Scripture says when your sister sins against you, and they think they haven't sinned against you, we are take our differences/disagreement to the Church to decide who is right. You don't have a church that you can go to? What is the definition of a believing-believer? Mary

Which denomination is closer to the teachings of Gods Church? Mary

I thought scripture, not me or you, would be the 'morals police" on abortion being murder or not? My morals say it is ok to steal from the rich. I wonder if I am at "one mind" with my congregation OR scripture on that one. You would outlaw praying to Mary but you think each individual gets to...

I agree with you; there is only one Church. A church/denomination is made up of people. Those people decide the doctrine/beliefs of their church based on how they interpret scripture. There are denominations that teach abortion is not murder. There is a member on this website that believes...

Each individual congregation gets to decide if abortion is murder or not? Mary

The complaint is not that she believes different than I. The complaint is she is condoning murder. The question is who's church settles this difference? The one who's doctrine teaches that abortion is murder OR the church that teaches abortion is not murder? For you see the "difference" is not...

An infant/young child, an adult with a very low IQ or brain injury who can't comprehend those things gets "the wrath of God"? A human being in the middle of the jungle who never heard of Jesus, salvation, forgiveness etc. etc. gets "the wrath of God"? Mary

Hi VIJ, No baiting here my friend. YOU asked an open-ended question: "What do you believe is the way?" I simply asked you: The way to what? If Jesus is the way to those 8 things you posted then what happens to the people who never heard of Jesus? Mary

Hi bbyrd, Let's pretend that the difference is I say abortion is murder, she says it isn't. Which Church do we go to settle this difference? Mary

Hi GG, Let's say my "problem" with my friend is that we disagree on abortion or gay marriage or woman as pastors or the Real Presence or baptism saves/doesn't save...pick your poison!! She goes to her church priest/pastor and they tell her 'a baby isn't alive until it comes out of the womb...

Hi GG, Good point. Not ALL administrators are believers. I think we can both agree the vast majority (95% or more) of ANYONE that works for a church are believers? Your splitting hairs!! Based on that FACT: How can little c and big C be different if both are made up of people who believe...

Hi GG, I'm confused! All believers (big C) are people. The administration and magisterium of a Church (little c) is made up of people also. They are believers also. How can little c and big C be different if both are made up of people who believe? Mary

The way to what? Salvation? IHS....Mary

Jesus Christ is the only way to what? IHS....Mary

Hi, If scripture is The Truth then that means someone's translation has to be right. Right? How do we figure out which translation is right? If one does have The Truth then wouldn't their way be "the ONLY way"? IHS...Mary

Hi GG, Men of The Church did go astray and were sinful. That does not make the doctrines of The Church wrong or corrupt The Truth. If the standard is 'some of the men of the church became corrupt that means the entire teaching/doctrine/dogma of the church is corrupt' then EVERY denomination...

You believe that non Christians will be born again as little Christian/Catholic children? Are you talking about re-incarnation? Curious Mary

Hi GG, I know this is a conversation between you and bbyrd, however, if you care to engage with me I have a question. What exactly happened in the late 300's, early 400's that went askew with Christianity? Also, if you are suggesting that infant/child baptism became popular around Augustine's...

I fail to understand what all of that has to do with your original question: Whose authority is true in "seek your own salvation?" Mary

I don't understand your question.:(
