No, it's not a contradiction. Jesus is the Way. When Christ was baptized by John at the Jordan River, He received the Holy Spirit. Christ showed that a person can receive the Holy Spirit when baptized with water.....through the laying of the hands (See Acts 8:18). If a person is baptized...

The word "all" doesn't mean every single nation on earth. It is referring only to the pagan nations known at that time. For example, look at this biblical verse: Mark 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river...

My brother, there are many prophecies in the Holy Bible, and some of them have already come true. To John, the Fall of the Roman Empire was the future..........but for us, it has already happened. In the same way, Christ also predicted that the temple of Jerusalem will be destroyed. Christ...

The beauty about the Roman Catholic Church is that regardless of whether he/she is a Charismatic Catholic, a Neocatechumenal Way Catholic, an Opus Dei Catholic, a Focular Catholic, a Benedictine Order Catholic, a Dominican Order Catholic, or a Franciscan Order Catholic, is that we all follow the...

Suhar, you only want to make it look like the "United States" is the harlot of Babylon. But the United States didn't even exist at that time. Babylon was known as "Rome" during John's time, and that is the truth. You are ignoring the truth.

I often find it amusing that non-Catholics like yourself always claim to know more about Catholicism than Roman Catholics. I'm the Roman Catholic. You're not. As for Britain's most senior Roman Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien this is what he further stated in the weblink below. According to...

I didn't ignore it. The word "Babylon" during John's time meant "Rome." And the kings whom Rome fornicated with were the pagan nations. Even history can testify to this. When pagan Rome conquered Greece, for example, they adopted the Greek gods into their culture. The only difference is the...

Yes, He did. In this case, He meant what He said "literally, " which is the reason why many of His disciples left. They left because they understood that what He was saying was literal, and they left. The only ones who stayed were the Apostles.

His body. :)

I've also been doing discussion boards, and I've learned never to take any attacks personally.

Among the Christians of John's time, Babylon was the code name for "Rome." Fornication with the kings refers to the pagan nations. Rome was a pagan nation who forced others to worship pagan gods. They drank from the blood of the martyrs......Rome killed many Christians in her arenas, and it...

In Genesis 1, God said, "Let there be light," "Let there be this......" "Let there be that......" However, the language changed when it came to the creation of man. The language was changed to "Let US make man in our image and likeness" It was not "Let there be man....male and female." Among...

I pick the very first one......Trinity. <_< We believe that there is three persons in one God and that Jesus is the Second Person in the Holy Trinity. Before I even begin, I would like to ask you this question. Do you believe that Jesus is God?

The Harlot of Babylon is Nero or the Roman Empire. John predicted the fall of the Roman Empire and it did fall.

Isn't that what Satan told Eve? "You will not certainly die" said the serpent to the woman, "For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:4-5). Should we believe Satan that man's destiny is to become like God? There...

Not all Catholics end with "It's a great mystery". Also, our doctrines are not easily refuted. :) If you want to know the answers to your questions, it's always best to go to a Catholic apologist.

Are you referring to the Inquisition....something that happened hundreds of years ago?? Is the Inquisition still happening today that you feel that you have to make this statement below? If you look at MY post #63, (which is before YOUR Post #64) this is what I posted to you. From...

I've never heard a homily on the saints, relics or secrets. All the homilies I heard are all about Jesus. Yes, there are a few who attack Catholics and view them as non-Christians, but the attacks are not unexpected because they usually attack what they don't understand.

I DID say that we must be born of water and spirit. To be born of water and spirit is to be baptized. There are some who believe that baptism is "symbolic." It is not symbolic because the spirit is REAL. There is nothing symbolic about the "spirit." And the word "spirit" is never used to...

St. James says that faith and works go together hand in hand. They are not separate. They go together hand in hand. Good works is what completes our faith and faith would be dead without good works. James 2:22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith...
