Thanks for sharing part of your life experience. I am half Italian and everyone on my father's side was Catholic too as would most be from that country. I even had a Communion and Confirmation at 11 years old, but it meant nothing to me ... didn't get it. I became a real Christian at age 35...

Well, there are a billion Catholics, how many do you know? Evidently Harrison Butker doesn't think the end is near, nor does the Catholic school he gave his speech to ... they all think they have a bright future. Of course guest speakers are expected to give positive encouragement to...

Great speech! The only part I disagree with is that these kids he spoke to have a bright future ahead of them. I think many Catholics are preterists so they don't except Jesus to show up any time soon. They see the future as the Church somehow gradually transforming everyone on the planet, with...

Disavow what they all say ... and since we aren't scholars and just laymen, it is likely you won't value what any of us say either? Heck, you don't even receive and accept that Paul said he was on Patmos ...

Being born again means you have passed from death to life, we have been regenerated. Christ paid the penalty - so we don't have to. Now the works AFTER your regeneration are tested with fire whether they are eternal or temporal (and we have both). All temporal things will burn up. So the...

Scholars agree Revelation was written on Patmos. But even if it wasn't, what is your point? It's God's word wherever it was written. If you really have a problem with one word or sentence that causes you to go off on a tangent, likely you'll have difficulty with discerning the entire Bible. **...

You surmise that John wrote the Book of Revelation after he left Patmos? He died in Ephesus around 98AD, which shortly after hisbleave of Patmos. It has been accepted by numerous scholars that the Book of Revelation was written about 95 AD. So why would he write a letter to The Church of...

Anyone writing about any event is writing after it happened. He wasn't seeing visions and using automatic writing as someone might take dictation in a trance: "My body is on the Island of Patmos while I am writing to you but my spirit is in heaven ..." No, I doubt it happened that way. He was...

This verse summarizes the gospel. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first...

Job suffered for us to reflect upon whenever we experience loss, pain and sufferings in life. We need encouragement during hardships; so we look back at Job and realize this is all temporary, it will pass, God is with me He hasn't abandoned me, He will rescue me, save me ... so I will persevere...

This is exactly what was prophesied. All nations and/or individuals who come against Israel, will be destroyed. No worries, Jesus is coming. The Beast has manifested itself in many empires: Babylonian, Egyptian, Medo- Persian, Assyrian, Greek, Roman and Ottoman( Islamic). The last one suffered a...

So if you died and went to heaven, you would not recognize any women, mother, grandma, aunt ...? We all have speculated about what we will be like and it is somewhat a mystery. We will be like the angels, like Jesus, but still ourselves. We may think of the scripture: "There is now neither male...

We all are tested in many ways. The bigger picture is that God has allowed evil for a purpose since the beginning. The Tree of Knowledge ofbGood and Evil. And of course He has allowed Satan, the Father of lies, to deceive and destroy many for the purpose of saving a few.

The article I got that quote from was older and prior to the voting of the bill in Missouri to legalize it in 2022. It was mainly to discourage a yes vote. They failed, it was legalized last year. There are so many articles proving the detriment to society caused by recreational marijuana...

Great topic ... glad you brought it up. Being reconciled back to God through Christ is our purpose in life. I have been saying that for years. I agree with most of what you said but have a few reservations about your condemnation against Catholics. >> Being drawn to, joined and united with God...

Since legalization in Colorado, the number of teenagers in ER rooms has quadrupled. "Medical and recreational marijuana legalization is destroying the health and social fabric of Colorado. Suicide, overdoses, ER visits, hospitalizations, and domestic and street violence due to cannabis are...

The Great Reset developed by the WEF with Klaus Schwab at the forefront will happen sooner than anyone thinks. The UN signed in on it in July 2019. Interesting, just prior to the Plandemic. Gates, Soros most of the billionaires are on board ... all the Liberals. Actually it is disguised as the...

No marriage leads one to believe there is no sex or desire. Sexual desire was given humans and animals to procreate. We will be like Jesus, like angels, with a new body, therefore a new creature with extra-dimensional abilities and qualities that surpass any we have now. Our joy, love and...

You were a Mormon. Did you believe that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures (in the Bible)? Mormons and JW's are drawn to Christ. Faith comes by the Word ... and they are consuming it AND being changed by it. Satan tries to...

Well yes, the closer we get to God, the more we know Him, the more we follow His lead. But when we receive God's thoughts and He inspires us to do something and we don't readily respond, what happens? Our thoughts and reasoning kick in and begin to analyze the situation and we mess up. We don't...
