    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    That's rich, Peter was never in Rome.... That is like saying someone who lives in Albany has never been to New York. If you have a mediator then you access the other party thru the mediator, not directly. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from...

    Behold, it was very good.

    Well, have you ever considered how Moses was able to write the written spoken word since there is no record that the Egyptians or any other civilization had the ability to communicate using the written spoken word (letters) until after the Exodus period. Even today a person cannot read the...

    In order for there to be an edge of space then the space must be finite right? However, to answer your question there is no edge on a sphere. [See 1 Tim 6:16] :whistle:

    creationist debate?

    Before the law came you didn't know that your days in the flesh were numbered, yet if the LORD hasn't taught you to number your days then you must not understand that whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law. In such I find no reason to strive with someone who strives with the doctrine...

    That's interesting, no commands from God yet. Since the male and female were made on the same day, and Adam was given the command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil when placed in the garden then maybe you might reconsider your reason for denying that the word of the LORD is...

    I not sure where the issue of 'pure' came from, since no matter how biologically pure a person is they are still subject to the nature of this physical world, meaning the have up to a 120 years in the flesh, and it is going to cease. I was referring unto the act of 'incest' since it is mental...

    creationist debate?

    The son of Cain named Enoch is not the same Enoch referenced in Genesis 5:24. But really the point is the word of the LORD is the same yesterday, today and in perpetuity so the possibility that incest would have been necessary or required in order for mankind to populate the earth is naught...

    Why Righteousness is Attained Simply by Faith and not by Law.

    John 5:25 is speaking specifically to the context in John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. But of course, in John 17:8, "For I have...

    creationist debate?

    IMO that is just as plausible interpretation of scripture as the one that all human beings originated from a single set of human progenitors. So did the one man that was created have 5 fingers on each hand and 5 toes on each foot, or did he have 6 digits on each hand and 6 digits on each...

    Why Righteousness is Attained Simply by Faith and not by Law.

    Well, the law of truth is that if the Son didn't want someone to hear his voice he wouldn't say anything to them right? So if faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God then is John 5:25 the law or faith. .

    If the fact is that evolution is virtually impossible, then one cannot deny the possibility of creation being false is a fact. The truth cannot possibly be untrue. Reminds me of the song, 'Carry on my ..."

    creationist debate?

    The sun is in the midst of heaven, in other words is the center of the universe, it does not move from that position, however the sun does turn in that stationary position. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) was a mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center...

    creationist debate?

    The hypothesis of the Primordial Atom was published in scientific form by the Catholic Priest, which modern cosmology is based upon. However, it was astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle that called it the 'big bang' (sarcastically) who did not accept it as the origin of the universe.

    What is the word "THAT" referring to in Ephesians 2: 8,9.

    I was referring unto the teaching in John 11:9 regarding the question that was put before the disciples in response to the concern they expressed about the risk of his being stoned to death by the Jews by returning into Judaea, which is an interesting subject. And yes you are right that the...

    What is the word "THAT" referring to in Ephesians 2: 8,9.

    Correct-a-mundo, but here is one, If there are twelve hours in the day, and twelve hours in the night, then would the mid point in a day (midday) be the point between the day and the night during a day? So does someone need a sundial to know when it is midday? :unsure:

    What is the word "THAT" referring to in Ephesians 2: 8,9.

    8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 If the 'that' you are referring is the that in bold above, then that would be referring unto "hearing" seeing that faith comes by hearing and...

    What is the word "THAT" referring to in Ephesians 2: 8,9.

    I would say you are right as far as the fact he practiced them, but again the scriptures do not specifically say either way so I can't say you aren't right about they were not in the act practicing them at the time of the visitation. Except it seems they already would have been kneeling down...

    What is the word "THAT" referring to in Ephesians 2: 8,9.

    Maybe or maybe he was still traveling.... 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 9:3-4
