With all the talk about Hunter Biden these days, one might get the impression that he is the only child of a politician to benefit from his parents’ position and the last name they inherited. Before Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, got his strange but lucrative deal to sit on the board of energy company Burisma Holdings in Ukraine to the tune of $50,000 a month, there was Chelsea Clinton, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She was similarly rewarded with jobs and board positions that had absolutely no relationship with that young woman’s interests, life, education or any perceived expertise. All of this has racked up to what the New York Post reported back in 2015 was an estimated net worth of $15 million for the then-34-year-old. More recently, Barron’s, the finance newspaper, revealed that Chelsea Clinton has now reaped $9 million from a corporate board position. In 2011, while her mother was still secretary of state, she was appointed to IAC/Interactive, an Internet investment company. She receives an annual $50,000 retainer and $250,000 worth of restricted IAC stock units, according to Barron’s. Ironically, and something the Clintons would be loathed to admit, they like most other American families benefitted from President Donald Trump’s leadership and correlating economic renaissance. The Hill reported, “IAC stock has risen 89%, 50% and 36% in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively, a far steeper rise in the broader stock market Consequently, Chelsea Clinton reported in December of last year her holdings ballooned to $8.95 million. In 2017, Chelsea Clinton was also named to travel site Expedia’s Board of Directors. Because she’s a … business genius? A travel genius? An investment prodigy? The Hill
Poster Comment: The Clintons are racketeers and murderers. The pile of dead bodies they leave behind them in their unhindered quest for illegal riches should be enough to lock the three of them away for 50 years. Incidentally, Chelsea is absolutely ghastly looking and watching her speak is like a Disney cartoon come to life. Her comments are always vacuously stupid.

These books (the Apocrypha), though valuable documents, were never in the Hebrew canon of Scripture. The Hebrews excluded the Apocrypha because these books contain errors.
Paul prevailed over Peter because Peter was in error. Peter was causing a division in the church because of his fear of displeasing the Judaizers. Paul rebuked Peter and corrected the whole lot of them...that we are saved by grace not by works of the Law. The conflict was short lived. By Acts 15:7 Peter affirms the gospel message. BTW Peter was never a stinking Pope...there is no such office listed in the Bible.
I think Paul had a very aggressive personality. That trait does come through in his writings and these other descriptions we have of him. He must have had a very powerful and charismatic effect on people. Anyway, that's how I read him from what the bible describes.
Yeah, all the apostles were a pretty rough bunch. Saul before he was Paul participated in stonings, you know, killing people with rocks. Peter, a fisherman, used a sword to hack an ear off a dude. James and John were known locally as the "Sons of Thunder" Even so, God tenderized them...and made them useful.
The Hebrews excluded those books at Jamnia, 90 years into the Christian era. They also insist that Isaiah does not speak of the son of a virgin, but the son of a young woman. If one wishes to hitch one's star to the Jews, in for a penny, in for a pound. Stop eating shrimp and bacon, and cut off the end of your dick.
That's novel. Keep it up, please. Keep heaping derision on Mary.
I want to urge you to keep saying evil things, to get so full of yourself and such a head of steam on you keep right on down that self-righteous road of yours, spewing nonsense and contempt at holy things.
You are suggesting that the Apocrypha was part of the Hebrew canon up until Jamnia, and then tossed out. That isn't the case at all.
Every time you elevate Mary, you diminish Jesus Himself. Can Jesus do anything without his baby-mama? Anything at all? Catholics elevate Mary to the point that she replaces the Father/Son/Spirit entirely in their minds. You know it's true.
The disputed books were not included in the original NT canon for sound reasons. The Maccabees were just a history of a series of recent wars for Jewish independence from Rome. A few others were dubious rehashes of Daniel. And so on. They were considered carefully and rejected as inferior at Hippo. The account of the Maccabees is interesting and sets the stage historically for the appearance of Christ and the rebellion that ended with the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70AD. But they had no greater spiritual merit than the history written by Josephus a little later after he went Benedict Arnold and threw in with the Roman conquerors. A history book is not a spiritual book. Such was the judgment of the council of Hippo and subsequent ratifications of Hippo's NT canon.
