Nearly everyone knows who C.S. Lewis is. Do they know what he says? He says, for instance, “The Gospels are not ‘the gospel,’ the statement of the Christian belief.” (Introduction to J.B. Phillips’ Letters to Young Churches, p. 8-9) Where do we find the gospel then, “the statement of the...

As was Gustafson and the Billy Graham Association, so too was D. James Kennedy. “Many people today think that the essence of Christianity is the teachings of Jesus. That isn’t so. The teachings of Jesus are somewhat secondary to Christianity. If you read the epistles of the apostle Paul, which...

Concerning Romans 10:14, the translation you quoted - my “workhorse” translation, NASB - has the good but slightly vague “How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard?”. The GW translation captures and conveys the right idea when it renders the passage “How can they believe in him if...

There is a group called Soles4Souls. Perhaps they could be of assistance. soles4souls.org (link provided). Turn shoes and clothing into opportunity.

What are the means of worship that you’re referring to?

The “Holy apostolic council of Trent” anathematizes me @theefaith. Please spell out what that means for me in practical terms. I count you as a friend. Give it to me straight.

I’m reading “The Trinity In The New Testament” by Arthur W. Wainwright. Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically.

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life...

Simple truth, eloquently stated. “Eloquence is vehement simplicity.” - Richard Cecil Amen.

Daily prayer is most important. “Rejoice always; praying without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NASB) “Unceasing prayer is, in essence, continual dependence upon and communion with the Father.” What does it mean...

“He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20, NASB)

“Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” (Jim Valvano)

I can take as much as I have to, because I don’t take it alone. “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, NASB) “I am with you. I...

Where exactly in time do you locate the beginning of “the age of the great apostasy”? Is it connected with Vatican II? Is it connected to an event or occurrence before that? After that?

So trying to put this all together, it sounds like you’re saying that you’re under the control of “the age of the great apostasy” and there is no such thing as religious liberty.

The Roman Catholic Church appears to be in retreat / decline. From “most of Europe at one time” to “unknown to you” but maybe Spain. Would you attribute the reversal to the great apostasy? Speaking as an outsider looking in, with your assistance, the Roman Catholic Church doesn’t sound very...

So you didn’t pray to her on her Feast day but, as your commentary on the Penny catechism notes, “also praying to them” - which includes her. That sounds to me like you either have or might have prayed to her on other occasions. I’m having difficulty understanding how “no prayer is addressed to...

So you believe then that she is “not mother of the divine nature but mother of his entire person”. I believe she is the mother of his entire person.

Agreed. Who is God to the Roman Catholic Church? The Trinity. Who is God to Jesus? The Father.
