Brother Justin, All people seek the Truth including the atheists and agnostic. Agnostics and atheists are not possessed of demons because even they can do good, and all goodness comes from God. Our role as Christians is simply to spread the Gospels. As Christians, we should also respect the...

God is the only one who judges who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. We cannot condemn anyone to Hell because we can't make those judgements. Let me ask you this: The people of the Old Testament (such as Abraham) never heard of Jesus Christ. Is Abraham condemn to Hell because he never...

I agree. Love always works because God is love (1 John 4:6 and 1 John 4:8). And it has always been the Holy Spirit who converts the heart. All we do is spread the Gospel....the Good news of God's love and mercy. It is up to those who hear it to either receive it or reject it. We are not to...

I have thou shalt not kill. According to the results, it says that I believe that every life is sacred. That is true. I'm involved in an anti-abortion organization. Also, I once wrote a letter to the President of Nigeria because I did not like the fact that they were going to stone a woman...

The difference between Christianity and other religions is that only in Christianity God came down to meet man. In other religions, it is man who goes to god and the god remains far off. In Christianity, God understands humility not only through knowledge but even through experience because He...

Brother Justin, When I go out to evangelize door to door after Lent, I spread the Gospels (Good News) just as the Apostles did. The Good News is that God loved us so much that He came down in the form of man to conquer death and rescue us. He died for our sins and opened the gates of Heaven...

Where in my post did I say that the Bible is NOT the word of God?

Happy New Year!!!

None of those are contradictions. They can only make sense when one looks at the Bible in its entirety rather than one piece at a time. For example, your first one regarding love and fear......For Catholics, the fear of the Lord is one of the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. It means "a desire not...

When Christ said "Do not judge" He meant exactly that. It is not our place to judge anyone to Hell. That is God's place to do that. And in scripture where it says "Not everyone who says 'Lord Lord' will enter the Kingdom of God" Christ was referring to His own followers. Christ told us to...

I agree that God is greater than Scripture, but He did not choose scripture as a means of self-communication. Christ told the Apostles to go out to all the nations and PREACH the Gospels. He never said to write a book. God had always used the prophets to orally transmit His message to Israel...

I agree with Bosco. It was the Church that put together and canonized the New Testament books, which all Christians consider authoritative. Afterall, the Bible did not just fall down from the sky. :rolleyes:

This stuff was taking place even AFTER Christ already chose them as Apostles. Don't you remember, Peter denied Christ three times and all the Apostles abandoned Christ after He was arrested? Even after Christ ascended into Heaven, the Apostles still admitted that they are still sinners...

And why should that surprise you? Didn't you know that when Christ built His Church, it was for the sinners? His Church consisted of the sinners since the beginning. Didn't you know that even the Apostles He chose were all the worst sinners. St. Matthew was a cheating tax collector, St...

What has this have to do with the historical fact that the Bible was finally put together and canonized at the Council of Carthage?

God is not the Bible. The Word that existed in the beginning and became flesh is a person. He has a name, and His name is Jesus Christ, not Holy Bible. Scripture (graphe) and the living Word (Logos) are not the same. We worship Jesus Christ. We don't worship the Holy Bible. Even the Bible...

What evidence would that be?

It's not the person that we condemn, it is the BEHAVIOR. God loves the sinner because He came to save the sinner. It is the SIN that God hates. In the same way, homosexuality (the behavior) should not be condoned; however, I have no problem with homosexuals attending our services. In fact...

All the Apostles were baptized with water before Pentecost because they followed Jesus. And this is what Christ said to them: Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. The Apostles knew that Christ allowed Himself to be...

That is the point. It is true that Cornelius received the Holy Spirit, but God sent the Apostle Peter to have Cornelius baptize with water.
