The institution is in Rome. But OK,,,whatever.

I agree. I wanted to tell you that I did speak to the friar I told you about... Re levitiation: He said it could be caused by God or satan. Re Joachim of Fiore. He said that the idea of a perfect humanity did float around, but it was never taught by the church...much like limbo. (no such place).

Hi PJ, Everything you've said above is correct,,, I'd just like to make one correction that will help you explain it better.... When you capitalize Church,,,it DOES mean the Body of Christ. This includes all those that have ever believed in Christ. The CC calls this the Communion of Saints...

Why didn't you post that terrible, lying post of mine? Number 1337? Did you reread it and find that I was right after all? As to the above: It's rather difficult for a 10 to 12 year old to know the catholic church is teaching them wrongly. I'm telling you what the church taught ME when I was...

I'm not sure about the Shepherd of Hermas but I agree that the Didache should have been included. It would have taken care of many debates we have today. I have the extra-biblical books and tried to read them. I stopped after a while. They make no sense and yes, they are gnostic (many of...

Re the Pope... Believe what you will. I'm not debating this anymore. As to confession.. You're correct. What you state is what is taught NOW. When I was a little girl it was not permitted to receive communion without going first to confession. We had to go every Saturday afternoon and even...

Procreated by our parents..... God CREATED man and then He told man to recreate or procreate himself. Just like the plants are to do. We are still made in the image of God. This is accepted theology. We are ALSO conformed to the human image of His Son.

I gave up a long time ago. As to sin....before it was a sin to remarry and receive communion. Now it is no longer a sin....according to this very Pope... Amores Laetitia chapter 8 footnote 351 (maybe 350). Before you had to go to confession every time before receiving communion... Now you only...

I don't MAKE CLAIMS. I tell what the catholic church is teaching. If you wish to discuss my post no. 1337, you'll have to copy and paste it. I NEVER say what I don't mean or change my mind. If I said it in post 1337...I'll REPEAT IT AGAIN AND AGAIN because I know I told what IS... and NOT what...

I grew up in the states. I read something once about Jesus making a dead bird come back to life when He was a little boy. These accounts could be true.... The writers of the gospels were not interested in Jesus' boyhood and could very well have left it out even though they knew some details...

You can't be asking if Adam and Eve were procreated? Are you?

Ditto. God is the creator... everything was created through His Word.... Jesus. As is quoted in the N.T.....

If you know Hebrew, then yes, I understand why it's difficult to translate. I've always known that Adam means the red earth...as you've stated in your post 514. But this also does not mean a lot to me. As to the LIGHT, I agree. God made light, BEFORE He made the sun which supplied the light...

Agreed. I think the important part is that both are made in the image of God and that man should not be alone and needs a helpmate. It's unfortunate that ole' split hooves got himself into everything,,,including love, marriage and loving relationships. But we should make the best of it that...

LOL I know the other perspective! I didn't always know about those chapters in Romans...I must say, however, that they did give me a problem and even sounded very calvinistic - which I do not believe is correct theology from what I know about God's character. I don't think any adult can...

You're right. The CC does consider this at time (married priests) but so far the asnwer has been NO. With this Pope, things might change. It also also considered at times if only adults should be baptized. It certainly would make teaching what baptism is much easier.

What does this mean? How could he be a savior if not a believer? I don't understand what you mean from what I know from scripture.

Depends which version you use. I'll use the YLT. God made man. Genesis 1:26 God prepareth the man and woman. Genesis 1:27 God formed the man. Genesis 2:7 God made a helper. Genesis 2:18 As you must surely know....the above is almost meaningless. Unless you know a reason why it is not...

Only that it's blessed by the priest. As we understand holy,,,oil cannot be holy... actually, maybe it can be --- it is set apart for service to God.

Well good luck to me... my husband is not even saved.
