    Female Pastors

    The only thing you say is: 1. Christ being the good shepherd has nothing to do with women being pastors.........and you ignore the biblical fact that Christ is the one we should follow. 2. Christ being head of the Church has nothing at all to do with women being pastors.......and you...

    Really? REALLY?!?

    It was the prejudice conclusion of an anti-Catholic newspaper who couldn't quote the Pope's exact words in the headlines.

    Really? REALLY?!?

    You are correct. The Pope never said that one doesn't need to believe in God to have salvation. The Pope stated, "Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.” and "If someone is gay and is looking for the Lord, who am I to judge?" These were his actual...

    Really? REALLY?!?

    Sin is what separates man from God. The Pope is not a universalist because like every Catholic, he believes that the only ones who goes to Hell are the "unrepentant wicked." Every Catholic also believe that it is only God who judges who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. It is not man who...

    Female Pastors

    By my statement, a single woman cannot serve as a pastor. The head of the single woman is Christ, and Christ is already a priest. Married or single women, on the other hand, can become ministers of the word or ministers of the Eucharist. I am a minister of the word, but not a priest or pastor...

    Female Pastors

    God created men and women equal as human beings, but different. It was God who gave men and women different roles. He did not give them exactly the same roles. It is only man who wishes men and women to have exactly the same roles and to be the same rather than different. Being different...

    Female Pastors

    Christ is the Good Shepherd, and He is the Head of the Church (which is His flock). Christ is also the High Priest, and Christ was a man. He is not a female. A female cannot take the position of a priest, pastor, bishop, or Head of the household.

    Female Pastors

    A woman cannot be a Pastor or a priest. However, she can preach the gospels. All Christians are called to bring the Gospels to non-Christians so that they also can come to know Christ. After all, it was the women who brought the good news first to the Apostles. They were the ones who found...

    Apostasy:

    Does that mean being born again cannot save anyone??

    Apostasy:

    And this is why Christ said, "Those who believe (have faith) AND is baptized ( action) will be saved." Faith and works together. Faith without any works is dead. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works is dead, being alone.

    Apostasy:

    Where did you get that?? I've always said that faith and works go together hand in hand. The Holy Bible never teach "faith alone" or "good works alone." Both go together.
  12. Selene

    Apostasy:

    Of course. Water baptism is the action. If a person truly has faith, he will show his faith in his action by getting himself baptized....just as Christ was baptized. The sons and daughters of God do not sit around as a couch potato saying "I believe in God" all day long to themselves. The...

    Apostasy:

    Yes, he actually misconstrued what I stated. Nowhere in my post did I ever mention that he was saved. He just assumed it. I agree. Faith and works go together hand in hand. The Holy Bible never teaches "faith alone". It takes much more than saying "I believe in God" to receive salvation...

    Apostasy:

    Yes you did. :)
  15. Selene

    Apostasy:

    Don't misconstrue what I said. I stated that you are Christian only because of what you believe. Nowhere did I say that you are saved. God is the only one to judge who is saved and who is not. According to the Bible, not everyone who believes are saved. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that...

    Apostasy:

    Actually, I don't know you at all. However, you are a Christian because you believe in the Holy Trinity. You are a child of God and part of the Body of Christ.
  17. Selene

    Apostasy:

    Those who do not believe in the Holy Trinity are classified as non-Christians. These non-Christians include Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, and other pagans. The Roman Catholic Church does not classify these non-Christians as those belonging to Satan, but simply ignorant.....not knowing the...

    Apostasy:

    Of course, Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity. In the Nicene Creed and Apostles Creed, we say all three....Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christ is part of the Holy Trinity. A person who only believes in God the Father, but does not believe that Jesus is God is also not a Christian. The...

    Apostasy:

    Christ is not separated from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He is one with them. Anyone who does not believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as God is not a Christian. In other words, a person who only worships Jesus, but not the Father or the Holy Spirit is not a Christian. A...

    Apostasy:

    Catholics believe that Jesus Christ is God. Christ is a Savior, and so is God the Father. So, when I say that a Protestant Christian who sincerely seeks God can also have salvation......that is not an error. After all, both Catholics and mainstream Protestants believe that Jesus is God. Do...