I know that’s completely untrue, pure falsehood produced by the distempered Protestant mind.
You ought to Google the Council of Hippo to see those books you say were rejected in fact confirmed by that council, which was, by the way, a regional synod, not an ecumenical Council. Please do continue to spout falsehood.
The account of the Maccabees... Errors in the Apocrypha...Money as an offering for the sins of the dead: From https://carm.org/catholic/errors-apocrypha Vic can buy you a stairway to heaven TC...but I have a feeling it is gonna cost way more than twelve thousand drachms of silver to save your sin blighted soul ;)
Vic isn't a follower of Christ. He is a follower of the Pope. If Vic always prays in Marys name God don't even hear his prayers. Vic is deceived and trying to deceive with his doctrine of demons. He is to educated to have common sense. In other words brainwashed.
She is dead and you even admitted that you don't even know if she hears your prayers. She is a dead sinner that practiced repentance. Here is another verse that shows you are not to worship sinners. Even Mary mother of Jesus. 27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
No purgatory fool. It isn't in the Bible and this proves it scripturally. You are scriptureally challenged that is why you never quote it like Jesus did. You just worship some stupid Pope who covers up fore pedophiles. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
It is false teaching and a lie that Jesus said the Church was to be based on Peter. Do you understand that Count? 24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Yes it is simple if you just ignore all the lies taught in Catholic "Church". A saint is a Christian. A saint isn't a saint because some poop stained Pope says so. 1 Corinthians 1:2 King James Version 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
Don't worship the Pope and don't pray to the fake Mary. 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
It's not Mary you fools. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
The Catholic Cult changed Gods plan for Bishops too. 1 Timothy 3:2 King James Version 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Since they changed it unmarried faggots are running rampant in the church molesting thousands of kids. Come out of the whore church,
Hey Count. You should actually read the Bible and believe it instead of lying to us here about the word of God. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The Catholics lie and disobey God by prohibiting marriage. Why would anyone be so stupid after all these things the fake church Catholics does. 1 Timothy 4:3-4 King James Version 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Vic is a good guy, a caring person who would give you his coat and his shirt too. This is a fact. And yet, if he believes all the Catholic nonsense he posts here, then yes, he is deceived. The Catholic religion is a powerful force in the minds of those who are caught up in it. The Catholics can no more free themselves from their beliefs than the Jehovah's Witnesses can. (ever try to win a JW to Christ?) Looking in on Catholic comment sections, you find the Catholics will recognize that the Pope is false...but they turn right around and encourage one another to pray to Mary for deliverance. Heartbreaking.
Those are not errors. Those are words that demonstrate the belief in the efficacity of prayers for the dead. Your later, bogus and quite bloody-handed traditions ripped those pages out of the Bible precisely BECAUSE they conflicted with your 16th-century theories of the way things ought to be. But you're never going to be persuaded by anything, and trying to do so is a fool's errand.
