    Bible alone!

    You know when you are wrong. Your conscience informs you if you are listening. If two people claim to have the truth but disagree, obviously one is wrong, and needs to learn. No condemnation of course. People can be mistaken. And that includes popes and Cardinals and bishops and councils. No...

    Why do Catholics adore, worship and deify Mary so much?

    Idolatry isn't just about stone statues. Whatever you place above God in importance, priority, or affection and attention, become an idol. Sport and/or players. Music and/or "stars'. Earthly kingdoms and politics above the kingdom of God. The list is endless. KJV Mark 12:30 30 And thou shalt...

As the scriptures say, lovers of themselves more than lovers of God. And in America, I see Christians pinning their materialistic selfish hopes...

    Have you ever had that experience @theefaith ? Have you met Jesus and experienced the reality of His presence in your life? Have you heard Him speaking to you individually, revealing Himself through His scriptures and granting you the assurance of salvation and eternal life?

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Many Muslims have genuine hearts toward God. They are serious in their worship, and more committed to Allah than many Christian vs are to Jesus. So God is granting them dreams. A man in a white robe leading them to Himself, Isa Al-Masih Amy the Injil, the gospel. 7

    KJV Isaiah 55:6-11 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my...

    Bible alone!

    I agree. But tradition that contradicts and opposes scripture is not apostolic, it is of man's devising. By the same Spirit that inspired scripture. By the same Spirit that inspired scripture Keep it out of the hands of Catholic apologists and self proclaimed textual critics. The same Spirit...

    Strange Happenings and Unusual Occurrences

    In your area I would venture that a full orchestra of frogs suggests either that there are no snakes, (I don't really believe that) or that there are so many frogs the orchestra's numbers are readily repleted without any loss of sound quality?

    Wars and Rumors

    40 minutes of truth....40 minutes of heartache...40 minutes of education....making Jesus' words "ye cannot love God and mammon" all the more poignant; and the angel's call "to come out of her my people" (Revel 18:1-5) all the more urgent. The world's system of governance- political, financial...

    KJV Mark 7:7-13 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the...
