    What is considered tradtions . . . where is the line drawn?

    So, Catholics and some Orthodox continually argue that Protestants accept the "apostolic traditions" of the NT canon. Does the labeling of writings which record hard to prove historical information or other non-fiction writings are all merely traditions that were written down?

    What does your faith teach about end times, ie: rapture, 1000 yr mil reign?

    . . . and all other established laws in our countries and states? A stop sign or speed limit sign have authority. A stop sign can't run us down and give us a ticket if we don't stop. A speed limit sign can not run us down and give us a ticket if we drive too fast? So, who cares? Why do we...

    So, why bother?

    Why did early christians bother with writing their teachings down if it was unnecessary? So, here, imply that the Gospel need not be preserved in written form, even imply that relying on God's word in writing does more harm than good. So, I ask, why was it ever written down and compiled into...

    Catholic Doctrine, Is it biblical?

    I know that the RC faith does not teach or believe in Sola Scriptura. But, I want to just clarify what this means. So, the question, does RCism consider all RC doctrine/dogma to be biblical? I will define biblical as doctrine found in Scripture/the Bible either explicitly or implicitly?

    The People of the Truth

    Has anybody ever heard of this group. They have moved it to our "one stop-sign, no stop light" little bitty town over the last years, buying up houses at above market prices. I mean people sold their houses and moved simply because they price offered was too much to turn down. The leader of...

    Attacking the Faiths of Others!

    Why do we feel that in order to validate our own beliefs or faiths, we must tear down or instill doubt in the faiths of others? I think this is a very sad thing we sometimes do to each other. :sorry:
