    Original Sin

    It does not hurt to speculate on what happened in Paradise. We are looking for the justification for the doctrine of Original Sin. Might as well track it like detectives.

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    I have to comment on this. Why this particular sin? For one a marriage licence for a gay marriage is a ticket to hell. It is habitual by design. No repentance and so no forgiveness and it can also damn children...economy damning! Secondly the historical progression of Christian Marriage is...

    King James Version Only...?

    The formula for the Trinity for one. But as to what all it has affected, that question would take some time. The King James Version of Christianity is of itself unique. It is a matter of additional scriptures and misinterpretations. Then again there is the whole insertion of a new name for...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    How many explanations for this do you think has been proposed over the centuries? Do you think the Tribulation was prophesied to last for nearly 300 years?

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    Oh my gosh! 1 Wrong As Augustine and the amillenial hermeneutic took hold prophecy was less talked on. the more "gentilized" the church became, the less interest in literal eschatology there was! Replacement theology began and the church became Israel! See what I mean…say little…error big. 1...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    When I talk to people I find it amazing that, with just a couple sentences they can get ten things completely wrong. !. Prophecy started in earnest around the forth century. 2. "Scripture became available to the masses and allowed to be read by the masses, there was far more important issues of...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    Sooooo You are thinking.... A. Christ deceived all of the Apostles? B. The Apostles got it wrong? If so how many other things did they get wrong? C. Christ was just kidding when He said that this generation will not pass before these things occur? D. The joke has been on us for believing?

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    Yeap and as I have noted, all of that was to occur very very quickly.... so quickly that Paul was advising not to get married. Why would you want children for the persecutions? See under normal conditions Christian would have an interest in families. There is no focus on the family in NT. It is...

    Original Sin

    As He said later on, He was sorry that He made man. "Of course He already Knew" Which brings up another topic....all the way to Noah....to start over again.

    Original Sin

    All so true... The question I asked was not so answerable... What they did...more or less happens everyday, except in their case the whole of humanity was judged. So, do we know exactly? The vague and metaphorical nature of the story does not give the details. We do know that they sinned and...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Christianity as a religion, as a denomination, as a church of one, as a belief system....tomatoes....tomotoes. Whatever floats your boat. The term Christianity was coined in Antioch, then Paul used that term and term saints. Saint Ignatius of Antioch first used the term "Catholic Church"...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Saint Ignatius of Antioch first used the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning universal church) in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans around 107 AD.

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    You are trying to say, somebody is doing something...we can go with that...something somewhere was doing what? The Catholic Church was organizing in the first century and has been an organized Church since. The Churches of Asia, we can look at their differing beliefs. Around 325 the councils...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Worshiping Mary...most of them will tell you no. Now is there a fine line between praying to and worshiping? The Bible is not going to tell you anything about Mary's visitation. And if you are looking at the Bible only just leave the whole issue alone. God is telling them to do the things they...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    This is what I am talking about when I say the Fundamentalist climb fence, don't know what they are looking at or know what is going on. These are Christian events and miracles after the first 65 years. These people do not think she is a God. God communicates through her and she has done several...
