No, I had no confirmation one way or the other.

Praying for situation.

Praying!

Yes, I hope that when a person prays his purpose is doing is right. Even if I do not believe it is right I pray that God will provide understanding in the man about what he is asking. Then in accord with God's will I do ask that it be done. Sometimes unknowingly people do ask for things...

I always try to pray in accord with God's will. In Jesus as a man subject to temptations, it was always so... in accord with God's will that is. Will it ever always be so for any of us? Is Jesus a liar? Mr 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God...

@Hobie and any others on this thread addressing themselves to @Willie T... Willie T passed away [died physically] a few months after his posts on this thread. Please notice the "Heaven sent Staff Member" notation after his name. This was done in memory of him. I should not expect any responses...

I am not laying claim to intelligence for myself unless it be that I have chosen to follow Jesus. As to the man I knew I was using man's IQ ratings. I would not pretend to compare him with a believer. I leave him in God's capable hands and hope somewhere along his road he also has encountered...

Do you believe that only smart people follow God as they should? The smartest person I have ever known was an atheist. He was wrong on the important thing of all as I see it... in spite of his high IQ. 1co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to...

Praying for Salome!

It relates to what you said. I tried to use your logic with which I do not agree. As to Catholicism, why are you not a Catholic? Just saying it is not correct is not answering the question really. [I have not been a practicing Catholic myself for more than 60 years.] Who is leading us on our...

Amen! And also this: Jas 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! Jas 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire...

1co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 1co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be...

Alas, it has not always been so...

Yes indeed! I remember my involvement in my college philosophy class. This was after I stopped attending mass and had yet to become involved with any Protestant group. They talked about God and I remained silent because I had no words for them even though in my heart, I still believed in God...

All of us are just getting started when we first come to God and begin reading our Bibles. If we are to presume that the Church already has it all right, then why are not all still with the Catholic Church? Why do any of us belong to a break-away group?

If you are interpreting that verse that way then knowledge is also no longer active or necessary..., so how can you know the knowledge that you say that you know? 1co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease...

Have I missed much? I knew two priests and one Catholic man who were close to God. There were others who probably were. As to the blood and flesh of Jesus: Do I not consume them every day? Thank you @Augustin56 for being friendly amidst so much unfriendliness. We, each of us... must go...

Do we live for God by facts or by faith? Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. And what is faith? Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

So am I my friend. After a few years trying to live a "good" life without God, I discovered that for me it would not work. I had a few personal experiences as a Catholic that kept me from ever forgetting God or actually denying His existence. Then when it was His time, He drew me and my family...

During my years as active Catholic [ended in 1961], I never knew a Catholic who read the Bible. There was only one Bible in our home, but no one read it. This 3-year Bible reading practice apparently began with the Vatican II which occurred after I was gone into the world. I was an altar boy...
