At some point you have to educate yourself instead of relying on others to educate you. If you are not aware of those passages from scripture that people use to support their beliefs then please take the time to learn them so that you are better equipped to defend your faith. Do not rely on...

LOL....Really? The majority believe it was 66 books? There are 1.3 billion Catholics and Orthodox Church members. There are 950 million Protestants. Soooooo how is it that "the majority believe that it was 66 books"??? Curious Mary

Thank you Just By Faith. I don't see an answer to my question. Let me ask it again using your own verbiage: Church #1 consider themselves Christian who, in their pov, believe that abortion and gay marriage is acceptable to God. They have used Scripture to back up their beliefs. Church#2...

Hi Willie, I believe we should follow the example of the Apostles as written in Scripture. You, I assume, believe the same thing. Can you please show me in scripture where the congregation picks the preacher or elder (leader) of their Church? Mary

I think I am a bit confused about what you are saying so I will digress.... Respectfully Mary

An Undesigned Coincidence is what seems like an insignificant detail within a narrative which matches some other, independent, detail in such a way that the two point to a consistent fact which does not form part of the main narrative. NOT that someone happened to be in the right place at the...

I agree. The bible you (protestants) have now has fewer books in it than it did for the first 1,500 years of Christianity. Protestantism took 7 books out of the Bible and Martin Luther wanted to remove even more. I can whole heartily assure you that there was much praying going on to God for...

Thank you for not being vile. :) Based on Strangers statements I said to and asked Stranger: You look at the “D” or the “R” at the end of someone’s name. You don’t look at the persons character or the content of their heart? Using your excellent examples of Biblical leaders with bad character...

What I was TRYING to say, or should have said, is that the 5 points of Calvinism were rejected by The Church a LONG time ago. Why is it ok to accept it NOW? How is something that was once rejected by The Church now accepted? Mary

Hi Willie. I need some clarification. You are saying that I should not, without question, blindly follow someone else or I risk being misguided by them. I agree with you 100% on that statement. In my case that would be the CC. You seem to think I am blindly following them. It seems to me you...

Hi Stranger, I will try to make my thoughts more clear: As Christians we are all to avoid sin and go make disciples of all nations (preach the faith). If we are preaching the faith and telling others to avoid sin, and then we sin (which we do), then we are hypocrites. If we call ourselves...

Hi Stranger, You and I are not enemies here. I lean libertarian/conservative republican; pro-life, pro-gun, anti-slavery, limited regulation, limited welfare etc. etc. I think we are generally on the same page but you are making blanket statements. To say that the Republican party is where the...

Hi Phoneman, You twist scripture and add words to it. NOW you are twisting and adding to your own words. Here is what you asked: Marymog, is the catholic church teaching the faithful to obey the Ten Commandments as they were written by the finger of God, or does the catholic church claim the...

If you want to talk about the Catechism of the Catholic Church how about if you QUOTE the Catechism???? Catechism of the Catholic Church Mary

Hi and thank you. Here is a scenario happening today: A member of a church reveals that she believes that getting an abortion is not a sin and gay marriage is blessed by God. Appalled at this 2-3 members of the church tell her she is wrong and give scripture verses to support their stance. She...

If you are asking about doctrinal or dogma issues you take it to the Church; just like scripture says. If, as you believe, the ordinary person sitting in the pew is the ACTUAL CHURCH then which ONE of them is the pillar and foundation of Truth? They all can't be the pillar and foundation of...

Thank you Willie. True, we do not KNOW the content of another's heart. However, their actions/political stances can strongly suggest the content of their heart. Mother Tersea, Pierre Toussaint, Paul G. Allen etc. etc. for example. If a Democrat is Pro-Life practicing Christian who does...

I believe it to be The Truth because it came from The Church established by Jesus. The Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth. Not you. Not me. Not Martin Luther. Not John Calvin......The Church, just like scripture says. Since Scripture also tells us to take our differences to The...

I agree, it was. Just to be clear I lean libertarian/conservative republican; pro-life, pro-gun, limited regulation, limited welfare etc. etc. This conversation started when Stranger said: How can any Christian cast a single vote for a democrat in the U.S. today? To do so would be to violate...

Hi willie. Hmmmm......You believe I am misguided because I practice what is preached by The Church. In essence you are saying that The Church is misguided which means I am misguided. You are DEGRADING me and my Church. Vile: tending to degrade. Definition of VILE You degraded me in this...
