    I did not ransack to Capitol Building. BLM and Antifa - posing as Trump followers did. Christ is my leader and He is NOT a racist. You spew more racism than all the white people on this forum combined.

    Oh! Have you consider the source! The horned guy was arrested and caught! PHOENIX – The QAnon-supporting man who briefly took the dais during the storming of the U.S. Capitol — while wearing a fur hat topped with buffalo horns and wielding a spear — has been arrested, the Justice Department announced Saturday. Jake Angeli, of Phoenix, had been on the list of persons the Metropolitan Police of Washington D.C. said it wanted the public’s help in finding after the deadly siege of the Capitol building Wednesday by supporters of President Donald Trump. He had long dressed as a warrior in Phoenix, donning an animal fur hat topped with horns, painting his face and emerging bare-chested to show off his intricate tattoos. Jake Angeli told federal authorities he traveled to the U.S. Capitol this week to answer the call from his president, who had asked his supporters to muster in Washington, D.C., on the day Congress met to certify the election defeat of Donald Trump. That protest devolved into a riot that left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer. I told you were funny there is no cause for fighting with you my dear friend. You are good and funny to me, even though I don't agree with you. Sorry no antifa!

    Origin of Catholic Church

    "Fails to hold even moisture" How interesting! So as many other theories. Jesus did not build any church on Peter, either. Jesus called Peter a pebble not rock. Also, I am not saying that statement in Acts is the correct origination of the Catholic church. You do not have to be offended. I was just asking your opinion about Acts.

    Origin of Catholic Church

    I've heard many conspiracy theories as to how the Church was started, have to say I've never heard this one. I would agree with Gregory that your interpretation of Acts 8 fails to hold water or even moisture.

    Origin of Catholic Church

    Catholics would say that the Catholic Church began with a commission that Christ gave to Peter-- Matthew 16:18 & 19. As a Protestant, I do not agree with that understanding. However, your passage in Acts (Acts 8:19) is totally without support of the position that you suggest. Nothing in that passage suggests the founding of a Church. Your suggestion is pure and simple an example of eisegesis. It is totally without merit.

    Who's fooling who?

    Pence may become President. If so, it will only be for a few days until the 20th. If Pence does become President, that will not mean that the Bible predicted such and tha your were correct. You will still be wrong as to what the Bible predicted.

    Afrikan were not racist but sold people for years. Whites did too! What the Europeans did was even captured the ones who was selling people. Oh! Where do you find Afrikan doing chattel slavery dear Bonnie. Britian got a conscience and stopped the trade but America sneakingly kept on doing it for many years. I would like to know what history books have you read. The truth is out these days and you know what the Europeans cut up Afrika like a piece of Cake. In 1885 European leaders met at the infamous Berlin Conference to divide Africa and arbitrarily draw up borders that exist to this day. The Berlin Conference led to a period of heightened colonial activity by the European powers. With the exception of Ethiopia and Liberia, all the states that make up present day Africa were parceled out among the colonial powers within a few years after the meeting. Lines of longitude and latitude, rivers and mountain ranges were pressed into service as borders separating the colonies. Or one simply placed a ruler on the map and drew a straight line. Many historians, such as Olyaemi Akinwumi from Nasarawa State University in Nigeria, see the conference as the crucible for future inner African conflicts. 130 years ago: carving up Africa in Berlin At first this trafficking only supplemented a trade in human beings that already existed within Europe, in which Europeans had enslaved each other. Some enslaved Africans had also reached Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world before the mid-15th century, as a result of a trade in human beings that had also long existed in Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Rich and powerful Africans were able to demand a variety of consumer articles and in some places even gold for captives, who may have been acquired through warfare or by other means, initially without massive disruption to African societies. However, by the mid-17th century the European demand for captives, particularly for the sugar plantations in the Americas, became so great that they could only be acquired through initiating raiding and warfare. There is no doubt that some societies preyed on others to obtain captives in exchange for European firearms, in the belief that if they did not acquire firearms in this way to protect themselves, they would be attacked and captured by their rivals and enemies who did possess such weapons. However, some African rulers did attempt to resist the devastation of the European demand for captives. As early as 1526, King Afonso of Kongo, who had previously enjoyed good relations with the Portuguese, complained to the king of Portugal that Portuguese slave traders were kidnapping his subjects and depopulating his kingdom. In 1630, Queen Njingha Mbandi of Ndongo (in modern Angola) attempted to drive the Portuguese out of her realm, but was finally forced to compromise with them. In 1720, King Agaja Trudo of Dahomey not only opposed the trade, but even went as far as to attack the forts that the European powers had constructed on the coast. But his need for firearms forced him to reach an agreement with the European slave traders. Other African leaders such as Donna Beatriz Kimpa Vita in Kongo and Abd al-Qadir, in what is now northern Senegal, also urged resistance against the forced export of Africans. Many others, especially those who were threatened with enslavement, as well as those held captive on the coast, rebelled against enslavement and this resistance continued during the middle passage. It is now thought that there were rebellions on at least 20 percent of all slave ships crossing the Atlantic. History of Africa and the African Diaspora at Middlesex University, London, UK As I said Afrikans, sold Afrikans to the Europeans, not realizing what they was really doing. They then fought back, but Europeans had guns. The same with the American Indians only they lived on the land and would not submit to be enslave. Different when you take people away from the land. Assyrians by the way did the same thing but not chattel slavery. That is how the Samaritan came about. They took the Kingdom of Israel only the nobles and replace and put other people they captured in the land. What you need to all ancient people during war sold people into servitude, but after seven years they could be release. Other people who owe debt would give themselves or their children for servitude. However, greed becomes in play and things are overlooked. I make no excuse for that what I will not you or anyone else to say that Europeans especially American were off the chain. MY ANCESTOR WAS MADE TO BE TREATED LIKE CATTLE! They couldn't say what was done so they made up a word and called it chattel! Trump is doing the same thing to the people of SA. Caging children is outrageous and demonic! Taking them away from their parent. So, please Bonnie do not try to justify what was done to Afrika or here in America! It will not continue until YAHSHUA come! Why because if you read about the Time of Trouble in Revelation Chapter Nine it shows the the wicked will be tortured! You should read it!

    Origin of Catholic Church

    Many years ago, I read an article in a book(do not remember the title of book any more) stating the origination of the Catholic Church. Acts 8: 9 ------- mentions that what Philip was doing. When he came to one place and performing miracles and preaching influenced by the Holy Spirit, a man called Simone who also was doing some wonderful things for the people came to Philip telling him what a wonderful things he was doing and offered him to sell the power. Philip told him off saying that the Holy Spirit is not for sale. Simone got upset and went away and established his own church. This is how the Catholic Church started. Does anyone read the same story somewhere or heard about it? Won
