    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Ok, or as they say "Alrighty then" I cannot say that I totally agree with you or GodsGrace, other than a denomination has the right to define what they believe. But still I think you are kinda spiting hairs on terms. The Church has made an official statement on this, so why not just go with...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Hey-low Lady Jane, thank you for your post. Revelation, is an interesting topic in itself. Personnel revelation...denominational revelation. Unless one is not affiliated with one denomination or another, it hard to get away from councils of some sort, because each denomination is going to define...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    There is the rub. The leaven of man in the history of Christianity. Control is power, captivate the mind and you can control people. It took them quite a while to determine that religion and power did not mix. So came the concept of separation of church and state.

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    That is what I was trying to explain. This is all political chaos. Eusebius was what I called a double agent. The fellow that wrote Jesus Freak called him Constantine's spin doctor. But people get critical and cynical.....but that is what I was trying to explain....before you get too critical...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Why did they have to enforce doctrine using force? I'd say they panicked. They did not believe the Church would not fail . . . unless they took up arms. History shows they acted as if they believed it would fail unless they behaved violently. I started reading about the Roman Empire when I was...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    It has been suggested that some practices were made considering the economics of it. I have read that standing is cheaper than sitting because you do not have to provide a seat. And then there is the topic of celibacy, that the Church chose celibacy because it did not want to support the wives...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    The things that can be said about the councils that would surprise most that have not studied them closely is the political nature, intrigue, infighting, and hostile behavior. Although not surprising, strong beliefs butting heads...you can see it right here on this forum. Rome was involved in...

    No J's simple as that.

    Biblical Foreknowledge

    No Old Testament law in the New Covenant. No Old Testament law pertains to Christians! If you love the Law, go be a Jew, you will then have 613 laws to content with. Maybe then you will know why Christ lifted the burden of the Law from us. Paul put it simply, several times, we are not under the...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Ok then you tell me the names of the Gods....and then count them. Also know that the letter J was in no language until 1400 years after Christ. Did not come into common use until 1600. They went and changed all the Y's for persons and places to J's. Yahweh...Yeshua...Yerushaláyim can be...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    No Mosaic Laws in the Christianity....period!

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Can you clarify your question? A concession of what to who? Do you think James saw Jews and gentiles as still separate within the Church? Not as a correction, but it is Paul and Peter that are making their case. James is what some call a Jewish-Christian...practicing the customs and practices...
