@hoopgod32 @TheHoopCentral Couldn’t agree more. I feel like Kidd definitely doesn’t utilize shooters well. Too much isolation and not enough movement off the ball.
@Vitus_oss Christian non denominational. Lord is drawing me to Christian history which I am beginning to examine. Love Catholics as a Protestant, see the issues with Protestantism, and I still have issues with Catholic and orthodox faith as well.
@PhilLaconic@BillArnoldTeach I was under the assumption that both the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church hold him in very high value. He was baptized just before his death. None the less, his additions to the church through his pagan and Roman ideology are staggering. Compare to Dura-Europos.
@BillArnoldTeach@VictorLegg How do Catholics argue against the understanding that the pronoun used in ancient Hebrew was masculine in that “he” crushed the head of the serpent, not she? Wasn’t it later changed by St Jerome to read feminine?
@YahwehGraced@BillArnoldTeach That’s what I said. They considered themselves Jews. The church in Antioch started the name Christian and then it was highjacked by gnostics and thus came the term Catholic to separate from the ideas of Gnosticism. Still the fulfillment of Judaism.
@YahwehGraced@BillArnoldTeach The fulfillment of what the Jews believed which was a messiah who would come to His people. The earliest Christians didn’t count themselves as not Jewish but that their faith was fulfilled through what scripture said about a savior. So Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism.
@QedMiller@BillArnoldTeach Well Paul and Peter wrote most of it along with John. So I guess if you want to consider them Catholic. The term only came from the idea that the name Christianity was being taken over by Gnostics which came later. So no not really. The Roman Catholic Church was later.
@QedMiller@BillArnoldTeach Also, how is the church guaranteed, if the church is made up of believers with free will that can fall from grace anytime? Does that not mean that the Lord protects the church and brings about its perfect endurance and salvation of believers?
@QedMiller@BillArnoldTeach I think this misses the point as to whether or not the salvation can be lost. If Paul is showing complete certainty, that would contradict the Catholic teaching especially because someone could leave the Catholic Church. So is his certainty in vain or misplaced?
@BillArnoldTeach Yeah my problem there is that Paul says that he is “certain” that God will bring what “He” started in the individual to completion. God starts it and will finish it and Paul is sure of it. If we can fall away, why would Paul be sure of it being brought to completion?
