Oops! I just realised I said I mean't you should not cheat on your taxes.

If there is exampmtion then how can the money be Caesar's (the government)

Render to Caesar what is Caesar's. That is why you should cheat on your taxes.

Yes, they do all worhsip the same God but only us Christians do it properly.

I have a heard time with this one! How can murder and shoplifting be the same in God's eys, I can't imagine God seeing them as being the same I jsut can't it doesn't make snse. Catholics believe there are two different types of sin; mortal and venial. Mortal sins damage your relationship with...

Good point Selene. The last time I watched a Biblical movie I never saw anyone in slacks, not even the Romans. But there's nothing wrong with women wearing trousers anyway even if you consider them mens clothing because women's trousers are cut differently, they are not men's trousers, they...

I think for the most part it is harmless fun but like aspen say's it could be dangerous in some cases. All the dressing up doesn't bother me but I really don't like seeing people ind evil costumes. Anythings I'm not bothered but as a Christian I am offended by people dressing up as the devil...

I alsways look at Job when I think of this kind of thing, his stoicism after all that happened to him is a geat example to us. As for why these things happen, well there all part and parcel of living in a fallen world. You see while the spirit of aChristian is saved from eternal fire and...

It doesn't have to be locked. I know it was partly my fault for it going off, so why not just remove the posts from then on. There's no point in locking it if there's anything useful left to say about child salvation.. As far as I'm concerned child salvation is difficult because in order to...

We're going off topic again guys do you want it to be locked.

What about women keeping their heads covered in chruch, I've seen it done in the Orthodox chruch but nowhere else.

Couple of things bud It's council not counsel. Also,You can't pin revelation prophecies on the Catholic church because unless you didn't know Catholics are Christians, so it isn't right to call them the dragon. This kind of thought might have been acceptable in the 16th century but it...

There is more to Christinaity than just the scriptures, what about oral tradition and church councils? If it wasn't for them we still wouldn't have figured out the divinity of Christ and we would all be divided about it. Nowerdays Christianity is very fragmented with so many denominations but...

Two points 1. God is all powerful and if he wants to make a person sinless he can do so even if it contradicts the general principle that all humans are sinners. 2. I ti smore likely that the Immaculate conception of Mary was the reult of the early church wanting to emphasise Christ's...

mary needed to be a pure vessal in order for Jesus to bve born from her. Thias is the doctrine of the Immaculate conception of Mary. I can believe it but I can't really explain it any further I suppose if God wants to have someone born without original sin then he's perfectly capable of...

Argh Selene, Of course the Catholic church would never sanction such dealings with Pagans but if the superstitious parents think a child is posessed and they take him to a priest who won't do anything hen they turn to a pagan healer. They only turn to the old magic when the church doesn't do...

Selene Come on! you know I'm not that silly. I know just as well as you do that the Phillipinse is a Catholic country and that Priests are not witchdoctors. The church doesn't like to do exorcisms so they seek out people who are prepard to do them, who use more pagan means to get the job done...

I found an interesting article about it http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/1998/dec/30/2 They do it a lot in the Phillipines, but it is done by witchdoctor types. I think there's a fine line between mental illness and posession. I don't know anything about psychology but the human mind is so...

I'm not sure but I've always thought that God treats us all as individuals rather than tarring several people with the same brush. In Revelations the dead are judged and it says (Revelations 20:12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another...

traditionally 7 is the beginnin of reason and it was thought that no-one under that age was capable of mortal sin (sin that can send you to Hell),. In the middle ages and today in many third world countries parents have their children baptized when they less than aweek old. Now I know many of...
