What makes a Christian a Christian? And from your perspective, what would disqualify the RCC from being Christian?

Another question is whether or not he actually said that or whether this is more tabloid media bearing false witness. Do you have evidence that he actually said that?

Was it the group or was it individuals in the group? Should we hate the sin or hate the sinner? If that's what he was getting at, I get it. Holding hate in your heart is like holding a hot coal with the intention to throw it. You're the one that gets burnt. The term 'nazi' has been used...

I believe you meant to post this in the gaslighting thread.

That clip-collage video doesn't contain anything with him claiming Jews ruled the world or making light of the holocaust. Do you have a clip where he actually does those things? Or is this just the tabloid media spinning its wheels? In the clip you provided he says he loves everyone and that...

Frankly, just like Assange, he might already be dead. The masked man might not be West at all.

I'm not up to speed with this. Do you have a source for this claim? Do you have a source for this claim too?

Context?

Someone posed the thought that Christians should only pray to God the Father. And that the prayer would be through Christ but not to Christ. Many Protestant churches have a children's time and some of the prayers start with, "Dear Jesus, thank you that you love us [...]" Is it wrong to pray to...

If you think the god of the Talmud is the God of the Bible, there really isn't much more to say beyond that.

That's an interesting position. Do you believe it is wrong to pray to Jesus?

For all I know you are just another Dispensationalist pretending to be Christian. Roman Catholics are Christian. Dispensationalists are not.

This rhetoric presupposes that the RCC would be the Whore of Babylon. I'm no RCC expert, but I imagine that they would actually have fairly concrete hermeneutics. It would be great to have an RCC expert in here to test. Well, you know, except Rev 19:21, Rom 13:4, etc. It's funny that you...

A seance is the attempt at two way communication. Prayers are often used in the context of a one way message. Prayers to Saints (capital S for patron saints), to the best of my understanding are a way of indirectly addressing God (using the Saint as a messenger, envoy, or characteristic vessel...

An important note to this is that there are two different contexts of prayer: 1) to petition for something (e.g. "St Anthony help me find this thing") 2) to direct a message (e.g. at a gravesite speaking from your heart toward a friend that has passed).

No. A seance is different.

It sounds like you are conflating issues. We can talk doctrine or we can talk about the parties that invigilated their interpretation of that doctrine. The Christians of the crusades did nothing wrong.

Unless they are inspired by God. And surely people can be inspired differently.

Are not all those in Christ saints? Surely it would stand that there is nothing wrong with praying to a dead loved one wishing them well and hoping they are OK. It's a common thing to pay respects at a gravestone.

A better example is the study they did on children being rehabilitated for stuttering. One group was a control. One group they convinced the children that they were doing better than they were actually doing (downplaying the amount of stuttering they actually did and disassociating them from...
