Hi Mary, I asked you for a specific reason if you're Catholic. I try to be careful as to what I say and to whom. Since you're attending RCIA right now, you have enough on your hands. I find that this Pope is very pastoral-like as where Pope Benedict was a real theologian and thus was much...

You know what Peter said about Paul's writings: 2 Peter 3:16 New International Version He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other...

You're not aware of them because the Nazarene church is the purest church I've run across. Unfortunately there is none near me. Loss of salvation is biblical. But only if one abandons God. You need God to be saved, if you leave God, you're not saved and protected by Him anymore.

Do I what? Instead of assuming I disagree with Paul, why don't you ask? Where did I say I disagree with him??? Paul is misquoted many times and pitted against Jesus, when in reality they agree with each other. Why would Jesus tell Paul to say and write in letters concepts Jesus does not agree...

Just got here. I attended a Nazarene church for many years. What heretical teaching do you believe THEY have?

Yes. And finally I understand why! It's because Paul is so misquoted that the only refuge is to go to Jesus only. Sometimes I think Paul hung on that cross. Aside from the fact that his sayings are so difficult at times and they are taken to mean what one wants them to mean.

I just read the O.P. You're very brave to take on so many wrong statements! One should know every denomination before making such silly statements about the CC or any other church. Good luck! I haven't been following along...

:D

KBC I don't know anyone who NEVER sins. I know some who sin very little. Like some monks I know. A Franciscan and some priests I know sin just like we do. All men sin. I do agree that our sin nature becomes submitted to God after knowing Jesus and I'd assume that it's basically because we hate...

What you've stated is unfair. It is NOT what KBC is saying. YOU are speaking as though the sinner does not know God, and KBC is speaking as one who does know God. One is born again and then endeavers to make the sin nature to submit to God's will with the help of the Holy Spirit. You make it...

Perfectly said. The only comment I have to make is that the way you word the "choosing" part does sound calvinistic. God has already chosen everyone in the sense that HE would like everyone to be saved, but not everyone will choose to be saved. John 3:16 So the right way to say it would be...

Try reading Amoris Laetitea by Pope Francis, written about 2 years ago. Especially chapter 8 and the footnote. If you haven't read it yet, it's a small book Here's chapter 8 from the internet. It's good enough. I asked if you're Catholic because I'd like to know if you know any priests that...

Do you know when Jesus was born? And do you do ONLY what Jesus mentioned we should do? (I hope you don't watch TV, or swim, or go to concerts, or...)

It's on topic !!

I usually don't ask this MM, but are you Catholic? If the answer is yes, are you involved with the church in a personal way? I ask because I can hardly believe what you've posted. I will answer accordingly after I know where you stand. If you prefer not to answer, that's fine too.

Hi bb I was working from memory, but, yes, there's a lot to this story. One of my favorites. I got this from Prof. Google: Question: What's important about the title of 'Lord of the Flies'? Why did William Golding entitle the novel 'Lord of the Flies'? What does the title stand for? What...

KBC, You do well to read and understand what the Holy Spirit wishes you to know. I'd like to add to the above that God did not hate Esau. Hate in the O.T. means that God loved less, or that He did not choose that person for a special task. NOT that God hated Esau. Does God hate anyone? Does...

Hi KBC I also agree with @ByGrace that God, throughout history, most probably chose certain persons to do very special tasks, for instance, Moses. As to Calvin. He believed that God chooses those who will be saved and those who will not be saved. You could look this up someday, it's very...

bb All of us are oppressed. Want to see a good movie? Cloud Atlas.

I agree with all you've said except that the word "chosen" does bother me. Are you saying God chooses us? Do we have anything to say about it? Just so you know, I don't like any concept connected to calvinism.
