My brother, I said that it is God's will that He gave us that relic. This does not mean that we don't have faith nor love Him. We will keep what belongs to God rather than what belongs to the world. So, yes, my brother, I will take His old clothing because I would rather take what belongs to...

Faith is a gift from God. You don't get faith by your own power. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. The fact that God chose to give us the relic was His Will, not ours. Besides, the Early Church held on to the...

Where in my post did I say that the Catechisms are placed above the Bible? The Catechisms are not above the Bible.

The Shroud had always been there. It had always been with the Early Church and has been passed down from the Early Church. We have always known about it. It's not our fault that you forgot about it. What has Hebrews 11:6 have to do with the Shroud? The Early Church had the shroud all...

Hello Paul, The fact that we have the Shroud of Turin only makes our faith even stronger against any atheists who try to destroy our faith. This is why the atheists work so hard to prove that the Shroud is a fake. :) In Christ, Selene

Doppleganger is correct. Atheists have tried to prove that the Shroud of Turin is a fake, but they always come up short. The Shroud is not a painting. It is a photographic image, and cameras did not exist in the Middle Ages. In Christ, Selene

Hello Watchman, The Pope does not need to issue an edict to change any RCC teaching because it is already in the Catechism. All the doctrines of the Catholic Church are in the Catechisms and Canon Law. The Latin phrase "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" (Outside the Church, there is no salvation)...

Hello Watchman, Again, it's obvious that you did not read what I posted to Mike; therefore, I will post what I stated below: Hello Mike, There are a few people who call themselves Catholics who preach that a person can only be saved if they are a member of the Roman Catholic Church...

What has this have to do with my reply? If I have a question about a verse in the Latin Vulgate, I would think going to someone who can understand Latin would be the logical thing to do. Do you think it's logical to go to someone who doesn't know Latin to interpret a verse for me? :unsure:

Hello Mike, You may want to investigate the Shroud of Turin. It is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Below is a website you can start with. There are other websites on the shroud of Turin and you can look up those on your own. http://www.shroudstory.com/ In Christ, Selene

The doctrine of Christ is in the Church. And what nonsense would that be, my brother? I asked if the Head and Founder of your Church is Christ, and you don't even answer. For us Catholics, we can say with confidence that Christ is the Founder and Head of our Church and therefore, salvation is...

Hello Mike, There are a few people who call themselves Catholics who preach that a person can only be saved if they are a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Father Leonard Feeny, a priest in Massachusetts, who preached this teaching was excommunicated by the Pope in 1949 because this goes...

I'm still confused. You say that the tree of knowledge of good and evil is Satan and the tree of life is Christ. But Adam and Eve can also eat from the tree life. If the tree of life is a man just like the tree of knowledge of good and evil is a man, why would God allow Adam and Eve to have...

My brother, I never said that you are a liar. I said that you are incorrect when you said that we have elevated our Church to a deity. No Catholic believe nor call the Catholic Church a "God." Even the quotes you provided is not saying that the Catholic Church is a "God." I explained the...

Okay.....so let's see if I understand this right. You are saying that those trees are really not trees but men. So, what you are saying is that God is instructing Adam and Eve that they can have sex with all the men in the garden except the one man that is standing in the middle of the garden...

Hello Watchman You are INCORRECT when you say that we have elevated our Church to the level of a deity. Catholics do not believe that the Church is a deity. We believe in God the Father, and we know that Christ built His Church and we have always claimed to be that Church. It is true that...

Hello Fivesense, Yes, those manuscripts is what my priest called "Codex." I wasn't aware of it at the time. St. Jerome lived in the 3rd century and even built a monstuary in Jerusalem. He was the one who translated the Greek and Hebrew Bible into the Latin Vulgate. My priest said that the...

Hello Paul, Sacred Scripture plainly says that Adam had sexual intercourse with Eve and brought forth a son and called him Cain. Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God. The word "knew" in this particular verse...

In America, all people already have the right to marry including homosexuals. The thing is.... marriage comes with restrictions. One cannot marry a person of the same sex, a person who is under-age (you can't marry a child), or a person of close relation (you can't marry your own brother or...

Hello Mcorba, Christianity did not exist until after Christ died and rose from the dead. Christianity did not exist before that; yet, those who died before Christianity existed will be judged justly by God. In Christ, Selene
