    The widow's mites.

    It's possible that the widow gave out of her poverty because she had been taught, by the scribes, to believe that giving a donation was giving to God in the hope of receiving a blessing from God. This would be akin to the widows and elderly poor who are taught to give to Kenneth Copeland in...

    Crux Theologorum: Why are Some Saved but Not Others?

    Mystery fills the soul when one stands before the Father's glory and realises how incomprehensibly deep and wide it is. God graces us with revelation and mercifully accommodates his revelation to our capacity. Grace to know God will lead me home is sufficient for me. I am content to leave the...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    It suffices me to believe that human beings have been graced with a will; it's freedom or lack of it is more like icing on a cake than a necessary part of being alive.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Good sir, do you think about forgiveness often, why it exists, why God calls us to exercise it, what it means, why we might need it? PS: I occurred to me that my post could be misunderstood as an oblique apology for alleged Church misbehaviour. Its intention is, however, not related to that...

    The widow's mites.

    There's a story told in Luke's gospel in chapter 21 that many read as a recommendation to give sacrificially to the church. Do you read it that way, or have you been taught to read it that way? Does the story encourage you to give? Well, here's a slightly different chapter division that may...

    There is one baptism.

    The baptism that Christ's taught the apostles to give, the one he commanded in Matthew 28:19-20, that is the one baptism, it is also the new birth in water and Spirit that the Lord explained to Nicodemus.

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    Pelagianism was decisively condemned at the Council of Carthage in 418 AD, and is still regarded as heretical by the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church. Unlimited atonement (sometimes called general atonement or universal atonement) is a doctrine in Protestant Christianity that is normally...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    These articles came about after Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church after he was excommunicated in 1533. Excommunication means that Henry VIII was thrown out of the church because he claimed he was the ultimate authority in his church. After breaking with the Pope, the head of...

    Divorce and Remarriage

    Some say that Jesus gave implicit support for divorce if one's partner was an adulterer. That may be so or it may not. The Catholic Church teaches now and has taught for many centuries that divorce followed by remarriage is adulterous as long as one's marriage partner lives.

    Crux Theologorum: Why are Some Saved but Not Others?

    Words you ought to live by and so deal with the matter I raised with you at least four times. The matter is this: "Being a Catholic I know that Gödel's theorem regarding incompleteness in the created universe of Mathematics has an analogy in the creation of which we are a part. Fundamentally...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    There is, really, it is a doctrine of some Arminian style Calvinists. More like "Atonement is reparation or expiation for sin" That is true and it is also irrelevant because, as far as this thread's participants are concerned, no one said that the whole world is reconciled to with God. It is...

    Crux Theologorum: Why are Some Saved but Not Others?

    No comments yet? The video has bad sound quality ... Persons A and B are kind of inert I am sure this could be said in less than 32 minutes. That's three comments ;) Why did the student body laugh when "hell" was said to be the destination of person B?
