Do Catholics Talk to Dead People?

There are certainly many people participating in BLM protests who do not condone violence and are only trying to speak out against police brutality and inequality, but there have unquestionably been others who have resorted to violence and even murder. The danger in this - though I am not condoning it by any means - is that it may soon be returned upon them in kind. I received the following dream a week or so ago, and it strongly suggests that rural America may soon rise up in retaliation if things keep going in the direction they are headed. The imagery of a glass building is used in this dream, which plays on the old expression, "People in glass houses should not be throwing stones." It's an old idiom meaning, "Don't accuse someone of...

While the gospel of Grace is our personally salvation.

Is this correct?

Much love!

The ten commandments is straightforward. Many of Jesus' commands are too. But much of it is very convoluted, as evidenced by the debates here on interpretations.

Why did God make it this way?

He says you have as much to do with your spiritual birth as you do with your physical birth - nothing. He says you cannot cause yourself to be "born again". He says that neither Jesus nor Paul nor the disciples commanded anyone to do anything in order to be "born again".

Is MacArthur correct?

Watched this video the other night I was quite amazed. It's an in-depth look at who the two witnesses are, that is mentioned in Revelation Chapter 11.

The video is an hour and a quarter watch but it's well worth watching and I learnt some new things.

Revelation 11:3-10
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of...

Jesus is returning For those people that Believe in , look for and Expect the Rapture. those people that mock and scoff at the rapture and do not believe in, look For and expect the rapture will be left Behind!! Hebrews 9:28=Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To ""those who eagerly wait for Him"" He will appear a second time.
Those that do not look for and expect the rapture are left behind and then must then try to live under anti-christ rule.

1 Corinthians 15
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we...

Your thoughts please

I'm having a hard time understanding about baptism. I'm getting the idea that if an adult gets baptized, they must turn away from sin. But what if they slip up and sin again? Does it mean they are not saved or no longer a child of God?
