    The Joys of Catholicism

    Bear with me. In jiujitsu the idea is to say, break your opponent's knee. In order to do this, in order to break anything really efficiently, you need to first get good leverage, and next look to break the thing in the middle. iow you're not going to try to break the knee by grabbing the knee...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    No, but isn't that a category error? Why would you think otherwise? When the three thousand converted from Peter's sermon in early Acts, they were cut to the heart, was that a choice? or did God actually convert them, against their will?

    On the omniscience of God

    He doesn't just know what you think, in your head, in secret, in private thoughts and ruminations, He also knows your observable behavior. Even the diabolic know your observable behavior (because they want to exploit it), so why wouldn't God know your observable behavior? He knows both what's...

    Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled in the Dispensation of Grace?

    Like in Isaiah, governments aren't going to matter here either: And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall...

    Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled in the Dispensation of Grace?

    Question was really more about where is He going to sit if He returns today? He's not going to be Prime Minister, He's going to be King, and where is David's throne? Modern Israel is a constitutional republic, and not even a constitutional monarchy with a figurehead throne, there is no throne...

    Is Prophecy Being Fulfilled in the Dispensation of Grace?

    So with a constitutional government, if Jesus returns, where is the throne of David that He's going to sit on and reign from? Constitutional governments don't have a real crown, if they even have one at all, they are figureheads; and Israel the modern nation governed by a constitutional regime...

    The Devil The Deceiver

    He didn't say anything other than that God can be recognized by everybody, even non-Catholics outside of Roman Catholicism, which is in fact the Church in the Bible. You don't have to be in the Church in the Bible, to recognize God, but the fullness of your faith is in Roman Catholicism...

    The Devil The Deceiver

    First Clement, the Didache, the epistles of Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, these are all first and second century. If you're concerned about corruption and accretion later on then look at all these primary sources, it's all public domain.

    The Plot by Bob Enyart

    Right? I mean you don't think you're saved if you first believe the Gospel and then stop believing it, right? It only counts if you believe it, right? You don't think someone only needs to believe it once, just for an instant, and then go back to not believing it, and it's all OK because...

    Guns!

    Great pistol. Tough to beat with a full capacity supply of mags, the 1911 8-rounders are going to lose in an all out fire fight due to reloading more frequently, but really why are we having a fire fight with pistols anyway? We need our standard issue service rifles for a proper fire fight.

    Guns!

    Glock leg. All I was saying is, there's no such thing as "1911 leg" and there's a reason why. But again if we're in theater, then risking Glock leg is probably worth it, but maybe it's not when we're at peace rn. But again again, I'm not going to think anybody's wrong to wear a Glock or even...

    The Plot by Bob Enyart

    No, not the way you mean it. I think you can "sin your way out of salvation" if you drop the faith, for sure, but it's not because you "sin your way out of salvation", it's because you dropped the faith. Absolutely it's impossible for a bona fide authentic Christian to sin their way out of...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Sure. The Old Law. Moses's law. The one with circumcision made by hands. We are under the law of Christ. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    They excluded it from their canon after the Church had authenticated it as ours. Their excuse was the same one Luther used, because they were all originally written in Greek instead of Hebrew. But the real reason is jealously. If the Church didn't exist then those books would still be Jewish...

    The Devil The Deceiver

    Right, "through the grace", the dispensation of grace, the New Covenant, John 1 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of...

    The Devil The Deceiver

    That has been fulfilled since Christ gave His throne to Peter and the Apostles for safe keeping. That is a fulfilled prophecy, being fulfilled every day, it's not only something that is already done, it's also always being done. Unlike the earlier days of the throne of David, which disappeared...

    The Plot by Bob Enyart

    At each Mass we say together, "For our sake He was crucified." Later on the celebrant holds the Eucharist and says, "Behold the Lamb of God, behold He Who takes away the sins of the World."
