Discipleship is essential to any church in the business of following Jesus and there are those who might argue that baptism and communion don't necessarily need to take place in a gathering of a church body. To me, when Jesus said baptize and observe His supper they weren't suggestions. When...

The difficulty I have always had with Quakers is they do not observe either communion or baptism. Or, at least most do not observe them as ordinances. Also, there's are Quakers (Friends) churches which are every bit as liberal as the denominations in decline you mentioned and others that are...

Well, Cathode is having tech problems logging on to the BB, so until that is resolved you only have one Catholic to kick around for a while, lol. Here is a Catholic answers perspective about two stories that seem contradictory: Matthew's Gospel (Joseph's Perspective) Key Figures: Joseph...

Why do you suppose that this particular forum exists. It is an 'other denominations/other Christians forum'. The purpose is to discuss our various doctrines and hopefully learn from each other. I appreciate your respect for the list of Catholics in your post. I always appreciate your...

I have been on a plant based diet for a year. I have lost 32 lbs as a result and have much more energy than I had when I was overweight. Sounds like what you are doing is helping. God's got this. Prayed for you BTW, if there's a Planet Fitness in your area you might consider a daily light...

Relax, if we are wrong, it will eventually be sorted out. AND, if you are in fact who you claim to be I will be the first to apologize. We are imperfect beings and all fall short. If this is the case, we will know soon enough. As another member said, it would not be the first time and the BB...

Are you aware he is lying about joining the board and posting while Mur was still on the board?

You said 'Mur was posting before I joined and AFTER'. That's a blatant LIE! Mur was banned weeks before you joined.

No, you said you were a member here and posting here before he was banned. Now, I can read posts from people banned years ago. Doesn't place me on the board at the same time. You are looking and sounding more and more like 'Mur'. Your true colors are showi

Does this clarify what Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox and many Anglicans believe? One Divine Person: Jesus is one divine person, not two separate persons (God and man). Person, Not Nature: Mary is the mother of the divine person, Jesus, not the source of His eternal divine nature. Theotokos...

Well, the title Theotokos' only became necessary to combat the heresy of Nestorianism. I respect your opinion, however, and know how many Baptists object to the title 'Mother of God'.

You are correct. Over the years we have watched multiple banned members reappear using a different name and IP address. They eventually are exposed. I know, despite his claims, that easternstar wasn't a member before Mur was banned and he seems to have similar focus. He has made several...

Hi Charlie: No, being blessed and 'highly favored' or 'full of grace' is very significant, however. Let's take a closer look at this. And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Please consider what another Catholic being asked a very similar question and how...

You lied when you said you joined the board before Mur was banned. Did you think nobody would check?

He was born fully man and fully God. No one is saying Mary created Christ's Diety. He is the Alpha and Omega. She did give birth to the Christ child who was fully God at birth. Period. Are you saying Mary was only the Mother of the human Jesus? That's Nestorianism.

Mur was banned in the beginning of November but Easternstar joined on November 19th, I suspect using a different IP address. I believe he learned from what got him banned before. Mur did not hesitate to post lies. And, I am not talking about theological differences, I am talking about...

Mur was banned long before you joined, so you are posting untrue statements. BTW, Mur posted personal attacks just like you are beginning to do. Can you show us a post by Mur AFTER you joined. If so, I will gladly apologize. I have made mistakes in the past and I am always ready to admit to it.

IP'S don't match but easy to use a different IP. He sounds very similar and I guess time will tell. If I become convinced he isn't pulling the same game other previously banned members have pulled, I will apologize. Presently, I smell a rat.

Exactly! If you'd been a member before you were banned as Mur you'd have a leg to stand on. When it quacks like duck . . . You have altered some of your positions somewhat to become a little more of a skeptic instead of an outright universalist. You told me in a post you weren't sure if you...
