The Orthodox Church departed from the Catholic Church in the eleventh century. That was nearly five hundred years before Calvin was born. There were reformers way before Calvin. In the 9th century the theologian Gottschalk of Orbais was condemned for heresy by the Catholic church, Gottschalk...

If you knew anything of theological history, you would know that John Calvin never created TULIP! "The name sometimes implies that they stem directly from John Calvin. In truth though, the formulation came after Calvin as a response from the Reformed to the Arminian Remonstrance that posited 5...

Oh, born again? from the conversation of Jesus Christ with Nicodemus. Yes, baptism of the water and of the spirit. It's always the spirit part that people spend the wind arguing about in debates. A baptism by immersion can be seen, recorded and even photographed. But the spiritual part people...

The pyramid model refers to the top-down leadership style. Most churches have a pastor, maybe an associate and they mostly carry the burden of serving the church. Elders exist but usually to keep the pastor in line. I've known pastors who are in effect 24/7 slaves to the whims of their...

Toplady reports that Jacob Arminius was formerly a Calvinist before he made a trip to Rome. As a matter of fact Arminianism is just a copy of Pelagianism or mild Pelagianism that rules the Roman Catholic soteriology. Therefore knowing that the Jesuits had already declared that Calvinism is...

And that creates the situation where ANYONE can say "I'm not wrong, the Spirit told me this truth I share with you".

This is suppose to be a very simple subject, yet it is the most complex when we introduce our own biases based upon our own experiences and prejudices. I have never formally studied the subject of the church, neither have I studied the secular history of the church, post Jesus Christ's...

Probably almost everyone on this forum is Protestant Christian because they believe Catholicism isn't biblical

I am very close to having literally sinned every sin and still wonder if each time I was drunk or fornicating maybe with the same woman like living in a sinful relationship would be considered an individual separate sin? And for every theft likewise. And say for instance is being drunk from...

This may be my last post as I have suddenly by a gradual realization come to find this chat as possibly suspect and possibly collusive in some ways. After a very helpful conversation with my Catholic neighbor about an extremely unusual encounter via this chat which occurred early this morning my...

Dead religion is a blight no matter what denomination. Catholicism has the wrong structures and wrong doctrines. Protestantism has many flawed structures, although less so than Catholicism. Protestant doctrines are more accurate, but doctrine never saved anyone. I have better acceptance and...

Not sure why it boggles anything. However, I do understand your doubts about this. I have some questions myself, such as the passage in which God says that He came to call all men back to Himself, or something like that. Clearly all men will not be called back to Himself. Soooo... what does...

That is correct, since the vast majority of Christendom has long been seated or established in Roman Catholicism. Hopefully it is no longer a knee-jerk reaction to assume "Catholic" when one says "Christian," as that used to be the case. I suppose it is possible you do not believe RCC dogmas and...

It's not an exact quote, but if you'd like, I'll find it for you - it's essentially the same. BTW, quotes that were nothing to find 5+ years ago seem to be disappearing as prophesied polarization of Christians toward either true Protestantism and Catholicism continues. And, who does...

What Catholics believe and what Protestants believe, is of no concern to me. Actually, you also preach that the law must be strictly obeyed. Transgression of the law is also sin, within your interpretation. Works are not the evidence of salvation, anyone can occupy themselves with works...

I don't think you fully understand things, friend. 1) I don't preach salvation by works, I preach good works are the EVIDENCE of having received salvation and the absence of good works are the evidence it has not yet been received., 2) Catholicism doesn't teach salvation is limited by...

Yep, if you read my posts I agree Catholicism has error. What I don't agree with is starting threads tearing down every denomination. I have friends that are born again that have remained in the church to try and show others the truth. Let's no send everyone to hell because they attend such and...

It is the official position of the owner of this site that Catholicism is full of heresy. In fact, Protestantism exists because Catholicism is full of error.

I hate Catholicism because it's a false form of Christianity that has done untold evil in the world. If it would stop calling itself Christian that would be one thing; but it pretends to be Christian when its anything but. It's not Catholicism per se I hate but all forms of demonic doctrines...
