    Praying/Gun Violence

    If you're interested in gun rights, remember that Someone greater than anyone who posts here said, "Those who take up the gun shall die by the gun." Or something like that.

    Life Origins & Science

    And you think that God speaks in the way human beings do? Are you saying there is NO universe? How about other galaxies? I will say what I've said before on this issue: How our uncreated God's timeless, boundless, and unmaterial "Fiat" becomes effective in the created universe of time...

    Fellowship The "Old Timers" Music Thread ...

    Life Origins & Science

    The earth can be only 6000 or so years old without stopping the universe from being much older. Both the Big Bang and Genesis 1:1 say the same thing: There was Nothing in the created universe, and then there was Something.

    I am Liberal what are you

    That's another reason I'm against capital punishment. I really think that most people, including me, are liberal in some things and conservative in others. Don't forget, there was a time that female suffrage was considered a liberal idea.

    Is God the greatest mass murderer ever?

    Try again. Jesus said in John 8, "Let the one without sin cast the first stone." Another reason I'm against capital punishment is that it is inimical to a pro-life ethic.

    Christianity and blood sacrifice

    Not true. The NT shows bishops, presbyters (elders), and deacons, as well as minor ministers: "helps and administration" in ST. Paul's words. The only Marian doctrine I discuss on line is the truth that her Son is indeed fully God and fully man in one and the same Person. This is a new idea...

    Do you support the Democrats trying to Impeach the President

    It's a big distraction from more important things. What do you think the grounds for impeaching Trump are? BTW--many people thing "impeachment" means removal from office. It isn't. In this case, it's the formal accusation by the House. The Senate then tries the President on the charges. It's...

    8th Place: A High School Girl’s Life After Transgender

    Imagine the shock and horror you would feel when suddenly what wasn't supposed to be there was, and was supposed to be there was missing. This is what transgender/transsexuals face every day of their lives. These people are the ones who have decisions to make and must bear the results of...

    Do you support the Democrats trying to Impeach the President

    I voted for Trump because i found him only slightly less obnoxious than Hillary. I still find him repulsive. But I don't think that his impeachment would be in the best interests of the nation.

    If Jesus wishes to show mercy, then you and I should, too.

    Christianity and blood sacrifice

    You realize that the Orthodox are not the only ones who believe in baptismal regeneration. Jean Chauvin, know to history as John Calvin, believed in Our Lady's perpetual virginity. Irenaeus of Lyons said the apostolic succession preserves purity of doctrine.
