Agreed. Too many these days think one just has to believe (whatever that means to them) and they'll be saved forever. They don't bother with the "catch".

I agree with you on everything. Nice to see this... He was definitely not a , let's say, nice person. He did, however, write some good commentary that we could all agree on if we could forget that he believed God chose who would be saved.

Hi MM There are two ways to read the bible. One is to just read the New Testament and hear what God has to say to you. You'll find many verses that seem like they were written just for you. It's also a great way to get to know Jesus better. The other way is to study it...that would require a...

Whosoever believes what? Can I believe and not obey? Does the word believe imply obedience?

The centers seem far away from MM. Shouldn't it be close enough so that he could attend in person? A good, active church with a nice priest/pastor type that teaches the bible would be good in my opinion. (if he can't go to the Newman Center).

This is a very interesting question. If you want the closest thing to Catholicism, maybe you should just consider Catholicism? Why settle for something close to it? I do like the Nazarene church. It's simple and down to earth and doesn't have any odd teachings...I hope it's the same as I left...

No! We were discussing the Early Church Fathers. There's a collection of different volumes regarding their sayings. Someone had said that they used the word GOD for Jesus but it was really Elohim, or theos and translated to GOD. (by mistake according to the poster).

JW's are not really considered to be Christian because they do not believe Jesus is God. Catholics believe Jesus is God and are very united in their beliefs although there will be some dissension in some ways that are not major. Catholics are Christian. Protestants are also Christian because...

LOL You think an "Italian Lex" is better or someone who speaks Italian?? I just don't know if he has the books in the original language. He does read the O.T. in Hebrew and the N.T. in Greek.

Yeah! I used to use the CCC and thought it was very unclear many times... But the first 100 or so paragraphs are really great and should be read by everyone.

Every church has its own doctrine....what they believe to be true about God and how to be a Christian. The Catholic Church believes in: 1. Heaven Purgatory Hell 2. Two types of sin: Mortal and Venial Venial sins (lesser sins) are confessed to God. Mortal sins must be confessed to a priest...

Whose hands is it in? God makes the first move...He has revealed Himself to us. He desires that all men be saved. Romans 1:19-20 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes...

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder regarding the Jews. I see them as very persecuted persons. It seems to me that they do not make up the illuminati or the masons. They don't believe Jesus was the awaited Messiah...we should just be a good witness to them.

I agree with @"ByGrace" post no. 3...attend Mass a few times. Also, you have to find out the doctrine of the Catholic Church and make sure you could live with it because you'll be told that you have to accept their doctrine. I do believe that you should belong to a church; especially at your...

Well, at least one of us knows who I am! LOL

Right. It depends which one! Or Some just don't activate the dormant spirit.

Hi H I hardly go there anymore. But I'm not Sovereign Grace there....

I could contact your friends for you.
