Well, I think that's debatable. I think from one perspective he's actually a breath of fresh air. He's an example of old school catholicism... I liken him to a resurrected inquisitor from the 13th century with an advanced degree on Trent philosophy that he channeled through a 16th century saint...

Indeed, that was the eternal sacrifice that the Father made... Never again will the Son be as He was begotten before the creation of the world.

There is a whole farm of straw men here which you have resorted to in order to defend just one point of belief. They are unnecessary and superfluous to the discussion. For example, no-one is arguing about the nature of Christ before the incarnation. No-one of arguing that He gave his life to...

That description by John doesn't seem to be much like that of a spirit does it.

Except that @theefaith believes that only his church and the priests thereof have the authority to teach what those Commandments mean. If you read scripture, and you conclude from your reading and prayers that the Spirit is informing you too obey God's Commandments a certain way, which happens...

Oh, and the second point... God's kingdom isn't of this world. Jesus will establish His kingdom Himself when He recreates the new heaven and the new earth. That will be when the meek will receive the promise of their inheritance. Until then, God is creating a people who worship Him in Spirit and...

Most of Europe was Catholic yes. Christian, no. There were pockets of Christians who had kept the faith, but they were in the wilderness, persecuted and constantly harassed and either dispossessed of land and houses, or killed. Throughout the 1260 years of papal supremacy from the 6th century...

There you go. The problem though is that the doctrines and dogmas and practises that you would promote as being enforced in a so called "Christian kingdom" fails in 2 major points. First, the doctrines aren't Christian. They are most certainly Catholic, but Catholics throughout history have...

What does being born again mean? KJV Revelation 3:20 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me . KJV John 1:12-13 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons...

Which is why we should be grateful to him for his honesty. None of the other Catholics here have been so frank about their church's true character. Now all we need is for those protestants here who believe a union and agreement with catholicism in effecting a combined political response to the...

You expose the evil of your Catholic faith with every new thread you start. You deserve our undying gratitude for showing us all the true nature of catholicism.

You are sadly mistaken of you think a human sacrifice sufficient for man's redemption. Mankind wasn't condemned and guilty for transgressing against human laws. The Ten Commandments, the law against which man sinned, is a divine law written with a divine finger on tablets made from the very...

Mmmm. Thank you again @theefaith for revealing your true character as opposed to the fake Catholics elsewhere on this site. You have shown the true character of your catholicity by denying the blood of the Lamb as the basis for our justification, replacing it with your works and self efforts...

My friend, regarding your statement concerning ambiguity, I fully understand where you are coming from, but only if you are considering prophecy from people such as Nostradamus, and other spiritualist teachers and philosophers who do not have the Spirit of God operating in their lives. Their so...

That was not the intention for my quoting of the Bible. I was not presenting those texts as stand alone proofs of God. I was hoping you would actually read them and understand what they were saying. All of those texts were making a proposal... Issuing a challenge. They were basically saying...

I agree with you about Justin Martyr. He taught Tatian who taught Clement, the founder of the school at Alexandria that gave birth to gnosticism. The entire mindset of biblical interpretation turned to custard at Alexandria, and Rome signed on to the same mindset. Then came the error ridden...

"Basically the residence" doesn't explain the metaphysical difference between what you term a "spiritual resurrection" and what others here believe a glorified human body, as appears to have been the case with Jesus after His resurrection and before His ascension. What evidence do you have that...

No. But they are free to choose not to worship the way you please.

Again I must commend you @theefaith . Now most here would know me sufficiently that I am no friend to catholicism as a system, but now and again am individual Catholic impressed me. And @theefaith did impress me. My first impression is that he would be the most dangerous Catholic on this forum...

KJV Isaiah 46:5-10 5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. 7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they...
