I say the Catholic Grace Prayer before meals: "Bless us O Lord and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord. Amen.". That is the biblical and historical Jesus that Catholics believe in and worship and not a false jesus.

John 15:18   If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Brother Dave,
I encourage you NOT to give 'John from Atlanta' a platform to spew out his rhetoric. This thread will top over 300 comments if you do, for he hasn't ears to hear. He comes here to push his 'religious' agenda, and has no desire for sound truth. He's been given enough of it on these threads, no more casting pearls before swine

but the textbooks themselves. So much of their evidence has been proven to be straight up hoaxes, mistakes, or just bad science, yet the textbooks have never been updated, edited to address or completely remove all of the nonsense they still point to as their proof of evolution.

When I was growing up outside the church, we were taught it was the largest ever land creature from millions of years a go- OK, I bought the story

In College I find out there was no such thing, it was just a mixture of bones from other dinosaurs (Camarasaurus & Apatosaurus). In 1979 it became official, Bronto never exited. But I noticed it remained in cartoons

Earlier this year, I see Brontosaurus in Wikipedia. I'm like huh? Yep, in 2015, they brought her back

oy vey
Not only have they hoaxed bones, mismatched bones, made composite bones, filed down bones to make them fit evolution...now they are bringing back old lies and wiki doesn't mention that the previous museum pieces were fiction

Not only do they go to hell themselves but they would teach children to go to hell too.

Hus was accused of teaching Consubstantiation vs Transubstantiation. Hus at his trial denied this. But even if he taught the former, he would be in violation of the Westminster Catechism and deemed a heretic. If he taught the latter as he testified, he would be labelled lost(or a Jesuit troll) by members of this board

Since Westcott and Hort were Church of England clergymen of the 1800s(a conservative time), why call their work popish? I understand people saying their work embraced the arminians in the COE, but hardly popish. The RCC had no problem with the KJV friendly Douay–Rheims Bible, but the Douay–Rheims Bible ran counter to the work of Westcott and Hort

From the first edition of 1560 Geneva Bible and its last edition in 1644, 160 editions, totaling around a half million Geneva Bibles, were produced. And for the first time common people could not only understand the words in the Bible, they could actually own one. Its widespread use first solidified the English language among the common people, not the 1611 King James Bible as many assume. Actually, the King James Bible required decades to surpass the popularity of the Geneva and supplant it from the hearts of the English speaking world and only achieved this by making it illegal in 1616 to print any other copy other than the 1611 KJV.
Tyndale used Erasmus’s Greek text (third edition) to produce the first printed English New Testament in 1526.
He later revised his New Testament and it was printed in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1534. Despite living as a hunted criminal, Tyndale’s work was exceptional and so accurate that the later widespread Geneva and King James Bibles would utilize more than 80 percent of his exact wording. In fact, much of the vast influence attributed to the Geneva and King James Bibles should be attributed to one man whom God used for His purpose — William Tyndale

Gal. 3:28 refers to justification, none of mans differences matter as they stand before god. With respect to their salvation all who have on Jesus Christ are all one in Christ Jesus. There are still men and women, black and white.
In Acts Cornelius is a slave owner, is he a manstealer? Acts 10:28 Peter receives a vision from God to go to Cornelius a slave owning Gentile. jews by their law were forbidden to associate with gentiles. God did not create equality between men.

Exodus 21:16   And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

this story appears regularly, and it has the same '...applies across all faith traditions studied...' which means Muslims in their mosques, Buddhists in their meditation centers, are getting the same benefit, without quoting any Bible verses. And I wonder if it includes the Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda, California, who are famed for being healthy and long-lived. Maybe it has to do with not using caffeine, tobacco, pork, etc.

Sadly not always if you examine many of today's tracts. They often do not define even simple basic bible terms. In Ryle's day people still heard about the God of the Bible, so had some idea of what the basics of the gospel are. Today if a tract doesn't mention the Divinity of Christ and who our Creator is; rarely mentions/explains even the most fundamental doctrine of 'Justification By Faith ALONE;' doesn't refer to sin as 1 John 3:4 'Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.' and therefore doesn't even mention what a law breaker is in the sight of a Holy God?
