Without the creeds that arose in history under God's guidance and under God's shaping of events of those times and through to today we would almost without doubt have different creeds that may well have been similar to what we have or possibly, in a whole different sort of universe, be erroneous...

W What didn't you understand in my previous post? Please cease posting this kind of rubbish to me.

External SSDs work quite well. But you will not be able to move to Windows 11 if the laptop doesn't have a UEFI. But you can install Windows 11 by means of a bit of trickery anyway, so maybe it does not matter too much.

I thought that many from protestant evangelical backgrounds would not miss the creeds were they gone, though their churches are still built upon the creeds to a considerable extent and many doctrines received in those churches have their most careful expression in the creeds; many Statements of...

Thank you for replying to what was raised in the original post and subsequent posts. I feel better with a reply that is on topic by someone who appears to have a legitimate point to make. Marcion of Sinope, disputed the canon, he regarded YHWH as the vengeful god of the old testament, the...

As usual your post misses the point in order to twist the point into something that serves your purposes. The subject was the creeds and also the interesting of a lack of creedal definition of authority as far as scripture and the Church go; specifically the authority of the scriptures as they...

Okay, you keep your war going and use whatever inflammatory language you like to denigrate Catholicism; but I shall regard your posts as toxic whenever they contain the kind of language you use in the post I objected to. It is not really beneficial to have discussions that turn so quickly into a...

How interesting your reply is; to me it means that the Church (Catholic Church that your posts so often denigrate, as the above does) never bothered to define authority precisely because no one had thought to make it matter of debate because all Christians within the Catholic Church of that time...

Interesting isn't it? I think that the 16th century protestant confessions of faith always define authority, as if it were important to them, but evidently it wasn't so with the creeds and their writers. Could that be because no one had created a difference in the community about it back then...

Read the Creeds, tell me what you see. How do the Creeds define authority?

Catholics anoint with oil. It is a part of several sacraments; baptism, confirmation, ordination, marriage, last rites.

There's a movement, it seems, of Protestants into Orthodox churches. There's also a demand for KJV + Apocrypha. The following Video gives testimony to the movement into Orthodoxy.

Catholic Truth Society's - NEW CATHOLIC BIBLE - it's a modified Jerusalem Bible, the modifications bring it into exact conformity with the readings in the lectionary.

A LINOVO P11 Pro Tablet arrived in the mail on Monday. I spent Time on Tuesday setting it up, copying files from the Teclast T30. On Wednesday I factory reset the T30 and started to set it up for my brother. His birthday is soon, so I said he can have the T30 as a gift. We do not exchange...

Anointing is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, whose anointing of Jesus as Messiah fulfilled the prophesies of the Old Testament. Christ (in Hebrew, Messiah) means the one anointed by the Holy Spirit. Anointing is also the sacramental sign of confirmation, called Chrismation in the Churches of the...

What is ordination, do you think? And anointing? [Edit: oops, wrong place, this should be in Theology]

One day, brother Josiah, you'll stop doing that little . several lines down from the end of your text! And yes we would miss them. More dearly than many might think. Without them the floodgates for many ancient heresies are opened, as we see in some religious groups today, such as Jehovah's...

The new MiniPC arrived on Monday last week. I installed Windows 11 Pro on it; a reinstall really, to overwrite the Windows 11 Pro that came from the factory. A clean install with only the software I want and the drivers needed for the device is better in my opinion. Now it has all the...

The ancient churches authored and preserved the creeds that are accepted by nearly all Christians; such as the Nicene creed, the apostle's creed, the formula of Chalcedon, and others. Would you miss them if they were all gone?

I agree that there is a harsh note from some when they describe what they think about Catholics and Catholicism. But what can one do about it? When encountered a gentle correction is worthwhile, but if that is rebuked then a timely and gracious withdrawal may be the best ting to do. God bless.
