YOU don’t get to define history or what the “Early Church” is. It IS what it is – regardless of YOUR denials. And the fact of the matter is that the Early Church is defined as those first 9 centuries of the Church. As for Solomon’s carved statues – IF he was commanded by God to do so – it...

Ummmmm, that’s a stretch. Solomon wasn’t commanded to have carved Cherubim placed in the Temple. It’s not even implied in Scripture. Nice try . . . As for the “Early Church” era being up for argument - the ”Early Church” Fathers are considered so as late as John of Damascus in AD 749. This...

No - YOU are lying. Forgiveness (aphiemi) means to remove – to leave behind. If you are forgiven – you have NO MORE SINS. They are not simply “covered” – they are GONE. Doesn’t matter if you were born in sin – it is NO LONGER in you. And - if you NO LONGER sin – then you are SIN-FREE. The...

Nonsense. I’ve proven repeatedly that you have claimed to be without sin, having been: a) Forgiven of ALL past sin. b) Unable to sin anymore This would make you SIN-FREE– and 1 John 1:8 says that you have deceived yourself and that the truth is NOT in you. You can dance around the issue all...

This is absolute nonsense and yet another one of your anti-Catholic lies that has been exposed . . . Paragraphs 846 - 848 of the Catechism destroy your nonsense: "Outside the Church there is no salvation" 846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335...

I have explained this verse to you MANY times now. When YOU present a refutation of the verses I presented that destroy your false Protestant doctrine of OSAS – then I will explain 1 John 1:8 to you again. YOUR turn . . .

Only truth . . .

Apples and oranges . . . God commanded Moses to create golden images of Cherubim. Solomon was NOT commanded by God to do so – but God APPROVED of them. BIG difference. As for images used for educating the masses throughout history – I have proven my point repeatedly. I said that the EARLY...

Then point me to the POST where you "refuted" my evidence . . .

As GG noted in a rare moment of honesty and historical accuracy – Christianity was under persecution until the 4th century so you won’t find any Church buildings during the first 3 centuries. From about the 6th century on, Churches began to display works of art as means to remind people of whet...

Then dispute those verses, Einstein . . .

Sooooo, scholarly evidence and physical evidence aren’t as valuable as YOUR denials?? Your arrogance is almost as astounding as your ignorance. I was taught in school in several subjects. The teachers employed textbooks, lectures and films. WHY would you think that the Early Church wouldn’t...

In post #910, @epostle produced a work of Biblical art from the Early Church (2nd century). YOUR demand for “proof” is dishonest in light of the fact that he has already provided it. Here are some further examples from . . . the 3rd century . . . “The Good Shepherd” “Adoration of the Magi”...

Nonsense. I’ve proven repeatedly that you have claimed to be without sin, having been: a) Forgiven of ALL past sin. b) Unable to sin anymore This would make you SIN-FREE – and 1 John 1:8 says that you have deceived yourself and that the truth is NOT in you. You can dance around the issue all...

Not ONE refutation. A few attempts from others but nothing from YOU. I wonder WHY that is . . .

Your historical ignorance is noted. Here is some proof for my argument from BibleGateway.com – which is a PROTESTANT site: Engaging Scripture Through Art Virtually every biblical account has been visually portrayed at least once and usually many times throughout history and across cultures. In...

Ummmm, Genesis wasn't written in Greek . . .

Yet you can't name ONE . . .

Then, why don't you at least TRY to refute what I posted?? The fact is that you can't. Some "joke" . . .

Ummmmm, first of all - YOU’RE not illiterate - so a painting or a statue wouldn’t have the same impact on YOU that it would on a person who can’t read. As for the reason I called you “anti-Catholic” it’s because you invent things to throw at the Church instead of simply using factsToo many of...
