    Actually - the East/West split is not about "splinters" - if you know your history. which you obviously don't.

    Does your vote in 2020 really matter- most likely not

    It's unfortunate that there are so many ignorant Americans out there like YOU who don't understand how the country works. I blame it on the fact that they don't teach Civics classes in schools anymore. FIRST of all - we don't live in a democracy. This is a Federal Republic. Secondly - our...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Repetitious prayers are "forbidden" in Scripture?? Since when?? - In Matt. 26:44, our Lord himself prayed the EXACT SAME PRAYER three times in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. - In the Parable of the Determined Widow in Luke 18:-87, Jesus emphatically states that God hears...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Are you really this dense - or are you being purposely obtuse? How many times and how many different exampled do you need to be shown?? Let me explain this to you in terms that you can understand - hopefully . . . You are the CEO of a worldwide company and one of the things your company is...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Your entire rant would make Joseph Goebbels proud. "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Ahhhh - but there's where you're wrong because you don't do your homework. Although the abuses that Luther objected to may have been unknown to the Pope at the time - abuses HAD occurred previously - and had been dealt with successfully. When the Church finally decided that charitable...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Funny how you revisionists think. I've heard this lie repeated so many times over the years even I almost believed it - until I did my homework. Luther wasn't condemned for his "objections". By the way - his so-called, "99 Theses" were NOT all objections. SOME of them were agreements with the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sooooo, if YOU told one of your employees at an office across the country to collect donations for the annual company Toys for Tots drive - and he sent you a box of toys - would you assume that it was collected legitimately? OR would you interrogate him about having stolen or coerced the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I dunno - it was probably sent to the building fund for the new St. Peter's Basilica. That doesn't mean that the Pope sanctioned HOW the money was collected. He probably didn't know.

    What God said to me about Abortion

    “Automatic” nervous system “exercising” muscles?? I thought it was a “blob of unorganized flesh”?? Sooooooo, which is it?? A complex, organized central nervous system surrounded by fully-functioning organs, human tissue, a complex arterial and venous system all operated in perfect sync by a...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    And once again – you don‘t seem to have the intellect to be able to grasp the idea that Tetzel sold Indulgences WITHOUT the permission OR the sanction of the Church. In other words, Einstein – he did it on his own. It’s really not that difficult to understand – but somehow YOU haven’t been...

    What God said to me about Abortion

    Thar is complete, scientifically-debunked manure. This is not 1950. 4D ultrasounds, amniocentesis, genetic medicine ALL prove that an unborn child experiences pain, reacts evasively to medical instruments, has a heartbeat, full organ functions, and as complex a central nervous system as YOURS...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Baptism is the NORMATIVE means of salvation. A person can have Baptism of Desire who does not have the opportunity to be actually Baptized. This is what the Thief on the Cross experienced.

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    This should be your FIRST clue that belief is not enough. You must surrender to Christ - and that's where Baptism comes in. James assures us that if all you do it "believe" - then you're no better off than the demons (James 2:19). Christ stated in NO uncertain terms, "The one who believes and...

    What God said to me about Abortion

    A hamburger can never grow up to love or hate you or become your grandchild. It can never feel pain, whereas, an unborn child CAN.

    What God said to me about Abortion

    That’s an idiotic supposition. Where is the Bible does it say, “Thou shalt not put rat poison in your boss’s coffee so as to send him to the emergency room”? Where does it say, “Thou shalt not kill your neighbor’s dog”? If you are expecting the Bible to give you every minute detail about what...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Certain charitable contributions – along with charitable acts once garnered an Indulgence. This does NOT mean they were for “sale”. It wasn’t until the 16th century that men like Johann Tetzel went around the German countryside selling them. This was an ABUSE of the practice. Because of this...
