To answer the O.P. question: Because R.C. members are told to be. R.C. 'priests' and officials teach that their group is the only correct group. The R.C. / Vatican group teaches that there is NO salvation outside of the R.C. system. If a "Protestant" quotes a Bible verse(s) to a R.C...

:amen: :clap: Great points again brandplucked. Keep your hands to the plow! Remember Galatians 6:9 ! For 2 decades I was a huge NASB fan. Thought it was the best thing since Chocolate Ice Cream. The subtle little changes of certain words and phrases though caused me to...

Hello --- I read your post and I was moved. I feel for you , and I do understand your situation and your heart's desire. I was christened at a beautiful rock & brick and Tiffany stained glass windowed, historic Episcopal Cathedral ( one of the oldest in the Western U.S. ) , many years...

Hello Daniel 0809 --- From many/most of the 'answers' you have gotten , most folks have no clue where Orange County, Cal. is at. I do and lived & worked in the area for decades. I went to/ was a member of several churches in the area. The best bet for you in your situation is to attend...

Brandplucked ---> :thumbsup: :clap: Thanks for the update on the scripture denying 'Know-it-all" James White. Agree with pshun2404 and 1watchman also. White is a flaming fibber, and I told him so on his You Tube website comments area. I told him he was a liar , and I...

Wow - "Princeton guy" ... Your post just verified why good Bible-believers such as Dr. J. Gresham Machen & friends left Princeton and founded Westminster Theological Seminary in Philly. When scripture is questioned and/or insulted , it is a definite sign of 'liberalism'. A "Baptist" is...

To the O.P. --- Hello. Since you mentioned the volume by 'Eusebius" , I will not repeat that title. There is some very good things out there both on the internet ( such as ccel.org , as someone mentioned ) and 'Google books' and 'Open Library'. Don't forget to visit Used Book shops ...

If I may ... I would like to back up a little bit to a previous line. I prefer the wording of the Creed found in my copy of 'The Book of Common Prayer' ( Both the 1662 & the 1928 ) to the modern version which is on this website. {[ It is the one provided by the website , so I guess we ( I )...

Yes - thanks for the offer. I have wanted to for over a week now. The pace is moving quick , so I better jump in while there is still water to swim in. ;) . I will add this thought really quick: Unlike some posters/members , I like and have always liked the excellent figure of the...

:amen: :thumbsup: The Thread title is goofy ... and the Thread starter is irrelevant ! ( 2Tim 3:8 comes to mind as does the Epistle of Jude.) God's Inspired scripture will last long after the Thread starter is in the grave. "The grass withereth , the flower fadeth: but the...

Hello. I kind of doubt he will be back. The Thread title sounded interesting , so I read the O.P.. I immediately noticed that he said "The Bible" ... yet all of his quotes are from only the N.T.. Oddly - the guy wants to teach us ( the members/posters ) "the definition of sin according to...

What a snarky , nasty reply! :scratch: Do you know my Church group ? Have we ever met ? My illustration was a good one ... unless of course you are one of the people who commit 'rolling stops' , and/or only 'stop' if there is a police car in sight . Humans ( especially 'Christians' )...

:amen: To the O.P. --- I am amazed that you being a Lutheran wear a crucifix , and that you posted a photo of a "Lutheran" church in Norway --- a place that looks just like an R.C. place would look like. It has been years since I went to the 'Marriage Class" ( basic Bible highlights...

The verse that you are asking about is found in the Book of "Daniel" , in the Old Testament. "Daniel" is one of the "Prophetic", or Books of Prophecy. The "Prophetical" Books go from Isaiah to Malachi. In the English language the word 'Prophecy' or 'Prophet' can often have two meanings. That...

:amen: :thumbsup: Christ Jesus is the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity, and thus is NOT against the God Breathed scriptures ! The Thread starter needs to read , and heed what the Lord Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5: 17-19. If the thread starter is actually a blood-bought ...
