Actually, the Greek word used in Matthew 19:7 is ""porneia", not ""moicheia" (adultery). This Greek word "porneia" generally means unlawful sexual intercourse due to either blood relations (also called incest) or other unlawful sex acts such as homosexuality. You are correct that the Lord...

There are actually marriages that are not bound by God. For example, if a woman is forced to marry, that is not a marriage bound by God, and this marriage can be null and void. In a marriage, the couple must freely agree to wed without any outside influence or force. If one person lies to...

Actually, Catholic doctrine is supported by both Scripture and History.

No, it doesn't. As I said, if you read further into Jeremiah, it tells you that God is still married to Israel; therefore, that means that it was a legal separation rather than a divorce. Below is what Scripture says: Jeremiah 3:8-14 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding...

Still, God never divorced Israel. Divorce is actually against God's commandment, and God doesn't break His own commandment.

God did not divorce Israel. The language of divorce in Jeremiah is used precisely to take it back. In other words, when he writes his wayward wife a "bill of divorcement" and sends her away into exile, he goes to get her. Therefore, it was a legal separation. If you read further in Jeremiah...

No, that is not what Jesus said. At that time, Jesus was actually having the Passover supper with His Apostles. At that supper, Jesus said to "do this in memory of Him." "To do" what? He was referring to the last supper. He was not saying to remember. He was saying "TO DO" something in...

The question I asked is "Do you believe that Christ was lying when He stated "This is my body" and "This is my blood" when He presented the bread and wine? That is just a "yes" or "no" question.

Hi Aspen, I am discerning to be a nun. I'm taking a pre-vocational class to determine what God is actually calling me to. There's a lot of young girls in the pre-vocational class. You know, if God calls me to the convent, I honestly don't mind giving up those things. I know that God will...

Is this really all you can say? :) Actually, you are speaking to a daughter of God. And you still did not answer my question.

The vine is the wine. And in the last supper, Christ held out the wine and said, "This is my blood." Anyone who drinks from my blood will have eternal life. We are the branches of the vine because we drank His blood and His blood flows in our veins. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the...

"Show your respect by through the light on ignorance?" What does that mean? Show respect to the person....yes. But what is "show respect by through the light on ignorance?"

Do you always answer a question with a question? Why can't you simply answer a question? Well, to answer your question, when Jesus held the bread and said "This is my body", yes, we believe Him because we know that He doesn't lie, and we also know that with God nothing is impossible. We know...

What has this biblical scripture have to do with Christ saying "This is my body" and "This is my blood?" Are you saying that Christ was lying when He stated that? And why would you want to stop me from saying anything? Do you live in a country that does not allow freedom of expression?

Respect and tolerance for your neighbors. A person can respect another person. A person's belief is a separate thing. Afterall, God loves every person. It is the person's sinful behavior that He does not like.

They are doing it in remembrance, and we believe every word Jesus said when he stated "This is my body" and "This is my blood". Jesus did not lie when He said "This is my body" and "This is my blood." Christ instituted this sacrameent because He wanted us to be one with Him (See John 17:21)...

Wow! This is the first time I've ever heard a Christian actually call biblical scripture a "mindless collection of quotations." I thought Christians have more respect for the "word of God." Aspen is correct in quoting those biblical scripture. It shows that we are supposed to love our...

Christians and Jews both celebrate the Passover. For Jews, it is the Passover of history, tending toward the future; for Christians, it is the Passover fulfilled in the death and Resurrection of Christ. Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them...

The disciples were no different from any of them. St. Matthew was a cheating tax collector. St. Peter denied Christ three times, St. Paul was a murderer of Christians. And all the disciples of Christ abandoned Him the moment He was arrested. We are sinners exactly like them.

Actually, it was Christ who commanded that we celebrate the Mass in memory of Him. So, the Mass is celebrated almost everyday in memory of Him because this is what He commanded and what He wanted. Also, you misunderstand Catholic doctrine. The Mass does not mean that Christ was killed over...
