Thank you Helen. Since, according to you, we don't know what the truth is that means we don't know WHAT to believe. Scripture says "he who does not believe will be condemned". Since we don't know WHAT to believe I guess we are all condemned. It seems to me you don't believe the absolute...

Hi Scott, Why not 73 books? What about all those people that called upon God and His answer to them was 73 books? What if they were also taken in the spirit to a place only God could know and they were told something different than you? Those same men and women who accept 73 books believe...

Hi BG, I always enjoy your thoughtful and well thought out post. If no one has The Truth from scripture then God is being cruel to us. We can never know what teaching/belief is heretical. Your belief is just as valid as mine....mine just as valid as yours? Everyone's belief (doctrine) is valid...

Hi Scott, Which bible? The one with 66 books or 73 books? Mary

According to your statement there is a "designated group of people". Only those that "study the scripture" are "WE" according to your theory. What about all the people who didn't have a bible in their home to study before the printing press was invented? Or the people who are to illiterate to...

My dear friend. I don't despise you. I don't even know you. ;) YOU are the one who said that denominations have heretical teachings and accused the pope of heresy. Since you KNOW what a heretical teaching is and KNOW who is committing heresy you must be infallible. The Catholic Church believes...

Hi truth, I don't understand your answer. You listed the Septuagint, Tanach, Chumash and you seem to believe the KJV (translated in the 15th century) is the translation you can trust. Giving me a list of books you read doesn't answer my question: How you know they are the revealed words of God...

If I may chime in...if you don't want to answer, I'm ok with that also. I have two simple questions: How do you know that the book you read is the word of God? How was this revealed to you? Mary

The pope can not change the dogma of The Church. The dogma of The Church are truths of the faith revealed by Jesus Christ, taught by the apostles, and handed down by the apostles to their successors. Since revealed truth cannot change the dogma can not change. Just because a pope says something...

I agree with you that Christ is present in the Eucharist. I believe it because scripture says He is. How do we know we are right? Maybe the anti-real presence denominations are right? If scripture is so "clear" on all these issues why are there so many denominations that come up with different...

How can The Church be 'individuals who have given their lives to him"? If The Church is, as you say, individuals then that means that The Church has millions of different "truths" since we all interpret scripture differently. I thought scripture has only one Truth? In His service...Mary

Sounds like YOU are infallible since you know what heresy is and isn't. You know which denomination's have heretical teachings and that the Pope is not a Christian. Mary

Who is "we"? The Catholic Church? Mormon Church? Baptist...Lutheran....Marymog? Job sitting in his lounge chair reading and interpreting scripture? We all read the "hard to understand" portions of scripture and come up with different interpretations. Who is right? What came to light for me may...

Hi Job, I believe that scripture teaches marriage is between a man and a woman. There are many "Christian" churches who support, condone, accept, actively participate in same sex marriages. Their teaching is opposite of most denominations. Same with abortion, real presence in the Eucharist...

Is anyone who "continue to support the heretical teachings" Christians? Wouldn't that be anti-Christian? Since "Pope Francis is a walking contradiction to the Dogma of the faith" is he a Christian? I didn't say "All Catholics are false Christians". As you may have noticed there is a question...

Hi Job, I was using Catholics and Mormons because they are the most ridiculed or attacked for their beliefs. They are just the two examples I chose to use. I could have said How will we know they are the 'right' Christians and not the false Christians like the Baptist or Lutheran's...Job or...

Who will Christ notify when there is a heresy? How will I know if I "know the words of Christ" or if someone else, such as yourself, actually knows the words of Christ? How does one discern that? Does it matter what denomination I belong to or what my beliefs are? My questions are very...

Hi Sword, What is the most egregious "garbage" you have seen "regurgitated" here? What, in your view, is our "lack of knowledge"? Are we only supposed to listen? Should we not correct someone when they are saying something opposite of scripture? Mary

Which Christians are supposed to "rise from the ashes"? Are they the ones who don't attend a denominational church? How will we know they are the 'right' Christians and not the false Christians like the Catholics or Mormons? Mary

How do we know a heretical teaching when we see/hear it? Who has the authority to define heresy? Mary
