    What is the one true Church?

    Here is the deal.....what does the truth do? My studies and my ministry I call the Johnny Appleseed of Truth. The truth in any congregation or open forum is going to offend somebody. I am a candle of truth in a wind storm of lies and false beliefs, but that is my calling. Christians deserve to...

    What is the one true Church?

    Yes, the bishops of the church continued to play the major role in interpreting Scripture and constructing theology based on biblical exegesis. Yet behind the bishops and presbyters during and after the Council of Nicaea stood a series of Christian Roman emperors more than willing to intervene...

    What is the one true Church?

    The reading of scriptures is part of knowing the truth but they can cause false beliefs if not read in context of when and under what circumstances they were written. I have said it so many times....you cannot understand the scriptures if you read them like the local Sunday paper....and...

    What is the one true Church?

    To understand the Early Roman Catholic Church (325 AD and on) you have to understand the Roman way of thinking and doing things and then you have to understand who is running the Church and who isn't. There were no Jewish-Christians at the Ecumenical Councils that I know of......Its all...

    What is the one true Church?

    Good memory.....I do reject the doctrine of Original Sin ( Augustine was crazy for sure) and Calvin was crazy and blasphemous. And I do not remember that about Martin but it is not impossible. Here is the thing....what is Baptism? What are all the aspects of Baptism? Its spiritual effects, it...

    What is the one true Church?

    Show us a priest that decided to take a wife while he was a priest. I have a friend that is a priest and we meet and have dinner and drinks on occasion and this topic has come up. So your explaination does not hold water. And if I remember correctly Paul objected to James's requirement to be...

    What is the one true Church?

    "Anti" Catholics or Catholic haters are ignorant in the truest sense. These people do not even know their own history much less what is going on with the Catholics.....The problem is with people that are not Catholic or even religious. Someone that is considering looking into Christianity....Do...

    What is the one true Church?

    Respect for authority is fine. And having favorites is fine....One guy may have Peter as a favorite the next guy could favor Paul or Luke or Matthew, and that is fine. That is not where the problem is. But for a guy to say....Paul is the absolute Apostle because Christ took him up to the third...

    What is the one true Church?

    Why is there no true Church?....no body likes the truth. They would rather have a religion of false beliefs and fantasy. Your worshipping Peter does not help the Church and the celibacy thing has lead to modern day atrocities. Peter never functioned as the leader of the Apostles. He was a...

    What is the one true Church?

    I understand the Protestant believe that you cannot talk to people that have died. And I understand it is not a well defined topic.... But you tell me how many people in the Bible that talked to people that had died. Now praying to them is a different topic.

    What is the one true Church?

    The Bible can lead you to Christ and "the Way" to salvation....but understanding the Spirit of Christ is a separate study, an important study. Because the Bible is an extremely abbreviated account of what went on with little or no background information, being read by people in modern times that...

    What is the one true Church?

    The history of Christian movements after the destruction of the Temple is a little sketchy. Pella seems to be their first settlement, not to say that there were not others. The ventures of various Apostles is another matter of traditional history. As a religion it expanded in all directions...

    What is the one true Church?

    No if you could read and write we could have and an intelligent conversation.....You are not even smart enough to know that you are talking to a friend. And I did not say that the Catholics worship Peter..... I explained that the Protestants do not understand the Catholic beliefs and it seems...

    What is the one true Church?

    Some people dig their own graves. Some people are their own worst enemy. Some people don't know when to quit while they are ahead. Most Protestants don't know all the things the Catholic believe or understand their rituals. But one of the issues that Protestants have with Catholics is that they...

    What is the one true Church?

    And the crowd roared with applause!

    What is the one true Church?

    Could we say to see the true Spirit of Christ, we can go to a thread where Catholics and Protestants are engaging? No! But we can see their true spirit.

    What is the one true Church?

    You said....nor the errors within the protestant realm either . Unity with those who love and follow CHRIST not unity with those who seduce and teach falsehoods . Do a study on perspectives and how they influence your reality and everyone's reality from their own personal perspective. First you...

    What is the one true Church?

    Granted that there has been a lot of bad blood between the Catholics and Protestants and at times rightly so. And how many different approaches to Christianity do we have now? As it is today the Catholics are different than the Protestants but all live in glass houses with their own mounting...

    What is the one true Church?

    As it is Thomas Jefferson knew that this type of system of government would require a revolution on occasion. He said that very thing. One of the reasons that the fore fathers insisted on the right to own guns. The government can only get so tyrannical before they are killed. January 6th was a...

    What is the one true Church?

    Before America there was no country that allowed religious freedom. Before America there was no country that recognized the rights of individuals. God, country, guns, and guts!
