    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    By comparing and contrasting extant copies of his writings. *** What if I sent you a letter that, let’s say, contains 15 paragraphs. Now what if someone years later finds a copy of that very same letter that contains, let’s say, 25 paragraphs. They have in their hands a letter that I wrote...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Read his writings, compare the extant versions of what he wrote, and it‘s obvious that it is tampered with. Who tampered with it? I don’t know. Those aren’t examples of the Papacy. Those are examples that there was at Church at Rome. There was a long struggle before the Bishop of Rome finally...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Just one more assertion that you cannot be wrong when you are wrong. I agree. It’s simply called the Church or the Church of God in scripture. I’ve already dealt with the Protestants. Protestantism is nothing more a reformation movement. I re-read Ignatius last year. (I read and re-read...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    You offered for my consideration (in this post and the two that followed) nothing more than the RCC party line. The RCC began with the establishment of orthodoxy in the 4th century.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    The brackets make it a false premise. It is impossible to be the Christian Church that isn’t and never was the Church that Jesus founded. See how close we could be with that simple removal of the premise which you placed in brackets? Google the arguments against it and see for yourself.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Good title. Christianity is Jewish, not Roman Catholic (nor Protestant).

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    It actually isn’t and never was. Brackets is a giveaway that your argument is biased. Remove them and I could agree with this part of your comment. Yes. Just like Jesus and the Apostles. See above. There are no Apostles of their rank today.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Yes. The RCC isn’t Jesus Christ’s Church. I’ll leave it to others if they want to pick up the discussion with you. Paul has instruction for husbands and wives.

    Continuing Education

    Last year I was appointed by a judge to work on the Kentucky Citizen Foster Care Review Board in the county where I currently reside. Today was a mandatory training webinar for me; required continuing education: ”Pathways to Treatment: Overcoming Insurance & Testing Barriers and Exploring the...

    The curious case of John 5:4

    No. It is what it is. It will remain this way until the Messiah returns.

    The curious case of John 5:4

    What’s really difficult here for me is justifying my own use of time. [For me this forum is primarily an escape from my work with neglected, abused and at risk children. (Quite often, especially with teens, they don’t want help but are in desperate need of it.) The irony is that my presence...
