John Y actually I believe meant what he said about the Catholic doctrine of salvation being different then the Protestant:

You say you 'learned the Evangelical Protestant doctrine of salvation', this statement by simple reasoning means that the doctrine of salvation by 'Protestants' is different from the Catholic's. Wouldn't this be 'another Gospel':

Have you ever felt a time of regeneration in your life Steve where your love for things changed or do you believe you are in covenant since you were baptized as an infant? Maybe you can give us the testimony of a Presbyterian and your life experience.
I don't share my testimony with demons and the wicked. I have plenty of actual Christian brothers and sisters I can share and grow with

Well I was raised by my Catholic parents to read the Bible almost every day. I was also raised to watch Billy Graham Crusades on Television where I learned the Evangelical Protestant doctrine of salvation.
Dave, It is hard to believe that you and your siblings were not encouraged to read the Holy Bible. Like I stated above when I was growing up I was encouraged by my Catholic parents to read the Holy Bible almost every day. I know the outline of the Bible so well that I can go to any book in the Bible within a matter of seconds.

The gates of hell shall not prevail means the church is to be aggressive against it. How does one confront evil without confronting the lost who are lost in it? Evil isn't an abstraction, nor does it happen by itself. Whatever the thoughts on megaphones, about which Christopher expressed my own, the reason for the reaction is, evil doesn't want any noise that competes with it. btw, it's hardly whining to relay the facts about what went on. Anyone think Paul was whining when he told of his beatings, or being stoned, or being shipwrecked?

Good to see evil being confronted in the street, where it is.

2) The author of this story has linked another story of his at the bottom 'The Bible was wrong.'

Rather than even taking this theory of mathematical shamans seriously, based on a model that's not even described, we should ask

Revelation 17:9   And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

edit: ALERT! I just looked up the list of cities that claim to be built on 7 hills. I saw all the normal ones like Jerusalem, Instanbul, Athens but another popped up from the crowd

Providence, Rhode Island, built on Christian Hill, College Hill, Constitution Hill, Federal Hill, Smith Hill, Tockwotten Hill, and Weybosset Hill.

The verse you are talking about is from Mark 7 Jesus found more than the fault of unbelief in the Pharisees. Look at the verses before the verse I gave for context:
Mark 7
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP me, teaching for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.
8 For laying aside the COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, ye hold the TRADITION OF MEN, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Steve, I've always noticed that you work real hard to justify and rationalize. I know you can't deny the church being replete with fatally false doctrines, so it seems that you dig deep in order to justify, and maybe feel better about those you know who are immersed in the system. We all know that most churches, I'd say, have minor to major glitches, some doctrinal, some not, but no amount of good can be used to justify and rationalize, proudly teaching doctrines which are diametrically opposed to God's Word. No amount of good deeds adds any weight to the balance when God's Word is being foreshadowed, and even trumped, by the doctrines and traditions of man. The way I see it is that God left us His Word for good reason, and because He did, we are left without any excuse in the end. How can any one of us even claim ignorance when he's made all we need to know so clear?
