Wasn’t he a hall of fame wide receiver for the Redskins?

To help fill up heaven with the big vacancy Lucifer and his followers left.

Warfield.

Sproul says he is the second greatest American Theologian. First being Edwards.

Thanks for pointing to the web site. I had not run across the word “bibliophile” before and had to look up the definition. Thanks for the education!

Tangent comment - Jesus did not come to condemn the world. The world (as in all sinners) was already condemned. Sometimes that simple concept is missed.

Jesus Christ was born in order to found the Catholic Church, which exists to dispense his grace to mankind through the ordinary means of his sacraments.

The summit of the sacraments is the Eucharist, in which we consume the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The principal effect of the sacrament is the strengthening of charity. Charity is the very Form or Nature of God. I.e., by receiving the Eucharist we become divinized, sharing in the divine nature.

I apologize. Warfield never played for the Skins. First, the Browns, then the Dolphins. He is in the Hall of Fame though.

Another poster mentioned Sproles however. Despie good seasons with San Diego and New Orleans, he's still active on the Philadelphia Eages' roster and, therefore, not eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

No.

Christ didn’t come here to found a heretical cult. He came to pay the price for our sins — to save us — to save sinners.

The Roman Catholic Cult wasn’t founded until around 300 AD anyway, so, it seems your math is a little off.

Nice try though.

How about Jesus own words?

“For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, TO BEAR WITNESS TO THE TRUTH.”! John 18:37

Any professional historian would laugh at the assertion that the Catholic Church was founded in 300 A.D.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said “All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them”
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

I’ll take 300 A.D. over 1530, 1580, 1650, 1830, 1912, etc.

But even Pilate had sense enough to ask what the truth was.
