    Pray for Pope Francis, and for what he prays for.

    1 Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus There is not a single verse in the Bible that teaches Mary is to be prayed to, worshipped or venerated. Interestingly, the following quotes are from the link you provided: It was a fitting choice...

    Pray for Pope Francis, and for what he prays for.

    Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. John 10:14-15 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep...

    Genesis chapter 4, where did Cain get the people for his city ? ! ?

    Belief is a choice and apparently you, along with the majority of people, refuse to believe. For those who choose not to believe, no amount of evidence will ever convince them.

    Genesis chapter 4, where did Cain get the people for his city ? ! ?

    Why does that surprise you? Paul’s letters were for the purpose of encouraging believers as well as correcting errors in the church. And yes, I rejoice that the tomb of Jesus is empty. The fact that neither Mohammed nor Buddha could help themselves after death is an indication they can’t help...

    Pray for Pope Francis, and for what he prays for.

    You seem to confuse honesty with being rude. You quoted the Pope as declaring he entrusted his life to Mary. However, Mary did not die for his sins, Jesus did. Mary cannot save anyone so if the Pope was hoping Mary could save him, he was sorely disappointed. BTW, avoiding Hell is the most...

    Pray for Pope Francis, and for what he prays for.

    Being easy to work with does not permit anyone into Heaven. God cuts us some slack when He gives us opportunity to be saved. If anyone places their faith in anything or anyone except Christ, they reject the slack God cuts them. The result is Hell. Even if it is the Pope.

    Pray for Pope Francis, and for what he prays for.

    If the Pope entrusted his life to Mary, he didn’t make it to Heaven. Unless he trusted Jesus Christ, he is in Hell. Mary doesn’t save. Jesus saves.

    Why does the resurrection prove that Jesus is the one and true God?

    Jesus created the universe. He demonstrated power over both the physical and the spiritual worlds. He raised others from the dead. He died for the sins of every sinner. Then He raised Himself from the dead. He ascended to Heaven in a cloud. He extends grace and forgiveness to every person who...

    Why does the resurrection prove that Jesus is the one and true God?

    Jesus not only demonstrated power over death, but power over everything. For instance, His power over nature. He commanded the winds and waves to be still and they obeyed Him. He showed His power over disease by curing the blind, lame and sick. He exercised His power over the spiritual realm...

    Resurrection From the Viewpoint of Artificial Intelligence

    A friend of mine posted on FB a question he posed to ChatGPT about the most compelling evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, I did the same and here is what I was given: What is the most compelling evidence for the resurrection of Christ ChatGPT said: Great question — and one that...

    There may be some truth in all religions. But in Christ Jesus is all truth.

    Genesis chapter 4, where did Cain get the people for his city ? ! ?

    As a Christian I can say believers in Christ don't have to keep trying because Jesus accomplished everything at Calvary. Tetelestai!!!

    Why does the resurrection prove that Jesus is the one and true God?

    Is His resurrection special? What other person in the history of mankind raised from the dead three days after being killed and buried? Of the billions and billions of people who have lived how many have resurrected? Yeah, I'd call Jesus' resurrection special. You can visit Mohammed's grave and...

    Genesis chapter 4, where did Cain get the people for his city ? ! ?

    Because Jesus is God, wrapped in human flesh. Many claimed to be the Messiah, but Jesus proved He was the Messiah. Buddha, Muhammad, and other religious leaders were merely humans who died and stayed dead. Jesus died but arose on the third day to prove His divinity. And He did that because He...

    Genesis chapter 4, where did Cain get the people for his city ? ! ?

    You are more than entitled to believe whatever you want to believe, but this verse says nothing about keep trying even in difficult circumstances. It does not refer to being discouraged and/or quitting nor does it suggest you will later find yourself encouraged. This verse absolutely does not...

    Why aren't Protestants part of Catholicism?

    The Catholic Church has added doctrines that have no Biblical support. For instance, as you have already identified, their practice of praying to saints. This is forbidden in Deut.18:11. In fact, their qualifications for "saints" is not Biblical. The Bible teaches that all believers are saints...

    How is Trump doing 90 days later? What about the Democrats?

    As a conservative, I believe Trump is doing a fantastic job. He is keeping promises. The Democrats, on the other hand, are floundering. They are showing how much they hate America. Not a single Democrat stood to applaud a child fighting brain cancer (a child of color I should point out). They...

    Featured Jesus died on cross in 33 AD, first book of the New Testament was Galatians written as early as 48 AD.

    The NT has over six thousand manuscripts and fragments of manuscripts written within 100 years of the events. These manuscripts are in Greek, Aramaic, Latin, Coptic and Syriac. By comparison, The Galic Wars has only 251 copies some 900 years after the events happened and from what I can...

    Featured Jesus died on cross in 33 AD, first book of the New Testament was Galatians written as early as 48 AD.

    But you’re not involved in a church anymore. You are a nonbeliever who has rejected Christianity. You do not base your life on Julius Caesar, Socrates or Jesus Christ. Yet you continue to challenge the Bible and the Christian faith. Why do you have a problem with ancient Biblical manuscripts but...
