I do not venerate death. I know myself better than you or anyone. So, when I say that I do not venerate death....that means, I do not venerate death. Yes, our new life begins with God in His kingdom because in the end, the earth will pass away. The earth is not my home. Heaven is my home...

Hello Martin, The Bible also said that the husband must love his wife as Christ loved the Church and delivered Himself up for it (Ephesians 5:25). Christ loved the Church that He gave up His life for her. In the same way, husbands are called to do the same. :) That is why in so many...

We do not venerate death. Jesus also died, and He did not commit any sins. Jesus died to save us. Christ conquered death, and that is why I have no fear of death. Why should I fear death or even be horrified of it? Those bodies were created by God, not by Satan. There are even people who...

Hello dajoshe, God knows everything including the hearts of all men, which also includes the non-believers (Acts 1:24). He does not like evil, but He allows evil only because He respects and values the freedom of all His creatures. He does not force anyone to follow Him or to do His will...

And I was the one who told you twice that I prayed for your recovery and that I love you, my brother.

Everything you said here is very true. There are some people who do not wish to have an honest dialogue and only wish to attack others. Attacking people has nothing to do with truth or love. Christianity is about love. It is useless to know everything in Scripture if one does not practice...

I was looking up prayers to the Holy Spirit on the Internet, and there are actually a lot of them! Imagine that! We even have a novena to the Holy Spirit that I found on CatholicOnline. Imagine that! :blink: I think I should start praying one of those prayers.

I understand what you are saying here. A lot of times, I usually end up using God the Father or Jesus, the Son of God. Even in my prayers, it is always God the Father or Jesus whom I pray to. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever prayed to the Holy Spirit, who is also a person. :blink:

That is an interesting design. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is God. They are one and the same. But they is also a distinction between all three. They are different, but not separate. This reminds me of the Body of Christ. The members of the body of Christ are one, not separate. But all...

There is a difference between bowing and worship. WhiteKnuckle did an excellent job in explaining that difference. The Bible is not there to change my culture. It is not pride. It is our love for our faith. And we are not all of the same religion. Templar is Angelican. I'm Catholic...

Hi Aspen, I was reading some of your posts to TexUs and you did an excellent job in explaining that from the Catholic viewpoint. One of the reasons I prefer the Douay-Rhimes is because that is the only Bible that uses the phrase "full of grace" in referring to Mary. And the Douay-Rhimes was...

Hi Templar, After Vatican II, we do not use the Athenasian Creed in our liturgies. I think it would be nice to say it on Trinity Sunday. But the Creed still exists in our Church. In Christ, Selene

She has pictures of feet, and at the bottom of the picture, she makes the claim that Catholics kiss the feet of dead saints. Of course, you don't see her publish any pictures of any Catholic kissing the feet of those dead saints nor any pictures of them bowing to dead saints. Her words at the...

Hi Templar, We recognize all Orthodox Churches as Apostolic. I have not been to an Orthodox liturgy, but my priest described it at one time. Their liturgies and colored vestments are different from ours, but the Catholic Church accpets them. Yes, I've heard of the Maronite Catholics and the...

Hi Templar, The Eastern Catholic Churches that are in communion with Rome usually leave out the word "Roman" and just use "Catholic." They follow the same litugies as the Orthodox Churches rather than the Roman-rite liturgies, so many of them just call themselves "Catholic." The Orthodox...

Hello WhiteKnuckle, Thank you for your input. I agree with you. :) Coming from the Asian-Pacific region, I know that bowing and worship are two different things. Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese children are taught to bow to their elders, but they are not worshipping their elders. In...

I agree. We have been attacked, but I have to admit....that post that Anastacia posted about Pius X really cracked me up. Sorry, but I just can't help laughing! I've seen rude comments and comments that don't make any sense, but this one really cracked me up! LOL!

Hey Aspen, Did you catch what Anastacia posted? :lol: She posted this: This post is so funny!!! LOL!!! She adtually posted that "Piux X chose not to be in good standing with the Holy See/Vatican"...and he WAS the Holy See! LOL!!!! :lol:

Hello Mike, Pope Pius X is mainly known for standing against modernism. Modernism means an exaggerated love for modern ideas and Pope Pius X opposed it vigorously because it meant to go against the authority of the Pope. Modernism declares that the authority of the Pope and its constitution...

Pius X was the Pope. How can he not be in good standing with the Holy See when he was the Holy See?
