My dear Scott, YOU are the one that said, "those whom are divided are of the world, and those whom are One are of Christ". How do you know that? Is it part of your job description to know that? You have me very confused. Your woman being silent in church interpretation of scripture is bizarre...

Thank you Job for your quick and direct response. I looked at all your post from page 8-17 and this is the only post from you that contained a passage from scripture: 19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a...

Hi FHII, Sola fide was invented 500 years ago. It was not a teaching of the Christian community for the first 1,500 years of Christianity. I guess if you throw out every verse that destroys your theory, you are right. I think Peter was Satan since Jesus said he was: Matthew 16:23...Prove me...

Thank you Job. I am not asking you to debate. I am just asking you to share those policies. I don't think that is unreasonable. There are currently 101 pages in the Catholic thread. I did a search of that thread and was unable to find what you are talking about. (I probably didn't use the right...

Hi Job, I understand that part; it's not a physical church. I guess I didn't make myself clear and I apologize. You said that there are "strict policies". That infers that you know what they are. Would you share those policies with me before I become a member of the Catholic Church? I thought...

And I think they have a common Church to settle their difference if they still can't agree: Matthew 18:17 I wish them luck and would love to offer my opinion on their disagreement....but I don't know what the disagreement is. :( Mary

My salvation is in Heaven?

Job, Thank you for your answer. That description kind of sounds like a denominational church to me. All the individual members of a denominational church believe they are doing the Will of the Father and they are (supposed to be) united in the same beliefs. Their policies (doctrines, rules...

Thank you Pisteuo. Your original "label" comment makes sense to me now that you have explained it. You make a very good point. May suggest a different way to look at it OR let you know how I look at it. What if they say they belong to the Baptist church that has (had) Fred Phelps as their...

My dearest Pia, As you may have noticed I did not put one single question in my post to you. In my post to you I just made a statement about what I believe. You then responded to me with a 260+ word response about what you think, feel or believe. Your post has two question's in it. I answered...

Hi Scott, Your analogy is pretty good except one flaw. If the chefs and the waiters, the jockeys and the trainers or the players and coaches have a disagreement someone with authority has the final say. If any of them disagree with that authority and they continue to do things their way, they...

Hi Scott, Women being silent in church is 1Corinthians 14:34 and the next line (35) says "If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home". Once we put that passage in context your interpretation of it falls apart and is not accurate. When I meet someone who says...

My dear Pissteuo, YOU are the one who used the word "label". I was just giving you a chance to explain what YOU meant by that word in the CONTEXT that you used it. However, it seems that you do not want to do that so I will ASSUME what you meant by it. I am going to assume when you use the...

Ok....what is a label? Curious Mary

Hi Scott, Some Christians say abortion is murder some say it isn't. Some say same sex marriage is acceptable most say it isn't. Some say woman can be pastors/preachers/priest some say they can't. Some believe in the real presence some say there is no such thing. Some say baptism saves you...

Scott, All the parts (should) still work as One. The Church is NOT one. It is CLEARLY divided. What is "dead speaking"? I have never heard that term. You are denying that ALL OF THIS is not division? Some Christians say abortion is murder some say it isn't. Some say same sex marriage is...

Hi Pissteuo, Are you saying that anyone that belongs to an organized Church is NOT following Christ? Curious Mary

There are certain things that you HAVE to believe to be a Catholic which is Dogma. The Churches Dogma are Truths that are revealed in Scripture. Dogma is something that is infallibly taught by the Church as something that has been divinely revealed. I accept those teachings of The Church. I...

If I may jump in here I think I can answer that. I was listening to a Catholic podcast the other day and the Catholic Church teaches that it has The Truth and fullness of scripture. No other Church does. Therefore if one attacks or tells lies about The Truth, The Church or Scripture then it...

A faction is a group within a larger group that has different ideas and opinions than the rest of the group. I agree with a large portion of what the Catholic Church teaches. I now adhere to their teachings and beliefs and I hold some different ideas then they do but none of those different...
