This has always bothered me... So how come we don't all believe the same?

Not all bishops are good bishops. And, yes, they will be called to a higher account. James 3:1

There never was such a place as limbo. It was supposed to be for babies that died and were not baptized. This was not, however, an official church teaching...some started this idea and the church just let it ride. This is also wrong...the po' ignorant folk should have been corrected...

Actually, BoL, it's not a lie. Why are Masses said for dead people? Why are these Masses paid for? Let's be honest --- You can't pray for those in hell --- there's no hope for them. You can't pray for those in heaven --- there's no need. You pray for people in purgatory so they could get out...

I don't read hate in @Rollo Tamasi 's replies. He's just answering to your posts which ARE, if we want to be honest, not very loving. We've spoken about this before and I'm not going to change you. Can't you just CORRECT what is being said wrongly, instead of insulting people?

This is not right BoL. It's the CHURCH's responsibility to inform their congregation. The CC is still doing this today... Many spend an hour at Mass and learn NOTHING! This is wrong. It should not be up to me to search all over for a bible study class where I could learn something. The CHURCH...

@Marymog is asking good questions. If there is only ONE Holy Spirit, WHY are there so many different beliefs withing the same Christianity? This is a valid question. Also, I'd like to ask you... What came first: The church or the scriptures? (I mean the N.T.).

You're right Grams. I remember this too. If we just did everything right, we'd go to heaven. Of course, the priests believed in Jesus but they felt it was too difficult to explain, maybe. This denied us a beautiful relationship with Jesus AND the POWER to overcome sin, which is why...

Nancy, I'm not sure about purgatory, but the deuderocanonical catholic books, like Macabees, for instance, show that the dead can be prayed to.

You know of a church that worships images?? Which is it for goodness sakes!! I'd like you to know that most of Christianity worships on Sunday. This could be changed back to Saturday, but apparently, most believe Jesus changed this day by being resurrected on Sunday, The Lord's Day, and the...

Agree 100% Great post N. I've tried to tell @BreadOfLife these same ideas but he's too bent on correcting at all costs... Sad thing is that he's right on all things Catholic. A little softer tone would be nice. Maybe he's just tired of being accused of so much falsehood?? I mean the CC.

The New Covenant, of course. But what has that to do with anything? I'm losing track of these posts. Do you think the CC does not believe in the New Covenant?

We all need grace. Whatever we do, we do with God's grace. In the O.T. men were righteous of themselves. It's in the N.T. that we are imputed with the righteousness of Christ. Psalm 1:5-6 Isaiah 26:7 Hosea 14:9 Abraham was righteous through belief: Genesis 15:6 To David through obedience...

Except that to Calvinists "All that the Father giveth Me" means that God decides who will and will not be given to Christ, IOW, saved. I can't give up protesting against calvinism. It changes the nature of God. The nature of God is love. They claim God is love and gives man His grace, but then...

I'm good with all of the above. I also remind you of Jeremiah 31:34 However, I do have to say that it is good to be taught by men who know more than we do....like a good pastor or preacher or theologian, for instance. They do bring to mind things that we may not have gathered on our own.

I replied yes. And I explained why. If I tell you not to enter my home at night or I'll shoot you, and you enter my home at night and I shoot you, is this love? Of course...I DID warn you! If you enter my home at night and I never warned you....that is not love. Noah was a righteous man and...

Agreed.

I understand it and agree with it 100%.

Which commandment am I not keeping??
