    WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

    Hello BB, Hmm.. With the Church in Rome, and the Church in Alexandria (and the Church in Constantinople), I have 2 (or 3) 2000 year old apostolic witnesses who testify that the Sacraments we recieved from Christ through the apostles, and that they are integral to the way of salvation and the...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Can't go wrong sticking with Peter! Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers." Peace be with you! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    Dear sister, All the more to reach out to them no? For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. If you lend money to those from...

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    Hello Wrangler, You think not? And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth. John testified to him and cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'The one who is coming after me ranks...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Hi CadyandZoe, If we had only our own understanding to rely upon, i might agree with you. But for the same reason that we kbow our High Priests offering was acceptable (He has risen from the dead), we know that what He said was True, and His promises are sure! He founded a community...

    Covid

    This reminded me of my Bishop's intention that the whole Church in Winnipeg offers at every Mass: We pray to the Lord Jesus, Who went about doing good and healing the sick. We ask for strength in body, mind and spirit for all those who are sick with the coronavirus. We pray especially for those...

    Covid

    We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined he also called; and those...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Idolatry and the like in Catholicism

    Very well thank you! @byrrd and I may not have seen eye to eye on many things, but we were certainly in agreement that doing what Jesus said is critically important.. "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Hello Candy, I respectfully disagree. In the sacraments we have objective certainy that they convey the Grace which they also signify. So has the Church taught for 2000 years.. Any community that ceases to baptise, will cease to bear fruit for the Kingdom.. Peace be with you! Christ is...
