    Clever. I didn't say that these men were not important and influential voices in their churches and later in their writings (as commentaries to reference. All I said was, I didn't need to learn from them when the Bible alone is sufficient. The Word of God is trustworthy. Outside commentary -...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Several churches in the first century went off the rails - it was no different than today! Keep in mind the Seven letters to the First Century Churches. Two were righteous and Jesus did not rebuke them, Philadelphia and Smyrna. Ephesus was an orthodox church with good doctrine, but forgot their...

    I think the Catholic Church made their first mistake when they misunderstood Jesus when He said, "On this rock I will build my church." The context clearing points to Jesus referring to Himself. They identified Him as the Son of God. He is the cornerstone. He is the Rock of our salvation. It...

    Actually I read that life was created very quickly and finished within a few 24 hour days and on the 7th day, God said it was good. He didn't say, He started things out with simple life forms and they developed into more complex forms after hundreds of millions of years. Good, I guess tha...

    Commentaries outside of the Bible are helpful, but scripture tells us what the first century and every century was to believe and follow. " Deranged hatred?"Your accusation is wrong and offensive to me. You do not know me. In my post, I claimed that I value Catholics as my brothers and sisters...

    Good! But you must wonder the path of faith and salvation came through a Protestant denomination, and God ordained it, then how can they claim a separation? The Church IS a THE BODY OF CHRIST. WE ARE IN CHRIST. THOSE IN CHRIST ARE NOT SEPARATED FROM EACHOTHER. The answer to this division is...

    Give them a break, there is forgiveness or haven't you picked up on Jesus' teaching on that? God forgave those who repented and judged those who didn't. Who are you to judge?

    The supernatural power of God to create something I'm an instant, finished is not magic. No, God is not a magician. Magicians don't perform miracles, what they do is what appears to be real but is not, it's slight of hand. Botanically were created on the third, a 24 hour day. Man was created and...

    Tragedies and injustices happened in the past. You cannot blame sins of people hundreds if years ago on the present generation. Or do you think we should pay reporations to all African Americans? Judgments from sins of parents and sometimes grandparents are passed down for generations. But the...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Ignatius is insignificant to me and my faith! The Pope is not significant to me and my faith in Christ. I came to Christ apart from the Catholic Church. They tried when I was a young boy and nothing stuck. Went to Catechism, was confirmed and received Communion ... and nothing. Twenty years...

    Right, a representation of the world system, the United Nations. They are behind the Great Reset, Global Warming (global governance in disguise).

    Did you ever meet and talk to a Priest or a Nun? If so, did you sense evil in them or good? The Catholic Church carried us for a thousand years til the Reformation, then now the torch is carried by both. So much good has been spread, missions, orphanages, hospitals, charity, in the name of Jesus...

    If that is how you interpret scripture, you will fail. Scripture is spiritually discerned. Getting your Lexicon or Strongs out is helpful, but it will not give you depth of understand as the Holy Spirit does. That leads me to the question: Are you a born again believer, baptized by the Holy...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Spiritually nothing. We both have faith in Christ, believe that He died on the cross for our sins and rose on the third day. All the other added traditions, misinterpretations, don't disqualify you. They do not forfeit your faith. A child can have faith at 4 years old and not understand 95% of...

    Preparing for the End of the World (as We Know it)

    Labor pains happen on the last day of pregnancy, usually within 18 hours of the birth. So when you consider the clock starting to tick in 1948, allowing <80 years (one generation) for the Great Tribulation to happen, the birth pangs will be not be years but months before it happens and certainly...

    Meaning of Lk 2:35 prophecy

    The WORD is the Sword of the Spirit and it is able to divide soul from spirit. "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the...