It is in the Bible. Gehenna is purgatory. This is what JEWS of Jesus' day thought Gehenna was - and when he used that word, he was speaking to them, not you with your closed and historically ignorant and malicious Protestant mind: Source: "What is Gehenna: Jewish views of the Afterlife" "In rabbinic texts Gehenna played an important role as a place where unrighteous souls were punished. The rabbis believed that anyone who did not live in accordance with the ways of God and Torah would spend time Gehenna. According to the rabbis some of the transgressions that would merit a visit to Gehenna included idolatry (Taanit 5a), incest (Erubin 19a), adultery (Sotah 4b), pride (Avodah Zarah 18b), anger and losing one's temper (Nedarim 22a). Of course, they also believed that anyone who spoke ill of a rabbinic scholar would merit time in Gehenna (Berakhot 19a)." "In order to avoid a visit to Gehenna the rabbis recommended that people occupy themselves "with good deeds" (Midrash on Proverbs 17:1). "He who has Torah, good deeds, humility and fear of heaven will be saved from punishment in Gehenna," says Pesikta Rabbati 50:1. In this way the concept of Gehenna was used to encourage people to live good, ethical lives and to study Torah. In the case of transgression, the rabbis prescribed teshuvah (repentance) as the remedy. Indeed, the rabbis taught that a person could repent even at the very gates of Gehenna (Erubin 19a)." "For the most part the rabbis did not believe souls would be condemned to eternal punishment. "The punishment of the wicked in Gehenna is twelve months," states Shabbat 33b, while other texts say the time-frame could be anywhere from three to twelve months. Yet there were transgressions that the rabbis felt did merit eternal damnation. These included: heresy, publicly shaming someone, committing adultery with a married woman and rejecting the words of the Torah. However, because the rabbis also believed that one could repent at any time, the belief in eternal damnation was not a predominant one." Gehenna is Purgatory, not eternal Hell.
1 Timothy 3:2 King James Version 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Since they changed it unmarried faggots are running rampant in the church molesting thousands of kids. Come out of the whore church, What Jesus said: "For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.” The Latin Church decided to take this literally and make celibacy a disciple of the Latin Clergy, and this was generally practiced from the 400s onward.
The Catholics can no more free themselves from their beliefs than the Jehovah's Witnesses can. (ever try to win a JW to Christ?) The Protestant religion is a powerful force in the minds of those who are caught up in it. Protestants can no more free themselves from their beliefs than the Catholics can.
When I married her, my wife was a Jehovah's Witness, as is her entire family. She grew up in that denomination and practiced it for many years. I've attended meetings with her and her family. She attended Mass with me as well. 15 years ago, she converted to Catholicism, was confirmed, and is a more reliable churchgoer than I am. No, I did not "win a JW for Christ". JW's are already very much for Christ. She changed the form of her religion, because of what she saw at the Mass, and what she saw among Catholics. Came to her own decision to do that. The Church won her over, not me. She was with Christ before, she's still with Christ, but now she puts up a Christmas tree and sings along with the carols. Catholicism is a happier religion than Jehovah's Witness-ism, and she prefers to be happy.
Those are not errors. Those are words that demonstrate the belief in the efficacity of prayers for the dead. Here's another example of error in the Apocrypha: Tobit 12:9, "For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting." Alms can "purgeth away sin"? No! Only the blood of Christ can purge away sin. This is why the Apocrypha was excluded from the canon. Do you believe that sins are purged by alms? Can a person buy salvation from God? Can you just give some cash and receive everlasting life? That's precisely what the Catholic Church teaches. Nice little side hustle. Ka-ching! Another soul cleared from purgatory!
JW's deny the deity of Christ...rendering His death on the cross to no avail.
Protestants for the most part come to Christ after they have come to an age of accountability...many never having been brought up in a Christian environment. They receive Christ willingly, knowingly. Catholics inculcate their children from birth...often passive but always pervasive. And if its not the parents its the aunts and uncles, or the rest of the extended family. I see this first hand in all my Catholic friends. I performed the marriage ceremony of a dear Catholic couple, but only after they had attended my house church for a very long time and clearly understood salvation. I have to tell you, they found love and fellowship with us, while the priest would not give them the time of day. Some damnable Catholic issue he had, I forget exactly what. That marriage was many years ago and they are happily married today. But that Catholicism had a terrible hold on them...guilt and fear that they were somehow not right.
Jesus said that God judges based on sin, forgiveness and deeds. He said that those who forgive, are forgiven, to the extent they forgive, and spoke of those who do not help the poor as being sent into the lake of fire. What are alms? Helping the poor. So yes, giving money to help the poor is certainly a deed on which one is judged - favorably - by God. Just like the Bible says. You Protestants took the parts out of the Bible that don't fit your cranky 450 year old theology.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
So, you can buy your way into heaven?
