    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    The weaponisation of scripture through the drawing out of particular passages which suit one's agenda only works against Protestants - we know that we are to hate sin, and admonish the sinner. That said, you'll notice that I have placed most of the blame upon the parents. The poor moral...

    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    The parents of these "Christian" children have, whether willingly or not, failed to instil in their children a reverence for the sanctity of the marital act, and a disgust for promiscuity. These teenagers have been failed in the home, and as a result, have been corrupted by the world and its...

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    Christ is the founder, centre, and head of the Church. The Successor of Peter is His vicar, leading the visible, worldly element of the Church, as its servant.

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    You're obviously angry at the idea of being labelled. We recognise that the Successor of Peter is the head of the visible Church, but not the head of the Church - that is Christ.

    Then why be upset?

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    The very title of 'Protestant' indicates the core of its meaning: A Protestant is someone who protests against the supremacy of the Roman Church. With the exception of the Eastern Orthodox and Coptics, yeah I'd say you're right - to be Protestant is simply to be non-Catholic. Whether you embrace...

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    Do you desire to have Christ in your life and work towards attaining this, but are outside of the apostolic Church(es)? If so, you are a Protestant.

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    It is not necessary, but it is highly beneficial to that person. Reason of the faith is almost as important as the content of the faith.. All that is required for one to become a Christian is to recognise the fundamental truths of the faith (that is, to profess the Nicean Creed), and to be...

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    By virtue of rejecting this fundamental, dogmatic element of Catholic faith, you are no more Catholic than a militant atheist. One either holds the Catholic faith in full, or he does not hold it at all. "Such is the nature of the Catholic faith that it does not admit of more or less, but must...

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    I'm not even going to bother addressing your error in regards to the necessity of the Catholic religion to salvation - I'm instead going to go right ahead and ask 'what the hell is a "Catholic Non-Trinitarian"?' The Ecclesia does not claim, and never has claimed, and never will claim, that She...

    Is Catholicism a true religion

    Heresy is the worst of all sins; it damns the self, and scandalises others who are corrupted by deviant ideas. In such laid-back times as these, there is no reason not to properly inform catechumens in the faith before confirming them. It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about...

    Homosexuality and Homosexual Marriages: Why do Christians Care?

    Oh, please don't think I'm interested in trying to convince you. I doubt that I ever will. Nor, I assure you, will you ever convince me to recant, so I'm not going to waste my afternoon bothering. I'm just stating it as it is in response to the OP for the sake of satisfying your curiosity...

    Homosexuality and Homosexual Marriages: Why do Christians Care?

    I assure you that my hatred for sexual deviancy is motivated as much by politics as religion. Necessarily, the matter of marriage is a part of this. That said, you've asked for the Christian perspective. There it is. Why you'd then complain about it constituting 'religious baggage' (whatever...

    Homosexuality and Homosexual Marriages: Why do Christians Care?

    Religiously, marriage is a holy thing. To say that it can be participated in by any two people other than a male and a female is sacrilege. Politically, homosexuality is intolerable; to say that even civil unions can or should be allowed in law is to offer concession to it, and to dignify it as...

    Is Jesus Christ true man AND true God?

    He is certainly man -- he prayed, he suffered, he was tempted. We also know for certain that He is God in a complete sense; He is true God and true man. (John 1:1-14): 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3...

    When does Scripture point too as being the "day of the Lord"?

    Now you sound like one of our ("our") Protestants. You're basically one and the same anyway, so I'm not overly surprised.

    When does Scripture point too as being the "day of the Lord"?

    'Israel' refers to God's nation; it refers to Christendom. The Jews are no longer Israel.

    When does Scripture point too as being the "day of the Lord"?

    Our Lord has hidden two things from us: 1. How many are to be saved in the end. 2. When the apocalypse will take place. We simply cannot possibly know. Also, 'Israel' can never be taken to refer to the state of Israel; 'Israel' refers to Christendom -- it does not the Jewish state, nor the...

    Is this the part where I get to say that libertarians are little better than communists?
