If that is your line of reasoning, does that also mean that there are three faiths, three bodies, and three spirits instead of one? Are we called to three hopes? St. Paul says, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling: one Lord, one faith, and one...

You are welcome, my brother. :)

Hello Neophyte, John's baptising of Jesus was NOT just a ritual washing. It was much more than that according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: CCC #536 The baptism of Jesus is on his part the acceptance and inauguration of his mission as God's suffering Servant. He allows himself...

The biblical verses is saying that if you can't control your sexual urges, then it's best to get married.

Hello JLB, St. Paul said that there is only one baptism. Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, This is still the same concept of a baptism of water and spirit. God hovered the Israelites as a pillar of cloud as they passed through the waters of the Red Sea. Christ said that one...

Yes, the unmarried remains celebate and chaste just like Christ.

No, these disciples of John were not baptized with water again when they heard the name of Jesus. God sent St. John the Baptist to baptize people for the remission of sins and to tell them of the one who will come after him. St. John the Baptist always said that there will be one after him who...

How are Christians supposed to get involved in the porn industry? As I see it, the only involvement I will take is to declare it as "bad" and "addictive.". I would teach others to stay away from porn. I agree. ALL porn is going too far. What is this "some" business? The human body is...

I disagree. Eve was made in the image of God. Genesis 1:27 And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. In this biblical vere, the word man was referring to the human race.. The verse is saying that God had in mind to create the...

It came from Heaven. John 1:33 "I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' It was God who sent St. John the Baptist to baptize.

When it is done properly, a person can be baptized with both water and Holy Spirit at the same time. Christ told His Apostles to go out and baptize every nation "in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." St. John was baptizing only for the remission of sins. He did not...

Jesus is the one who set the example. He told St. John the Baptist to baptize Him to fulfill all righteousness. Christ really did not need to be baptize because He did not have any sins, but this was the example He set for all to follow. After Pentecost, St. Peter DID say to the people...

After the Apostles received the Holy Spirit at Pentecoast, the Apostle Peter addressed this to the crowd. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost...

The Bible says to pray for one another. It did not say, pray for one another on earth. Where does it say that we are to ask only those on earth to pray for us?

We have images of Mary in our Churches for the same reason why you have images of your husband and children in your home. Mary and all the saints in Heaven are our family. We are the sons and daughters of God. Jesus is our brother and Mary is our mother. This is our family. As for Christ on...

No, Catholics don't worship Mary. We're only doing what Jesus did because He is the WAY. Jesus followed the fourth commandment perfectly. He honored His mother and Father perfectly. He honored His Father God and He also honored His mother Mary. Christ was not a disobedient son to His...

There is no difference. Prayer is communicating. In here, Jesus communicates with His Father. When we pray the "Our Father", we are ASKING God to forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us." When we pray to Mary, we are ASKING Mary to pray for us. All this is...

Praying is the same thing as talking. It is a form of communication. Christ said that the greatest commandment is to love God and the second is like it...to love your neighbor as yourself. When a Christian dies, he/she does not stop loving God nor does he/she stop loving others. The saints...

We do both. We pray to the Lord and also speak to the family member in Heaven to pray for us. God commanded us to always pray for one another. That command does not stop when we die and enter Heaven.

You didn't answer my question. If your father is in Heaven, how is he dead? Didn't Jesus say that those who enter His kingdom have eternal life? Is God the God of the dead or the God of the living? Is God's kingdom filled with death or eternal life? Also, the word "pray" is an old English...
