On further thought, I think the anti-christ might just be a zha bor. Because the devil also know how to apply "biblical principles". Christians have first a...

Laughing

I missed that Church in Aussie...

vince69 SG

normally the rows at the side, near to the nursery.

ben1xy SG

i will leave the theological wrestling to the theologians bah. i will stick to the hands-on aspects of church work and of couse occassional readings of my books.

oh yah icey, why don't u go study theology or something, seems u appear to take great interest. it'd be good and u will get the chance to debate stuff out with the profs

ben1xy SG

it's a really beautiful church. u shld come during WYD! see the Pope. Very Happy

ben1xy SG

ohh, the right side. i think we migt not have met then. i always take the left exit. and the cell grp i attended was for young adults.. all around 20-ish

vince69 SG

haha... I no choice, my baby is inside the nursery... Laughing

Icemoon SG

Correct me if I'm wrong, the church BS do not often talk about the historical aspect. At the most is one or two passing remark about some Protestant history.

Maybe the Catholic Church organises talks n classes to discuss Augustine and Aquinas .. but I don't think most Protestant Church so siao on go and organize classes talk about Luther, Edwards or Wesley.

Seriously how much do Methodists know about the Wesley brothers?
How much do Presbyterians know about John Knox, Luther and Calvin?
How much do American Christians know about Edwards and Finney?

You know la .. the only non biblical names "worthy" to be mentioned in many "big churches" are what? Hagan? Copland? XX? YY?

So many Protestants dunno who is Isaac Watts .. but they know who is Hillsong?! Rolling Eyes

Icemoon SG

haha .. read the bible doesn't guarantee you know your history. Mr. Green

vince69 SG

don't want, sure very crowded one.

The last time I was there, was like 6yrs back, when I was in Sydney (Business Meetings)

vince69 SG

at least will know, the church not start from hillsongs and tongues mah... Smile

Icemoon SG

Wah .. then I forever never graduate.

Time in Catholic bible college + time in Protestant bible college + time in Jewish bible college.

I wonder whether they let me do my industrial attachment in the Vatican. Mr. Green

Icemoon SG

Hey .. the church did start from tongues! Twisted Evil

we must remember the significance of wu3 xun2 jie2.

vince69 SG

then you become Father Rev Rabbi ?

ben1xy SG

oh, i always thought that at least they would talk about the reformation period or maybe the crusades or inquisition (they can attack Catholics with this Twisted Evil ). I see history as being very important. it shapes theology and the church itself. the impact that history has on the evolution of our faith must never be understated. it helps depict a clearer picture and let us understand what went wrong where our differences lie.

but i'm sure pastors going through theology school would have to take up modules on that right? i wonder how neutral the material are? do they all turn out to be like Loraine Boettner's book that was so bias?

ben1xy SG

i help u pan out your academic path from my bias perpective

Bachelor in Theology (Protestant) (Hon)
Master in Judaism
PhD (Catholicism)

vince69 SG

I wonder if there are any books on Church History from the Catholic point of view (I have a few from the Protestant POV),... maybe its time I go back to the bookshop at St. Peter and St. Paul to have a look...

ben1xy SG

he can get married like that. hahaa. those anglican pastors are allowed to be priests when they convert even when they are married

u've found a loophole in the system Mr. Green

ben1xy SG

i have a lot of books on that

i'm an avid fan of church history esp. the early foundings, crusades and inquisition. it's all at home. i can lend u if u promise to return Mr. Green

Icemoon SG

Got talk so much history meh?! Any Protestant can verify this? Rolling Eyes

I suspect historical literacy ranks lowest among the classes conducted by the church. Any Protestant wants to dispute this?
