[/i] That is not an instruction. That was definitely a command coming from God. After God flooded the entire earth, He also gave that same command to Noah and his children...... to be fruitful and multiply (See Genesis 9:1). God's first command is important - to be fruitful and multiply...

Actually, the very first law that God told Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply (See Genesis 1:28). The second command was not to eat from the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of good and evil.

It was recorded in other historical records. The feast of the Assumption of Mary is the oldest feast celebrated since the Apostolic times. This is incorrect. The Apostles went out and built churches through Christ. Do you honestly think that these churches don't exist today. They have...

You post this after I posted what St. John stated in the Bible? Why didn't you include what St. John stated in the Bible? St. John stated that Jesus did many things that were not written down. So, how do you know that one of those things that He did was take His mother up into Heaven? Why...

In the Bible, St. John said that Jesus did many things that were not written down. He and the rest of the Apostles knew of these things and handed down to the Church, who also became aware of this fact. John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were...

The Holy Spirit does not have to be in a person in order to make a choice. The Holy Spirit is God and He did make a choice. The Apostles asked God to show them which of the two should take over Judas' place. Acts 1:24-26 Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of...

So, you are saying that the Holy Spirit is not qualified to choose? What about God? Is God qualified to choose?

Actually, the hierarchical offices is in scripture. You have the office of bishop (which you already acknowledge that the Catholic Church has). There is also the office of deacons (1 Timothy 3:10-13). And of course, there is the priest. All these positions exist in the Catholic Church as...

The Old Testament is a written record that existed before Christ was born. If one can record the Old Testament books, one can also record the names of the Bishop of Rome starting from the Apostle Peter to the present day.

Satan would not oppose anyone who rejected Christ. The Jews who followed Christ (such as the Apostles and His disciples) are the ones whom Satan would oppose, and these people is the Church. Yes, the best person who would represent the woman in Revelations with the crown of stars would be...

Yes, it was prophesized in the Old Testament that a virgin would conceive a child. Mary fulfilled God's word by saying yes. It was told in the Old Testament that there would be a voice crying in the desert. St. John the Baptist fulfilled God's word for he was that voice.

That is true. Like the Bereans, the Catholics understood when Sacred Scripture says: John 21:25 There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. There are many...

That is what I said. I stated in my post that the Protestants and Orthodox Christians are in communion with the Catholic Church. However, I was referring to Johnny's statement below: There are actually three denominations in Christianity - Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox. Some of the...

Christ is God. Again, the woman in Revelations with the crown of stars could not be Israel because Israel rejected Christ as the Messiah and the Son of God. The dragon would not persecute Israel because they rejected Christ. In fact, the dragon would be rejoicing that Israel rejected Christ.

The Roman Catholic Church is only one. It is not divided. You may have Catholics who disagree, but there is only one doctrine and one Roman Catholic Church under one Pope. Protestants, on the other hand, consist of many different denominations.

The woman in Revelations with the crown of stars is Mary. In Revelations, we already know that the child she gave birth to is Jesus, and Jesus is a person. The dragon who tried to swallow the child is Satan. Satain is a person. Therefore, it stands to reason that Mary is also a person. Some...

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that Protestants and Orthodox Christians are in communion with the Catholic Church despite the fact that that communion is imperfect. However, I was not referring to Protestants or Orthodox when I wrote my last post. I was responding to Johnny B's post...

That is true. The Bereans accepted St. Paul's words because they were open to the Holy Spirit. St. Paul also spoke the same thing to the Thessalonians, but unlike the Bereans, they did not accept Paul's words. The Thessalonians accepted only the scriptures and were not open to what the Holy...

There is only one Roman Catholic Church. Catholics are not divided into different sects because all Catholics have the Pope. And there is only one Pope in the Roman Catholic Church. Anyone who was excommunicated by the Pope, such as the SSPX, is not considered part of the Roman Catholic Church.

It is a sin because the marriage between a man and a woman resembles the marriage between Christ and His Church. The Church that Christ built is supposed to be one with Him and worship no other gods. In the beginning of the Bible is Genesis, which shows the marriage between Adam and Eve. At...
