Certainly! There sometimes may be some difficulty in defining the difference.

Below is a quotation taken directly from the Catholic Answers forum as per the link @bbyrd009 supplied. What is says is all that I said. Bible reading was discouraged where I was. Who was I as a young boy to say that my priests and nuns were in error? What should I have done, write to the Pope...

@GodsGrace A dog is one type of beast. All of us were born beasts or people with beastly natures. "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts." Ecc 3:18 All of us as believers and...

In spite of the doubts we must move on as if we knew. Consider: "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not...

So then perhaps our problem is still the result of the confusion of languages at Babel. Communication or the lack thereof?

I wonder if the number of such places are not on the increase, but I suppose it would be difficult to gather evidence to that effect.

Yes, I was in forums a long time before I knew Mike at all. I believe my first forum connection was made in the late 1990's or around the year 2000. Most of the of people I knew well in those early days have left the scene completely. That is to say they stopped frequenting forums and some of...

Absolutely, and some cops used to [still do?] pull you over for going too slow when your inhibited the regular flow of traffic even if you were going right at the speed limit. Hmmm?

That was youth? Well it was several years ago, so I guess it was. Give God the glory for keeping us on His side.

Yes, I remember when my wife's youngest brother was murdered in East Palo Alto, CA. When we went to the police station to try to find out what was happening, we were told that we would probably never know, because the police did not at the time make any routine patrols in that area at all...

Ah yes, my wife gets after me for that. When the speed limit is posted at 65MPH I have set my cruise control or my foot so that I do not exceed that by even 1MPH. She favors the idea that most cops won't pull you over if you don't exceed it by more than 5MPH and wants to go that much over the...

And I am here also, Cathey, although my memory of all my friends on past forums is flawed. Mike had several forums, and I get them confused... never mind all of the individuals who were involved. May God bless you and while we are at it, let us bless our old friend Mike as well. My name is John...

From where I am sitting, I see no real difference. You have made what for me is a presumption as to what the Church is and what it is not. That is, I believe, your personal presumption.

Has man really changed at all if God has not done the changing? I used to welcome the Mormons and the JWs to my home and had I believe success with the former. The latter were usually older folk and already more set in their ways.

Did Jesus waste his time teaching and preaching to the multitude of Jews who at least superficially were believers? Did any of them end up following Him and His Way as a result of His Word?

Only those elevated to such high places by God will be there. However, making such comparisons as you suggest is not a wise thing to do: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and...

Twinc, you will probably agree that ultimately we only have two choices: our own way or God's Way. The details don't matter so much so long as we really have chosen and continue to choose the latter instead of the former.

I would see the fire as two different manifestations really from the same source. Indeed as it is written: "For our God is a consuming fire." Heb 12:29 But, does God only burn things up? God has both His blessings and His curses already spoken and... "So shall my word be that goeth forth out...

Quite often he follows closely the way things were, or were supposed to be, in Catholicism prior to Vatican II. Vatican II certainly caused another split in their own ranks, but probably most Catholics really did not care one way or the other in ways that really matter to God. The official RCC...

I wasn't speaking to you, but you seem to believe you know more than others here so I will respond anyway: We all need to subscribe to the following and go that way: "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden...
