Marksman, you should become a politician, you are so extremely slippery at answering difficult questions - you have an aversion to answering them. You do the - I Know the Truth - thing that anastacia has mastered. Admit it, you cant answer the question can you? I am not aware of RCC...

Aspen, they must believe the True church is the Gnostics....!!!!! :rolleyes: Or perhaps they are very muddled in their thinking....big nasty RCC is to blame for everything!!

Ok, Marksman, you clearly like a good argument, and are as sure of yourself (knowing the Truth) as Anastacia, Whilst you await your questions answered, please answer me this one: Where would your belief system be now if Catholic Christianity hadnt fought for centuries to preserve Christianity...

Answering my enquiry with another question here? Do you dispute that the Catholic church kept Christianity alive up to the advent of Protestantism? How do you know what the Truth is? How sanctimonious - you just have your opinion, thats a different thing. I bet you were also sure you knew the...

I don't even think he has any idea who actually compiled the books of that Bible that he worship. Now that might be an interesting discussion...exactly how we got to the multitude of denominations of Christianity without the help of the Catholic church sustaining it, through the rise of...

Templar, they should really start their own thread posting these images, where they could enjoy them and use them to back up their distorted prejudiced ideas - ideas that they certainly havent come to this thread to discuss!! Posting those images with knowitall commentary is neither insiteful...

Wow, you guys are really not interested in taking Anything in the correct context, are you??? Here is the specific quote from the newspaper: “We cannot remain silent about the context of these times in which these events have come to light,” he said, citing the growth of child pornography...

Marksman, well done - you are great at spotting typos. Pity you dont debate or listen to others as well as you proofread.

WhiteKnuckle - well put, your balance and consideration is appreciated here. You would be welcome to critique every aspect in the measured way that you express yourself here. This is the point that many others are missing - its not that we mind disagreements, but there are ways to put things...

You think there have been a lot of RCC holier than thou comments? Compared to scathing comments attacking it? I would seriously question your judgement on that - the Catholic responses, have, on the whole tried to not get into bitching and attacks, the same cannot be said of the hijack...

It has also been painful to watch the infighting and spurious cutting remarks made against peoples beliefs - where do some of you get off being so rude and self important in your views? Its astonishing to see. Whether you feel you have been told personally, directly that you are Right and we...

Guys, thanks for your input - my second one is: Went to a Christian convention with my agnostic brother who was highly dubious - he started to struggle with it, when there were many mentions of the need for forgiveness and admitting sins (a common response, there?) He got angry and I said to...

Paul follow the advice your heart gives you, it sounds like you have a good relationship with Christ, he will speak to you over time and only you will know or be able to decide. We here cannot say whether it will develop into a deep love and if she will change over time - atheists convert to...

Hi all, with Christmas coming up, I thought it might be a good way for us to affirm our beliefs and recall the times when we felt or witnessed divine intervention. I have two. My first one is that I wanted to know more about Protestantism, and had meant to get a book on Martin Luther for some...

synonym doesnt mean the same, it means similar in semantic meaning. So venerate and bow do Not mean the same as worship. When i bow to the statue of Christ each week, I am bowing in meaning to Him - not to the material object, you silly person! Please get this through your head. The material...

I ve never tried to communicate with the dead, and I dont recall ever hearing that such a thing is appropriate for a catholic. Thanks for your question.

I think that is why it is our natural inclination to pray to God or to Jesus, because as Aspen commented, the Spirit is the action/force, and is therefore harder for us to grasp or visualise when we pray or consider the Trinity - yet, the Holy Spirit is the force of feeling we get when our...

God in three persons According to the Trinity doctrine, God exists as three persons, or hypostases, but is one being, that is, has but a single divine nature.[82] Chalcedonians—Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Protestants—hold that, in addition, the second person of the Trinity—God...

Of the 3 aspects, its the Holy Spirit that often confounds or amazes me, I think its the hardest element for us to get our minds around - with God you can visualise/feel or personify, Jesus we relate to personally as God in human form, but the Holy Spirit....trickier!
