    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    So you don't believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and rely on your own understanding to decide which parts have error and which parts are not. That is what I gather you are saying.

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    Then why would you say this "Actually, Jesus never stated those words so it’s a moot point trying to figure them out." Is the New Testament wrong or not? Is it accurate or Not?

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    I agree with this statement The whole meaning of the passage is this: “I will make you the honored instrument of making known my gospel first to Jews and Gentiles, and I will make you a firm and distinguished preacher in building my church.” I don't think anyone disputes that Peter was set...

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    Great, another person who thinks that the New Testament, in its current form, that was/is affirmed by a consensus of Christians throughout history, is wrong.

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    I am a catholic, because I'm part of the universal church. Which is made up of all who hold a genuine living faith in Christ. The reason there are denominations is because we are imperfect humans who only "see in a mirror dimly" 1 Cor 13:12: "For now we see only a reflection as in a...

    USA Thoughts on Biden pardoning Hunter?

    The Left is having a cow because now when Trump pardons anyone then Trump can say, "It is not as bad as Biden".

    Eating a Little crow

    It wouldn't shock me if he has health issues or dies within the next 4 years. He is an old man who is already past the median life span of men in the United States. The fact that he is overweight and in an extremely stressful job just increases the chances of major health issues.

    Have you all had enough of politics mixing into religion?

    I'm tired of Politicians claiming to be religious in order to pander for votes. I'm tired of Christians putting winning in politics ahead of making disciples and proclaiming the good news. Personally, I find politics fascinating. The strategies of campaigning and reason people vote why...

    Eating a Little crow

    I've made it clear that I'm a life long republican who is no fan of President Trump. However, I also said that if I lived in a swing state I would have held my nose and voted for him. Being in Alabama, it just wasn't worth standing in line for an hour, especially since everyone else on my...

    Early Voting

    My state doesn't have early voting. You can vote absentee but it isn't easy.

    I don't know what is worse

    Trump's bombastic, rambling, often factually wrong, and often mean spirited demeanor Or Kamala's whiny voice, creepy laughter, and inability to give a concise and coherent answer to the simplest questions.

    RCP Average

    No, I think for something to make a difference at this point it would have to be something extraordinary. Most people have already decided who they will vote for and those that haven't probably will not vote at all. Very few people make up their mind while standing in line to vote. What...

    RCP Average

    According to Real Clear Politics polling average on 10/1/2024 Harris has a 2.0 lead in the polling average, which is well within the margin of error for pretty much every poll. For context, on Oct 1st 2016 Hillary Clinton had a 2.7 lead in the polling average. More importantly, Trump is...

    Who will win, Trump or Harris?

    I don't know. Trump is going to get his 45%-47% no matter what he says or does. The question is how enthused Democrats are for a candidate they didn't pick? If enough Democrats shrug their shoulders and stay home then Trump will win. However it goes, I hope it is a landslide. I want it to...

    Trump Harris Debate?

    Well, none of us won, that is for sure. The "winner" of the debate is all about perception, not substance. I remember when George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton debated. People made a big deal because Bush kept looking at his watch, like he just wanted to get it over with. Clinton was...

    Trump Harris Debate?

    The problem is that a fairly large portion of the population base their vote on who gives them warm and fuzzy feelings. It is not impossible to win without being "likeable" but it sure helps. The two best candidates, as far as being a good candidate, in my lifetime were Reagan and Clinton...

    Trump Harris Debate?

    I started watching then had to turn it off because it was cringing so much at both of them. Whatever you think of Trump, you have to admit he is not a good communicator or debater. He lacks focus, misses opportunities, gets annoyed easily, and says some bizarre things. Even his stump speeches...

    Do Democrats fall in behind Kamala Harris?

    So far it is looking like a coronation of Kamala Harris as the Dem nominee. I wonder what the law is for this sort of thing. (update: apparently both Joe and Kamala's name are on the FEC paperwork so she can use the money already raised) Can one candidate just give their campaign funds to...

    Realistic Peace in Ukraine

    I saw that F-16's are now being delivered to Ukraine. I don't know why anyone expects a 50 year old fighter that is being phased out of the US Military to be a difference maker. Particularly with pilots who have had a few months of training. I also doubt the F-16's they are getting have the...
