Guessing you mean "vain" repetitions, not vein. I attended a Bible study with some fundamentalist Christians at one time and they most definitely repeated words and phrases over and over.

Are you talking about megachurches like these? Do you believe in the prosperity Gospel?

Apparently Stonehead doesn't live in the country. If he did, he'd soon notice (especially in Missouri and southward, as well as rural Alaska like around Wasilla), the abundance of tiny little cinderblock buildings that are the churches for Assembly of God and other fundie groups. Each one is sure that HIS church has the One True Path to Jesus, and Trump is His prophet.
 
Did the Early church blend in MANY aspects of pagan religions in order to be accepted throughout Europe as the basis for Catholicism? Inquiring minds want to know....:thinking:

And I guarantee the same claims will be echoed in several of the Evangelical churches

Living in the country does not mean the same thing in all areas. I do in fact live in a rural area. No cinderblock churches here.

Seriously?

I was 100% against it. But I didn't know one conservative who agreed w/ me. Come to think of it, I don't think I know one conservative who didn't call me a traitor for being against it.

Good on you (if you're truthin', that is).

Yet you voted for Hillary who voted FOR the war.

Yet you are going to vote for Biden; who voted FOR the war.

You won't vote for Trump; the guy who was against it. :palm:

I feel bad for you as I have nothing against Catholics whatsoever as many are very fine people. I just never understood why the church makes such a point of doing things that the Bible makes a point in saying......." whatever you do, dont do this!" I just think its is mostly a problem of not reading the word enuff and putting way too much faith into what men say instead of what scripture says.

You are not reading what the scripture says.

The scripture was not written in English.

The NT was written in ancient Greek and the OT was written in ancient Hebrew, neither of which you can read.

Any translation, including a vernacular English translation, is a pale imitation of the original language the scripture were written in - and translations never are 100 percent successful and accurate at capturing the meaning and intent of the original language.

That is why trained theologians spend years at colleges and seminary studying theology and frequently becoming familiar with Greek and Latin.

The bible is not something that can be cherry picked for quotes. And I believe it is a dubious proportion to expect a person of average intelligence, reading a 20th century English translation of ancient Greek, to really become a theological expert on the meaning and intent of ancient scripture

A lot of conservatives are belatedly claiming they opposed the invasion of Iraq, rather than confessing they were wrong to support it.

In 2003 on message boards, there were very close to zero conservatives who opposed invading Iraq

I supported it. I still believed it was right. I will still defend it with the facts with anyone who has the balls to engage me.

Did you vote for Hillary? She voted FOR the war.

Are you going to vote for Biden? He voted FOR that war.

Trump is the only one here against it and yet, you are going to choose the people who did exactly what you disagree with. Irony. :palm:

I laugh a little every time conservatives try to portray Biden as the incoherent, unhinged one....

I laugh every time a leftist says they are Christian! The catholic Church cringes every time he says he is catholic, I don't care if he is or not he isn't a Christian!
 
I noticed nobody answered my question about the early church blending in many aspects of pagan religions so they would be accepted across Europe thus forming the basis of the Catholic Church. Cant say I blame you...;)
