Hello Foreigner, St. Peter is not saying that St. Paul is wrong. St. Paul was an Apostle led by the same Holy Spirit as St. Peter. In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul is saying that we can eat anything we want, and that we are not to judge a person by what they eat. That is not a...

According to the Apostle Paul: Romans 14:2-6, 14-15 One person believes that one may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. The one who eats must not despise the one who abstains, and the one who abstains must not pass judgement on the one who eats; for God has welcomed...

Hello Aspen, Environment also plays a role in a person's personality and behavior. Scientists don't know what causes pedophilia, beastility, homosexuality, or even heterosexuality. All these are sexual attractions and we don't know what causes any of them. There are some men who are...

My brother, the Bible is holy because it is the word of God and as St. Paul says all Scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). Because it is viewed as the word of God and insired by God, it is viewed "holy" because God is holy. It is true that God or the Holy Spirit never declared the...

Hello Aspen, They are very much aware that the act of homosexuality is labeled a sin in the Bible. Hence, that is why they say it's a genetic trait. There is no scientific evidence of a "gay" gene. There is also no scientific evidence of a "pedophile" gene. Yet, we have people in our...

Hello Jiggfly, I apologize if I misunderstood your post. You posted the following in your previous post: When you wrote in your post that "we no longer need any religious ceremony or liturgy," I took it to mean that people no longer needed to meet together because it is during these...

Hello mjrhealth, Didn't Jesus built a Church? Didn't Jesus become the Head of the Church? Didn't Scripture say that the pillar and foundation of the Truth is the Church (See 1 Timothy 3:15)? The Bible says that the pillar and foundation of the Truth is the Church because its Head is Jesus...

Hi Jiggfly, Actually, St. Paul never said that people should stop meeting together. St. Paul was actually condemning the Corinthians behavior in how they come together. If you notice toward the end of 1 Corinthians Chapter 11, St. Paul says: Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to...

Hi Jiggfly, This still does not answer my question. How can we know which of the two is speaking the truth if both of them claim to have the Holy Spirit and both of them can even point to Scripture to support their views? I agree with you that the Bible should not be thrown out. However, I...

Hello Jiggfly, Isn't this textbook (the Bible) the Word of God? If we are to listen only to those who have the Holy Spirit in them and not the Bible (or textbook as you put it), how can we determine who actually has the Holy Spirit when all of them are claiming to have Him? For example...

Hello Bigape, I refer to all the Apostles as "Saints." The Apostles were instructed to go out and baptize every nation to the ends of the earth; therefore, their duty was to spread this Good News and bring mankind to God. Yes, I used the Apostles in the "present tense" because they had faith...

Hello Lander, I fnd this puzzling. You argued with the Lord all day and He agreed to all that YOU said? When I argue with the Lord, it is always me who end up agreeing with what He said rather than the other way around. The Lord is never wrong because He is the Truth. I am the one who is...

Hi Jiggfly, If the Scripture is so clear, then how can so many people come up with so many different interpretations from it? How can we be certain who is interpreting Scripture correctly? Already in this forum board, we've had people who say that Jesus is God and others who say that He is...

Yes, I know of that verse. But it was also Jesus who told Judas to go ahead and betray Him. John 13:27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly. It was Judas' choice to betray Jesus and Jesus knew of this betrayal even before He...

Hello Eccl, The Dietary laws was given only to ancient Israel. It was not given to the Gentile converts. St. Paul says that we can eat anything. Romans 14:2-3, 14-15 For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. Let not him that eateth, despise...

Hello Bigape, From what I understand....Jesus had many disciples, but He only chose 12 to be Apostles. After Judas committed suicide, Mathais was chosen to replace Judas. Then St. Paul and St. Barnabus were also called to be Apostles by Christ. God sent the Apostles to build the Churches...

Hello Bigape, I thought it was supposed to be God who would call the Pastor. Isn't God the one who is supposed to do the calling and sending His message to the people rather than the other way around? Shouldn't the doctrines come from God rather than from the people? In Christ, Selene

Judas believed in God just like Satan also believed in God. According to the letter of St. James, it says that Satan also believed in God (See James 2:19). Judas' faith was weak. Satan, on the other hand, had no faith. Faith is much more than just believing in God's existance. There are...

Hello Eccl, What I am saying is that God's greatest commandments are 1) to love God and 2) to love your neighbor as yourself. It is these two that Christ said are the two greatest commandments and it is these two that all the laws and prophets depends on (Matthew 22:36-40). Matthew 22:36-40...

Personally, I don't really care for beef or pork. My diet consist mostly of fish and chicken. I don't believe that God is going to condemn a person to Hell because they ate beef or pork, but I must admit that there is some wisdom in keeping with those dietary laws. It has been proven that...
