    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    Are you well-versed in the Calvinist beliefs? It does not seem so. How is man responsible for sin IF GOD MADE HIM TO SIN? If God predestined man to sin...HOW IS MAN RESPONSIBLE? Instead of one sentence answers, do you mind explaining yourself? Ummm. YOU are the one saying God predestines...

    Total adherence to Calvinism makes God the author of evil

    Really? Are you a calvinist? Could you PLEASE explain YOUR version of free will since calvinists DO believe in free will. And, there IS difference between philosophical free will and biblical free will. Biblical free will just means the ability to make a moral choice. Would you care to...

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    You probably won't know this... But in the Catholic faith what one bishop believes makes no difference. What matters is what the CATHOLIC CHURCH believes... This is made up of the Pope AND all the bishops combined. To this day. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this subject matter to...

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    I have one bible from 1816. I've never really looked into it...I just keep it like a treasure. All my other bibles are from 1975 and on... purchased at all different times and all different versions. My Italian bibles are from 2,000 and on and also about 3 different versions. I must say that...

    The Latest on Calvin

    I read it in two different bibles. I really can understand how these verses can be changed to mean what someone wants them to mean. I'm very sorry that the writers were not more careful with their wording. I think the reason they weren't that careful is because they had NO CONCEPT of God...

    Are you saying satan had Jesus killed? I must have misunderstood you. Jesus died because He was meant to die from the beginning of time. Genesis 3:15 ??

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    I guess it was Akiva...who didn't even know what he was declaring as to the Messiah! And then the Protestants took advantage of the situation since they didn't like books like the Maccabees because it spoke of praying or talking, to the dead. Right?

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    The Catholic bibles I have in my possession,,,a few versions...have 73 books. The Protestant bibles I have in my possission,,,a few versions,,,have 66 books. Where did the other 7 go? Didn't the Protestant movement remove them because they believed they were not canonical? Instead the...

    Smoke Screens?

    OK. Here's what I know: If God SAID what is going to happen,,,THEN satan will know. But he doesn't know the future He doesn't know what we're thinking That's all I could remember. Satan is not like God...he's not omni present/omniscient/potent. Only God is. If you don't agree...could...

    Well, if someone doesn't bother to tell us the item we make up our own! Do you know how long it takes to convince a kid that Eve didn't eat an apple? WEEKS!

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    I had done a LITTLE study on this a few years ago and from memory, I remember that Mary is the relative of David...not Joseph. I had learned that it wasn't important for Joseph to be the descendant of David, as it should have been, because Joseph was not the father of Jesus. There's a lot on...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Well, Respectfully Mary,,,, Surprise, surprise... I agree with you 100% A truth cannot be OBJECTIVE unless we all agree with it. I've often said protestantism should have a Pope. (or a magesterum). It's a problem. OTOH, I find it's a problem to when a church received FURTHER revelation and...

    Funny. It's like that for me too. I got a tablet and fiddled around with that thing for a couple of weeks before I knew what I was doing. Thing is, I prolly still can't explain what I do! It helps us to stay young!

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    So you believe doctrine saves. If a person loves Jesus and is a disciple but believes in ... let's say ...eternal security ... which we both know is not biblical... You believe that person will be lost?

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    I agree and would rather not reply to the first paragraph. I do believe the CC is the original church and goes all the way back to the Apostles. Why they don't trust the church is not a topic for here.
