I find your answer evasive and I am referring you to committee for further scrutiny.

Got to stop you there John. All the Church Fathers writings from the first century onwards only come down to us from the lineage in the Catholic Church, which means they were all Catholic. One, Catholic, Apostolic Church. These same Catholic sources are the ones that preserved the scriptures...

Are you or have you ever been a sympathiser with members of the Baptist Board?

Am I, or have I ever been the owner of the Baptist Board? No. I am not the sole or partial owner of the Baptist Board. By process of elimination, count me off.

Mate, all you need for all your fish processing is the Dexter extreme dual edge. I love it. The beauty is you can reverse the blade and use the serrated clip point to cut through the rib bones without blunting your main edge. It was game changer for me, and I used the Japanese Deba for...

I have been using buck knives a lot, it’s an American brand, before they went way up in price I bought a stack. Really excellent steel treatment, turns simple 420 into an amazing knife blade. Knife performance to me is ease of sharpening and I just strop the blade on the thousand grit water...

I just said he could, a married Anglican priest convert could become a Catholic priest. Same if a married Orthodox priest became Catholic.

No, priests are Celibate, it comes with the job description. Married Anglican priests that become Catholic priests, when their wives die, they can’t remarry. Husband of one wife.

I didn’t say all Protestants interpret it this way. Gentiles knew polygamy was off the table just by becoming Christian, let alone being a later candidate for bishop or elder. Your idea doesn’t make sense Jon. Many in the Early Church clergy practiced continent marriages after ordination...

There were bishops that tried creating family dynasties and pass on to their sons the bishoprics they held, and many times by paying money for them. Money no doubt stolen from their original purpose. The Catholic Church was plagued by massive corruption, greed, stupidity, evilly ambitious...

Catholics had married clergy for a long time, until there was problems of simony and other complications. So they decided to take Paul’s suggestion more seriously and have unmarried clergy across the board to save all the hassles at an individual and Church wide level.

Apparently he was, because he had a mother in law.

If we look at the ancient Church practice, this meant that a priest could only be married once. If his wife died, he could not remarry. He was expected to remain celibate thereafter. This was meant to reflect Christ’s fidelity to His one Bride the Church. This ancient practice of the Apostolic...

This why we hold Mary in such honour, and she is enormously powerful. Most blessed, most Holy of all women. The greatest creature God ever made. Mary is the key to understanding Jesus properly. She knew Jesus better than anyone who ever existed.

An M14 is more military, the civilian versions are semi autos. I try keep my setups simple going bush. A good light bolt gun or double barrel shotgun, not much can go wrong. Semi autos are more for knocking down herds of something, pigs and camels etc. Pest control. But if you are going bush...

To be deep in Scripture is to cease to be Protestant. I’ve seen Bible alonism’s main problem is contemplation deficiency, they don’t go deep enough into the scripture.

Then it’s just kit your rifle out with a good sling, a sling that assists your shooting accuracy. You owe it to your animal when hunting to take a steady shot. Wounded animals isn’t cool. And a stock pouch. Carry a pull through, patches, rag, solvent and oil, dry lube, sawn off toothbrush...

You can go for the more compact light weight hunting rifles like the Remington Model 7 or the scout rifle configuration if you staying at shortish hunting ranges.

A long range rifle? No. I’m a hunter. The most I’ll shoot to is 450-500 metres. That’s varminting pest control. I have shot with experimental cartridge guys and had fun shooting past 1000m on paper, but at those ranges, hunting isn’t feasible for the areas I’m in. If I was in the mountains...
