What I find oddest about the article you posted is the recurring theme of doctors advertised with Ph.D. credentials to ostensibly boost their credibility, but that fail to document and date them. I found out he is supposed to have received his degree from Heritage Baptist University, which no longer exists having merged with Indiana Baptist College, which does not yet offer a Ph. D. But is working on one in "Ministry." Master of Ministry
Master of Arts
Master of Sacred Theology
Master of Divinity
Doctor of Ministry*
*Degrees in development
I note Creflo Dollar was awarded that degree as well, albeit from a larger institution. I suppose these religious degrees translate into dollars, as in the secular world.
I just finished two weeks of study in my college world history class on the Middle Ages (not Dark) and we studied early Christianity and the Catholic church was a impotent babe at the time of Patrick. Popes were more worried with the kings of the remnants of the Roman Empire than a missionary from what was left of Christ’s church teaching in some distant island.
The Roman Catholic church like its namesake was a thief stealing and incorporating many things which didn’t originate with them. The Catholics even adopted the pagan calendar and modified it with their version of religious dates and seasons.
None of what the Catholic church has done takes away ftom the the Savior’s message, love God, love thy neighbor, the Ten commandments, repentance, baptism, and the Holy Ghost.
I have never really understood why folks want to fight over whether or not the calendar is a religious document.
Well,at least he wasn’t a Mormon.
Next you’re going to tell me he didn’t drive the snakes out.
How did Saint Patrick walk 200 miles to get to the Irish coast? The distance from Derry to Cork is 220 miles. There is no place in Ireland that is 200 miles from the coast.
“That’s why there are so many baptists in Ireland.”
Nice...
Wishful thinking by Baptists.
Your author doesn't know the difference between St. Patrick and a Baptist, and also doesn't know the difference between St. Patrick's Day and Mardi Gras.
As for sainthood, the Catholic Church did not develop an official process for designation and canonization until centuries later, beginning in the 13th century. So it really is meaningless to argue that one saint or another was or was not "a Roman Catholic saint" back in the fifth century AD.
As a believe in Christ observing a baptist manner of worship, I really wish folks (such as Dr. Boys) would not feed into the denominationalistic feuds like this... it makes it sound like it’s all about the denomination not all about Christ. Plus, the evidence of being able to cite Patrick that way is ambiguous at best (Boys ought to know about those letters, and even if he has reason to believe they are not genuine he owes some kind of acknowledgment that the issue exists).
That said, there is much agreed about Patrick that is plug and play with both takes on Christian faith, and that is because it is carefully centered upon Jesus Christ.
I was baptized on St. Patrick’s day. In a baptist church. But, the water was not green.
Please, no facts are allowed when "feelings' must rule.
Don't tell me you believed them and were going to vote Democrat???!!
I guess Boys felt any attention was better than none at all; it made Dan Brown (?) of “The Da Vinci Code” quite wealthy.
GET
A
LIFE.
Find out what this Boys guy is drinking and order me a couple of cases.
