You don't seem to understand who either of them are. Jesus was the person through whom the Father spoke to Israel. Throughout all the OT. Jesus was the pre-incarnate Son of the OT GOD of Israel. It was Jesus who spoke to Moses on Sinai and commanded Moses to write them down. When Jesus became...

Atheistic communism was a direct result of the French revolution which itself was a revolution against Catholic tyranny and the priestly class of despotic self serving narcissistic gluttonous hypocrites that tore the heart and soul from French society. They only remedy the populous could see was...

I think we could advance this a step further by stating the necessity to overcome appetite. I mean appetite in the sense of lust. Jesus was tempted in the wilderness all three times in relation to appetite. The fruit of the spirit named as temperance is the victory over appetite, indulgence, or...

Having me on "ignore" won't help you. But I could name several church heads that did tremendous work for the gospel without any affiliation to Rome. Lucian. Patrick. Aiden. Dinooth. Papas. Vigilantus. Columba. Columbanus. Alba.

I'm not sure who you are addressing here. If it's me I think you misunderstand what I'm saying...I suggest you read my post a little more carefully. Now particularly this part...

What Paul declared was an essential daily exercise... To die... Could not possibly be physical for obvious reasons. And it can't be spiritual either because we have no power. Thus it can only mean surrender. Similar to the death we submit ourselves to in baptism. A voluntary submission on our...

An additional thought. The ignorance of that history... The denial of the Catholic Church's continuing dogmatic defense of papal supremacy and infallibility... The denial of the clear identification of the Catholic Church as the Antichrist of scripture... The delusion that a leopard can change...

I believe that concept originated with Plato or Aristotle... Or maybe both, I can't remember. But whoever, it is rooted in greek philosophy and I don't think it has a place in Christian theology... Except for something to avoid.

I get the music thing. Just now and again I'll listen to some good ole passionate southern rock from groups like Blackfeet or Lynyrd Skynyrd. But I will never pretend any of it is Christian... And I don't listen to Christian rock. Anachronism. I listen to southern rock when I'm in the mood for...

May I remind everyone of this quote from @theefaith . If there was any attitude that is quintessentially Catholic, and reflected by the Catholic contributors to numerous threads, it is the above arrogant intransigent belligerence against anything not in keeping with Catholic dogma the same of...

I think Catholics ought to take more notice of some of their own writers, sometimes they actually do come up with some wisdom. Thomas Aquinas for example had the following to say on the subject of authority and obedience... The order of authority derives from God, as the Apostle says [in Romans...

@Behold @CharismaticLady Genesis 3:15 reads, And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (AV) That portion of the text that reads in the AV, it shall bruise, in reference to the seed of the woman...

No, that's not what I said. They were there from the beginning, they separated from no-one. Rather, it was Rome that separated from them. My teaching comes from scripture and verifiable history. And the teachings of the reformers wasn't new. They were bringing back truths, and attempting to...

Do you fellas not believe scripture? You say the God of the NT is the real deal, much better than the one of the OT, so what happened to the OT version? Lost in translation?

Such is the classic Catholic view which mixes justification and sanctification. Heart circumcision is sanctification and it is the work of a life time. Baptism is a public declaration of the death of the 'old man' which is a decision voluntarily made by the Christian which is at conversion.

No, you did not. It was a diversion, and again, hardly subtle. You cannot defend the faults of one institution by pointing out the faults of another. Yes, some of the Protestant reformers persecuted one another. And yes, they also persecuted Catholics, particularly in Britain because they...

Just thought I would bump this... Always worth a reminder of who we are... And who Christ is... And the price He paid.

Not a very good diversion...too obvious. Read my post again. The Papal church disqualified itself from being the "pillar and ground for truth" when she apostatized and was married to another other than Christ. It is called spiritual adultery...joined to the kings of the earth. Jesus warned the...

When people say, "it's a finished work", I often wonder what it is they think is finished, and how the unfinished business that will continue until Christ comes affects us.

Sometimes I think we overthink our "calling". We study ourselves and take a poll and ask questions... What are my gifts... What are my talents... Thing is I see no evidence of any of that in scripture. I think if we are walking in faith... Being led of the spirit, we tend to just fall into our...
