    How to defend the trinity?

    You don't understand that as you ignore the truth being taught you by other Christians, you will have to answer to God why you ignored these scriptures you yourself quoted demanding of others that they listen to you. Because those scriptures apply to every child of God who believes in Christ and...

    Jesus Second Coming

    So the fleshly person of Jesus is omnipresent? Do you not discriminate (in a good sense) between Father, Son, and Spirit? Is it the one God of the trinity you believe is omnipresent, or are each individual persons each omnipresent?

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    If that abject ignorance of faith was on the part of the Catholic Church, I would agree. It was the abject ignorance and distaste of a priest for anyone becoming converted that convinced me the church was wanting.

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Amen. Have accepted and taught that for many years now. Didn't always though. I was once a dispensationalist who thought the nation was still the apple of God's eye. While I do believe that individual Israelis... Or Jews... Have a distinct advantage when they come to Christ, being grafted into...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    I would suggest that only Israel is saved. Then it's easy to understand why, and how, all Israel is saved.

    "Please Report Heresy"

    Forgiveness is absolutely a tenet of faith. And Matthew 5:16 doesn't need interpreting. But I still don't believe it is my place to forgive an institution such as the papacy for crimes committed against others. She doesn't owe me an apology, and therefore I cannot forgive any debt to me as...

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    That she just happened to agree with every historian of the dark ages that the church persecuted dissenters/heretics (in the church's opinion) seems to have passed your notice. Even your own church as policy boasted of having the sword of the secular arm to use at the church's disposal. You...

    "Please Report Heresy"

    Yes. Exactly my point. Some of those records are all that remains of the existence of those people who today the Vatican calls heretics. Exposing previously unknown crimes would have them apologizing for centuries. And no. There is no reason whatsoever why I or anyone else can, or needs to...

    Biblical Mary

    Not something I'm familiar with. neither of the above two comments of yours are worth responding to.

    "Please Report Heresy"

    That would be suicidal. If they were to release everything they had, in order to preserve their own survival most of it would have to be redacted.

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Never mind. Didn't think you would understand and it was silly of me to attempt to offer you a different perspective than what you have settled on and determined to cleave to. All I ask is you consider this... KJV Leviticus 26:33-35 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out...

    Biblical Mary

    She was absolutely blessed. No doubt about that. However, the Catholic meaning of blessed is very different to how I understand it. Is she my mother? No. Nor am I required to acknowledge her as such, except you force your extra-biblical Catholic dogma upon me.

    Biblical Mary

    No, I'm not taking Jerome's word for Helvidius' so called heresies. Helvidius rebuked Jerome on several occasions for using corrupt manuscripts in his vulgate translation, Jerome was a known ego driven mean and abusive person who threw down on anyone be disagreed with using invective and a...

    Biblical Mary

    Hahaha. You are so predictable. A real live woke Catholic. Someone disagrees with you... They're anti Mary. Lol. Next you'll be calling them Maryphobic. Haha

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    And passed anathemas on any who happened to disagree with those definitions, encouraging, and sometimes blackmailing secular rulers to murder those dissenters. That was the Catholic loving way of preaching the gospel to all the world.

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    No, the Bible does not produce differing sects all teaching errors. Those who read the Bible but don't believe what it says, teach errors. By the way, can you please name all those 30,000 Bible based sects?

    Biblical Mary

    Can you direct me to the writings of Helvidius where he claims those statements against Mary. In other words, please prove he was a heretic.

    The problem with the Bible alone!

    If the Bible had been believed, there would never have been the necessity for unbelieving councils to offer divergent opinions on certain truths they couldn't understand.

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Hahaha. Have you visited the photo thread recently? And the avatar is only a temporary arrangement until after the end of the All Black rugby season. No, the birds are still around... The back yard magpies have babies up in a tree about 50 meters away...a pair of Crows have moved into the front...
