Hi Aspen, It's been a long time since I posted on this forum board. I just got back from Washington DC and New York City, but I will be flying back to the United States again in a few weeks. I'll be flying to Chicago on June 15th. I've been very busy, but school is coming to an end soon, and...

It can be discussed so long as the discussion remains civil. I would not expect Protestants and Catholics to agree but the important thing is hearing what the Catholic and Protestant person has to say rather than straying off the topic and making personal judgements....which unfortunately often...

Just came back to Guam from touring Washington DC and NYC.

This is a long list you have against the Catholic Church. I don't think that all Catholics are bad, but I'm not surprised that the Catholic Church is portrayed as something bad and is being persecuted today. However, regarding the first one on your list....the Traditional Catholics are NOT...

SealEternal, that biblical scripture is stating that the husband falsely accused his wife of not being a virgin when he married her. The false accusation was proven. The Bible further states that if the man was telling the truth, the woman would be killed because of prostitution. Prostitution...

SealedEternal, take a closer look at the Old Testament law. Deuteronomy 24:1 [/color][/color]When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and...

Just pray for them and pray for God's mercy on them because God is the only one who will judge who is saved and who is not. We cannot make those judgements. Only God will decide.

Exactly! None of those bilbical quotes she cited mentioned anything about the assumption of Mary, brushing your teeth or even George Washington. But her post clearly showed that she thinks that when Jesus spoke about the spirit....he was actually speaking symbolically. The Bible clearly points...

It was right there in your own post. You think that Jesus' use of the word "Spirit" was symbolic. In any of the scriptures that you quoted, I don't see anything in there about the "assumption of Mary." Nothing in those qutoes says anything about the assumption of Mary just as nothing in the...

This story reminded me of what happened to one of the elderly woman in my Church. She accidentally fell down the stairs and was hospitalized for breaking her ribs. During the treatment, it was discovered that she had cancer. She and her daughter went to California for treatment. We don't...

Everything that Jesus says is true. Why? Because He is the Truth, the Way, and the LIfe. He is the TRUTH. So, even His parables are true simply because they have meaning. But that is something you can't understand because you think the spirit is only symbolic, not real. :D Our oral...

I noticed you did not even have anything to say about my last post when I refuted your arguement. :) Instead you avoid it because you now see your error.. "Spirit" has never been used to mean anything symbolic......and that is where you made your error.

I understand what you mean. The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God, but there is another "Word" of God. And this "Word" has a name. His name is Jesus Christ. He was the "Word" that came down in the flesh. Christ is not a book. He is a person. He is God, and that is who we worship. We...

The context of what the Pharisees asked Jesus was speaking about adultery when a couple was already married. This has nothing to do with Christ's birth or Mary's virginity because Christ was already a man when the Pharisees asked him that question. Look at the context of the story. The...

And here lies the problem. Since when has the "spirit" ever been used to mean something "symbolic"? For Catholics, we NEVER interpret Jesus' use of the word "spirit" as something symbolic.....but something REAL Do you also believe that God's kingdom is symbolic and not real because His...

The biblical scripture you quote here is speaking of man's tradition. St. Paul speaks of another tradition, which he told us to hold fast on. It is a tradition that comes from the Holy Spirit. The two are not the same. And how do you know the traditions that St. Paul handed down orally by...

From the story of Job, we learned some things about who God is. First of all, we know that even Satan is subject under God and cannot just do whatever he wants. Even he has to obey God. When God tells him not to take Job's life, Satan did as He was told. So, we can take comfort in the fact...

Jesus disagreed with the divorce law of Moses. Jesus said, "Moses gave you a bill of divorce because of your hardness of your hearts, but since the beginning this was not so." Moses permitted divorce only because of man's hardness of heart and that was all. But Jesus emphasized that this was...

Hello Justaname, You asked many questions and I will answer them. First of all, you ask about Mary being sinless. The answer to that question is yes. Catholics believe that Mary was conceived without sin because she was the NEW Ark of Covenant that God dwelled in. As you know, in the Old...

Catholic doctrine is supported by both Scripture and History. You should care that it's supported by history because that is what is actually written in Scripture. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose...
