    Who is your enemy?

    The accuser is often considered our adversary. The name Satan is commonly associated with this role. However, many individuals partake in the act of accusation, aiming to harm those they accuse. In my view, if we do have enemies, they are the ones who levy accusations against us.

    We don't deserve God's blessings

    If mercy were deserved, it would not be mercy; similarly, if grace were deserved, it would not be grace. Certain Bible translations employ the term "undeserved kindness" or an equivalent phrase to convey the concept of grace, serving as a useful reminder that grace is not earned. In my view...

    God Told Me

    If their assertion conflicts with a passage or multiple passages from the holy scriptures, inquire how they reconcile their claim with the revelations of the scriptures, citing the specific passages. This approach may provide insight into their perspective and future intentions.

    Don't pound the Law down on someone in despair!

    I agree with you that tub thumping laws and rules is a bad idea when helping someone who is depressed. The concept of Law and grace can be perplexing. Some evangelicals draw a stark contrast between the Old Covenant and the New, leading to the impression that the Law was negative and that the...

    Don't pound the Law down on someone in despair!

    How does a law/gospel distinction relate to The Joint Declaration Between the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation on the Doctrine of Justification?

    Something about Byzantine ...

    Catholic Dogma, which means Christian teaching, is defined by various documents produced by the Catholic Church over the past two thousand years (approximately). Here is a brief summary of the views expressed on Dogma across the Catholic Church's sui juris churches. First, I shall list the rites...

    kingdom of heaven

    It was produced (or published for sale) by whom? This is more widely used Once, the Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered, “The coming of the kingdom of God will not occur with signs that can be observed. 21 Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For...

    Do you believe that ...

    Do you believe that hating some person, or especially some group damages your soul. As an example, I will mention that many people who have YouTube channels devoted to debunking Jehovah's witnesses, most of these channels present facts and are run by individuals who seek to help former JWs or...

    What criticisms should we give our pastors?

    not among ourselves, but perhaps face to face with our pastor (priest in my case) but before offering a criticism take the time to talk with your priest and see what's behind whatever you think of as a fault.

    Christian growth

    Decreased judgementalism, increased wisdom and increased kindness. Growth in prayer life, growth in tolerance of differences. Loss of the need to be the centre of attention. Those are some of the things I've seen and like to see.

    The development of Doctrine

    I can't take these posts seriously. It's just repeating the weak semi-fundamentalist argument made before, without any attempt to deal with the difference between Dogmatic Statement and catechetical explanations. Have at it, @Josiah, see who you can convince by these remarkably bad arguments.

    The development of Doctrine

    Nonsense 😆 For example, the dogma of the immaculate conception is still exactly as it was when first committed to writing but explanation of the dogma and catechesis about it varies from nation to nation and from language to language. Thus, there is an abundance of modification but no change...

    The development of Doctrine

    Cardinal Gibbons wrote: But did not the Vatican Council in promulgating the definition of Papal Infallibility in 1870, create a new doctrine of revelation? And did not the Church thereby forfeit her glorious distinction of being always unchangeable in her teaching? The Council did not create a...
