    Is Being Catholic And Being Born-Again The Same Thing ?

    The three main Christian groups are Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants. They all believe in the same God. A Christian is one who believes in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and is God. They believe in the Holy Trinity. Most of their beliefs are similar. However, the beliefs of the...

    Wanting advice.

    Buddha was never a god and the Buddhists monks never worshipped him as a god. Buddha was once a man walking on this earth just as George Washington was once a man walking on this earth. Buddha was searching for enlightment. He taught many things to his followers, and one of those things he...

    Is Being Catholic And Being Born-Again The Same Thing ?

    I agree. God is the only one who judges who will be in Heaven and who will be in Hell. We do not have any say in it.

    Christmas.

    Christmas means "Christ's Mass." To this day, the anniversary of our Lord's birth is named after the Catholic Masses offered during it despite the fact that no one really knows for certain when He was incarnated as man. Christmas symbols these days are also apt to lose their religious...

    Peace

    Salaam and peace be with you, Mia. I also hope that peace exists among all peoples despite their religious beliefs. I also have friends who are non-Christians and I know that God loves them too. Blessed are you for promoting peace among people. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers for...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    Who do you follow.......the Sabbath Law or Jesus Christ who is Lord of the Sabbath? Col. 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon or of the sabbath.

    You decide if this means 16 gospels ??

    So, what exactly are you saying? Are you saying that there is only ONE Gospel with 16 different parts or are you saying that they are actually 16 different gospels?

    Baptism with the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with salvation

    The Holy Spirit is God. He is the third person in the Holy Trinity. God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one and the same God. To reject one of these three persons is to reject even Jesus. To be baptized by the Holy Spirit does determine your salvation (See John 3:5).

    You decide if this means 16 gospels ??

    There is only one Gospel (Good news) just like there is only one God. God has so many different names, (Almighty, Mighty One, Lord, Creator, Father, Holy One, Alpha and Omega, etc), but only one God. Christ also has many names (Good Shepherd, Firstborn of the dead, Emmanuel, Lamb of God...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    Christ gave us a much better law. He said that the two greatest commandments is to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and secondly to love your neighbor as yourself. These two fulfill all the laws and the prophets. Yes, it does. The Holy Bible says that God commanded Israel to...

    Resurrection

    The body is considered important because it is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. In other words, our bodies is the temple of God. Thus, when the body dies it is still treated with respect. Also, as you know, Jesus rose from the dead - body and spirit. The Jews and most Christians bury...

    Christians and marriage

    Hello Angelina, Jesus did not have any biological brothers. None of the James mentioned in the Bible were Jesus' biological brother. The problem with the Hebrew and Aramaic language is that they don't have a word for "cousin." So, the word "brother' was also used for cousin. The writers of...

    Actually, it was James, the Apostle because St. Peter was also with them at the transfiguration. St. Peter was always with the Apostles and usually acts as the spokesman for them. As for John 7, again the word "brethren" does not mean biological brothers. The Hebrew never had a word for...

    According to the Bible, all the Apostles believed that Christ was the Son of the living God. The only reason they abandoned Christ after He was arrested was because they were afraid of getting arrested themselves....but not because they didn't believed (See Matthew 16:18-20). After Peter...

    Are you saying that both James and Jesus were NOT Jewish? Didn't James believe in the God of Abraham like every Jew?

    HELLO?? Do you not know that a disciple is a follower of Christ. Those people are His followers.....His disciples. Jesus stretched forth His hands, pointed toward those people and said, "Behold, my mother and my brethren." Jesus had many disciples, and from His many disciples, He only chose...

    James was Jewish just like Christ; therefore, he was a believer. Ancient Jewish culture dictates that the next older son takes care of the widowed mother.

    That is incorrect. Jesus did refer to His disciples as His brethren BEFORE His death and resurrection (See Matthew 12:48-49). Matthew 12:48-49 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples...

    And you ignore the fact that the "first-born" really means the one who opens the womb. This means that the first born could also be an only child. For example, look at the following scripture: Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let...
