    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Please excuse my edit of your post. I edited it so that I can reply without being identified with the "you" that is the object of the ire in your post (which I edited out). I want to deal with the issue that you raised while avoiding entanglement in the dispute with another member of CH. There...

    Water Baptism

    That's not an easy question to answer well. There is a simple superficial answer that is "there are more because it is a much older position and more people are born into it because it has been around for so long" which amounts to "tradition" in either a positive sense (holy tradition) or a...

    The Last Supper

    Albion is right, Catholics and Orthodox too see symbolism as well as the real presence and despite explanations current in Catholic Dogma (such as the aptness of the word Transubstantiation for whatever unseen and undetectable change occurs in the bread and the wine to cause them to be rightly...

    The Last Supper

    Note: Nisan 14 is the day when leaven was removed from the houses of Israel and so would be "the first day of unleavened bread" and the lamb was sacrificed on that day and the Passover meal eaten at night, which is the following day being the "second day of unleavened bread". It is helpful to...

    And 1,300 million Catholics. Maybe 300 million orthodox, and another 50 or so million Oriental Orthodox. It gets so complicated when theology is based on demographics.

    The Last Supper

    Honestly I am well aware of the difficulty with chronological differences between the three synoptic gospels and the gospel according to saint John, even the early church fathers were aware of it so there's always been some difficulty about when the last supper occurred, my tradition favours the...

    Impeach him now

    But USA people (Americans as you call them) did not elect Donald the electoral college did and it did so despite his loss of the popular vote by around three million votes so yes. let's judge his validity as POTUS and let's inspect his behaviour as POTUS and not withhold impeachment and...

    Impeach him now

    Donald (the POTUS) lies frequently, says absurd things habitually, stands for bad policy, obstructed justice, claimed that he "grabbed women by the <insert crudity here>", divorced and remarried twice now being with his third civil marriage spouse, shows signs of mental deterioration, offers...

    Bacon

    I use what is called "short cut rindless bacon" here and that USA people seem to call "Canadian Bacon". So that has very little fat on it. But sometimes a rasher of normal fairly fatty bacon fried to crispness is nice.

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    I only quote the catechism when asked for Catholic teaching or when an alleged Catholic teaching in another person's posts is incorrect. And I occasionally start a thread with material from a Catholic source or history or something that gained my attention. But when people are willing to engage...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    Saint John's gospel implies that the Lord was crucified as the Passover lamb was sacrificed and that inevitably means that the last supper - happening as it is claimed in the synoptic gospels the night before his crucifixion - could not possibly be a Passover meal. Passing over the disrespect...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    What a boon it would be if you also discussed what holy scripture says instead of offering a wall of disconnected texts bereft of context and apparently forming a thematic study according to your theological tradition but not according to mine.

    Water Baptism

    When the Lord says "born of water and the Spirit" he is referencing baptism even if you pretend otherwise. John 3:5 You do not know the scriptures so you err in what you write in your posts. The Lord teaches through the letter of saint Peter that water is most definitely involved in salvation...

    Water Baptism

    The holy scriptures affirm salvation by baptism; the Lord Jesus Christ affirms salvation by being born of water and the Spirit. It is your posts and the peculiar theology contained in them that sends people into error and the risk of condemnation at the last judgement.

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    And finally Albert Barnes concludes his discussion of verse 14 ... I answer, (a.) In the same way as to provide medicine for all, proves that all are sick, or liable to be sick; and to offer pardon to all who are in a prison, proves that all there are guilty. What insult is it to offer...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    Continuing Albert Barnes remarks, for those interested, and maybe for the benefit of Mennosota The argument in favour of the general atonement, from this passage, consists in the following points: (1.) That Paul assumes this as a matter that was well known, indisputable, and universally...

    My sentiments exactly, about your reply. But I will spell it out; I got a chuckle from your rant. But I will not give your post a "like" because my chuckle was not because of your post being funny. It was because the argument in it was absurd as so many arguments in your posts are. What...

    You poor chap, your posts are pope obsessed. Repent and believe the gospel. Stop ranting about popes, I never do. By the way, I think your denomination/religion leaders are likely to be rubbish :P :smirk: PS: impeach that devil Donald now before your land is laid waste in the last plagues on...
