    hmmm... in the "on the games" writings, the focus was more on the faithful servants of God and what to pay attention to and not to do. (1) Pay attention to heretics that say, none may sin from ignorance, real nor pretending. Also, (2) pay attention to the influence of the pleasure that has the capability to disassemble and last, to (3) pay attention to the Heathens that still charms and say that gratification for man by watching the games and is not a sin and God is not offended. In the prescription of the Heretics, we, the faithful always fall but thru Christ then we are saved as long as we maintain that deep-seated faith in the Son of Man and of God. This is my way of understanding Tertullian. Great lecture. Thank you.

    Jesus is Lord! Your 1914 special revelation is false doctrine. Repent and put your trust in Christ alone! No tongues or works can you add to the perfect sacrifice of the Lamb of God! It is grace by faith we are saved. Not by works. No one comes to the Father but by Me-Jesus Christ

    Islam is the only Divine Truth of GOD Almighty. All I hear from Christians is opinionated and wishful thinking of ancient pagan polytheism of making flesh and blood, dust and water our Creators. Islam is GOD's Truth.

    And they that know not say, 'Why does God not speak to us? Why does a sign (ayatun) not come to us?' So spoke those before them as these men say; their hearts are much alike. Yet We have made clear the signs (bayyanna al-ayati) unto a people who are sure. S. 2:118 Yet if thou shouldst bring to those that have been given the Book every sign (ayatun), they will not follow thy direction; thou art not a follower of their direction, neither are they followers of one another's direction. If thou followest their caprices, after the knowledge that has come to thee, then thou wilt surely be among the evildoers. S. 2:145 They also say, 'Why has no sign (ayatun) been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'Surely God is able to send down a sign (ayatan), but most of them know not.' S. 6:37 They have sworn by God the most earnest oaths if a sign (ayatun) comes to them they will believe in it. Say: 'Signs (al-ayatu) are only with God.' What will make you realize that, when it comes, they will not believe? S. 6:109 They say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'The Unseen belongs only to God. Then watch and wait; I shall be with you watching and waiting.' S. 10:20 The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Thou art ONLY a warner, and a guide to every people. S. 13:7 The foregoing text presupposes that Muhammad’s only function was to warn people, not to perform miracles. After all, the statement "Thou art ONLY a warner" would make no sense if a warner could in fact perform wonders. In other words, being a warner wouldn’t preclude Muhammad from doing any signs unless, of course, the point being made by the Quran is that such individuals who assumed this role were not empowered to do miracles. The next text further illustrates this point: Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straightened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are ONLY a warner; and Allah is custodian over all things. S. 11:12 Shakir I.e., "since you are only a warner it is not your job to perform miracles since you haven’t been given that ability. Rather, your job is to simply exhort and admonish people." The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides to Him all who are penitent.' S. 13:27 Naught prevented Us from sending the signs (bial-ayati) but that the ancients cried lies to them; and We brought Thamood the She-camel visible, but they did her wrong. And We do not send the signs, except to frighten. S. 17:59 This last passage is one of the clearest proofs that Muhammad did absolutely no miracles whatsoever. The text says that Allah refrained from providing miracles, which would make no sense at all if Muhammad did indeed perform signs and wonders. Regarding this verse, the late Sunni scholar Muhammad Asad candidly admitted: This highly elliptic sentence has a fundamental bearing on the purport of the Qur'an as a whole. In many places the Qur'an stresses the fact that the Prophet Muhammad, despite his being the last and greatest of God's apostles, WAS NOT EMPOWERED TO PERFORM MIRACLES similar to those with which the earlier prophets are said to have reinforced their verbal messages. His ONLY miracle was and is the Qur'an itself - a message perfect in its lucidity and ethical comprehensiveness, destined for all times and all stages of human development, addressed not merely to the feelings but also to the minds of men, open to everyone, whatever his race or social environment, and bound to remain unchanged forever… (Asad, Message of the Qur'an [Dar Al-Andalus Limited 3 Library Ramp, Gibraltar rpt. 1993], p. 427, fn. 71; online edition; capital and underline emphasis ours) There is more from the Quran: They say, 'We will not believe thee till thou makest a spring to gush forth from the earth for us, or till thou possessest a garden of plants and vines, and thou makest rivers to gush forth abundantly all amongst it, or till thou makest heaven to fall, as thou assertest, on us in fragments, or thou bringest God and the angels as a surety, or till thou possessest a house of gold ornament, or till thou goest up into heaven; and we will not believe thy going up till thou bringest down on us a book that we may read. Say: 'Glory be to my Lord. Am I aught BUT A MORTAL, a Messenger?' S. 17:90-93 Yet when the truth came to them from Ourselves, they said, 'Why has he not been given the like of that Moses was given?' But they, did they not disbelieve also in what Moses was given aforetime? They said, 'A pair of sorceries mutually supporting each other.' They said, 'We disbelieve both.'

    @@xervive295 no thats not true. The bible didnt remain the same. The earliest manuscript is the codex siniaticus and none of the major denominations use that version, in fact i think no denomination in existence today uses that version. It has been changed, reedited, verses and books added or removed over time and they all disagree in some things theologically, yet they all claim to be lead by the holy spirit. You obviously never read the Quran because the Quran does not tell us to go to the people of the gospels to find the truth. This has been refuted over and over again. Where did you get this crazy idea that the Quran has to line up with the Bible and the Torah?. Its God's revelation so the bible and the Torah is irrevelant. We know today that the bible is corrupt just by reading the bible itself, so why are you using the bible as a measuring stick to dismiss the Quran? Its just plain dumb to do that. The Torah was written centuries after Moses so you cant even claim the Torah we have today is original

"Ignatius used, for the first time in Christian literature, the expression “catholic church,” meaning the whole church that is one and the same wherever there is a Christian congregation."
