Then, that's the world today. Think about it---what's the alternative? That God wills that men do not have the ability to reject Him, right? And all the evidence is inconsistent with that theory, so we know that theory is flatly, categorically, and in binary, false. So therefore its...

Wouldn't you say then, that it was God's will that there be just One undivided Church for near 1000 years? Because that is what actually happened.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one John 14:9 he that hath seen me hath seen the Father

Wanting to know, about the bishops: Who are these guys? Who made them who they are? Where did they learn all that they teach? All the answers are in the Scripture, if you'll only neglect your own tunnel-vision when you read it.

To know the history of the Church, how it all began, including of course the earthly ministry of Christ, but also the beginning of the Apostles' ministry in actually establishing the Church on earth, which occurred during their lifetime, many events having actually been recorded in Sacred...

Thanks for demonstrating that the US suffers from a dramatic murderer problem, that we have to do something about!

That appeal is as automatic in California as their electoral votes going for the Dem candidate in the presidential elections every four years is (exception only for Repubs whose name ends in Reagan).

I agree with your scriptural example, that this was a playing out of Matthew 18:17 Thumb. ==PS Also, your example definitely shows that the Apostles were concerned with the behavior of Christians, according to Paul here explicitly, how we behave should influence how we are treated by other...

Isn't the answer given in Matthew 18:17, "...if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican"? Aren't modern Israelis merely some of those who neglect to hear the Church?

And that we might participate in His divine nature, which we do in particular when we go to Mass in His Church, and licitly receive Him in Holy Communion. Go to Mass.

I agree, I think we lose something by using "you" for both singular and plural. Other languages retain this distinction, I think that it promotes ambiguity and confusion to have abandoned them.

I would just remind you of Matthew 18:17 where Christ teaches us, "...if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican." So the question is, how do we do that? Who is it who neglects to hear the Church? Who is the Church, and what does she say, such that...

I'm not someone who believes that God fails. The idea of Him failing is frankly preposterous. The notion that He could or that He might fail at whatever it is that He sets out to do is ridiculous. This is what Noncalvinists do not understand about Calvinists and Calvinism. It isn't just that...

I wouldn't mind a whole house battery, combine that with a natural gas generator for power outages and I wouldn't look back. But in all seriousness if you get a tip about obtaining some coal---China wants to hear from you.

China accepts your challenge!

For the intention of Grumix8 and his or her or neither his nor her mother and brother, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen

I would agree if the prayer of a righteous man is not powerful and does not accomplish much, but it does.

Untrue. Untrue. God chooses according to His good pleasure. The last part is Calvinism, the other stuff you just imported your own faulty notion of Calvinism. Where you say ordain and predestine, you do not mean what the Calvinists mean by those words, they simply mean choice. God has the...

If God doesn't will someone to perish, then He doesn't work to make that death happen, but what if He doesn't stop the death from occurring? Is He thereby guilty of the death anyway? The Calvinist and correct answer is no, of course not. God is not responsible for something coming to be if He...

Wow. I just read that. It amazes me how far away from such a simple principle that so many Catholics, including priests, seem to be. The simple principle is that the bishops' job is to transmit to us all that the Apostles taught, and they uniformly taught, captured in Scripture but also in...
