thank you, I'll read over that chapter.

I agree with that, God used many mighty women in the Bible. The scripture some use is, 1 Timothy 2:12 - "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

I'm looking for insight on this topic (not a debate) My family is Methodist and growing up I attended a Methodist church and women as pastors was accepted. Where I am living now, there is a huge church of Christ population (I live in a small town, not many church options) and after attending...

God created the angels and before Satan's rebellion he was an angel. Isaiah 14:12,13 - "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt...

Interesting indeed! :) Do you believe that God created everything in six literal 24 hour days and rested on the 7th? This was brought up in one of my classes, how could it be 24 hour days when the sun was created on the 4th day and by that is where we get our measure of time? So, was creation a...

Interesting. While I'm currently 25 years old, it is hard for me to look in the future and see myself even at 35 or 40 :eek: I believe that when it's our time, it's our time. My grandfather is 80 and is in great health, drives, travels, very active. I would like to live to an old age if I'm...

BreadOfLife, I love you in the Lord. We both agree that Jesus is the only way to the Father and forgiveness of sins is found in Him alone and that one should pursue to remain faithful. We may differ in other areas (no one 100% agrees on anything) and it's clear we both are firm in our beliefs...

Growing up in the 90s ( I know I'm young, lol) the horror series "Scream" was huge and I've seen the movies many times. As I've grown in my faith I do not watch horror movies anymore. There are demonic doorways we can invite things we don't want around. What pleasure is there in seeing people...

When I’m in HEAVEN with GOD I don’t need the prayers of people on earth.

Of course He does, I don't disagree with that. What I am making reference to is that it takes the act of God for one to have salvation. Unsaved people don't suddenly decide to follow Jesus in full submission.

I made my point clear. They wouldn't have been sold if there was not a purpose, and you're right, it was an abuse. People cannot pay their way towards anything.

Pope Leo X used the money....

None of us could make a choice for God unless God convicted us. Human nature is bound in sin and no sinner ever desires to follow God until they're convicted by God. John 6:44 - No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

John Tetzel sold them for Pope Leo X. If you know they existence then why does it matter who sold them if YOUR church has it recorded already in their Catechism. You're trying to deflect

If you "Amen" to it then you are aware that they exist and supported by the Catholic Church. "Applying them to the dead" is in support of it.

Before humans ever populated the earth everything was already settled and known, He knows the end from the beginning. Stating that is was just phenomenological takes away from the sovereignty of God, just my thought on it.

to start with, Immaculate Conception Mary was not sinless.

CCC 1471 The doctrine and practice of indulgences in the Church are closely linked to the effects of the sacrament of Penance. What is an indulgence? "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful...

And th The fact is that me, you, and every other believer in Jesus were not even in existence yet when God created the world and knew all the choices. "He chose us" Yes, I agree with you God is outside of time, but we are not, what was true to Him from the eternal past is still true now...
