I concur. The Catholic church teaches that Salvation is achieved through works as well as through grace and faith. However, Paul teaches that Salvation is achieved by Grace through faith and not of works. Also, the scripture teaches that Christ is the head of the Church, yet the Catholics have the Pope as the head. How can they claim to be Christian if what they teach is contrary to scripture?

Hello, My sources on this matter were Catholic sources. So, if my information is incorrect, then it is the Catholic who are incorrect. I stated what the Catholics believed as dictated from the online Catholic Encyclopedia at newadvent.org. I also have numerous texts in my personal library which confirm the information listed on the website. With that information, I then turned to the Scriptures to examine the information in accordance to what the Scriptures teach. I found that the information was unbiblical. So, I will stand beside my findings. Jesusman |

83 | Who wrote the book of Acts? | Acts | Jesusman | 50932 | ||
Hello, First off, thanks for the suggestion, but I already have one. Also, the NASB study bible's notes, charts, maps, and etc. come from the NIV study Bible. I prefer the Thompson chain referance over the NASB Study Bible any day. It's notes, charts, and maps outweight those found in the NASB SB. It's reference section at the end is designed so that you can find anything you have a need for. It is set up so that you compair scripture to scripture and allow scripture to interpret scripture. It has an archeological section that the NASB SB doesn't have. Overall, the Thompson chain is far better than the NASB. Second, I did answer the person's question. He asked who wrote the Book of Acts, and I told him. If he wanted more information, all he needed to do was ask, and I would've been happy to inform him. Thirdly, Your comment sounded insulting. That may not have been your intention, but that is how it sounded to me. You jumped to the conclusion that I knew little about the Bible and had no resources to study the Bible. The opposite is the truth, friend. I have so many books in which to study the Bible, that I some in storage, and some in my car as well as at my home. Jesus Loves You!

Hello, I am misinformed?? Alright. Let's take a look at some of the things I said. Let's start with what I said of Mary. According to Catholic tradition, Mary's parents were Joachim and Anna. Through their "fervent prayers", Mary was born to them in their old age. This is viewed by Catholics as a special intervention of God's power, just as in the birth of John the Baptist. This birth is viewed as an "Immaculate Conception". This is the same identification they place up the Birth of Jesus. On top of that, this identification of her birth includes that she was immune from original sin. According to Pius IX, Mary was as sinless as Jesus was. They are making Mary out to be just like the Messiah. This was all done "PRIOR" to the birth of John the Baptist. As I showed in my previous post, this all goes against the prophecies of Micah and Malachi. Am I mistaken about this? Not in the least! How about the office of Pope? According to Catholic Tradition. Peter was assigned to be the first Pope in Matthew 16:16-20. They claim that Jesus ordained Peter to be the first Pope and that the Church will be built upon Peter. However, when you examine this passage in the Greek, using proper usage of Greek, you find that Jesus is saying something different. When Jesus says, "Upon this rock I will build my Church ..." He isn't talking about Peter. Yes, Peter means "rock" in Greek, but it carries the implied meaning of a pebble or stone. A small rock. In the quoted phrase, the word is Petra, and means a large rock, a boulder. Jesus is refering to what Peter said, not about Peter himself. Also, you have the continuous themes throughout the Bible of Jesus being the Chief Cornerstone. Jesus is referring to himself in the quoted phrase. He is telling Peter that the future Church will be built upon Christ's work and that Peter and the rest of the Apostles will be the shepherds of it. All of this is confirmed by Paul. No where in Paul's writings does he acknowledge Peter as the Head of the Church or as it's foundation. He always refer to Jesus Christ in this role. Again, the Catholic church is mistaken when they call Peter the first Pope. So, am I misinformed? Nope. Perhaps you should take a step back and look at the Catholic Church in light of what the Bible says. Jesusman |

Hello, There maybe sincere Catholics who are truly saved. I am not doubting that possibility. However, I do doubt the Catholic Doctrine. Their doctrine is full of biblical inaccuracies, herecies, falsehoods, and much more. Everytime the Catholic church claims to have never changed, they are telling a bold-faced lie. While there is a possiblity that there are sincere Catholics who are also truly saved, I question the likelyhood of that possibility due to the enormous amount of falsehoods that the Catholic Church claims, teaches, and belives. Now, am I saying that my own faith is perfect and true? No, not in the least. I realize that my own faith and denomination have serious falsehoods of their own. However, that does not deter me from doing my Christian duty as a Pastor to point out that which goes contrary to Scripture, and to reveal what the Scriptures truly say. Jesusman |

