I'm genuinely suprised that the woman did not know that she would be denied the sacrament. If she was a lapsed Cath9lic which it stands to reason she must be then she should have just gone for a blessing isntead. I ahve visited Roman Catholic Masses as well as an Orthodox Divine Liturgy and I...

Can't he just warn us in a few words instead of a thousand. Long posts like that are so tedious. Sumn it upp Mr born again. What do we have to do?

So where do we go then?

That's good. But will we be male and female or androginouse or even coooprial for that matter?

I ocne dreampt that I went to Heaven and had to set the table, serve the guests in a great banquetting hall and wash the dishes. I've always thought that we just stand around in white robes sing Holy Holy Holy Lord God of power and might Heaven and Earth are full of your Glory Hosanna in the...

Thanks It's a remidner for me that even when you feel far from God he doesn't give up on us, even if it feels like he has. I dosometimes wonder if he does this to test us or maybe it's just a part of living in a fallen world.

Some people are called to live in cloisters and some people are called to live in the world. We don't all have the same calling.

Anthony was one of the desert fathers, a hermit who lived out in the Egyptian desert in a cave, which is now a Coptic shrine. He is one of the foudners of monasticism. You see the point of monasticism was to live as hermits but most people couldn't hack it as hermits because it was so tough...

Your not alone Elysian trustme. I've been there too. Last year I had spiritual breakdown after spiritual breakdown, you only have to look through my posts about Hell and spiritual warfare and I'll probably have a tone more of them but I'll not give up on God, never. You see I think these...

Possibly!

Yes but what if someone commits a sin and then dies isntantly? What if a man committing adultary for example has a heart attack while having sex? Let's say the man is a Chrsitian but he gives in to temptation once and then he dies. How is he suppsoed to go to Heaven with a sin like that on...

It's in Exodus in the story of the Passover.

The personal theory part was my own speculation on what happened to those who died before the coming of Christ and that it is now replaced with Purgatory. A soul or spirit cannot enter heaven instantly after death because it is riddled with sin, even if it is redeamed it is still riddled with...

yes it is a sin no matter how bad things are or how ever much pain you are in. However that doesn't mean that it cannot be forgiven. Now most people say that it can't be forgiven because it can't be confessed but remember that God looks into our hearts and he knows why we do things and what...

Oh yes Perelandra is a very good look at what life would have been like without the fall of man. The cosmic trilogy: Out fo the silent planet Perelandra That hideous strength I reccommend you read them all but be patient with the last one because it only getsd good towards the end. Ohand if...

Yeah, a soul dies and goes to prugatory so that on the day of judgement they an be sent to Heaven but they ahve to be a believer, otherwise they just sleep til judgement day and get sent to hell which is the lake of fire and as you say is not open for business until then. My personal theory is...

Hnag on aminute: They go somewhere where they wait for judement. That's Purgatory. The Saints go straight to heaven and the believers who died with sins on their soul go to Purgatory so that they an eventually enter Heaven. The UNSAVED however just go straight to Hell.

Islam is a blight on mankind.

Excuse me people but when a person asks genuine questions because he is trying to grow in the faith we should not be telling him he is silly not to be finding these answers himself in the Bible. Asking questions are discussing the topic in a civilised manner is how we learn so I don't care if...

God the father is certainly very sterna nd tough but no! he doesn't hate us. He loves the sinner and hates the sin. Remember this God the Father and God the Son along with God the Holy SPirit are all one God therefore they can't think differently and a God that hates us or is indifferent would...
