Hello Skyangel, The one true God hears all prayers. We are all sinners. I hope that you are not branding and judging Christopher Hitchens as a devil worshipper. The truth is that Hitchens is an atheist. An atheist does not worship the devil nor do they worship God. And yes, God hears...

Hello Richard, Are you saying that it is wrong to baptize with water? And if so, could you explain why? How was Peter's sermon taken out of context? I understood that he was speaking to all the Jews from different nations. I also understood that this promise that St. Peter spoke about was...

Hello Adstar, I agree with the Catholic priest who started this whole thing that we as Christians should pray for Christopher Hitchens because God taught us to love our enemies. Our enemies are those who are like Hitchens who judged us and persecuted us and say that we are false and that...

Hi Templar, It's good to see you here. :) It would upset people like Hitchens because they're the ones trying to disprove religion through Christian behavior. In his book, Hitchens attacked Mother Teresa by making a lot of unfounded allegations against her. In Christ, Selene

Hello Whiteknuckle, I am a Catholic. For a Catholic priest to come out and tell us to pray for someone like Christopher Hitchens shows that we are not a false religion. We follow Christ when He says to "love the enemy." To love your friends and relatives is very easy. To love the enemy...

Theoretically, we can ask for anything. Jesus said, "Ask, and you shall receive." He just didn't say what you would get or when. It is useless to pray for anything that would be immoral or evil, since God will not give divine assistance so that we can sin. Jesus shows the perfect attitude...

Hello unbeliever, God loves you very much and does not want you to commit suicide. Suicide is against God's Will. It is the murder of yourself. God does not will anyone to go to Hell. He desires all men to be saved (2 Timothy 2:4). As other posters have pointed out, God does not put...

This is a very good possibility. Judas may have been so devastated over what he had done that he fumbled with the noose and couldn't tie straight. So, he probably figured that it would be easier to just throw himself into some jagged, sharp clay pots. The fact that Jesus was the Son of God...

Actually, there is a discrepency between Acts and Matthew. Acts 1:18 says that Judas bought the land using the money paid to him for his betrayal and he committed suicide by falling. Matthew 27:5 says that Judas threw the money that was paid to him for his betrayal and then he went and hung...

There are two different versions of Judas' death in the Bible. In the Gospel of Matthew, it says that Judas hung himself (Matthew 27:5). But in the Acts of the Apostles, it says that Judas fell (Acts 1:18). It is not certain how he died, but it is certain that Judas committed suicide either...

My brother, for someone who believes in the Holy Trinity as we do, you are trying to explain something that our minds is not equipped to understand. Look back at the last few verses before Verse 27. 1 Corinthians 15:23-27 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward...

Bigape, it is not biblical. You misinterpret Sacred Scripture. Re-read what verse 27 says. It clearly says, "But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is EXCEPTED. The Greek word used for "excepted" is "Ektos." Ektos means "to be outside of." Jesus was not...

You can strive and work to obey His commandments if you want, but you will fail in your own effort because with man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

Hello bigape, Do you understand what the Holy Trinity is? In here, you are actually saying that God's Soul (Father) is more important than God's body and Spirit? We also believe in the Holy Trinity, but what you say here is certainly different from what we teach. We NEVER taught that the...

We follow His commands because we love Him. But being human, we will fail to meet His commands because we can't do it alone. We need His help. If we fail, we still have Christ to cling to, and God forgives when we ask for forgiveness. God still loves us even when we fail.

We have always believed that people are saved by God's grace and not by their works. When a person received God's grace, these people are not going to be sitting on the sofa being a couch potato, thinking to themselves, "Well, now that I have God's grace, I am saved and will be in Heaven when I...

I agree. As Christians we are EXPECTED to follow God's commands. If we receive the gift of salvation and think to ourselves, "Oh, now that I have the gift of salvation, I am now saved so I don't need to do anything. I don't need to help anyone." That's not how it works. Christ said that...

HUH??? I thought only the unrepentant wicked goes to hell. You don't think that God wants us to do anything good?

Hello ahigerway, St. Paul never replaced water baptism. You need to look at the entire context of why he said that statement. 1 Corinthians 1:11-13 For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by Chloe's people that there are rivalries among you. I mean that each of you is...

Hi Pegg, We are in agreement here. At a certain age, when children are aware of sins and commit sins, they confess their sins and then receive Confirmation (which is part of baptism). Confirmation is a deeping of the baptismal gifts, which we received from the Holy Spirit. It is where the...
