E, I don't know what you mean by the above. Could you narrow it down to 25 words or less? Really, I don't know what you're talking about. I have catholic bibles in two languages and you can't tell me they're different. More than one version too, in both languages. There are an additional 7...

I'm sorry to say A, that anyone can be an altar boy and they do not learn more than any other child their age. In the church where I attend Mass at times, they don't even know what they're supposed to do and are directed by the Deacon. When I was a catechist, one of the least knowledgeable...

Didn't Jesus give Peter the keys to the Kingdom? Mathew 16:19 The keys signify authority. This is a nice story about how a key has authority: King David's Keys - rodnajohn

You were an altar boy and think the catholic church uses a different bible? What does 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 mean?

P.S. You think there would be outcry if priests were allowed to be married? WHO do you think would care? NOBODY. Except the church....how would Rome financially support a whole family! We don't have laity complaining about the EUCHARIST.... we have BISHOPS and priests complaining about this...

I agree with post no. 536 I've never studied this verse so deeply and the reason why I wouldn't is precisely because we can't be certain of the exact wording of the conversation or even of the situation at hand. John is making a point.... I do believe this is all we can know for sure.

Hi G,,, Just to let you know that I didn't post any of the above.... mistake!

Catholics have a different bible? Could you quote the title and editor please? I have a lot of catholic bibles in my small library and they're EXACTLY the same as the Protestant bibles except that they have an additional 7 books in the O.T. And could you list some things they do that are not...

Why do you stoop so low? What a terrible comment to make. As I've always said...you're a terrible example of catholicism. I just hope everyone here is intelligent enough to realize not all catholics are like you.

Listen BoL There has been an UPROAR by Catholic Bishops over this....if I need to post google pages I will,,, Conservatives want Catholic bishops to denounce pope as heretic - Reuters Once again, bishops around the world differ on 'Amoris' You know very well what an outcry there was over this...

Yeah. I guess something is better than nothing.

I agree with all you've said. I just want to say that we must forgive others even if they don't ask to be forgiven. forgiving is as much to our benefit as it is to theirs. So, yes, if we are lawless, we are NOT disciples of Jesus. And He and John said if we sin to confess our sin. Great point...

I don't know if it's because I was Catholic and right now all my friends are catholic, and I know some priests, but I just don't get it. There must be something I'm missing that others see. Maybe I'm too close to the trees. Maybe it's because I see how dedicated SOME priests are and how...

Have you ever told me what YOU believe before asking me something? No? Thought I'd shorten the discussion. Fact is, you don't have an answer. Jesus DID NOT even mention salvation. So your posts regarding this are invalid.

Hi G, Being a son of God and having the NATURE of God are totally different. We have the nature of a human being...not of God. And I think I owe you a post but I can't remember! Let me ask you this: If Jesus is not God in nature...is His death still valid as an atonement?

Could you show us WHERE in Mathew 7:13-23 Jesus even MENTIONS the word saved, or salvation, or relationship, or any of those thoughts in your post. HE DOES NOT. He is speaking about LAWLESSNESS. Those who practice LAWLESSNESS are not getting into heaven. Revelation 21:27

You have the correct interpretation. But those believing in OSAS will not agree with you... even though JESUS said this.

Hi Nancy, This is also for @Davy ... What Jesus was talking about in Mathew 7:23 is stated very clearly by Him and there not need be any interpretation of that verse. 23AND THEN I WILL DECLARE TO THEM...I NEVER KNEW YOU, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS. Those who are without any LAW will not be...

PJ,,, There's nothing wrong in what you believe...it has nothing to do with salvation economy so I won't concern myself too much with it. I'll tell you, however, why I even replied to your ideas. I find that many catholics, of which I used to be one, will advance teachings which are not really...
