    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    God denying? What is this post? xD Truly? xD You are aware the pope teaches from the Bible? The same one you read from hopefully every day. Jesus is in the Catholic story and the nativity story as much as yours. The story didn't change. I know you'd like to deny that fact, but it's...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Which makes me think, this is probably not the forum for me. Interesting, I didn't know the reasons for it, but I always found that a peculiar point of interest, haha. The reason I know more about Russian Orthodox is because I read a book on Peter the Great(my first introduction to Orthodoxy)...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Well, I assume that based on an educated guess, haha. If she's not Catholic, then she belongs to one which comes after Martin Luther or to the Eastern Orthodox, but you can spot a person based on what they say, and I'm assuming she comes from one after Martin Luther. From what I understand...

    Do they also call it Ethiopian Orthodox? I've heard of this, I think. There are many Orthodox churches like Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox and what not.

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Limited understanding is a problem because how can you build a house without the right measurements? Brainwashed could be an argument used for anyone who has opposing views to your own. Doesn't it seem more probable that the first doctrine is the correct doctrine?

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    If an expert on the coronavirus tells me that there will be an epidemic if we don't take action, and some average Joe tells me that it is all hype, who do I believe? Contrary to popular belief, the pope is not some infallible person, but his expertise and study in the book is what lets him...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    The heretic belongs with the one who has no evidence for their beliefs. Does debate scare you so much that you can't see the value in opposing views? Or are you afraid of the truth like a child afraid of its own shadow? Or that you have no facts to back up your position? Your religion came...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    False. The priest intercedes as the conduit(because of his position), but he does not forgive one's sins. He prays to God on your behalf.

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Unless I'm mistaken, my friend, you're speaking of Orthodox Christianity, which was originally the eastern branch of Catholicism in the Holy Roman Empire up until it broke off in what was known as the Great Schism (the first schism before Martin Luther) for a number of irreconcilable differences...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    You do realize the Bible is vastly interpreted. How do you not interpret the Bible for yourself? Do you stone witches as the Bible tells you to? Do you really think that's a good idea? After all, there's no such thing as interpretation and only the Bible. This is why the Pope exists to make the...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Your faith comes as a schism of Lutheranism and not even the original Lutheranism (unless you are Lutheran) but the versions that broke off after Lutheranism, yet you claim superiority of your Christian faith over the original practices? How exactly does that add up to truth? If you were born...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Why do people attack Catholics as false, when we're the mutant spawn that arose from the original church? How does one reconcile their beliefs knowing that Catholicism came first?

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    Why do people stray from it if it were the original Christian doctrine? How does one know one's Christian walk is true with thousands of Christian sects each purporting to be the truth and damning other sects to hell? Why do we put so much faith in our own opinions and call it God's opinion...

    Why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart, rather than let them go right away?

    Wouldn't it have been easier to just let them go on their way right away? Why did He choose to keep hardening Pharaoh's heart?

    Were the Israelites always a holy people or did it happen in Egypt? Why?

    Why did God choose the Israelites to become holy?

    What Happened to Joseph's Family After Joseph Died?

    Thanks, man. Any idea, why does God have so many different names? Elohim, Abba, El Shaddai, Yahweh, and I know there's another one but I forgot it. What is the purpose of the different names?

    What Happened to Joseph's Family After Joseph Died?

    Why were gentiles more likely to do this?

    What Happened to Joseph's Family After Joseph Died?

    Thank you! Now I remember reading that part, but they actually sold themselves into slavery during the famine. I didn't remember them mentioning the brothers, however. Were the Egyptians at this point still into the Egyptian gods?

    Catholicism vs Protestantism

    Catholics only believe in baptism once as a baby, and some Protestants believe in doing it twice to speak for themselves. However, according to the Catholics(not saying it's right or wrong either way), baptism twice is sacrilegious and ineffectual.
