All translations into the vernacular (English in this case) have errors in translation due to the fact that there are some words and phrases that don't translate well into other languages. The Bible was never meant to be a do-it-yourself Christianity kit. It is a tool of the Church founded by...

I would question whether Don Corner knew his faith, regardless of whether his family was "strict" or not. Clearly, he didn't know what he was leaving. Like the Pharisees of old, who were absolutely convinced that Jesus was a blasphemer, you are absolutly sure that the Church founded by Christ...

I just saw where you put a video up of an ex-Catholic. Seems like just another unedcuated lay Catholic who didn't know their faith to begin with. Why not listen to some folks who have PhD's in the Bible, etc., some of whom taught in Protestant seminaries? These folks, through their study of...

LOL. Who's being extrabibilical? NOWHERE in the Bible does it say EVERYTHING we are to know is IN the Bible. In fact, it says the opposite! John 21:25 says that NOT everything Jesus did and taught is IN the Bible. Matt. 28:20 has Jesus commanding the Apostles to teach ALL that He had taught...

Clearly, you don't know Scripture very well. Scripture shows an awareness that we can pray for the dead (2 Macc. 12:42 and, quite possibly, 2 Tim. 1:18) and an awareness that those in heaven intercede for the living (2 Macc. 15:12, 14; Matt. 18:10; Rev. 5:8, 8:3–4). With regard to Mary, we do...

The Word of God is not a book, but a Person, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church, the ONLY Church for the first 1000 years of Christianity. If you personally interpret Scripture to mean ANYTHING other than what the original authors intended, then you are in error. ONLY the...

Then, I would suggest you've studied the wrong information. As the late Bishop Fulton Sheen once said, there aren't 100 people that hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they mistakenly think it is. This is not something new, though. Jesus was misunderstood and had...

I heard a good YouTube talk that pretty much tells us why Darwinian evolution is false. And the reason it has been pushed is for political reasons, and to promote atheism. About an hour long, if you have time.

Excellent point. I see that a lot on here, too. Someone will throw some sort of Scripture quote out, with no explanation as to how it supposedly makes some point, assuming the reader shares their context. It's like little kids claiming to win a game by exlaiming, "King's X! I win!" As a...

Literacy wasn't that big a thing back then, as it is now. The vast majority of people were illiterate. Jesus taught orally and commanded His Apostles to go out and preach and teach (orally). Nowhere do we see Jesus commanded the Apostles to write anything down, and I suspect most couldn't...

Usually, today's atheists don't mean the same thing as we do when we talk about God. They believe God is just one more cause (thing) within the universe, albeit greater, more powerful, etc. They talk about God as living on a cloud or some such childish thing. Every elementary teacher knows...

God and His truths are unchanging. The last thing we should do is change the teachings of Christ because the world is changing. Add to that the many Eucharistic miracles that have occurred (probably for those having a hard time believing or understanding of the Real Presence of Christ in the...

It was the Catholic Church that gave us the New Testament and decided which of the two versions of the Old Testament to use. Wouldn't you think it should be the same Catholic Church that can tell us what the Catholic authors meant when they wrote the New Testament? Or are you claiming that...

You're demonstrating the problem with self-interpretation of Scripture, taking it out of context. Scripture doesn't mean what you want it to mean. It means what the author intended it to mean in the context he intended it. Jesus going away was Him ascending to Heaven. Not forever and in all...

God physically comes to earth each and every day at every Catholic Mass, when the priest consecrates the bread and wine which becomes the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

Hey, BB Johnson! How's it going? Explain to me, please, how 16 centuries after the Catholic Church had been spreading the Good News, teaching about Christ, never changing a doctrine handed over to her by the Apostles, that somehow Protestantism figured out a different message? You took the...

The New Testament comes FROM Oral Tradition. SOME of what Jesus taught the Apostles was written down, and in the late 4th century, the Church decided which of the 300+ similar documents/writings were worthy of being called Scripture. They ended up with the 27 books we now call the New...

First, just because the pronoun “this” is used rather than the personal pronoun it doesn’t follow that it must be referring to something other than the person who was being addressed in the preceding statement. To use an example from apologist David Palm, a prime minister might speak of a famous...

You're probably right. But I recall what St. John Paul II said regarding these matters. He said that if we tell people God's truth, His grace accompanies that truth. And when the soul is going to need that truth, it will be there for them. We're just working in God's garden of souls...
