Carpe diem vel mori dolens tempus tibi amittum esse?

"Carpe diem vel mori dolens tempus tibi amittum esse" translates to "Seize the day or die regretting the time you have lost." This phrase emphasizes the importance of making the most of the present moment, encouraging individuals to take action and embrace opportunities rather than allowing time to slip away. It serves as a reminder that life is fleeting, and hesitation can lead to missed chances and regrets. Ultimately, it advocates for living fully and intentionally.


Which religion came first Baptist or catholic?

A:No. John Smyth and Thomas Helwys set up the first known Baptist Congregation in Amsterdam in 1608, believing it was important to reconstitute and not just reform the Church. Some members of the Amsterdam group went back later to Britain and took the name 'Baptist' to identify themselves. In spite of what is known of the origins of the Baptist Church, members prefer to claim that the Baptist Church had always existed just as it does now, from the first Christian century. For example, Charles H. Spurgeon:"We believe that the Baptists are the original Christians. We did not commence our existence at the reformation, we were reformers before Luther and Calvin were born; we never came from the Church of Rome, for we were never in it, but we have an unbroken line up to the apostles themselves. We have always existed from the days of Christ, and our principles, sometimes veiled and forgotten, like a river which may travel under ground for a little season, have always had honest and holy adherents. Persecuted alike by Romanists and Protestants of almost every sect, yet there has never existed a Government holding Baptist principles which persecuted others; nor, I believe, any body of Baptists ever held it to be right to put the consciences of others under the control of man. We have ever been ready to suffer, as our martyrologies will prove, but we are not ready to accept any help from the State, to prostitute the purity of the Bride of Christ to any alliance with Government, and we will never make the Church, although the Queen, the despot over the consciences of men."
