Jesus puts things into perspective. He shows no favoritism regarding people, He loves His sheep equally. When Jesus was told that His "Mother and brothers were outside", He told every one in the group, that they were'nt any more valuable then them, He did not favor them more nor were they any...

No, you see you fail to that it was God's plan all along to save me on Jan.1, 1991. All the motions prior to that were just steps along the path. I wasn't ready at 8 or 10 or 20. .Yes, the absence of the Popes, Mary and The Saints have had a devastating effect on me. So much unity that each of...

Yes, but His truth is mixed with our Falsehoods. We have a dual nature. There is a spiritual war going on inside us. The spirit wars against the flesh and vice versa. We receive mixed signals and err in separating the truth from something just fabricated, distorted or just misunderstood. If a...

True. But at least admit that "no one can come to the Father unless He first draws them"! Think about what actually is involved in this drawing Power? Wow, it would be equivalent to volumes of books of His plan for just one person. Every event, every person that you are directly or indirectly...

Actually in 30 years, I haven't paid much attention to what is going on in the Catholic Church. I have however experienced a wonderful relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit dwelling in me and the Father, Whom I pray to. I was called, and I answered the call, both inwardly and outwardly. I...

It probably wasn't their teaching, It was me, I wasn't ready, wasn't interested. That is absolutely true, there was no parental influence at all. That is wonderful. I doubt that all Catholics are as hungry for the Word. I do believe your position on that could challenged fervently - I dont...

So do you think you were able to chose God without His assistance, His enabling you, drawing you and lifting the veil of blindness so that you could see? Did you do that on your own independent free will?

ST. Ann's in Bridgeport, CT. / Black Rock community. I went to Black Rock grammar school and right next door was St. Ann's school and church. In 3rd grade we had the option of getting out of school for a period and walking next door or to the Protestant church 1/2 mile away. My brother and I...

We have a will, but it is not free. Total freedom would be complete unrestrictive actions without penalties. Are we free of God's guidance, free of Satan's influence? Before you were a Christian, do you think your were independent of God's guidance, love, Grace, protection? If He just let you go...

Doubting Thomas! Thank you for the complement I often receive - I look 15 years younger than I am. I was born in 1955. The Avatar picture was taken 4 years ago. I remember I started Catechism in the third grade. Because I was born in November, I was able to start Kindergarden at 4 years and 10...

Your thinking is flawed. God has foreknowledge of things that will happen and things that He will prevent from happening. That is what having sovereignty allows God to do. God had foreknowledge of Saul's intentions, his thinking - which he prevented from be coming a reality AND what actually did...

Jesus is the cornerstone. Is He ti be pelted away? When did start building his church? At Pentecost. Who was preaching when the Holy Spirit descended upon them? Peter. It was just a factual statement informing people with whom and when this will happen.

Also if you researched most original state constitutions in the USA, it was an absolute requirement to be Christian to run for any office of government ... some separation aye! 9 of 13 originalbstates had such constitutions. Example of one: Delaware, 1776 Every person who shall be chosen a...

Separation of Church and Sate was purposed to protect the Church from government, not the other way around. Pilgrims and the founding fathers came here to seek freedom to practice their personal choice of religion, to choose which Christian denomination and not have the Pope for instance to...

I remember a teaching I heard from a wise theologian. He said, "Anything that controls you is your master (like a habit or addiction), is sin for you. Don't let anything have mastery over you." It is against your own body and as others point out, effects others too. He went on giving examples...

Umm ... They were the branches that were cut off. This is an arrogant and prideful response. Be careful! Those who curse Israel will be cursed, those who bless them will be blessed. You have adopted Replacement theology which is in error. Jesus is Lord and the source of salvation and their...

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come...

It is out of print, it didn't to well, probably because I chose the wrong title and the cover was quite frightening, "Hell ... If I Know". Why that title? Well, the nature of Hell was my initial focus, but then I figured I had to start the reader from the beginning as if they knew nothing about...

The topic of justice and forgiveness that leads to peace and harmony and injustice caused by sin can be a common denominator and open up a channel of discussion. But doesn't the atheistic use pain and suffering in the world for his argument against the existence of God.? "If there is a God, why...

What does God's sovereignty mean then, if not in control of good and evil, a plan for mankind down to each individual? His ending is already written. If prophecy includes future events that will happen with precision, then nothing can offset, interupt and mess it up. Every individual plays a...
