    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    That doesn’t change what I stated. I still maintain that the Catholic church practices heavenly worship because of John’s revelation of heavenly worship he saw as part of the events surrounding the Second Coming. That Christianity has Jewish influences (the Torah) doesn’t change this. Yes...

    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    It is both a vision of the future John was shown of heavenly worship and it is used as a model for some Christians as heavenly worship. I think that the only reason there is heavenly worship in the Catholic church is because John had a future vision of it. OK, even if we were to not count...

    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    OK, I have not had time to do a thorough breakdown. I thought I would just give a summary of the way I see the Book of Revelation. There is basically a threefold division: past, present, and future. Chapter 1 is related to the past as John is told to “write the things which thou hast seen”...

    OK, give me some time and I will put something together.

    What Does Being Christian Really Mean?

    I really like Pope Francis and I think his example seems more Christ-like than other Popes in recent past. I would disagree with him if he thinks that government is the best vehicle to exhibit Christ-like compassion towards the poor. Although, I’m not sure he is saying that. For me...

    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    My apologies for the late reply. I disagree about Liturgy being practiced nearly exactly the same as it is today. I think it has evolved, and no it wasn't a drastic change in a few decades, that is not what I'm suggesting. Regarding your other responses, they do not address the main point I'm...

    Is Obama really a liberal?

    Coming from people as far left as those at Undernews, it is no surprise they see Obama that way. I think this might be a more objective view of where Obama is on the political spectrum. An Update on the Presidential Square Wave | voteview blog

    The Most Powerful Corporation in History

    I think that the greater the power the greater the market will be for government corruption. Does the increase in power of the US government increase the market for lobbyists? I think it does.

    Issues with Joseph Smith and the Mormon Church

    I’m fully aware of the many issues surrounding the history and claims of the LDS church. I have studied these issues a great deal. Some issues are easier to dismiss and others are difficult if not impossible to dismiss. For myself, I do have doubts about some of the LDS church’s teachings and...

    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    You didn’t answer my question. Do you believe the Liturgy as practiced today is exactly the same as in St. Justin’s time? The only thing the writings of St. Justin, St. James, or St. John verify that I'm aware of is that the Eucharist was practiced, something Christ taught the apostles at the...

    The Book of Revelation is not about the end of the world

    I apologize; let me clarify. I’m just making a claim based upon the evidence I’ve seen. While it may not be completely proven, the evidence points towards my claim. The only descriptions we have of early Christian practices are regarding the Eucharist and there is nothing about other current...

    Why Science vs. Religion Cannot Be Discusses (Argued)

    I think you can test the most important religious teachings by living them, by acting on that leap of faith. Giving service, loving your neighbor as yourself, praying, fasting, repenting, etc. All these things can be tested to see how they affect us individually. The joy and happiness I...

    Why Science vs. Religion Cannot Be Discusses (Argued)

    Science has limitations and each of us can gain knowledge in other ways that are outside the boundaries of science. Science doesn't even address the supernatural, so how can we expect science to provide evidence of God? Science and Creationism: A View from the National Academy of Sciences...
