    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Thanks for the link. I can hardly remember all the heresies. But, yes, Arianism was a big one. Gnosticism another -- already around at the time of John. He meant the gnostics when he said that if they were of us , they would not have left us. 1 John 2:19

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Maybe you'd like to have a REAL conversation? Something I've not been able to do on this forum. Many remarks Mary tirades No scripture. The subject was IRRISESTABLE GRACE. Would you care to post some scripture that supports your theology stating that God gives His saving grace only to some and...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Jerome didn't do such a good job of translating the bible. As to the rest, yes, I agree, but I'm not sure it was as far back as the 4th century when the bible was compiled. Do you think this was about the time that the Holy Spirit controversy began when it was accepted that He was God? I can't...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    1. Ask some Priests....re not believing ALL catholic doctrine.....see what THEY tell you. 2. 90% of Catholics do not accept ALL CATHOLIC DOGMA. So you're one of the very few REAL CATHOLICS! Kuddos.

    Does God Love Everyone?

    I was going to post John 3:16 but many beat me to it. Romans 5:8 states that God loved us while we were still sinners. 1 John 4:10 states that God loved us and sent His Son to be our propitiation. Jesus is the propitiation for everyone. 1 John 2:1-2 and so it means that God loves everyone...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Why? Who is judging who? We're just agreeing that MAYBE, the bible has some inconsistencies in it and that should not affect our faith. Persons who think the bible is written straight by God,,,,will have their faith tested if they learn of just one "mistake".

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Yes, well you know the truth is that A LOT has been discovered since the "official" - straight from God - KJV was printed. Thank God for it, don't get me wrong, but it's time to move on. Although I do love the poetic sound of it. And I even remember some verses in the KJV! It's too easy to...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I don't know this.... Not that I know a lot about church history - just a little. I don't believe there started to be problems between the East and West until about 800 or so until the final schism in 1,000AD. If you know differently, I sure would like to see some writing on it. I don't think...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    @St. SteVen I found this quick: Between significance and scripture The turning point, at which our present New Testament books ceased to be occasional writings and became scripture, was really in the second century. By the time of Justin Martyr (ca. 100-165 AD) and Irenaeus (ca. 130-202 AD)...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    The ECFs were both Eastern and Western. When the bible was compiled, in the 4th century, there was no split between the two.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    You know St. SteVen, Some today are worshipping the bible instead of God. I see that you're Christian and are asking the same questions that atheists ask. This is good...Good to have an open mind. Persons that are fundamental in theology might have a rude awakening someday, and THEN what do they...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    What's to research? WHO canonized the NT? Who compiled the writings? Who put it together?

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Hi St. SeVen For the NT, I'd say this: God wrote it through fallible human authors The Bible was written by inspired human authors Some parts of the Bible were written by inspired human authors The Church chose from available writings to form the Bible Other - please comment Fallible...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Here's setting the record straight and I'll reply to no further posts from you: 1. There is NO WHERE in the NT that states that Priests could not be married. In fact, they were married until 1,200AD and the reason this changed was not for spiritual reasons....you'll have to do some studying...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    IF I say I DO NOT agree with a teaching...of whatever denomination.... that doesn't mean I'm lying....IT MEANS I DON'T AGREE WITH IT. I don't like being called a liar because I don't agree with what you or @BreadOfLife believe is correct. I also do not call myself a Catholic BECAUSE I don't...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    You didn't specify .... the OT or the NT..... I'd have different replies for each one.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I only reply to scripture. As I stated already....your OPINIONS don't interest me. I guess that's all you've got....opinions.

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Others might watch your videos? I could post hundreds. But I won't. Know why? People already hate the CC and you and Bread are the reasons why. Your dripping with hate and that's not what Jesus taught. So maybe your CHURCH is teaching it to you? Or maybe you're filled with sinful pride. Or maybe...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    I wanted to say that I agree with you. Priests being married will have no effect on church membership/attendance. Some of the older priests (at least here) became priests for varying reasons having nothing to do with being called by God. There are fewer priests today but they truly believe in...

    Nonsense. Report back when you have something to say.
