Peter did what he did in order to avoid conflict between the Gentile converts and the Jews. Galatians 2:11-16 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they...

I agree with you that the homosexual couple is no different than two single heterosexuals cohabiting together. They both commit the sin of fornication. If two single heterosexuals are living in sin, and both ask for forgiveness because they understood that what they are doing is a sin, their...

Birth control has also led into the legalization of same sex marriage. Birth control took away the main goal of marriage, which is procreation. So, since procreation is no longer the goal of marriage....then why shouldn't two men or two women get married to each other? This became part of the...

All salvation comes from God or Christ who is God. It was Christ and the Holy Bible (word of God) that declares that water can save because baptism came from God. And if God and the Bible says that baptism can save, then that is truth. In other words, water can save simply because it was...

There are some people outside the Catholic Church who seek to divide or lead the Catholic people away from the Catholic Church; therefore, they make false claims against the Pope. By making these false claims against the Pope, they are hoping to show Catholics that the Pope and the Catholic...

Overpopulation is only man's excuse of going against God's command to be fruitful and multiply. We have mission families with 12-16 children, and these mission families are showing the world that we can indeed trust God in providing for them regardless of how many children He gives them. God...

Even I agree with the Pope. The Pope left the judgments to God because God is the only one who knows the hearts of all men. Catholics (including the Pope) have always believed that Hell exists, and we know that not everyone will be saved. That certainly is not universalism. Exactly!! In...

He used Psalm 127:4-5 showing that families with many children are a blessing. Since the beginning, the first thing that God commanded Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply. God wants married couples to be open to life. How many children a married couple has depends on God because...

There is nothing in that article stating that atheists are saved or that a person is saved by following their conscious. According to the article posted by musterion, this is the exact statement of what the Pope said: "And I repeat it here. Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must...

The Pope never believed in universalism to begin with.

Wow!!! Do they really got it wrong. :blink: Dying is their aspiration?? For Christians, eternal life is our aspiration.

I agree. And that was the reason why Mary was called the "Mother of God." It was to reinforce the belief that Jesus is God. It was really never about Mary, but about her Son. Christ is 100% man and 100% God. To add on to Vale's post, the Bible says that we can pray for one another...

And we know that Jesus is both "Lord" and "God".....just as St. Thomas said (John 20:28) to Him.

The English word "Priest" was ultimately derived from the Greek word. The English word "Elder" did not even derived from the Greek word at all. It's origin is German. This is why when one looks at the OLDER Bibles that were published before the Reformation Period, the word "Priests" was used...

If you look at Dictionary.com, it shows that "elder" is synonymous to "priest." See the weblink below...

I agree. The Holy Bible says that God made everything good. As for man, He made man in His image and likeness. If man was created flawed, then what does that say about God Himself who gave man His image and likeness?

Elder is another name for "priest." Let's take a close look at the Greek word "elder." According to Strong's biblical translation, the Greek word for "elder" is "presbyteros." See the weblink below for the evidence taken from Titus 1:5...

Being autistic is no excuse to put anyone or any Christian denomination down. To say this below is already a "put-down" because there is nothing in this statement explaining HOW my conclusion was in error. And if you had read the entire thread, you would have known that I had already...

This is incorrect. The Roman authorities were pagans, and they did have female priests. They were priestresses. Christianity and Judaism were the only ones who did not have any female priests. All the rabbis in Judaism during those times were men. All the priests in Christianity during...

I already said it, but you didn't read my post. I already stated that in order to reject Christ, one must first hear of Christ. There are some atheists like Christopher Hitchens who have heard of Christ and rejected him. And there are some atheists who were brought up in an atheist...
