Okay, the USA is not likely to pass any significant gun control laws in the foreseeable future. It doesn't matter why that is so, it just is. But that raises a question. After more than 200 mass shootings in 2017 and the killing of 59 people in Law Vegas a few days ago what can be done to reduce...
I'm cooking diced chicken breast, chick peas, diced tomatoes, and Korma sauce. I'll cook some Basmati rice later and then have the rice with some of the chicken and vegetables and korma sauce for lunch.
You said "conversion" was not in the bible so I showed you where it is in the bible. You said that invoking the saints is not in the bible so I showed you where invoking the angels and heavenly hosts is in the bible (the saints are among the hosts of heaven). You said that prayer for the dead...
I am glad you are home and well enough to send a message to us.
God keep you and grant you good rest and speedy recovery from whatever hinders you now.
It is in the bible.
Tobit 14:6 Then the nations in the whole world will all be converted and worship God in truth. They will all abandon their idols, which deceitfully have led them into their error;
Matthew 23:15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to...
Some Protestant people say the sort of thing that you've said above but it doesn't have much factual backing. Catholic people do have things in common with pagan people - lots of things - and so to Protestant people. Pagans were not the enemy of Christ. Pagans were the people who the gospel was...

Do you have such extensive experience of pagan ancestor worship that you have become an authority on the subject? If not how will you decide the answer to your question?
For example how did pagans pray to their ancestors? Did they ask their ancestors to pray to Jehovah on their behalf?
In the...
They heard it because it was spoken. there's no other way to hear than with one's ears and what one hears when language is spoken is spoken words hence they heard the disciples speaking words in their languages.

Acts says that they were speaking in the languages of the people listening.
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes...
Insurance means that costs are spread out among policy holders. If universal health cover is government funded then the costs are spread out among tax payers. Both approaches amount to the same thing. It may seem like insurance is voluntary (and technically it is) but when medical care is...
I think that it's gibberish so not a language used by anybody to communicate intelligible content. The "words" were remembered from my experience with friends who were "speaking in tongues". It sounded similar to most other "speaking in tongues" in my locale. I did notice that some USA visitors...