87 | verse Bible- contains all letters but J | Ezra 7:21 | Jesusman | 50858 | ||
Hello again, Even in the NASB, Look at the verse carefully. I, even I, (K)ing (A)rtaxer(x)es, issue a (d)ecree t(o) all the treasurers w(h)o are (i)n the provinces beyond the River, that whatever (E)(z)ra the (p)riest, the s(c)ri(b)e o(f) the (l)a(w) of (t)he (G)od of hea(v)e(n), (m)ay (r)e(q)uire of (y)o(u), it (s)hall be done diligently, See? All the letters of the Alphabet besides "J". In fact, How could you miss the letter "B" when there are 2 of them in the verse? Now let's look at your verse in the NASB. 1 Chron. 29:2 Now with (a)ll my a(b)ility I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the t(h)ings of (g)old, and the s(i)lver for the things of silver, and the bron(z)e f(o)r the things of bronze, the iron (f)or th(e) things of iron, and (w)ood for (t)he things of woo(d), o(n)y(x) stones and inlaid stones, stones of anti(m)on(y) and stones of (v)ario(u)s (c)olors, and a(l)l (k)inds of (p)recious (s)tones and alabaste(r) in abundance. OOPS!!! Missing the Letter "Q" as well as "J". Jesusman |

90 | The Silent Journey | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 50208 | ||
Hello, The other day, I was walking around under the stars when I noticed something different about them. For the first time, I began to think in a different perspective. It was a perspective I knew all along, but never chose to think in that way before. Allow me to share this with you. When most people refer to space, constellations, galaxies, planets, solar systems, stars, and so forth, They refer to it terms that it's all in a fixed position. That somehow all of the things we see at night are always there in the same spot day after day. I began thinking about this when all of a sudden it hit me. Things in space are not stationary. In fact, everything is moving. It appears that when people think of the stars being in the same place day after day, they fail to concider the fact that the Earth has moved nearly a million and a half miles since the day before, the solar system has travelled as a whole nearly a million miles, and the rest of the galaxy has also moved. This movement has been constant since the day of creation. However, you have people who come along and boast about the Big Bang Theory without ever concidering the Phenomenon past the fact itself; never thought about the kinds of changes that that picture of the Universe implies ... the vast silent journeys, the terrible speeds. They never concider how such a blank explaination diminishes the wonderous story of God's hand. When I look into the nighttime sky, I don't see a silent journey anymore. I see the precision of God's handiwork. I see his ever steadying hand guiding the course of each and every star. Yes, the Universe is moving, but look at the precision in which it moves. The constellation Orion has been noted all throughout History. The name Orion is believed to have come from the ancient Summarian name of that constellation: Uru-ana. The Orion Constellation is that of the Hunter. It's form is steeped in mythology from nearly every culture across the gloabe throughout history. What amazes me is that through nearly 10,000 years of recorded history, this constellation has remained the same. With all the movements and travels that this old Universe has undergone, the constellations of today appear the same as they did several thousand years ago. With all this precision visible to Mankind, how on earth can people say "There is no God!"? When all is said and done, all I can do is quote Hebrews 10:31. "It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!" Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Hello, You commented that I shouldn't tell you what others are saying if I can't help a person. Actually, I was trying to help. The issue about the mosaic authorship was brought up. I provided information and materials that supported the Mosaic authorship and refuted the JEDP idea. In a following post, I provided by what authority I have to make such claims about the Mosaic Authorship. To sum it up, My training in College is in this field. My master's degree will be in this field. I have devoted my life to not only understanding what the Bible teaches, but how we got the Bible. Now, my comments about feeling as though I was being Patronized were brought about because of your recommendation that all I had to do was to go to an online search engine and type in the words. Sorry, but there is much more to it than that. Also, not all of the online content can be trusted. Some can, but not all. I learned that the hard way. Also, I don't know where you get the idea that I was calling people names. I was stating fact, that is all. If you don't realize that, than it's not my problem. Also, you commented that there was no need to get mad or be hostile. My question in return is this, "Why did you get Hostile then?" Jesusman |

