    They are not dead! Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" My asking them for their prayers is no different than asking you for yours! Pax et Bonum

    Being baptized into Christ is not an assurance of salvation. Mortal sin severs ones relationship with God. Does it? I just pointed out that the catechism makes it clear that idolatry is a grave sin. Grave (mortal) sin, severs the relationship with Christ. To partake of the Eucharist in this...

    Amigo, how many times do i have to show the definition of 'pray'? That you refuse to accept our usage of that word in any way but your own definition, then by your definition, we do not pray to the saints.. We 'earnestly ask" them for their prayers... Your problem with that is just that, your...

    So if someone identifies themselves as Catholic but acts contrary to the teaching of the Church, that somehow comprimises the teaching of the Church? 2113 Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God...

    To have eternal life! You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life. ... Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his...

    The point is the bible alone is NOT sufficient. If we are not partaking of the ONE loaf, and the ONE cup Jesus gave to the apostles, where are we? Pax et Bonum!

    Hello Taken, Im curious. Just what feasts given to the Hebrews do you think we keep? For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name is great among the nations; And everywhere they bring sacrifice to my name, and a pure offering; For great is my name among the nations, says the...

    God's Dispensers: Moses And Paul

    I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the gospel that I preach to the Gentiles - but privately to those of repute - so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain. Pax et Bonum

    Pssst... That discission is specifically about Holy Week, 'Rome' celebrates the sacred mysteries every day except Holy Saturday before sundown. How often do SDA celebrate the sacred mysteries? Pax et Bonum

    Spotting Heretics

    Of course, division and factionalism has always been a problem. Those who refuse to be corrected by the Church, either leave or are excommunicated from the community. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their...
