Who are you talking too? That better not be me.

Somehow we've gotten way off topic and transplanted old contentions from other threads to this one. To the OP, I agree wholeheartedly that we make God physical when we do his will, becoming his hands and feet. I don't know if I agree that God is spirit. The whole point of the Incarnation is...

There's a story of the Prophet Elisha that amply demonstrates God's Old Testament mercy. The king of Syria made war with Israel with an army that greatly outmatched Israelite defenses. But as the armies approached, Elisha prayed and the armies were struck with blindness. The blinded army was...

I'm not sure how you're characterizing the belief that salvation can be forfeited as "radical". OSAS is in the minority, not us. But perhaps I'm missing your point because you posted several like themed scriptures and then gave a response you got from a different site. I don't think the OP is...

1. I didn't miss your point at all, but apparently you missed mine. You ask perfect strangers on the internet to get personal with you and you don't see anything inappropriate about that. 2. I don't believe your story. The Catholic Church has never forbidden the reading of the Holy...

Has anyone picked up on the trend that "all the churches are wrong" usually is the justification for the rise of cults? Mr. Zain has already said he doesn't have a church and doesn't attend, tells us all we should be distrusting our churches like he does. What he hasn't revealed yet is what...

Since when does the media fail to indulge in speculation? -_-

In the 8th century, there was a pedophile who started a religion claiming he was descended directly from Abraham. I'm just leery on anyone who makes too big a deal out of being related to Abraham and automatically suspect their motives.

You don't even speak for all Protestants. The majority of Protestants, Lutherans, Anglicans, etc believe in a literal transubstantiation of the elements. So no, it isn't a Catholic vs Protestant thing, it's your misguided belief against what Christians have always believed for 2000 years...

So...you mean all those terrible things I say about you.... :unsure:

The same could be asked of you. I don't expect anyone to bare their souls on the internet. This is a discussion forum and it's publicly displayed. I hold back a lot of personal things about my life and my family, not because I don't trust you..... Well, yes, it's because I don't trust you...

Yes. Well said.

Sounds like somebody wanted more money in the plate. I've heard plenty of sermons crafted subtly to hint that people should be giving more to the church. And you're right about the bills! With a family of 6 on one income, bills pretty much take up everything. If I have a little left over to...

I can't believe you don't see it for yourself. You're inserting words that confound what the Scripture actually says. "And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' Therefore whoever eats this bread or...

I think that sums it up. We have been grafted in to the descendants of Abraham and the covenant. I've seen this taken too far with American or British Israelism doctrines and often this feeds into Christian Identity and other groups that believe whites are God's chosen people. I guess some...

Speaking of a sick world, now people are proposing a "shoe trick" to remind yourself that you have a child in the back seat and not to leave them in a hot car. I'm not making this up: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/07/02/child-deaths-hot-cars-solution/12098917/ I have 4...

Malad, now I'm really beginning to see what you're saying about self righteous Christians. It seems there's a gauntlet of them right on this forum.

John, you can't even get my gender right, much less actually understand what I'm saying. Oh, and as you admitted earlier, you don't go to church at all. Your hypocrisy is astounding! Maybe you should start. Submit to earthly authority as God commands and maybe you'll learn some humility in...

I would like to see Catholics and Protestants come back together on the issue of contraceptives. We used to be allies on this issue, but then many mainline Protestant denominations fell away from opposing it beginning with the 1930 Anglican Lambeth Conference. I believe that worlds of evil...
