    The Joys of Catholicism

    You're a Seventh Day Adventist, no? idk, maybe. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    It's a non-bloody re-presentation of the sacrifice. And it's ontologically real, because Paul calls the Christian altar, the table of the Lord, from 1st Corinthians 10, a real altar. And so do the earliest Christian writings, it's a real altar, and that means the sacrifice is real too, that's...

    That's fair. And it's a good example of how Vincent of Lerins's test for Apostolicity would fare. Arianism is always presented as a branch of Christian theology which relies on the Scriptures, even modern Arians (JWs) always prove their claims with Scriptures. So according to Vincent...

    lol. I was trying to show that Vincent's first test, of his four-part test, was basically Sola Scriptura. First, check Scripture. It's totally Berean. Then and only then, does he provide three more steps, each crucial, and so it's in no particular order, this is what was going through my...

    Support Israel?

    "Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find ..." The United States. That's basically the goal anyway in my mind, if we can afford it. Is there injustice, suffering, and threats to liberty rn in...

    Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled in the Dispensation of Grace?

    Everything except for Alaska and Hawaii I think. Pretty big. If David's throne is the whole World's crown, and not just and exclusively the crown of Israel alone, then the whole World would be the same as the land of Israel. What you're calling the land of Israel, and what is called the land...

    They were scattered centuries earlier during the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. The 10 lost tribes were scattered. Corinth, Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, they all had communities from Palestine and they all contributed to the initial fairly wide spread of the earliest Church. There were...

    Have I gone MAD???

    At the end of the day the Berean method of examining the Scriptures to see if what someone says is true (up to and including an Apostle), is the Protestant Reformation, Lutheran (not the denomination but the man), Calvinist (not the branch of Christian theology but the man), Evangelical Sola...

    One reason, 1st Corinthians 1:23 “ But we preach Christ crucified ” Another is that an empty cross isn't actually the significant part, rather, it is the genre of art called "Pietà" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0 It's Our Lady holding the lifeless body of Christ, which has been...

    Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled in the Dispensation of Grace?

    Depends whether you believe Christ sat on David's throne. Every early church was started in or around synagogues established by the scattered descendants of Abraham. Still though, where is David's throne rn? Not in Israel.

    And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his...

    The Last Supper was a Passover celebration, and He, being our Passover (1st Corinthians 5:7), instituted the New Covenant Passover celebration, the Eucharist, and, while the Old Passover was celebrated once per year, the New Covenant celebration of the Passover is done each Sunday ("And upon the...

    Meaning Muslims for example can't licitly partake of the Eucharist, since they do not even believe that He died in the first place (the Quran says it was an illusion). Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is...

    Bear with me. In jiujitsu the idea is to say, break your opponent's knee. In order to do this, in order to break anything really efficiently, you need to first get good leverage, and next look to break the thing in the middle. iow you're not going to try to break the knee by grabbing the knee...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    No, but isn't that a category error? Why would you think otherwise? When the three thousand converted from Peter's sermon in early Acts, they were cut to the heart, was that a choice? or did God actually convert them, against their will?

    On the omniscience of God

    He doesn't just know what you think, in your head, in secret, in private thoughts and ruminations, He also knows your observable behavior. Even the diabolic know your observable behavior (because they want to exploit it), so why wouldn't God know your observable behavior? He knows both what's...

    Like in Isaiah, governments aren't going to matter here either: And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall...