Hello, The first question I must ask is, "Do you know more than Moses or Jesus?" Jesus confirmed the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Also, As I have pointed out, the existance of the Code of Hammurabi, found in 1902, proves that not only was there a law and form of writing prior to Moses, but that Moses could've written the Pentateuch. The JEDP idea is based upon the belief that written text didn't come about until several centuries after Moses, and that such a detailed Law was developed over many centuries. The Code of Hammurabi disproves both of the presuppositions that JEDP is based upon. Also, as I have pointed out, A person's writing style changes over time. Moses just didn't sit down at his laptop, and type out the Pentateuch in a couple weeks. It took him over 40 years to write it. 40 years is a long time. A person's writing style will change, as will his vocabulary, and grammer. On top of that, there is the differences between the terms YHWH and Elohim, the two terms that JEDP involves. YHWH is the personal name for God, and impies a meaning of presence. Elohim is more generic, and implies a meaning of unity and strength. It is also plural, while YHWH is singular. Such differences are pertainent to the context in which they are used. Sorry, but the developers of the JEDP idea are wrong, and have been wrong for nearly a century. As for the bit about being patronized, as I said, my degree is in this subject. I have several books on this subject, research papers from college, as well as photocopied material from research texts from the library. Just because you found some information on the internet doesn't mean squat. Try researching that information, and analyze it next to modern archeology. You will find that the JEDP idea is a dead and ancient philosophy with no bearing in reality. Liberal theology is the reason why many of these cooky ideas get developed in the first place. Instead of looking at the Scriptures at face value, many liberals will disavow miracles because they cannot be proven through science (which I have yet to understand), disavow the authorship of the biblical texts for some unknown reason, and attempt to find an explaination that fits their own perverted desires. I have never understood where the idea came from to not believe the miracles took place because they couldn't be proven by science. The very definition of "Miracle" is that it is an event which is "supernatural" or beyond nature. Science is the study of the natural. By their very definitions science and Miracles are incompatable. As a result, The liberals are the ones who came up with the swoon theory for the resurrection, the crazy notion that Jesus passed out on the cross, and the damp air of the tomb awakened him. It was the liberals who came up with the idea that instead of walking on the water, Jesus actually stepped on stones that where just below the surface of the water. These are only two of the thousands of silly explainations that the liberal theologins have developed. Jesusman |

Hello, The Code of Hammurabi dates back to around 2000 BC, nearly 500 years prior to Moses. The Code of Hammurabi is a large stone monument with laws written on it. This was found in what was then, Babylon, in 1902. The finding of this code proves that not only was there a system of writing prior to Moses, but that there was formed laws and governments also. Thus proving that Moses could have written the Pentateuch. On top of that, you have egyptian history to confirm that Egypt had a detailed grammer and law set up during the Time of Moses, which he would've benefited from. Also, The place where Abraham traveled is Mesopotamia. The place where the first forms of writing developed, as well as math and science was born. Also, animal skins were used to write on for many centuries. It is reasonable that Abraham had a copy of the book of Job in written form, and passed it down until it eventually reached Moses. The technology and ability would have been well within Abraham's reach. On top of that, the JEDP idea doesn't hold water anyway. The Pentateuch was written over a period of 40plus years. It is a known fact that a person's writing style (grammer, vocabulary, posture, and so on) changes over time. I do not write the same way now, as I did when I was 8. Do you? The differences in termanology can easily be explained by this. Also, there is the differences in meaning. YHWH has a different meaning than ELOHIM. Such differences are important within the context in which they are used. As a final note, I have studied this topic at length. This very subject was my major in college. My master's and doctorite will also be in this field, Lord Willing. So please, Don't patronize me. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

96 | Is the wedding feast symbloic or literal | John | Jesusman | 40174 | ||
Hello, As I said before, it is an interesting analysis. However, I find it often dangerous to dive into the symbolic nature of many passages and events in the Bible. It is too easy to come up with something that can't be supported with scripture. Also, what the "symbols" may represent to you, may not coinside with another's interpretation of symbols. Then all you have is an argument brewing. So, as I said, it is interesting, but a dangerous area. I am mostly passing a word of caution to you. Among other scholars and Bible Teachers, such conversations could prove useful. However to the unchurched or newborn christian, such teachings may do more harm than good. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Actually, no one really knows who wrote Job. It's unlikely that it was written by Moses because it is dated to have been written during the Time between Noah and Abraham. The author is possibly Job himself. Jesusman |
