Except those churches were more like communes or community centers and they were used to infiltrate with the villages they were planted next to. The people did not have to become members, they just sort of befreinded them over time and as a result they slowly converted from paganism to Roman...

Who Was Saint Patrick and Should Christians Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? FROM Stephen Nichols Mar 17, 2021 Category: Articles . When it comes to Saint Patrick, the true story is even more exciting than the legend and the myth. The facts are far better than the fable. This day that belongs to...

Do you believe in the MILLENIUM? Premillennialism?

Yes, Protestant Historicism. Because it had such power to cause a major exodus of catholic faithful from catholicism to Protestantism, the papacy got their heads together and came up with a solution: “FIND AN ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION OF END TIMES PROPHECY WHICH WILL EXONERATE THE PAPACY”...

But are you preaching faith alone ?

Christianity was corrupted by the RCC as the 5th and 6th centuries of papal rule came about. The true church of God was hiding out in the caves, mountains, valleys, etc. They were groups like the Waldenses, Albegenses, Bogimills, Lollards, etc, all hunted as heretics by papal authorities. These...

Yes, I have heard of PEW; they seem to do a lot of polls from what I have seen of them :D I hope you enjoy your time a CARM if you go there. It is quite an extensive site... Or used to be. They were hacked quite a few years ago, and it kind of really messed things up for a while, after which...

I will look for that one. That seems to be more like what I am looking for. Thank you! BTW, there are hundreds of Christian denominations, so they probably didn't have all of them :P If I were in charge (which obviously I'm not, LOL), I could see some reasonable groupings. There's an...

Whatever you want to say about front-loading or back-loading works into the gospel -- you may say whatever you want . . . Salvation is by grace through faith, and not of works, but we are His workmanship. The gospel is the good news of the life and death of Jesus Christ which makes available...

TALK ABOUT "MIXING" STUFF.....THIS ENTIRE OP IS LIKE MIXING HORSE MANURE WITH BANNA PUDDING......IM NOT EATING IT!!!!!!!! NO WONDER YOU CANT TELL THE CHURCH FROM THE WORLD ANYMORE......THIS BUNCH OF SIN LOVERS THAT WANT THE WORLD BUT ALSO A LITTLE FIRE INSURANCE WHEN THEY DIE

With permission, can i use this on another forum please?

Amen, eternal salvation is initial belief in Jesus as God who saved us from our sins. We cant clean up our lives before eternal salvation to get it. When we do get given eternal life, it's not that we WILL do good works after. There will be fruit from being given eternal life, but that is...

It will be great if more Christians distinguish between salvation and rewards. But now, salvation for all of us is based on the finished work of Christ on the cross, we just need to believe it. Works done after salvation counts for rewards, as long as we are building them on the right...

This is the majority of Christendom sadly.

Back-loading Works into the Gospel: Front-Loading works into the Gospel would like something this: “For you to be saved you have to be willing to give up your life first” “You need to stop sinning and live holy, or else you cannot be saved” “In order for you to be saved, you need to be...

...resurrection. I do have some doubts on the major Christian doctrines, especially where there are disagreements (for ex. Catholicism vs Protestantism), where everyone thinks they have the right answer, but I believe they were taught to think that way based on how they were raised or if they...

Further to my last post, as regards the reason why this occurs is quite simple, hatred, bigotry and sectarianism occurs in believers and the unsaved because of carnality as they are works of the flesh. 1Cor 3v1-8, Gal 5v16-26.

I was most moved by your post my friend. I don't know much about the Christian wars in N Ireland and i don't want to know because it's just so heart wrenching to see and hear how the evil one has divided us in the past. All I know is that many Christians killed each other over there, more than...

I live in a part of the UK called N Ireland, it has suffered the most bitterest bigotry and sectarianism for 100's of years, and in 1969 "the troubles" started, I lived through all of this, so I have seen this at its worst when so-called "Protestants" go out and murder innocent Roman Catholics...

As I’ve documented, it comes to us from the Council of Chalcedon. It is embraced by Catholicism and Protestantism. It’s not my view. It’s the view of historical orthodox trinitarianism. It’s the view of Catholicism and Protestantism which you are calling “corrupted by wrong premise”. Thank...
