    Should believers fear Hell?

    It's in Tobit and Revelations. Tobit is in the septuagent and I consider it Bblical. If a fifth of the world believes in it then it is good enough for me. No Catholic bashing here please.

    Should believers fear Hell?

    It goes back a long way, I think to whenI first started school. Other kids used to talk about Hell and the Devil and it scared me a lot. It has left a lasting impression even thoug I understand what Jesus as done for us and believe him to be my PERSONAL saviour. I think it is a phovia...

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Aspen, Anglicans can take communion in Catholic churches when there is no nearby Anglcian/Episcopalian church. The same goes for confession and extremunction. So I could take communion in Lourdes or Santiago de Compostella for example but I could take communion in my local Catholic church...

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Would I do a 1st Confession and a 1st communion before confirmation or would I be confirmed and then given 1st communion? As an Anglican you had to be confirmed before you could recieve communion so my first communion was made on the day of my confirmation?

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Thanks for the adivice but Evangelical Christianity is just not for me, I'm disolusioned with my parish because the current priest does not respect Sacramental traditions like the proper vestments, incense, using the lavabo before communion. This is because we have to share a priest with...

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_zmXa_830M&NR=1&feature=fvwp As an individual I can't go through the new system that Pope Benedict has approved. If I decide to do it I would be converting on my own. The RCIA will allow me to make an informed...

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Aspen, you went from being a Presbytarian to a Roman Catholic. Can you tell me about your experience and how you dealt with the transition. Did you do the RCIA? Would I need to be confirmed again? would I have to have the same 1st communion ceremony that kids have?

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    Before he was the Archbishop of Catabury he was the Bishop of Wales and at a Welsh gathering of people of all different religions a Pagan group pulbically acknowledged him as a Druid, which he showed no objections to. As for his support of SHaria, you can google thatt. He said a few years ago...

    Thinking of Converting to Catholicism

    I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm going to take it to the next level. I've decided to the the RCIA. When I've done that I will know if I want to join the RCC or not. Most of you know I'm an Anglcian whoes beliefs are very similar to Roman Catholicism but I'm getting a bit...

    Should believers fear Hell?

    I've always seen it in more or less the same way. God the Father loves us but will think nothing of sending us to Hell for so much as coughing or looking at him funny, I suppose if God the Father was so hard we wouldn't ahve sent Jesus, the Son to die for us but why is he not angry for us, I...

    Should believers fear Hell?

    Why does their have to be a Hell? Why can't bad people just die and that's the end of it. No crime is worth eternal punnishment/ No judge would sentence a man to infinity in prison for stealing a loaf of bread so why does Hell ahve to be permenant. I do believe Hell is permenant and ocne...

    Should believers fear Hell?

    Is it right for believers to fear Hell or should they automatically expect to go to Heaven. I know you can't earn salvation but so many people jsut seem to think that they ahve a free pass to Heaven and I believe that you can't just accept Jesus and then do whatever you like because by...