Sort of. By doing what Jesus said, you can guarantee yourself a passing grade at the final judgment. For men are judged on their deeds. Alms are deeds. So is forgiving.
You like to boast a lot. About how you are more ho.y because of some rats you imagined God raised. You like to brag that you are rich. You are wrong. Not sure if you are lying or just ignorant. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I DO ignore all the lies that have been foisted upon a once pious and religious people. Since Vatican II the church, once called Roman Catholic Church, is gone. Gone is the adulation and awe that was once this great institution but now is enmeshed in secular humanism, slander and pedophilia. It is today an insult to God and to all those who have died in and died for the faith. It has fomented a new religion that worships mankind and the earth.
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
In the case of the politically powerful,it is ALWAYS about money laundering in payment for getting new laws passed that benefit the people doing the hiring,or old laws being repealed that hurt them. In plain language,it is political corruption.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I like to annoy the holier-than-thou crowd of pious "Christian" hypocrites, for whom the rules are "Good for me, but not for thee." I have never said that I am more holy because God talks to me, saved me from drowning paralysed with a broken neck when I was boy, and raised two dead animals in my hands. I note those things as the facts they are, and explain that they are the REASON I am certain about the existence of God. The people who are worried that this makes me "holier than thou" are you, not me. You keep returning to those things, AS THOUGH I were claiming authority on account of them - I don't even bring them up. I know my proximity to God, at least at times, because of those events. I never presume to talk about yours. Rather, my proximity to God worries you, annoys you, enrages you, to the point YOU keep returning to it like a dog who can't help licking a wound. Of course, my blessings are not a wound to you at all, UNLESS you're one of those holier- than-thou Christian hypocrites, for whom it is OUTRAGEOUS that God would be so forward with someone who "Believes wrong", like me (in your oft-stated opinion). It's you who changes my blessings into boasts, because you want to find a handhold, some purchase, by which to attack those experiences (because blessed, holy you has not experienced them, and YOU practice RIGHT religion...according to you, and because there's no reason that a CATHOLIC sinner should be so blessed.) It angers you, at God, so you direct your rage at me - calling me a liar (I'm not), saying I boast about these things (I don't - YOU keep bringing them up, because the thought of them torments YOU, I am completely serene about it all). And, typical of your breed, you can't even choose passages of Scripture that make your point. You're focused on the old Catholic/Lutheran faith versus works business, and asserting something about works. But I didn't heal my own neck, and I didn't raise those two animals from the dead - if I had the power to do works like that I'd be in the world news everyday, healing everybody in hospital after hospital, bringing back kids who got hit by busses or drowned in the lake. Obviously those miracles were not MY works, they were acts of God. Really what you're trying to do is forbid God from healing a Catholic and raising animals from the dead. That's not the world you want to live in. It's not RIGHT, according to YOUR religion. Evidently God doesn't agree with you. You're mad at HIM for doing what he did, so you yell at me. And you don't even see that that is what you're doing. Rage on! For my part, it simply lets me set the record straight over and over - and in the process relive the most gloriously stunning moments of my life. For your part, well, God hears and sees everything, so really by punching at me about miracles he did, you're goading him to do the same for you. Maybe he will. I certainly do not presume to know the intentions of God half as much as you do with your off-topic Bible quotes and your hyperbolic "Christian" hypocrisy.
I dont doubt god does miracles. I just dont think god raised a dirty rodent from the dead in your hands. It either wasn't dead but and you were honestly mistaken. Or you as re lying to boast. O believe you were mistaken. That is my opinion.
Those books have been part of the Catholic Canon, East and West, since the first complete Bibles of the 300s.

And Paul prevailed over Peter before the Council, very clearly.
After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
