    USA Keep Religion Out of Public School

    Religion is in everything. It's in politics already. It's in philosophy and in science and in every human enterprise. It can't be avoided and I think it should not be avoided but I also think that one specific religion ought not to be in control of public discourse. Even in a place like CH it...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    One man who I sponsored in his RCIA journey into the Catholic Church came from a Missionary Alliance background. He mentioned unity as his primary reason for becoming a Catholic even though he had been a Protestant with a lively faith in God who was active in his denomination. Unity. Unity is a...

    Calling.

    Jesus Begins to Preach • 4:12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum, a town by the lake of Galilee, at the border of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 In this way, the word of the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled: 15 Land of...

    Temptation

    Jesus tempted in the wilderness (Lk 4:1; Mk 1:12) 4 • 1 Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert, that he might be put to the test by the devil. 2 After Jesus fasted forty days and nights he was famished. 3 Then the tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, order these stones...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    People in every church, denomination, and independent Christian group have varying degrees of knowledge and varying degrees of confidence about expressing their views; that being so it is to be expected that in any given congregation some people will be knowledgeable some will not be...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    Josiah, This thread is entitled Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant? and your posts are not even remotely about that topic. Why are you posting here if your intent is to tell your history and opinions instead of dealing with the thread's topic?

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    That's an opinion. You think that is what Catholic people think. There are over a billion Catholic people. You do not know what those billion people think. You're just opining and that is not worth much in a discussion. Another opinion. Something with substance might be better.

    Why Become Protestant if You're Catholic?

    Having read all the posts in this thread I have not seen any compelling reasons for changing either between Protestant denominations or between Protestant faith traditions (for example Reformed to Lutheran) nor any compelling reasons to become a Protestant if you are Catholic.

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    A survey - real or (as in your post) imagined - is not a point it is an aggregation of opinions with no significant value for deciding what is true and what is not. In brief your post did not have a point to make it offered only an opinion. LDS claims about ancient Israeli settlement in North...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    Everybody has an opinion but not all opinions are of equal value because some are not true while other are true. Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant? Truth. Everybody argues for their own views as if they were true but not every argument presented is right and that is why we have so...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    Everybody ought to know that surveys do not define truth. Truth. Everybody argues for their own views as if they were true but not every argument presented is right and that is why we have so many 'versions' of the 'truth' today. Relativism - the idea that each individual has a 'version of the...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    Looks like a lot of heresy. Pity that the experience was so bad. Of course that stuff is not Catholic teaching.

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    I had to make a correction in the first post in this thread. I forgot to type the y in every. The corrected text says Order. Maintaining order in a large body of believers that spans not just congregations but languages and nations to cover almost every land on Earth is no easy task. The...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    If you are a Protestant and have a knowledge of the gospel while holding an active lively faith in God why convert to the Catholic Church? Here are some reasons that I like. The bible. The bible has more to say than the 66 books commonly received among Protestants says. Antiquity. The Church...

    Lizzie is converting

    I am listening to her story and thinking she sounds and looks very young. Then I got to thinking, would I be thinking the same thing if the same words were coming from the mouth of a mid thirties man? Well, I do not know but it is a thought. There is likely a lot more to the conversion that she...

    Refuge, immigration, the Law, and the Gospel

    There are lots of Syrian refugees in Europe, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and a host of other places because their country is torn apart by civil war and foreign troop incursions. It's been that way for seven years. There is no end in sight to the violence. In old testament times Israel was commanded...

    The old testament

    Holy scripture contains these comments Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. Hebrews 10:1 Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can...

    The old testament

    Jews of our era read the old testament as their bible because they reject the new testament and Muslims of our era read the old testament and new testament as corrupted revelation from God that Jews first and then Christians changed and corrupted to take away the true message of God which...

    I wondered if I ought to write this post in the technology section rather than in the theology section but on reflection the topic is more theological than it is technological. With the progress we're seeing in computer simulated intelligence and the possibility of genuine artificial...
