If Protestants believe in "Sola Scriptura", then how can they ignore 2 Thessalonians 2:15? That conflicts with "Sola Scriptura", doesn't it? Where do Protestants find the "Sola Scriptura" in the Bible?

The New Testament did not do away with the Old Testament. Jews started the Christian Church. Jesus and the 12 Apostles were Jews. Tithing was started in the Old Testament so that the Jews would be reminded of where their wealth came from.

Thanks. The Catholic and Protestant versions of the 10 Commandments are a little different. This is how they are made up for Catholics: 1. “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.” 2. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” 3. “Remember to...

Things that happened in the Old testament were done in the New Testament to fulfill the Old Testament. The Jews passed through water for salvation from slavery. With Baptism, in the New Testament, those who are baptized are freed from the slavery of sin. In the Old Testament, men were...

613 laws were condensed in what we call the 10 Commandments. Jesus then broke the 10 into 2 commandments The 1st three of the 10 can be summarized as to "Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, mind, soul & strength" and the last 7 to "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" or "Do unto...

Catholics also believe in Tradition. Protestants believe in "Scriptura Sola", that is Scripture alone. I don't remember where the Bible passage for this is, but I remember that the speaker was talking about scripture from the torah and from oral tradition. After all, the Bible was not assembled...

There 613 laws (called the Mitzvot - see http://www.friendsofsabbath.org/Further_Research/Law%20of%20God/THE%20613%20LAWS%20of%20the%20OLD%20TESTAMENT.pdf)that were condensed into the 10 Commandments as we know them. Jesus did not come to counteract or change the Old testament, but He came to...

Dreadnot has the correct interpretation. Jesus was talking about little children. Even though it won't be their sin (they were innocent victims), they would feel guilty of committing a sin. Small children are innocent and treating them in a sinful manner is throwing an obstacle for them to find...

I think that we could think of ourselves as working for Jesus if we are true Christians. Christians must strive to live the Gospels and to be good examples of Christianity to everyone around us. As saint Francis of Assisi stated that we should teach the Gospel and if it becomes necessary, to...

I am having trouble getting e-Sword v10 modules to work in the new e-Sword v11. It seems that none of the Catholic version bibles, maps and illustrations, commentaries,etc. seem to work anymore.

The fact that you can recognize and accept your part in a sin is important to God. Not only must we acknowledge them, but we must be sorry for them and repent. We must strive to resist from sinning again. We have a propensity for sin because of Original Sin. Original Sin is a condition that we...

I believe that gambling in itself is not a sin. The Apostles drew lots (to select a replacement for Judas). It is sinful if it gets to the point where a person gambles to excess (to the point where his/her family will suffer) or if a person gambles away what he/she can['t afford to lose.

Actually, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and made a new covenant with all mankind. The 12 Apostles were Jews and they took place of the 12 leaders of the tribes in Israel from the Old Testament as leaders in the New Testament. They were the true original Apostles. Matthias replaced Judas as...

Even though you feel alone, God is always with you. To me, life is like a cave where you can get to a dark area where there is no light. If a person keeps their faith and trust in God, eventually you can start seeing a glimmer of light. Eventually you see light and an opening. You don't know how...

If you look at Biblical History, God has not chosen perfect people to lead a country. Some of the Judges, Samson, King Saul,King Solomon, etc had many flaws. They fulfilled God's plan. Who am I to question it. We need to trust in God. Hilary, Obama and the Democratic leadership are the...

Christmas comes from Christ's Mass. It has been celebrated since 354 AD on December 25th was a date selected by Pope Julius I using the Julian calendar. Before this date, it was celebrated on January 6th to celebrate the visit by the Magi. Along the way, Pagan symbols were incorporated after...

I think idolatry is replacing our priorities and centering our lives for worldly things that replace our priorities for God and doing His Will (serving Him). We serve God when we do good. We can not serve God if we do not serve each other. After all, man is created in the Image of God and God...
