I made no argument at all. Read again more carefully what I wrote. I only suggested that some people base their decision to attend or not attend church meetings on those verses. I did not say that I was or that I was not included in "some people".

I knew this much, but I do not claim to be an expert on the CC. I also understand that on some things the CC has changed since the time I was a practicing member [1961 and before]. My own beliefs mostly originate directly from my own Bible reading and study combined with what I have heard from...

Are there then none who have not been deceived but in spite of knowing truth simply walked away from it along their own pathways purposely in order to "enjoy" their allotted time here?

What manner of spirit indeed? They were walking with Jesus, but it is apparent that they were Not OF the same manner or sort of Spirit that Jesus was! [Could that tell us anything about people who belong to churches today, but do not really know anything about their Head or who their head is...

Don't forget also the following verses regarding those given by God to assist us: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ...

Hello Mary! It's been a while since we talked. According to what you believe you might be correct. You have faith that the Catholic Church is THE Church and that the dogmas of the CC are correct. So then as Jesus put it, 'according to you faith be it unto you' [from Matt 9:29]. Then according...

So then you apparently live by knowledge rather than by faith. Why is your knowledge better than the knowledge of people who you say are false and engaged in nonsense? How do you know what you know? "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct...

Praying for you now, brother!

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." Matt 17:1-2 Only three of the twelve went with up on the...

Praying for you and yours now!

From faith to knowledge! From through a glass darkly to face to face! From imperfection to perfection! "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." Luke 2:52 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" I Peter 2:2...

Give God the glory!

"A soft answer turneth away wrath:...Prov. 15:1 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29

The whole of the written scripture clarify them indeed. So simple for one who really believes and so complicated for the carnal mind of any man

Some have called him, Thomas the Doubter! Has anyone ever applied such name to you?

"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in...

@Jared42 "The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." John 20:25
