More Catholic bashing under the disguise of a "Christian" thread. There may be 1.2 billion Catholics, but compared to the rest of the world, it's less than 20%. Hmmm.... Seems to me that if Catholics ONLY represent 20% of the world, they're not the "many" who are going through the broad...

:vgood: The thing is, when Jesus gave his "Bread of Life" discourse in John 6:22-71, many couldn't wrap their head around what Jesus was saying. John 6:66 says, "As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him." They didn't...

Ah, o.k. So, as a "believer", you think it's o.k. to murder? Steal? Commit adultery? And lie? It's o.k. to be selfish, unkind, fornicate, gossip and the like? I really don't believe that you get it about law.

So, you think it's o.k. to murder? Steal? Commit Adultery? Lie, because according to *you*, there's no 'law' against any of those things?

Apparently, we're cannibals, too! The verse has to do with wisdom, which y'all seem to lack...

What does it mean to "believe" and "have faith" in Jesus? Doesn't it mean to not only HEAR his words, but to APPLY them to our own lives? Shouldn't we be a doer of the Word, and not only a HEARER of the Word? If Jesus instructs us to 'do unto others', shouldn't we practice that? Lying? No...

Frankly, I don't care about cathedrals, priests, holy water, candles, popes, crucifixes (incense is debatable because of what's written in Revelation), chanting or mass. There also won't be adultery, murder, lovers of self, money, pride, arrogance, heartlessness, ingratitude, unforgiveness...

LOL! And just what IS God's "official canon"? The canon that Christians were reading/using/spoken of in churches for the first 1400+ years of Christianity? Or the canon that Martin Luther decided because it didn't fit HIS idea of Sola Scriptura and "faith alone'? It's not about whether Jesus...

MANY? No...SOME, yes. Then again, Martin Luther also didn't believe that ANY of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) should be in the Bible, because the true authors are unknown. Martin Luther wanted other books to be dismissed from the Bible, including Hebrews...and Romans. He...

Ummm, no. Sorry, but *WE* have a stake in this, too. The FIRST way that we become "in Christ" is to REPENT. Were you a liar? REPENT. Were you an adulterer? REPENT. Were you unkind? REPENT! Were you greedy? Selfish? A lover of self? Lover of money before God? Re-PENT! How about...

Depends on how people see "religion." For me, religion is about fellowship. Matthew 18:20: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." I don't take the "two or three" to be literal. After all, Jesus preached to his 12 Apostles quite often...

Why can't I have both? Wait a minute... ...I DO have both! Why do you believe that religion is so bad?

L.O.L. My "Catholic" God? How about your NON-Catholic God? Does your non-Catholic god tell you to be insulting to others who don't believe as YOU do? Does 'it' tell you to judge others as going to hell because they don't believe...or practice...as YOU do? Because my Catholic God tells me...

Oh geez...SERIOUSLY This is what happens when one takes the word of the Bible literally. According to you, NO ONE should even refer to their own biological/earthly male parent as "father." And, I suppose that no student can refer to his/her high school History instructor as "teacher"...

So, you believe that having A glass of wine...while eating... over the course of an hour...automatically means "getting drunk"? Even in Timothy it says, "Stop drinking only water, and have a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses." (1Tim 5:23)

If Jesus had any issue with drinking wine at all, and/or saw drinking wine at all as "sinful", he wouldn't have changed the water into wine for the wedding at Cana.

And...? Oh, o.k. Where is THAT in the Bible? *flipping through bible*.. Nope. Ain't seein' it. You need to STOP using 'one-liners' to present your *ahem* "case". The point of Galatians wasn't about NOT drinking wine; it's about drinking wine to excess. BIG difference between having a...

I didn't claim computers are "evil." It was *you* who was spewing off about that God's Word says this, and God's Word DOESN'T say that. You said that "God's Word doesn't teach Catholicism." Well, my POINT is, that God's Word doesn't 'teach' a LOT of things... So, if God's Word doesn't...

God's Word doesn't talk about computers...or indoor bathrooms...or having an Olympic event called, "Curling"... Maybe *you* should step away from your non-biblical computer and REPENT and follow God's Word instead...

God's Word doesn't teach that the wine was actually grape juice, either. And yet, people were drawing water and drinking it... If "nobody was getting drunk..." then why are there so many *warnings* in the bible about getting drunk? Eve 1 Timothy 5:23 says, "Do not go on drinking only water...
