Okay, I know Catholics struggle with scripture because they aren't allowed to make up their own minds as to what its actually saying, having to defer to the church even though the church's teaching may contradict scripture. What wild imagination you reveal is exemplified in the texts you have...

You make such a remark to justify your agreement with the devil in the garden, (Genesis 3:4) yet rail against those who point out your deviant interpretation?

What is the inevitable result of any separation from the only giver of life?

There is a great deal more revealed regarding the mystery religion of Babylon than in that one letter/portion of Revelation. The Antichrist inherited a great deal more than the characteristics and teachings of Babylon. Notice in Revelation 13 there are three other empires that comprise the...

Who indeed!!! Absurd!

Actually, yes, it is too much to ask. And too little. If a Catholic gives up what Jesus says to give up, they would cease to be Catholic. They would be excommunicated. They would be in essence, "God's people coming out of her".

My initial question was, without a brain and/or body parts, how does a soul operate? Your texts suggest that whoever you are speaking of does have those body parts... So when does the transition from a body-less entity to a thinking physical entity occur? It must be after the Resurrection right...

did I say that?

No, they don't suffice. They are the same old tired go-to texts that have been dragged up for eons and for which there have always been adequate rebuttals and explanations as to how and why they don't say what you want them to. Three examples... First The parable of Lazarus... He is described as...

I agree with you that heaven and hell begin as a mindset. We become children of the kingdom even though we haven't physically been there yet... In the meantime we are ambassadors in a foreign land under the cruel tyranny of a usurper who no longer legally runs it. But soon praise God the...

@Marymog The principle concept behind baptism is burial. And you don't bury people unless they're dead. Again, read Romans 6. Sprinkling simply doesn't cut it. Neither does a living infant who cannot voluntarily surrender his life into the hands of another.

Do you have a scripture to confirm that the soul of anyone is a separate cognizant being without the spirit or the flesh? I mean, it opens up a lot of questions. Without the brain how does the soul think, speak, see, hear, touch, or feel? Without the breath (Spirit) how does it breathe...

If you want to keep up to date with earthquakes and even predictions... Watch.

Currently we're all so focused on covid as a prophetic indicator, has anyone noticed the last months figures for earthquakes? There have been a series of deep very serious earthquakes all around the Pacific and through Indonesia. So deep the damage was minimal... But concerning nevertheless. The...

You are a very confused person.

From the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible... Exodus 20:4-5 [4]Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. [5]Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am...

My entire point is that in scripture there is no example of anyone being baptized without witnesses. Thus baptism, in every example given in scripture, even with Christ Himself, was an act wherein the one being baptized was publicly testifying to his commitment to a new life in Christ. If you...

In discussions of this nature and this topic, I tend to revert to two points of argument that at least to me, are incontrovertible. The first, and to me the most important, centers on the character of God. I've mentioned this many times in the past, but I have yet to be convinced of any error...

Bible study Mary?? If that were really so you wouldn't twist the text to suit your argument. Verse 38 speaks of going down into the water. Not only does that mean no sprinkling, but means that there was no curtain raised so no-one else could watch. When you read scripture Mary you are permitted...
