My friend, Jesus never had a problem with the priest because in the first place it was God who set up the priesthood in the Old Testament and even in the New Testament. It was always the SINS of men that God had a problem with. ;) [/size] You easily judge a priest and seem to know the...

Historical records show that St. Peter was the first bishop of Rome. St. Linus was the first successor of the Apostle Peter. St. Cyprian In the middle of the third century St. Cyprian expressly terms the Roman See the Chair of St. Peter, saying that Cornelius has succeeded to "the place of...

There is a difference between an Apostle and a disciple. The Apostles were priests and bishops. Christ deliberately chose 12 Apostles from His many disciples and set them apart because He called only these to become bishops. Christ only had His Apostles with Him during the Last Supper. When...

Where in my post did I say such a thing? I never even mention Egyptian mythology in any of my posts.

Hello Truth, The Early Christians from the first and second centuries believed that Jesus is God because the Apostles of Christ taught them that Jesus is God. It wasn't until the fourth century when men started to question Christ's divinity. The God we believe in not only knows about...

Yes, this scripture is saying that Jesus is God because He is in the form of God and equal to God. What man on earth is equal to God? The Bible says that the Jews tried to kill Jesus because Jesus made Himself not only the Son of God, but even equal to God (See John 5:18). Jesus is 100%...

It was Christ who instituted the sacrament of Reconciliation when He commanded His Apostles to go out and whatever sins they forgive are forgiven and whatever sins they retained they are retained. Therefore, the sacrament of Reconciliation came from God, not from men. John 20:21-23 He...

I voted for the last one. My confession would be to God, to the person/s I offend, and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Jesus is truely present in the sacrament and one will be reconciled with God and His Church. :)

This reading that you point to shows that baptism has replaced circumcision. In the Old Testament, circumcision was a sign showing that those who were circumcised is a member of God's chosen people (See Genesis 17:10-14). In that passage, St. Paul refers to baptism as "the circumcision of...

When I was in school, my teacher had us write down our multiplication table from 1 to 12 over and over and over and over.

Now, where in my post did I ever say that a woman is not allowed to teach? Do you understand what I saying? I said that a woman is allowed to preach, but she is not allowed to become a PRIEST. Do you understand the difference between the words "preach" and "priest"? Are you saying that...

I am a single female, and I subject myself only to God. I also minister to the word of God. I am actually a Minister of the Word, but I am not a priest. My position as Minister of the Word is not an ordained one, but it is recognized by the Church. You, as a male, are wrong to subject...

What does this have to do with a woman becoming "head of the house?" What you quote here in Scripture has to do with salvation. It means that it does not matter if you're a male, female, slave, Greek, or Jew if you have salvation in Christ Jesus. We are all sons and daughters of God through...

I DID say that a woman can preach, evangelize, and even prophesize. But she is not chosen as a priest. Deborah was a prophetess, not a priestress. The Bible DID say that a woman can prophesize, but where did it say that she can take the status of a priest? Also, Deborah was NOT anointed...

My brother, I am a Catholic. The Catholic Church has done many things that you are not aware of. And when I say "Church" I am speaking of the Catholic faithful. We have established schools,hospitals and hospices for the elderly and the sick, orphanages, counseling centers, and many more. We...

Hi Aspen, Phebe was actually a minister or a servant. The Latin Vulgate used the Latin word "ministerio" for Romans 16:1 rather than the Latin word "diacones." In the Greek language, the Greek words for "minister," "servant," and "deacon" are exactly the same. It is diakonos. In the...

Sorry Aspen, Phebe was not an ordained deacon. The Greek words for "minister" and "servant" is the same as the Greek word for "deacon." Strong's bilbical translation used the word "office of deacon" three times in the New Testament, and Romans 16:1 is not one of them. In the Roman Catholic...

And as I said, we are all called to preach and evangelize regardless of whether one is a male or a female. But show me where in the Bible did it say that Christ appointed women to become an Apostle? Show me where in the Bible do you even see a female priest? We have followed God's will...

My brother, since when is man's unbeliefs and religion so powerful enough to tie God's hands? Being ordained means nothing to God? Tell that to God for appointing MEN to be His Apostles. Ordain means to appoint. :) In Christ, Selene

Actually, we did define Him. He is three persons in One God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one and the same and yet different.
