    Strictly Miscellaneous

    I like a some of the stuff that "McCartney" did after the Beatles, so whoever it was, I think they were very talented!

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    what do you say about Protestants who believe that Jews and Christians worship the same God, are they members of the body of Christ? I believe a person is a Christian, a member of the body of Christ, if they believe: Jesus is the Christ, that is to say, he is the messiah, the anointed one of...

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    well, it doesn't mean it would be completely wrong. I don't think that follows. well, but then it wouldn't be zeal for the true God. there's always a subjective aspect to any interpretation. the King James translators capitalized "God", so they believed it referred to the true God, not the...

    right, it sounds like we both agree that Romans 10:2 is saying the Jews have zeal for the true God. I go through the posts one by one, so I don't know what our brother Jackson's response is to your post. as far as CCC 841 goes, I mildly disagree with it. it isn't the way I would describe the...

    Can you Spot the Trinity?

    I think I understand what you're saying. Paul wrote to Jews first, but it wasn't a Hebrew version of the book of Romans, it would have been something similar but different. it's possible. it would mean that not everything that Paul wrote was preserved as scripture.

    Trump: Michigan's Man of the year... or not?

    correction: I said timestamp 4:50, I meant 4:10. That's where the link points. also, "Kiwanis Club" was just the name that popped into my head, no disrespect intended. I hear they do lots of good service projects.

    Trump: Michigan's Man of the year... or not?

    this isn't a big deal, and I'm really just trying to figure out what's going on in Trump's mind. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/21/politics/fact-check-trump-michigan-man-of-the-year-again/ I know that CNN is a liberal outlet, but this story is not hard to find on the internet. if you're into...

    Can you Spot the Trinity?

    That's cool! I'll wait until you have time to make the post say what you want it to.

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    Actually, if I understand my brother Jackson correctly, he does not believe the Jews and Christians worship the same God. and he believes the people who say that Jews and Christians do worship the same God are not Christians. But I certainly don't want to put words in your mouth, my brother...

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    No, I don't do whatever I can to try to defend Catholicism. but I am interested in reducing unnecessary division in the body of Christ! As you probably already know, a lot of Protestants also believe that Jews and Christians worship the same God.

    Do you have a comment about the Samaritans worshipping the true God? Would you describe the Samaritans of that passage as worshipping the true God?

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    (I've switched to a different kind of text Editor to compose in. it doesn't capitalize the first letter of a sentence like the other one did, so I'll try to put in more new lines to make it more clear.) Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to...

    Can you Spot the Trinity?

    Paul wrote two letters to the church in Rome, one in Greek and one in Hebrew? Or he wrote a Hebrew version of the Greek letter to the Romans and sent it somewhere else?

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    Does trying to establish your own righteousness automatically mean that you are not worshipping the true God? If so, then it sounds like a person has to be 100% correct about God in order to worship God. Granted, in order to worship in spirit and in truth, you have to have the spirit and the...

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    I disagree the Paul says that. Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. He says that they went about to establish their own righteousness, not their own god...

    It's my impression that there are virtually no Catholics here on Christian chat.

    I don't think it implies that it anyway.

    At that point, I believe you are simply altering the scriptures.

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    I agree that it's not a core doctrinal issue. And I also agree that Muslims say all kinds of wrong things about God. But it raises a kind of boring philosophical question. When two people are talking about God, how many things can they say that are different before they are talking about a...

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    I'm not sure who you are referring to as "we". I agree that in Romans 10:2, it says that the Jews have a zeal for God, and that's the true God that it's referring to. Our brother Jackson, and I mean this as gently as possible, seems to go back and forth between it being the true God and a...
