    Questions For A Catholic

    By the way, I forgot to mention that the commandment "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife and thy neighbor's goods" are not the same in the Protestants and Catholics. The Protestants put this as one commandment, number 10. In the Catholic version, it is separated. So, in the Catholic...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Hi Aspen, The part about "graven images" was never taken out. The Catholics have a long version and a short version of the Ten Commandments. It is in the Vatican website. We often use the short version because it is easier to memorize. The long version is very LOOOONG! Below is the...

    Questions For A Catholic

    In addition, I would also like to add these Sacred Scriptures: Luke 6:22-23 Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice; for behold, your...

    Dating A Non-Christian

    Hello Paul, I am so sorry that you and your friend are hurt. Jesus loves you and your girlfriend. He loves everyone and you can see the result of God's love for all of us. How much did God love us? He stretched out His arms on the cross...that's how much He loves us. Were we worth the...

    Anatascia, this only goes to show that you did not bother nor care to read the entire article. If you had read the entire article you would have seen this below, which is found in that article: "Even Jerry Falwell acknowledged that Catholics did not remove the commandment "You shall not make...

    Anastacia, below is a website that explains the Ten Commandments of the Protestants and the Catholics. You can compare the two and read the article. I suggest you read it before you continue making your false accusation against the Catholic Church. God bless...

    Questions For A Catholic

    My sister, in the Bible, God never assigned any number to the "Ten Commandments." There are actually more than 10 and it is not even numbered. This is how the Commandments are written in the Bible. Do you see any numbers from 1-10? Do you see anything in there that says, "This is the first...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Yes, my sister, I know about the false prophets. They're also ones who only focus on the second sentence and ignore the first sentence of the Word of God, which is found in the same paragraph.

    Questions For A Catholic

    Hello Thankful, I was also a leader of my community in my Church as I walk in the Way. That was taken from me, but I did not leave the Church. Instead, I tried to understand why God would take that leadership from me. Only time made me understand that God took that from me to teach me...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Anastacia, I have already shown you that the Early Church in the FIRST CENTURY made statues and had mosaic paintings. What makes you think that you know better than these first century Early Christians? It was the first century early Christians who wrote the New Testament. You did not write...

    Questions For A Catholic

    I agree that the Bible is important, but that does not mean that I should worship it. The Bible says to obey your Church leaders (Hebrews 13:17). And I agree that a personal relationship with Jesus is very important. He also told me to listen to His written word, and His written word says...

    Questions For A Catholic

    I agree. I never said that the Church was a building. The Church is the assembly of people who believe in our Lord, and that includes the bishops, priests, and deacons who serve Him. This is why the Bible tells us to obey our Church leaders (in this case, the Pope, bishops, and priests) (See...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Jesus is the Word of God and He is a living person. I do read the Bible, but I know Jesus through His Church because the Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth just as the Bible says. The Bible NEVER said that "Scripture" was the pillar and foundation of Truth. It specifically said that...

    Questions For A Catholic

    I agree. As I said in my post, the Bible is the written word of God, but we never worshiped the Bible. God is not the Bible and never was. As St. Paul says that scripture is there to teach, to reprove, to correct, and to instruct in justice. But in no way should the Bible be worshipped...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Actually, it shows that the Early Christians in the FIRST CENTURY understood God's first commandment. Unlike you, they did not just focus on only ONE sentence in His commandment, but on the entire message that God gave them. That's the problem.....you only go by "sola scripture" (Scripture...

    Questions For A Catholic

    There are existing documents showing that St. Peter was the first Bishop of Rome. Near the end of the second century, St. Irenaus mentioned that Matthew wrote his Gospel "while Peter and Paul were evangelizing in Rome and laying the foundation of the Church." He siad the two departed Rome...

    Questions For A Catholic

    And how is this evidence in Scripture showing that there is no God when in the first place, it was a fool that said it? [/size][/font] The point is that "all generations will call her blessed." The verse is not saying that this generation only is going to call her bless. It says "all...

    Questions For A Catholic

    This is God's commandment: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: What I emphasized...
