@Illuminator said, Again, find primary source evidence of an emperor telling the Pope what to teach on matters of faith and morals, or get off your "Catholic Roman Empire Church" bandwagon. You and @BreadOfLife have the same way of looking at your religion as do many Catholics….your beliefs are...

So tell us when do you think the Roman Empire ceased to exist.

I agree that the Anglicans probably used it as a insult and for the same reason that the Protestants use it today. But I disagree that it was never used by the Roman Catholic Church. Because if you just said "I am a Catholic" then the question would always be Roman or Orthodox. The last official...

Who was invited to the Council of Nicaea? Constantine had invited all 1800 episcopus of the Christian churches (about 1000 in the east and 800 in the west), but only 250 to 320 episcopus actually participated...episcopus if they were talking Latin....basically overseer. You are not going to be...

So you think that the Church had no connection to Rome? It was definitely Roman. You guys want it both ways. You want to say that Peter had a connection to Rome but you want to distance the Catholic Church from the Roman Empire. Now you know why I have to have a sense of humor. It is all about...

I do know that and we have talked about it on this thread. And it makes some sense. The word Catholic is derived from the Greek adjective, katholikos, meaning "universal," and from the adverbial phrase, kath' holou, meaning "on the whole." The term was first used by St. Ignatius When...

We are talking about the Catholic Church.

You have no good reason. It is a form of insanity and I have explained that in detail. The desire to control other people's bodies. The desire to control people down to the most personal level. The desire to control what people believe has always been a desire, but always the folly of fools...

Again never ask a Catholics about history, or really Christianity. Because from the Catholic perspective they live a fantasy that they have a connection with God that gives them sweeping authority. As it is, it is the root of all that made the Catholic Church evil. The lust for power so...

I am not a modernist liberal. But you sound like one. The Church's teachings on marriage and sexuality? How about the scriptures. BigParma....no a fan but you sound like a antiestablishment hippie. LOL Church's authority?....the root of its downfall....the lust for authority and power. That...

I understand how some interpret Revelation as talking about the Catholic Church and it fuels the hate in Christianity. A lot of bad feelings between the Catholic Church and Protestants and others.... But you do not want to turn Christianity into a religion of hate. Hate fuels Satan and brings...

You have demonstrated a health dose of denial throughout the form. Your understanding of the Catholic Church exists as a fantasy between your ears. You cannot change the past and you are not going to change the perceptions ….for right now….so concentrate on blazing a good path for the future...

Greco-Roman god Hades.....in Hades.

Suggestions for the Catholic Church for the future of the Catholic Church As it sits the Catholic Church is poised for greatness, they just need to take the next step in the right direction…. It has the membership…..larger than all the Protestant denominations combined. It has the Physical...

Back in the day I called this Essay “The fate of the Hebrew scriptures” At the close of the Hebrew texts the Jews find themselves under, more or less the friendly rule of the Persians after they had conquered the Babylonians. At this point the Hebrew texts are in the process of being modified...

It is not really a correction. The Septuagint was a Greek translation....so the word was available. But putting Hades in a Hebrew text is an incorrect translation because the Jews did not have a god named Hades nor did they know of a spirit prison named Hades.....and using hades as an equivalent...

No I am exactly right. And correction the scriptures are the Word of God. The Bible is man's translation of that. Don't tell me you are another one that thinks the KJV is a God!

Good questions….Just the facts man! Hell and Hades….are not mentioned in the Old Testament for a very good reason. If you have a Bible with these words in the Old Testament….buy another Bible The word Hell does not appear in the Old or New Testament, because the word did not exist in the any...

Yep he flew there in a 747 and they all greeted him and hailed him as Pope Thomas and he took them all out to McDonald's and had Happy Meals and afterwards he baptized them in a jacuzzi. LOL Never ask Catholics about history!

OK
