Christianity is more than 500 years older than Islam.

I think it is good to ahve different expressions of Christianity as long as theya re Orthodox and by that I mean as long as they conform to the tenets of the Council of Nicea and other Ecumical councils. If someone told me they had a problem with the Nicene Creed then I would not count them...

Thank you friends. When I saw the report I was very distressed to think of what these Christians were going through for no other reason than they are not Muslims. These Christians have been there for nearly as long as Chrisitanity has existed and many of them sspeak Aramaic. They were there...

In Sudan it is getting harder and harder to be a Christian and in Indonesia also. While we are all celebrating and enjoying ourselves we must think of our persecuted brothers ans sisters and pray for them. Our Lord told his desciples that they would endure much and that it wouldn't be easy and...

Last night Channel4 news (its British network) did feature on the plight of Christians living Iraq. Only a few days ago a church was bombed in Bagdad killing 12 people and many Christians have left he city, in fact half of their 1 million Christians have left the country all together...

Scriptures that were written by menm they didn't just float down fromHeaven.

Wh are we still being sown pictures of saint's remains. This discussion is going nowhere; we're not going to agree with you and your not going to agree with us so let's just drop it.

He's far more conservative than his predecessr

I don't think he really said that, there's no way he would say that.

I wonder if a sermon is more generally bible based whereas a homily is based ons pecific passages. At my church we call them sermons but they are what you describe aspen. We have the lectionary with specific readings for specific days. mOst of our sermons are about the readings we had we had...

I've got a serious question! I've heard sermonsa nd I've heard homillies. Is there a difference or are they just two words for the same thing? I've never heard a catholic refer to a sermon, nor an eveangelical protestant refer to a homily and in the C of E it depends on what parish your in as...

Yes, have you heard Susan Boyle sing it?

Was just wondering what people's favourite carols are. Mine is Good King Wnceslaus, though I 'm told that it isn't a bonafide Christmas carol because it mentions the feast of Stephen which is the 26 of December and we in the UK call it Boxing Day. So I suppsoe really it is aboxing day carol...

To whom it may concern I'm not talking anymore with ignorant trolls who can't even be bothered to read a post properly and spend all their time making fun of type-o's especially when they have dyslexia. Very low isn't it but God is watching and he will sort the sheep from the goats and the...

I think we're going to ahve to agree to disagree ont he whole saints and relics thing. You say potato I say Potarto, you say tomato I say tomarto (that is how I really say it btw) let's call the whole thing off. We've discussed saints and relics, the universal catholic church, apostallic...

Scripture tells us not to make idols and worship them and no Catholic, Crthodox, Anglico-Cathoic, Maronite, Armenian, Ethiopian, Coptic or Celtic Christian would ever do so. You say to a statue of a saint: "Your are my saviour and I give my life to you, please help me with my problems and keep...

Cahter and verse: Revelations 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. That is proof that they interceed for us. Don't belittle me Marksman and don't make fun of St James, he's a better man than you...

That's got me thinking about eh Ave. All it does is greet Mary and ask her to pray for us. Ora pro nobis pecatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae: Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. We are all sinners and we all need praying for.

This is getting reidiculous! If not for Anastacia's pointless hate-posts we would actually have a really good thread here. I don't expect for one minute that everyone should just agree with the Catholics/Sacramentals on the forum because I believe God gave us different denominations of...

Anastacia! Please for crying out loud! We've explined about bowing don't you get it, havn't you been reading the replies. Bowing doesn't mean worship, how many times do we have to tell you? havn't you read the posts where I explained that saints remains aren't just any old bones, they are...
