Resurrection of the dead and reincarnation are not part of the same elephant.

I am not sure what you are, but labels are not important compared to what is in your heart. Carnal men love labels and like to ask if you are a follower of Paul, Peter, Jesus, Athanasius, Arius, etc. God is the source, and Jesus is the image of God. An image comes from a source. An image is not the source. God is the source because he is the…[Read more]

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,19:58)Here you are 2,000 years after the fact.  Koine Greek is not your native tongue.  Yet you presume to be an authority on it's tenses and meanings.  Yet you not only reject the apostles of the first century.  You have the gall to reject the fathers of the church who also spoke this language.  I don&…[Read more]

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,20:00)You would do well to keep in mind that the Catholic/Universal faith was the only Christian faith there was.  Thus the title “universal.”  The universal/catholic church and the Roman Universal/Catholic church are not the same thing.

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,10:54)The recognition of the Catholic Church as the one Christ established was so strong—given its centuries of existence, its ubiquity in Europe, and the absence of any plausible rival in tracing its roots back to Christ—that it created severe cognitive dissonance that Protestant leaders had to find way…[Read more]

Quote (thethinker @ Sep. 15 2009,07:30)CA,I checked it out and it's real good. The owner of this site (t8) believes that “God” in John 1:1c should be understood qualitatively. He thinks that this disproves trinitarianism when actually it establishes the trinitarian doctrine.thinkerJohn 6:70Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve?…[Read more]

Quote (thethinker @ Sep. 18 2009,11:39)CA,I was not aware that the Catholics were such excellent trinitarian apologists. I am happy to learn that such good apologists are out there.thinkerThinker, They defined the doctrine, so it should be a given that they are best at defending it.

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,13:44)I'm embarrassed for you that I have to spell this out. You must have never read this passage.

Good question. Was Mary 3.5 years in the wilderness?

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,06:37)No, we don't know that this is Israel.  It was Mary who gave birth to Jesus Christ.  She is the “woman” of Gen. 3:15.  She through her Son crushed the head of the serpent.  We must see this passage in light of salvation history from beginning to end.  So you must take the advice of the fathers and look…[Read more]

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 18 2009,06:37)But at the same time God's goal is not to confuse us. In a book of this nature, these things are spiritually discerned. Not only does the church's interpretation make the most sense, but we must also consider that it was to her that these things were written.God is not the author of confusion, but he…[Read more]
