My wife and I got real crook weekend before last. My wife was far worse off than me, nasty cough, exhausted regardless of sleep, sore throat and chest. Her asthma much worse. Wheezing constantly despite inhalers. Couldn't get hold of a doctor, surgeries too busy everywhere. This is Melbourne...

That's all you've got? Against inspired scripture you offer one text that says such and such "and his family" were baptized. That doesn't necessarily include infants. Particularly when other inspired scripture such as Romans 6 reveals the entire purpose of baptism which cannot apply to infants...

Of course, in the Christian age baptism represents the death of the one repenting of sin, death being the only solution to the sin problem. It reveals his willingness to become one with Christ in His death and in His resurrection. It reveals to all witnessing the event, which includes heaven...

Oh goodness Mary, if Romans 6 isn't God's revealed truth, then by all means look elsewhere for scripture that can be deemed more acceptable, or at least "interpreted", in favour of your opinion and church practise. Unfortunately for your opinion and church practise, Romans 6 is inspired and...

I find that the scriptures need very little "interpretation". I understand English quite well. Sometimes I do need assistance in fully understanding some of the more difficult passages, but none of those of not understood correctly, affect salvation. The important salvation issues are clearly...

KJV Matthew 11:25-29 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered...

I actually don't think spiritual adultery is really a laughing matter. KJV Revelation 17:1-2 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2...

Establishing a doctrine on the basis that scripture is silent in arguing against it opens the floodgates to all manner of nonsense... Is this the kind of human reasoning that the Catholic church stands on?

Mary agreed, the popes did lead the church into a political union. The result wasn't what you are speaking of doctrinally , but a matter of trust and relationship. The church abandoned God in favour of the kings of the earth in order to grow the church. Armies replaced the gospel. Inquisitions...

Eventually it totally changed the church, it's what introduced syncretism and compromise. It also resulted in divorce. Apostasy. Your men are lying to you. An apostolic teaching? Show me from Romans 6 how baptism was an infant appropriate event. Show me an example of John the Baptist baptising...

Correct. He, or it as I believe the Antichrist is.... Institution... Is against Christ by means of replacing Him.

Quote....But liberal theologians have never owned the evangelical church, nor even Catholicism until relatively recently. The real problem, I think, is in the culture itself, where Christianity used to reign supreme. This has been a long slow centuries-old slide towards Humanism, without any...

Because if they did trust in the kings and rulers of the secular world to propagate the doctrines and dogma of faith, instead of trusting in the work of the holy Spirit, then that is... Was... Spiritual adultery. Revelation of very clear that such was the sin of the whore, and such is the sin of...

A question we all need the humility to ask from time to time.

You are probably aware that the word Antichrist, means instead of, in place of, the true Christ. It's a counterfeit, as revealed particularly in Revelation 13. Note my post from a while back, Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

The point being made was not a theological or doctrinal issue. It is an historical issue. So challenging me to find it in the catechism or in scripture is a meaningless and a vain attempt to divert the conversation. The question I will ask is... Did the early Roman bishops, from around the 4th...

That's not entirely correct. Since the doctrine of the secret pre-trib rapture was first espoused, Christians have discussed and debated it. It hasn't been a merry of folks just not listening. People, myself included, have looked at the topic with all seriousness, and at one time believed as you...

KJV Daniel 2:43 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. The attempts at the union which you claim as a future certainty is doomed to failure. Clovis...

To which was replied... Hilarious.

That post you referred to by Guiliano, I had a lot of uneasiness with. There were some thoughts in it bordering on Luciferian philosophy that reverses good and evil. Concerning the OP, Jesus said that in heaven there will be no marriage. Romantic love, or sexual relations, outside of marriage...
