Come on! Where Pope Francis goes, everyone in the Catholic church goes!

What!! The Hebrew Old Testament came from the Catholic church?? Oh dear!! The canon of the Old Testament was already settled before the Christian church came into being. Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint as the authority for the preaching of the gospel. The canon of the New Testament...

So, have you done that - asked a thousand Protestant pastors for their interpretation of the NT? If so, I would love to see your results!

The cross wasn't a plan B. That would suggest that the fall was unexpected and God went into a panic and put an emergency plan into place. I don't think that God is like that. Because He exists out of time, He sees everything with an eternal view, so He can see the past, present and future at...

Sometimes when I look in the mirror I look like a desiccated old goat so where does that place me? :D

As I said before, it doesn't matter how much logic and evidence I produce, you will still argue against it, because you are dogmatically holding your view and will defend it to the max. That's understandable. Darwin did not know about the animals in Australia or New Zealand or in any other...

We have to remember that Jesus was preparing the Jews for the gospel that was going to be preached after His crucifixion and resurrection. Paul is not preaching another gospel. Jesus told His disciples that everything they needed to know could not be told to them at that time, but the Holy...

I love it! :p:p

The fact is that Darwin's research is flawed. Out of all the species discovered around the world to date, Darwin knew of only 15% of them. Therefore his statistical population was not sufficient for his theory to be reliable, and in fact, many scientists opposed him at the time. Natural...

Possibly. In NZ we might not have the same issues. However as a 72 year old, when we all go into lockdown on Wednesday night I will feel a lot safer. No cases of coronavirus have been discovered in Christchurch yet, and I hope it stays that way. Most of the cases are in our North Island, so...

We don't have that in our New Zealand schools. Science teaching is well-founded in the evolution side and creation science is suppressed. Most high schools in New Zealand just won't hire a creation science teacher. The set curriculum is evolution-based, and a science teacher would be fired...

My world view involves a real and living God who is a talking God who has given us a historical record of how he created the universe and our world. I chose to take His word than the word of man, especially those of atheists who dogmatically leave God out of their theories. Reading any...

"1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he...

This is because the church has failed to teach the young people about why Genesis 1 is true, with creation scientists providing substantive evidence from geology and genetics to offset the influentual guesswork that these young people have been brainwashed with the science teaching in their...

Actually, all the animals, including the dinosaurs, which were around with Adam and right up to the Flood, were vegetarians. This is why Adam and Eve and their offspring were not eaten by the dinosaurs for lunch!

The restriction on eating certain types of food, including pork, was abolished when the curtain of the Jewish Temple was ripped from top to bottom, ushering in the New Covenant based on grace and not on Law. The restriction on eating pork was a restriction for the Jews, and for many Jews it...

We have to realise that this is just opinion from one person.

It was the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul that "therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God" was first stated.

The problem with this statement for one has to be elected before God can exercise mercy, is that a person can believe the gospel, receive Christ as Saviour and yet not be elected. This means that the promises about believing that Jesus is the Son of God and that He rose from the dead are...

Yes. It did give rise to a major division in the Protestant church. No doubt about it.
