ founding the Catholic Church....we would not be in this thread if he founded a Church by name....giving His stamp of approval... wouldn't that make...

    What is the one true Church?

    Yes there was......but not too many English words in them. It appears that you have trouble comprehending time periods and how history moves through them. Because you keep making one mistake after another.
