The Holy Spirit is God. He is the third person in the Holy Trinity. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God; therefore, we pray to God. Since when is it condescending to pray for others when the Bible clearly say that it is okay to pray for each other (James 5:16)...

What is wrong with saying that forgiveness is a high form of love? Do you not know that when Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to save us, He also forgave the sins of those who killed Him? Along with His sacrifice came forgiveness of sins. Did you not know that? Instead of mocking...

The purpose of my example is to show what "true love" really is. My purpose was not to show what fornication is because everyone already knows what fornication is. True love is what people have trouble with. If people knew what love is, there would not be a lot of divorce. The higest form of...

All I see from the quote is "Splitting the divine and human aspects of Jesus is a heresy within the early church. It is not my "nerve" that is claiming this fact - it was defined as a heresy by First Council of Ephesus in 431." Where does it even say Mary in this quote? :blink: I do not see...

Hello Marksman, According to St. Paul, those clouds of witnesses are around them. St. Paul is not saying that they are held up as examples to us. He says that they are around them. The Greek word for compassed about is "perekami", which means to be surrounded. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore...

Hello WhiteKnuckle, Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John began with the miracle of the fish and loaves. Then in John 6:30 we find Jesus at the synagogue in Capernaum. The Jews asked Jesus what sign He could perform so that they might believe in Him. As a challenge, they noted that "our ancestors...

Okay. So, this is the reason why I asked him if he could offer his own interpretation in the first place. If my interpretation of it is incorrect, I would like to hear his interpretation.

Really? Where did it say that in his quote below? According to his quote, I don't even see the name "Mary" in it. Mary is called the "mother of God" because she gave birth to Jesus who is also God. Of course, we also know that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all...

[/size]Are you saying that the text in the Bible is wrong? I was only correcting him. He said that Jesus told Paul, "Get thee behind me, Satan." It was not to Paul that Jesus said this to. [/size]

Perhaps you could offer your own interpretation then of why St. Paul says that women should be silent? And it was not Paul whom Jesus told "Get thee behind me, Satan." Paul was not one of the 12 Apostles who followed Jesus everywhere. Paul was the one who met Jesus AFTER Christ rose from the...

Hello Truthquest, Your understanding of the dead is exactly the same as mine. This is why we do not ask intercession from the dead on the earth. When we ask intercession, it is only from the LIVING IN HEAVEN. My understanding of Heaven is that there are no dead people in Heaven. When...

Hello mjrhealth, 1 Corinthians 14:34 is interpreted to mean that women are not allowed to teach in Church or in the Assembly. This biblical verse is aligned with 1 Ti. 2:12. St. Paul DO allow women to speak in Church because in 1 Corinthians 11:5, it shows that a woman can pray and prophesy...

All those who believe in Christ are alive in Christ. Their bodies are dead in the ground, but their souls are alive in Christ in Heaven. We do not speak to dead bodies on earth. We have always asked for the intercession of those living in HEAVEN. It would be a grave misconception of Heaven...

Hello Truthquest, No, we do not communicate with the dead. We do not bow or pray to the bodies of dead saints. This is what we believe in. We believe that those who die in Christ will be made alive in Christ because their faith saved them (1 Corinthians 15:22). We believe that Mary and...

Huh? :mellow: What secular example? The Bible says "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it" Are you saying that the Bible did NOT say that? That was just an example. One of the reasons why romantic movies like that are so popular...

In the real world, the divorce rate was actually a lot.....whole lot lower many many many years ago. So what changed? Why is the divorce rate much higher today that it was 50 or 100 years ago. Over time, the values in American society have changed. So, why shouldn't a man sacrifice his life...

This thread was started by Aspen, and the purpose of this thread was to have an honest dialogue with non-Catholics. If you want to speak your truth, so go start your own thread. How difficult can that be? If Aspen is able to start a thread, then why is it so difficult for you to do the same...

Do you have a problem sacrificing your life to save your wife or the woman you love?

You do not know what I do and believe. You are not me. You do not even know me; therefore, you do not know what I do and believe. Do not compare yourself with me because I am not you and you are not me. Maybe when you were a Catholic, you probably worshiped those statues. But me? I knew...

I never had any negative experiences in the Catholic Church, and I am happy being a Catholic. I probably had better priests and nuns. :D
