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...

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...

And Mrs. Noah.

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?

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...

Question was really more about where is He going to sit if He returns today? He's not going to be Prime Minister, He's going to be King, and where is David's throne? Modern Israel is a constitutional republic, and not even a constitutional monarchy with a figurehead throne, there is no throne...

So with a constitutional government, if Jesus returns, where is the throne of David that He's going to sit on and reign from? Constitutional governments don't have a real crown, if they even have one at all, they are figureheads; and Israel the modern nation governed by a constitutional regime...

Israel today is a constitutional government, ancient Israel was an absolute monarchy.

He didn't say anything other than that God can be recognized by everybody, even non-Catholics outside of Roman Catholicism, which is in fact the Church in the Bible. You don't have to be in the Church in the Bible, to recognize God, but the fullness of your faith is in Roman Catholicism...

First Clement, the Didache, the epistles of Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, these are all first and second century. If you're concerned about corruption and accretion later on then look at all these primary sources, it's all public domain.

Right? I mean you don't think you're saved if you first believe the Gospel and then stop believing it, right? It only counts if you believe it, right? You don't think someone only needs to believe it once, just for an instant, and then go back to not believing it, and it's all OK because...

Great pistol. Tough to beat with a full capacity supply of mags, the 1911 8-rounders are going to lose in an all out fire fight due to reloading more frequently, but really why are we having a fire fight with pistols anyway? We need our standard issue service rifles for a proper fire fight.

Glock leg. All I was saying is, there's no such thing as "1911 leg" and there's a reason why. But again if we're in theater, then risking Glock leg is probably worth it, but maybe it's not when we're at peace rn. But again again, I'm not going to think anybody's wrong to wear a Glock or even...
