Re: 2/3 of Roman Catholic Churches in Baltimore to close

The fact is any religion, regardless even of its truth, that ASKS of you is more likely to be supported than those that do not. People want to believe in something that is worthwhile. You strive through Marine boot camp precisely BECAUSE it is hard. That does not mean harder is better, and a religi...

Re: 2/3 of Roman Catholic Churches in Baltimore to close

This post strikes me as opinionated gossip rather than fact-based. Some additional information that is fact-based is essential to a complete picture as it were. I do know individual priests from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and even some who graduated from St. Mary's. They are not homosexual and ca...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Look, if I have not made this clear, under no conditions would I doubt any of your salvation. I may disagree with your theology, and I may not be comfortable with your methods. But I would never question the salvation of those who rely on the name of the Lord Jesus. Once again, apologies for the har...

I thought so.
Some NMBs arrive with a notion,driven by what they seeking . We perhaps were blessed, as we went through the back door and had no clue what to expect.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I am most certainly not reformed . I do not know how to make it more clear, A book burning of Grudem’s systematic theology maybe? Yet you associate with people who teach Reformed doctrines (perhaps not all five points), print Reformed articles, and use Reformed language. It should not be entirely s...

I just choose not to buy a copy, but I sympathize with the sentiment.
It is a guilt offering in atonement for my abrupt response to the others here.

Re: 2/3 of Roman Catholic Churches in Baltimore to close

More than one truth can be present. Did the abuse scandals cost the Balt Archdiocese financially? Absolutely Did they wait too late to do consolidation due to dwindling numbers? Unquestionably Was this Archdiocese led well over the years? Heck no. Did you know the unofficial but widely used nicknam...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Once again you obscure what is a simple question. Do you agree with reformed theology? Yes or no. Refusing to answer simply means that you are trying to hide your position. Are you doing this to continue to appeal to people who reject your position? Only cults try to hide their views, Judas Maccabe...
