Hello Aspen, The homosexuals want us to recognize them by allowing us to adopt same-sex unions or same-sex marriages. We already know that they exist in our society. If recognition of their existance is all they are looking for, they don't need to pursue same sex unions or impose...

Hello Marksman, There you go again! You are judging the Catholic Church of changing Scripture to suit our theology. As I've said in my previous post, the Douay-Rhimes is the OLDEST ENGLISH Bible that the Catholic Church has, and the Douay-Rhimes was translated from the Latin Vulgate -...

Hello Religusnut, I think that whenever there is a thread on homosexuality (the act), homosexuals will take it personally and feel it is an attack on them rather than an opposition to the behavior or lifestyle. Homosexuals tend to take the stand that they were born that way and therefore...

My brother, we were discussing the Scriptures. Don't you remember what you posted? You accused me of making Scripture fit into my theology and practice. Below is what you stated: I followed Scripture as does my Church. We have never fit Scripture into our theology and practice. Our...

Hello Marksman, My brother, you seem upset. There is no reason for you to be upset in a discussion. What you say is incorrect. You do call certain people "teachers." The people who work in schools are teachers. When kids come home from school, sometimes parents ask their kids about their...

Hello Saber Truth, According to my Thesaurus, a leader is another word for authority. The one who lead, bringing the word of God would be the priests and bishops. So, how is that different from "prelate" which also means bishop or archbishop? In Christ, Selene

The fact is....Jesus said "call no man teacher," yet, that is something you don't object to. If you're going to object because Jesus said, "call no man father," you should also be objecting to the word "teacher." My brother, did you not notice in the Scripture that Jesus says, not to call...

Hello Marksman, For your information, the Greek word for "overseer" and "bishop" are exactly the same. It is "episkopos." The word "prelate" is found in the Douay-Rhimes Bible (which is the oldest English Bible in the Catholic Church). The word "prelate" means an ecclesiastic of a high...

Hello Bud, As I said under the thread of Child Salvation, there are two definitions of original sin: 1) the sin committed by Adam and Eve and 2) the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from Adam. It is the second definition that all children were born...

Hello Marksman, Many times, non-Catholics would often criticize us for calling our priests "father," which they say goes against scripture. Yet, they don't see that in that same passage, Jesus also says not to call anyone "teacher." It seems that many non-Catholics object to the Catholic...

\ Hello Religusnut, I think you misunderstood what I posted. There was sin from Adam to Moses. It was the sin of pride. However, the sin of "law-breaking" did not come about until after Moses because that was when God gave the law to Moses. From Adam to Moses, God did not give any laws, so...

Sin is inherited because death is the punishment of sin. In Christ, Selene

Hello Bud, Do you not know that when Christ died on the cross, He brought redemption to all mankind? My brother, Christ died 2000 years ago. You were not born 2000 years ago, but Christ's redemption on the cross reached you nevertheless. This gift of redemption was given to you and me for...

Hello Bud, St. Paul never said that babies were born without sin. My brother, when sin entered the world, it also entered into man because man is part of the world. Sin separated us from God and that is why we needed a savior - so that we can be reconciled back to God (Col. 1:20-22)...

My brother, the Bible says that not everything that Jesus said and did was written down (John 21:25). You follow only what you interpret in Sacred Scripture. We, on the other hand, follow Sacred Scripture and the Apostolic Traditions that was passed down by the Apostles. 2 Thessalonians...

As Christians, Christ called us to love the sinners. We are all sinners including the homosexuals. I am not a lesbian, but I know that I am no better than one. Do I condone homosexuality? No. My posts show that I am against it and even my Church stands against same-sex marriage. But that...

My brother, you seem to have a lot of hatred for Catholics. Did you not learn anything from the Bible that you say is your sole authority? The Bible did say to love your neighbor and your enemies. The Catholic Church does not take away any of my personal opinions. I don't need to interpret...

I don't accept homosexuality at all, but that does not mean that we should persecute homosexuals. We are no better than they are because we are also sinners. Murder is also a sin and should not be condoned at all. However, this does not mean that we should torture murderers. In Christ, Selene

Actually, Muslims who convert to Christianity become persecuted by their own family members to the point where they even fear for their lives. In Christ, Selene

Hello Religusnut, A Christian is called to love their neighbor and their enemies. Christ love all sinners. We are no better than the homosexuals because we are also sinners. A homosexual has contributed a lot to our society. They are artists, musicians, politicians, class presidents, etc...
