    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    I see! Sorry that was lost on me! :( I've had him on ignore for a week or so now. All I've seen from him mostly is stuff I catch when someone I don't have on ignore quotes him. I used to be able to tolerate his sort but I now I have to take people like him in small dozes. Otherwise, I tend to...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    He is literally a lunatic. He simply does not care if what he believes and says has any relationship with documented history, actual reality or anything related to rationality or even common sense. Discussing religion with Serpent1 is the intellectual equivalent to discussing biology with Jack...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    There is a particular kind of ignorance that parades itself as insight, especially when it comes wrapped in conspiracy theories about Bible corruption. Our resident One Pentecostal asserts that “Catholicism altered the Bible in the 4th century to fit their false council teachings,” and that the...

    Immutable = Amoral

    Posting the OP was premature. It was incomplete. Here is a revised version that more completely makes the argument... What is morality? Morality is a code of values to guide one’s choices and actions, the choices and actions that determine the purpose and the course of his life. To speak...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    Goofy stupidity. We still have the text in its original language and it's been translated hundreds of times in hundreds of different languages by scores of different sets of people for as many different reasons. It has been preserved - by God - in such a way as the corruption you suggest...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    Your Oneness Pentecostalism is showing, and it’s not a good look. This kind of hyper-suspicious, revisionist nonsense is textbook cult mentality. The idea that true Christianity vanished after the apostles and magically re-emerged with your group isn’t just arrogant, it’s embarrassingly idiotic...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    Yes it is. The first three sentences are true. The rest is more or less made up nonsense that ignores whole swaths of scripture. The solitary fact anyone needs to know to explode what you've said here into dust is simply that the Body of Christ and Israel are not the same thing. Entirely...

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    This is a false - and quite Catholic - manner of INTERPRETING this passage. The fact of the matter is that it is not even possible to read without interpreting what you've read. That's how language works. The very act of reading it is the act of interpreting the text. Peter is not saying that...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    Your counter argument is literal blasphemy, Idolater! Jesus' death had first person witnesses that people actually interacted with and knew the character of. Both Jesus' death and resurrection were attested to, not merely by those who stood to benefit from it, but from many who had no direct...

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    In what way does the phrase "interpret the bible" equate with "what you want it to say"? You seem to be conflating "interpretation" with "distortion". To study the Bible is to interpret it. The very act of reading a text and trying to understand its meaning in context, what the author...

    This idiotic claim is false by Catholicism's OWN standard! Just one of 551,217 examples.... Scripture (affirmed by Catholicism as God's Word): Catholic Doctrine (Council of Trent, Canon 9):

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    All theology is philosophy. Theology is merely a branch of philosophy. Christian theology is Christian philosophy and vise-versa. Letting God speak for Himself through scripture is a philosophical stance. This may seem like a semantic point, and in this particular forum, especially in any...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    I just showed you PROOF otherwise, Nick, including from Paul's own writing. Look at the passage you yourself just cited. The eight words that immediately precede the verse you quoted.... "sin is not imputed when there is no law. " God is just. That is all you need know in order to toss...

    Immutable = Amoral

    (See revised version of this post in post #3) What is morality, (or ethics)? A code of values to guide one's choices and actions, the choices and actions that determine the purpose and the course of his life. To speak meaningfully of “value", one must first understand what a value is. A value...

    Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

    You highlight the wrong portion of that verse. Romans 5:18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. The doctrine of Original sin is...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    Those old Fátima photos don't even count as evidence, by the way! The Cottingley Fairy photos, which were completely fake, were taken the same year as the Fátima photos, 1917! Two girls used paper cutouts and completely fooled the public. Even Arthur Conan Doyle believed them! At the time...
