Joshua 24:14-28 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye...
I do not think that Valdimir Putin and the Russian government wants to be free from bullying. They evidently want to bully Ukraine. They've already invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea. The hypersonic missiles are not a defensive system - as an antimissile system would be - but an offensive...
The entire expense of taking his degree was borne by the Elector, who conceived a very great liking for him (21). He was certainly a man of fine genius, a subtle reasoner, deeply read in the Schoolmen and Holy Fathers, but, even then, as Cochleus tells us, filled with vices proud, ambitious...
Such are the powerful reasons which convinced Luther. Frederick Staphil (17) relates a curious anecdote concerning this matter. Luther at one time, he says, endeavoured to exorcise a girl in Wittemberg, possessed by an evil spirit, but was so terrified that he tried to escape, both by the door...
No. Your numbers are grossly exaggerated. And no, Catholic Church bishops and priests were not the civil authority in England but under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I the King/Queen was the head of the "Church of England" and hence directly responsible for the persecution of Catholics and their...

I hasten to pass on to the Sacraments. None, none, not two, not one, O holy Christ, have they left. Their bread is poison; and as for their baptism, though it is still true baptism, nevertheless in their judgment it is nothing, it is not a wave of salvation, it is not a channel...
Paradoxes
EIGHTH REASON
PARADOXES
For myself, most excellent Sirs, when, choosing out of many heresies, I think over in my mind certain portentous errors of self-opinionated men, errors that it will be incumbent on me to refute, I should condemn myself of want of spirit and discernment if in...
It is interesting to see how people from other lands and other times regarded matters. Saint ALPHONSUS M. LIGUORI presents a Catholic perspective from the 18th century. And of course, modern scholars use sources such as these to gauge the meaning of authors and their opponents because these are...
You appear to have a magical view of context. You aver that quoting a longer passage somehow makes a specific verse cease to mean what it says as if by the magic incantation formed by the surrounding words the words in the specific verse cease to mean anything at all.
If you want context then...
A great contest at that time was going on in Germany, between the Rhetoricians and Theologians. The Rhetoricians upbraided the Theologians with their ignorance, and the barbarism of the terms they used. The Theologians, on the other hand, abused the Rhetoricians for the impropriety and...
China is one of the world's major creditor nations; the world owes money to China mainly because the whole world decided to buy their goods from China after deciding to have China manufacture almost everything.
In the end people will die, one way or another, because of bad governance by inept...
Yes, I have an opinion.
Now that Russia is in the hands of Valdimir Putin and the country is feeling confident and nationalistic.
They want weapons and capabilities that will make them a player on the world stage just like the USSR used to be.
So they have these new hypersonic missiles as a...
A wall to keep out south Americans and other Americans from Mexico southward?
Why not also a wall to keep Canadians out, a great north wall?
The USSR, when it still existed, built a kind of wall to keep western Europeans out and Eastern Europeans in.
Is that what Donald is aiming for?
Like...

THE BEGINNING AND PROGRESS OF THE LUTHERAN HERESY.

There is another thread containing reflections from a contemporary of the times when the Church of England became a protestant body with distinctly protestant doctrines.
It is called Anglicanism a reformation view for those who attempt to cast doubt on Anglican origins that thread may be...
History
SEVENTH REASON
HISTORY
Ancient History unveils the primitive face of the Church. To this I appeal. Certainly, the more ancient historians, whom our adversaries also habitually, consult, are enumerated pretty well as follows: Eusebius, Damasus, Jerome, Rufinus, Orosius, Socrates...
