Well, I had to give you a LOVE after all those compliments! But then you told me I'm all wet on some points! :clmSmlx Let's put it this way: Would YOU like to hear a woman celebrating Mass? Would YOU like to confess your sins to a woman priest? Would YOU go to her with some particular...

A blind person still has a soul... ditto for a deaf person, or a person that cannot smell or taste. A person in a coma has lost his will,,,he has lost his emotions. These reside in the soul. A person in a coma no longer has a soul for the above reason. There is no intentionality. He cannot...

Good reply. The other poster made statements that would require a very long reply... so much there. He said we contribute nothing to our salvation. I hope @soberxp reads his post no. 241. I've tried to explain to soberxp what some mean by the expression FAITH ALONE. They mean what the other...

I agree. Also to surrender and to give up are different and I used the term give up specifically. I don't know if you want to continue with this topic... It started out referring specifically to church matters.

I don't think we're addressing the same topic.

Agreed. Women give up a lot too...but it's tougher on a man. Some understand this and some women don't - those that do appreciate a husband all the more. Could you add to why Jesus chose men? I don't think the above addresses this... If it's tough for a man to surrender to a church... why...

I think you mistyped your last sentence. You mean some women left the church because they felt unequal? Well, that's modern women for ya! You know, we can't have it both ways. Men want women to have a specific role and the're right to want this. But then they also want women to be equal...

I'm not going to debate this Taken. Both the body and the soul are by God. The spirit of man is also by God. The first body formed by God had no life. God breathed life into the body. Adam's life had both soul and spirit. Of course a living body WILL have a soul. But some understand this in...

Jesus chose men because human nature does not changed... how it was 4 thousand years ago is still today and forever will be until the end. Men are stronger....it was right that men go out into the world to preach and teach. Women are weaker...they get tired faster, they have less strength in...

I agree! But we're all priests in God's eyes. Even the CC teaches this (I don't remember hearing it in the far past). Forget about being a priest or not...YOU could have been a priest, I could not. Which is fine with me. What about teaching? Can I teach a room full of men? Am I allowed to TAKE...

Actually, as I'm sure you know...women were treated better in the time of Moses than in the time of Jesus. It was certainly a tradition...but Jesus changed the traditions He didn't like. Like doing some work on the Sabbath, for instance - to quell hunger, or to help someone or an animal in...

Taken, your list is of the BODY NOT of the SOUL.

In the eyes of the Lord there is no difference. I'm addressing the differences in the CC. Also, I believe women should NOT have roles of authority in the church... I do not believe they should be pastors or priests. This is correct and follows what Jesus wanted. He chose MEN to be...

You're always nice nedsk. "confusing roles with equality is a modern illness". What does equality mean? NOUN BEING EQUAL ESPECIALLY IN STATUS, RIGHTS, OPPORTUNITY. (from the Oxford Dictionary - I couldn't copy and paste) So do YOU really think I can consider myself equal in the CC?

I THINK I agree with you. Some misunderstand Genesis 2:7 and this creates odd doctrine, as you've stated. Could you explain better what you believe the soul to be? In the OT it does mean self or personhood. Doesn't it mean this in the NT as well? Is a person composed of: BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT ??

Be nice nedsk! Woman SHOULD not be equal in Christianity. In the CC they certainly aren't. A woman cannot be a Deacon and certainly not a priest. And I'm hoping this doesn't change. A woman can teach children but cannot teach adults - unless in an informal manner in a home.... and some...

I agree with you 100% Are you new to these Forums? You'll find many that state that good works are not necessary and some even say that they're a sin because we're trying to help God and this is a sin. So I agree with you. Except that those that believe in FAITH ALONE do not believe in good...

There are not good workers and bad workers in the Kingdom of God here on earth. We each do whatever good work we can do.... we cannot do more than that. Some do more and some do less.... but we cannot mock God...He cannot be tricked. He knows what we are doing....what we are able to do and what...

You mean that it's like adding something that is not true... to something that is true? Yes. Many Christians do this.

I agree with the OP... What is it about @LoveYeshua 's OP that is the message that doesn't make sense?? Here is his last paragraph. I don't know what could explain Christianity better: Therefore the will of God, as revealed in both the Old Testament and the words of Jesus, is clear and...
