    Opinions?

    I agree. God said to love everyone. We get earthquakes here too. The biggest one recorded on Guam is 8.1, and a majority of us are Christians.

    Is "church" a religious name?

    Hello Charlesj, The word "Church" does indeed mean "assembly." It is an assembly of people. But the word "Church" has other meanings. It is also the Body of Christ of whom Christ is the Head of (Colossians 1:24 and Ephesians 5:23). The "Church" is also the bride of Christ (Revelations...

    Why Does God Damn People To Hell If He Is All Loving?

    Anyone who goes to Hell chose to go there. Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden and they were happy. They had everything they needed and more. They were in harmony with God and they had eternal life, but through their free will, they also chose to disobey God. The fallen angels also had...

    Reconciliation

    My priest was the first one who told me that the Anglican Church has expressed a desire to unite with Rome because the Anglican Church is being split over doctrines. According to a news report that I read, many Anglicans were against the ordination of women. Rome has already accepted some...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Scripture is not saying that a different Gospel was given only to St. Paul. It is simply saying that the Gospel given to St. Paul did not come from man, but from God. That is the same thing that St. Peter was saying in 1 Peter 1:12 and 1:25. Yes, St. Peter says that the things that St. Paul...

    Reconciliation

    I have heard that the Anglican Church wish to reunite with Rome. I'm sure there would be some trials in the transition period. I know that the Anglicans are allowed to keep their vestments and colors among other things. If I am not mistaken, some of your priests are married, and that would...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Hello Dan, The Gospel that was given to St. Paul to preach is the same Gospel that was given to the rest of the Apostles to go out and also preach. The Jesus who appeared to St. Paul on his way to Damacas is the same Jesus who was with the rest of the Apostles, and His message is the same...

    Breaking News: Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hits Japan!

    Thank you for all your prayers everyone. My island is safe, considering that we are not that far away from Japan. There was a rise in the water level, and all the beaches are closed for now, but everyone here on my island is safe. Japan, however, is in bad shape and would need our prayers and...

    Breaking News: Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hits Japan!

    Hi Aspen, My village is located on top of a mountain, so I think I'm okay here. Right now, I"m sitting at my kitchen table listening to the news. They're moving everyone on higher grounds and more inland. The news said that the state of Hawaii is also on tsunmai alert. In Christ, Selene

    Breaking News: Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hits Japan!

    My island is located just southeast of Japan. We're already under tsunami alert. They're evacuating residents and tourists in the low-lying areas of my island. My island is surrounded by a barrier reef, but I'm not certain how much protection we can get from the reef especially since the...

    Imagine that, brother Aspen! A person ends up using two or more usernames in the same forum board.....and for what? One must be an extremely troubled individual to go through such lengths. Oh well.......God is love. :) By the way, I have another retreat on Sunday! We seem to be having a...

    No Hell Below Us

    Those spirits in prison were not in Hell. But there were also not in Heaven. Before Christ, Heaven was closed to all mankind.

    Wow! You mean you really do not know God at all? Do you not know that those Pharisees were sinners? Did you think that the cheating tax collectors were not sinners? God loves all sinners (See 1 Timothy 1:15). That would also include the Pharisees because they were also sinners. Do you not...

    Just because God is just and can mete out justice does NOT mean that He does not love. Do you have children of your own? If you are a father, you love your child no matter what even when your child sinned and went against you. What kind of father would you be if you only love your child when...

    Yes, I agree. Problems galore. It makes God look like a hypocrite......telling us to love our enemies, but hates His own....very bad theology. Also, there is such thing as free will. Just because God loves everyone does not mean that everyone is going to Heaven. Afterall, look at how many...

    God loves EVERYONE. A person who has a relationship with our Lord already knows this. The gift of salvation is free to EVERYONE because God loves everyone and desires everyone to be saved. It is simply up to the person to accept the gift of salvation or not. Those who do not accept the free...

    Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: Jesus taught us this, and on the cross, He practiced what He taught us. The Roman soldiers were pagans who mocked, tortured, crowned Him with thorns, and then...
