    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Yes the world is wants us to compromise, but it is not due to reason, rather the suspension of reason. Reason tells us that only a woman can be a mother and only a man can be a father, but instead of accepting that, the feelings of the arrogant are hurt and they suspend reason and claim truth...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Meekness at the service of good is praiseworthy, but sloth in the face of evil purporting to be meekness is actually a promoter of evil Jesus Himself became righteously angry at the profanation of the Temple in Jerusalem. There is a righteous anger yet not all anger is righteous Too many times...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Thank you for the criticism, it is well taken When I appeal to reason, it is not as though it would be purely human reason, which could only take us so far, but rather to accept the invitation of God, come let us reason together says the Lord Also we should not rely on feelings because the...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Life is a spiritual battle. Aggresion against evil is good, because God has already pronounced His judgment, but aggression for aggressions sake stirs up the passions and leads us to the occasion of sin. There is no reasonable need to listen to such...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Are we not men? We are Devo, D-E-V-O The irony is that Devo was right. Evolution is false. Due to the law of genetic entropy, we are devolving, not evolving Mutation degrades the genetic code and turns the information contained therein to gibberish not X-men. Mutation results in cancer...

    Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

    Music is a powerful medium to focus the mind, what it focuses on depends largely on the lyrics. If all we want Jesus to do is dry out tears and “take us as we are” rather than repent and hunger and thirst for holiness, it’s reflected and promoted in the lyrics. Oh, you are saying that I have...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    Jesus said it would not be that easy way. He did not say have faith in me, and everyone will love you. You will have no problem. If the Catholic Church were wrong and others right, we would expect to be met with Charity, because the elect follow the commands of God, right? Our Lord’s words...

    Spanish Inquisiton

    The Jesuits are not the Catholic Church but merely members. I agree that many actions of the Jesuits, particularly in Nicaragua were grave error. The Jesuits in the 1970s and 80s joined the communist revolution of the Sandinistas and actually had political posts in the junta. They were openly...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    Excellent point of view. The only thing that I would like to add, and not sure that you don’t already know this, it is not just bread and wine that we come together to share a meal and reminisce. It really is the body and blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The example from...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    What got me is the Eucharist which is the source and summit of Catholic faith We worship God who has the power of creation merely by His will. He says let there be light and there was light. He says this is my body and it is. Transubstantiation is only an attempt to explain what is...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    Yes it is a difficult road. We are to love our enemies, yet not become ensnared by them. People have been taught for the last 500 or so years that the Catholic Church is apostate. It is a full time job to defend the faith once delivered to the saints. The desire to avoid all argument is as...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    I see what you are saying. I have been in Protestant assemblies and in Catholic associations where modern thought has taken hold. Many understand that modernism is the synthesis of all heresies, because it is a type of generational arrogance. You seem to grasp this. If you are in a...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    And that surprises you how? Demons are smarter than us and can manipulate emotions to make evil seem good. Why do you think it is written in scripture, Woe to those that call evil good and good evil? Isaiah 5:20 It is also written that the says are coming when they will kill you, thinking...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    I always find it interesting when people engage in arguments like this that they say it was a different culture and such and such doesn’t understand what it was like to be in that culture, etc, etc We are taking about God here, and He has established His norms. He said that if one even looks...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    You summed up the objections very well. It is easy to see why we have the results that we do today. All of it can be shown that people want to be in control of God, both inside and outside the Church, instead of obeying Christ’s command. If any one come after me, let him deny his very self...
