    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Actually, only those who have faith have deeds that matter. You can have ALL of the deeds int he world, but they mean nothing without faith in Christ. Yes - but we're not really talking about doctrinal issues here. It's more about leadership. John Paul the Great referred to Latin rite and the...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    James lays out what faith is for the Christian (James 2:14-24). He states that justificaton comes NOT from faith (pistis) only - but from out obedience to that faith, by what we DO. Paul makes the same case in 1 Cor 13:1-3. When the young rich man asked Jesus what he must do to obtain eternal...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    I agree that we should have dialogue with everybody. We shouldn’t be at war with other religions. Dialogue is how we come to understand each other better. YOUR brand of hatred doesn’t help anybody. I don’t believe that we should adopt the beliefs of others – and neither does the Catholic Church.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    It’s amazing how many times something can be explained to you – and you STILL don’t get it. Oh, well . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    It’s not that. It’s that no matter how many times I repeatedly explain the SAME thing too you – you’re just as confused as if I never said a word. In short – you don’t listen . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Translation: “I can’t argue with that conclusion . . .”

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Absolutely NOT. Christ is our refuge when we stumble. He doesn’t promote sinning – He gives us a way out when we struggle.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Like I said before – it’s like talking to a wall . . . You don’t understand what faith is, so your confusion about the “spirit of the Law” persists. As for Baptism – the Scriptures ensure us that it is not just a suggestion – but a necessity (Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Acts 2:38).

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    HUH?? Who said anything about ecumenism?? What color is the sky in your bizarre little world?

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    YOU are a perfect example of what Peter wrote: Peter 3:16 He (Paul) writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    WRONG. Faith is trusting in God by believing and obeying Him. Unfortunately, YOU see it as blind belief and nothing more . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    EVERYTHING that Jesus taught was for His Church. ALL of His believers are supposed to be part of His Body – the Church. Jesus and His Church are ONE. The Bible tells us in NO uncertain terms that – - The Church is the FULLNESS of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). - The Church is the Pillar and...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Either you cannot read, or you’re just not that bright. I have explained this to you, ad nauseam – and you persist in making the SAME erroneous claims. This is the LAST time: Toy YOU, Faith is believing. James 2:17 tells us that even the demons do that much. To CATHOLICS, Faith is believing...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Yes, His Church is ONE in the Holy Spirit. His Church, which is a spiritual entity – is also a physical and a VISIBLE entity, comprised of people. In Matt. 5:14, Jesus tells the Apostles that the Church was “the light of the world” and that, “A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” HisChurch was...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who speak on behalf of the Catholic Church yet have NO idea what they're talking about. First of all – not only CAN Catholics be Christian – we ARE Christian. In fact, long before there was any other denomination - we were the very FIRST...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    I answered with a question because your question was vague. I just need to know what you meant. Ir's obvious that thi was too unsettling for you ro address. You know where to find me whan you're ready tpo answer . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Sooo, it is that you don’t know – or hat you just want to be argumentative? I asked you a valid question: What’s the difference between a Christian, a Cathollic and a Roman Catholic? If you can’t answer the question - just say so . . .

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    That's what I figured you'd say . . .

    Much, but not ALL.. Tell me in your estimation - what's the difference?

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Nice try – but I’m not susceptible to reverse psychological tricks. You won’t start a thread because you don’t have the ammunition. Like I said – you’re new here, so you don’t understand why I’m here - NOT to pick fights or starts threads. I’ve explained on many occasions that I am here SOLELY...
