It is honestly sad, the number of times I've come across devout Roman Catholics who are utterly unaware of the fact that Scripture tells us St Peter had a mother-in-law, and that Bishops and Presbyters (Priests) have rules clearly indicating they can be married.

Dispensationalism is an heresy, because it makes God an adulterer: He lives with His "mistress" (the Church) until His "real bride" (Israel) gets her act together. This is why Dispensationalism is so utterly destructive, and is the actual "replacement theology".

One of the most painful things for me is the reality that, almost certainly, I'll never be married and have children. But my Lord and Saviour never married, nor did He ever have children. So I can rest in the fact that He has gone through this loneliness and is with me still.

One of the most frustrating things about dialogue between Romanists and Protestants is that the Romanist will continually cite heretics like John MacArthur as authoritative representatives of Protestantism...and we can't even cite the literal "Vicar of Christ" to represent them.

The number one reason liturgical worship is better than spontaneous worship is this: no matter what my feelings are, the worship in the Book of Common Prayer is the same. If my worship is spontaneous, then of necessity it is based upon my own (or the worship leaders') feelings.

When you keep referring to those in the Papal Communion as "Catholic" and yourself as "not Catholic", one of two things will happen: 1) You'll oppose the historic consensus of the Church and her unity, or 2) You'll believe the lie that Rome is the fullness of the Faith.
