Am I that transparent? Maybe I have turned over a new leaf, and I was just being friendly and welcoming.

So the Bereans heard Paul’s preaching and then broke out a full set of the Gospel writings to see if what Paul was saying was true. Great.

For someone in desupernaturalised christianity it is hard to accept I know. But this is nothing compared to the many other spiritual events I have experienced. What I’ve come to realise is that for many people Scripture is still on the page, the events described in it are not part of their true...

If the Bereans were scripture alone, they would not even have listened to Paul who was giving them pure Apostolic Oral Tradition. They would not have even given ear to Paul at all. Protestants would have rejected Paul at this stage. The Bereans weren’t comparing Paul’s teaching to their copy of...

Well, comes with practice as with. Don’t tell me. Swedish and German Mausers, and 03 Springfields. Perhaps an Enfield or two. You don’t sound like an SKS or Nagant man, that buys by the crate. No, I really don’t. There is only one rule with hunting, always bring something home. Even if there...

Welcome mate. Gun range? Pistol? Rifle? Shotgun? Any hunting, fishing? Tea? Green, Black? Don’t say green. Sorry to hear it mate. :Frown I’ll say a Hail Mary and throw another shrimp on the barbie for you. No seriously, be good to have a Masters graduate debating in discussions, you have...

He is quoting Jesus. It’s quoting the same event, Jesus teaching the Apostles.

My real prayer life began with the Psalms. The Passion is the spiritual goldmine, nothing draws us so completely into contemplation, it engages our whole being. Time means nothing. And Holy Mother in her passion at the foot of the Cross, Jesus Flesh was of her flesh being sacrificed on the...

I know it because I saw it, I didn’t even know the baby had been Baptised a half hour earlier. I knew that Baptism was the only real thing that could explain what I was seeing. I asked the father of the baby, “ Has your son been baptised, he looks like he has been baptised ?“ and he was totally...

Actually it comes from a much older reference. “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain” Deuteronomy 25:4 It would have been common parlance by this time 5-6 centuries later, to say “ The labourer is worthy of his reward.” Jesus taught this Himself . “Don't take a traveling...

Proves my point, the Word of God was preached, the Spoken Word of God is what Timothy and everyone else was getting. That was the good deposit Timothy was to guard by the help of The Holy Spirit. Kinda proves “ Sola Scriptura “ wrong doesn’t it. There was no New Testament scripture. ‘For how...

The Church didn’t try to assassinate Luther “The Elector then protected Luther from the Pope's enforcement of the edict by faking a highway attack on Luther's way back to Wittenberg, abducting and then hiding him for several years at Wartburg Castle after the Diet of Worms. Luther's...

The first Bible aloners rejected the Apostolic Judges Jesus established. They took the Bible and made themselves judges of it, human founded judges interpreting countless human interpretations and conflicting doctrines of scripture. They preferred the traditions of men over the Apostolic...

"Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Jesus gave the Apostles Judgement over the people God, and they judge in their successors. This is why we...

The greatest preacher of the Early Church John Chrysostom tells us the power a priest possesses. I am talking regarding the forgiveness of sin itself, the lesser consideration is indulgences which is also their judgment. “Priests have received a power which God has given neither to angels nor...

It’s obvious you have gotten your history training from Jack Chick comics, and have done no real study. If you could quote contemporaneous evidence for your assertions you might have more credibility, as it is, it just seems like prejudice.

Rubbish. Corruption of some Italian clergy is no excuse to break from the Church. The binding and loosing Authority has been granted by Christ to the Church to forgive and retain sin, let alone adjudicate smaller matters of indulgences. Unlike Protestant churches which have no power to bind or...

It wasn’t the 27 New Testament Books Timothy was reading, they didn’t exist. The deposit was the Apostolic Oral Tradition which is guarded by The Holy Spirit and handed on in Truth.

“By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.” Was Paul talking about the 27 New Testament books to Timothy, was that the deposit entrusted to him ? No, it didn’t exist. It was the Apostolic preaching, the Spoken Word of God. The Holy Spirit guards the...

You sound like you are just venting your spleen. You aren’t presenting any history either. Donatists died out. They were a violent sect and Roman authorities had to deal with. Baptist’s Churches have gone extinct as well. But they face the other phenomena dispersal and scattering, “Men of...
