Whatever Jesus did is an example. He prayed fervantly in the Garden of Gethsamane. We pray the rosary usually during funerals with the grieving family. When a family loses a loved one, they are suffering, and the rosary is usually said during those times. Also, for your information, the...

Hi Rach, I'm reinforcing your statements. Of the Holy Trinity, only Christ has a gender. God the Father and God the Holy Spirit does not have any gender. And all three are persons. As you have shown through scripture, the Holy Spirit is a person. For those who say that the Holy Spirit is...

Just because the Word decided to put on a body does not mean that He is now two different persons. He is still the same and one person even when He puts on a body. In the same way, when I decided to put on new clothes, I"m still the same and one person.

God the Father is neither a male nor a female. He is pure spirit. The Holy Spirit (who is also God) is neither male nor female. He is also pure spirit. Jesus, on the other hand, is clearly a male because He does have a gender. He has a body that is clearly a man. Man and woman were...

They're not vain repetitions. They're actually called "fervant prayer".....the kind of prayer that Jesus prayed over and over the whole night when He was in the Garden of Gethsamane. Matthew 26:38- And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be...

What difference does that make? They're still the same person. Simon's name was changed to Peter, but he's still the same person. Saul's name was changed to Paul, but again Saul and Paul are not two different people. In the Bible, people get their names changed a lot. Even Abraham had a...

The fact that Jesus is the LOGOS at the very beginning shows that He was with God since the beginning. A difference in name or title does not change who the person really is. Jesus, the ETERNALLY begotton Son of God was there at the beginning of creation because all things were created through...

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that we are to submit and be obedient to authority (which includes our Church leaders). This is also found in the Bible (Hebrews 13:17). Because the Holy Bible DOES say that we are to submit and obey our Church leaders, we follow it. However, our...

That's where our faith comes in. The Bible says that Christ promised to be with His Church and as Head of the Church, He will guide her in all truths (John 16:13). This is what the Bible says and where we must have faith. If we can't believe what the Bible says about Christ's promise to His...

Hi Rach, I agree that the Holy Spirit gave us the Holy Bible, BUT it was THROUGH the Church that God chose to give it in that way. In other words, the Holy Bible did not fall from the sky. It came by way of the Church. The Holy Spirit inspired the Church to write the New Testament books. It...

Hello Rach, According to the Bible, it is the Church that is the pillar and foundation of Truth (1 Timothy 3:15), not the Bible. Why the Church? Because Christ is the Head of the Church, and it was the Church who wrote and gave us the Holy Bible, especially the New Testament books. So, if we...

Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God. Jesus is the second person in the Holy Trinity. So, when we say "mother of God", it is meant as the mother of God the Son.....not God the Father. Mary gave birth to a person.....the person of Jesus Christ who is true man and true God. Mary did not...

Correction on my post. Mungo never said that St. John was greater than Jesus.

All joy and happiness comes from God despite what difficulties a person is facing. The Apostles and the rest of the martyrs can attest to this. When the Apostles went to their deaths, they did not go to their death with sorrow. They went to their death singing with joy because the Holy Spirit...

In the Book of Revelations, it says that the angels and those in Heaven offer up the prayers of those on earth to God. That means both the angels and those in Heaven can pray for us just as those on earth can pray for us because everyone in Heaven are "living." (See Revelations 8:3-4 and...

Are you saying that those in God's kingdom are not living? Are those in Heaven dead? Did not Jesus said that all who believe in Him will have eternal life? So, if a person believes in Christ, that person is now a member of the Body of Christ. Are members of the Body of Christ dead? And if...

The Roman Catholic Church is the Church built by Christ through the Apostle Peter. The Eastern Orthodox Church are also Apostolic because they can also trace their lineage to an Apostle. According to the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, salvation comes only from God and only God...

Hello Mungo, They're not in conflict with Sacred Scripture. Intercession means to ask others to pray for you. The Holy Bible instructs us to always pray for each other (See James 5:16). Christians always ask their family and friends to pray for them. For Catholics and Orthodox Christians...

I am sorry to hear about your friend, Aspen. She and her family are in my prayers. I usually help the person I love simply by being there. Sometimes, there are no words to express the situation so being there for them is all that needs to show love.

That is correct. Christ only built one Church, not many different churches. His Church is Apostolic because it was built by Christ through an Apostle. Christ said that the gates of Hell cannot destroy His Church; therefore, His Church still exist. The Roman Catholic Church is the oldest...
