What do think of the claim that Josephus, in the first century, mentions Jesus in his work Antiquities of the Jews (c. AD 93-94) in a passage known as the Testimonium Flavianum? Apparently the passage refers to Jesus appearing alive again on the third day.

Anna is now added to our prayers. Pam is certainly cheering you on during this pilgrimage. Thanks for sharing this

I think my wife would love that too, EWF. Etsy & Ebay has become my 'go to' sites' for unique gifts. I want you to know my wife and I pray for you daily. I can't begin to imagine the grief you are dealing with.

Anglicans also joined in the dissent. In fact, one of their 39 Articles addressed this concern. I understand why for many years the Latin Rite practiced communion under one species. I am also glad the Latin Rite has dioceses which offer the option to receive from the sacred cup as well. As I...

You might want to edit your post to say that in SOME Catholic Churches the faithful receives communion under one species. Instead, you have made a statement which encompasses the whole Catholic Church. Did you read the article?

Also, notice in the article you posted the word 'when' 'referring to Eucharistis in which the cup is not available for sanitary reasons

Some parishes, usually in order to prevent the spread of sickness, give communion under one species. That hasn't needed to happen in my diocese. When you say 'Roman' Catholic, you are lumping all Rites of the Church into one. There is the Latin Rite which you are more familiar with and then MANY...

Again, the present practice by many, many Catholic diocese is to have communion offered under both species. I am Catholic, I go to mass and receive both the body and blood each day at mass whether I receive from the cup that is offered or only receive the host. Also, yes or no, are...

Where did you get the idea that only the priest receives the precious blood? We are offered the cup at each Eucharist. We are not obligated to receive from it but it is available. Also. Be careful not to lump the Catholic Church into being only the Latin Rite. Eastern Rites of the Holy...

Pope Benedict XVI taught: “Luther’s phrase ‘faith alone’ is true, if it is not opposed to faith in charity, in love. Faith is looking at Christ, entrusting oneself to Christ, being united to Christ, conformed to Christ, to his life. And the form, the life of Christ, is love; hence to believe is...

I think sometimes we are talking past each other and our position is not understood. Even the original Sola Fide Lutheran belief is not what you define as 'faith alone' as it includes a necessity of baptism. But, to answer your question, as Cathode points out, if "faith alone" is understood...

Again, check out the Joint Declaration On Justification agreed upon the by Lutherans and Catholics and signed onto by Anglicans and Methodists. You will learn a lot there also. If you look at the Church’s official documents—like the Decree on Justification from the Council of Trent in the 1500s...

You are the one avoiding questions. Why don't you address the point Cathode is making about salvation by way of intellectual assent 'alone'. I grew up in a Baptist church that pushed 'easy believism'. I watched the pastor's son being re-baptized multiple times because, as the pastor said...

No, we don't agree because John 6 and St. Paul makes it clear that it's not merely a memorial meal tacked on to the end of a service using a prepackaged wafer that tastes more like cardboard than it does bread and awful tasting grape juice. This, as described by the Catechism of the Catholic...

Dave, you mentioned J.D. Vance. I am interested in knowing more about his decision to convert to becoming Catholic. Its my understanding that he was raised in conservative evangelicalism, but became an atheist.

I appreciate your belief that Catholics don't worship 'anotherr Jesus' but I know that is not the position of many on this board. I have been told over the years on the BB that if I was truly saved I would eventually repent and 'come out of The Great Whore'. I can tell you now, I am more...

https://baptistnews.com/article/a-high-profile-conservative-southern-baptist-becomes-catholic/ Now, I am wondering. If you contend that Catholics worship 'anotherJesus', and that this man goes to his death as a Catholic (like so many evangelicals who find the truth about Christ's Holy...

Excellent! Thanks for posting this. I made a retreat at an Anglican monastery some years back. They followed 'The Daily Office' based on The Lectionary of The Book of Common Prayer. In the course of a month they 'prayed the entire Psalter' twice and most of the Bible was read through in a two...

And, neither was Melchizedek a pre-incarnate Christ (as I was taught at California Baptist University). Melchizedek is not a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus, but rather a historical personage who serves as a type or prefiguration of Christ. He is a priest-king of Salem (prace) who offers...

Exactly-Thessalonians 4:16 ("archangel's voice")—is rejected because “with an archangel's voice” implies a characteristic of the voice, not that Jesus is the archangel.
