Of course I remember. In my day the Latin Mass was the only one available in my little town. I still remember some of the responses I made in Latin to the priests I served as altar boy. I attended the only Catholic Church and there was only one Protestant church in town. There was a Mormon...

Give God the glory for sending His Son and everything good!

Yes, indeed! When I worked for the Social Security Administration we spoke a very different language from the public we were supposed to be serving. Likely those in other fields of work or those living different life styles in spite of a common English background had their very distinct...

And what would be the point of such a debate? I am no expert on the papacy in spite of my Catholic history Are you thinking of re-converting me to Catholicism? I was water baptized Catholic at age six and it was my first clear memory of believing God. I was confirmed as a Catholic with the...

Since you write the word "catholic" without caps, it could correspond to where I am, but then again we will probably not agree on many things. If we are both still growing we might have to recheck the differences periodically. Hopefully they decreasing as we progress. As to how many were saved...

Likely it is just the splintering that caught her eye!

Do you really believe that everyone who is not Catholic is a protester against Catholicism? As two of the other Catholic yea sayers on this forum have shown, [or at least seem to believe] most of the rest of us here know little about the details of formal Catholicism, their brand or yours...

God performed miracles to prove that He was God? Did proving that to them save all of the masses of people who heard the words of Jesus and witnessed his miracles? Where they when Barabbas was released instead of Jesus? Consider how many of those who witnessed the miracles of God in Egypt...

Or even the opportunity to find some pretty colored eggs.

So long as they are favorite for the right reasons it may be OK. For example, we may say our favorite character in the four gospels is Jesus and any follower of Jesus is likely to agree. On the other hand, when we go to the OT and pick our favorites it is not likely to be anyone who made no...

Perhaps as Jesus said it he was ready to weep again because he realized that many were leaving and would not come back. They would end up with nothing good. There was no compromise in Him, but his heart was breaking because of the ones who would stay for the good sounding words and run from...

The proof, sister, is in your heart. None of us here were physically present at the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, yet we believe it because it is in our hearts. Our friend posted part of the conversation with Thomas, but did he not leave out the most important part? "Jesus saith unto...

Well don't give up hope. God is able to use even someone who only opens his door just ever so slightly.

Amen, but sometimes God speaks through some of those "yahoo" as He did through Balaam's donkey. God uses what is on hand as He see fit. Give God the glory!

I believe it was @ScottA who mentioned early on in this discussion the tower of Babel in Gen 11. God confused [confounded] the languages of men. Men were unified in the wrong cause in order to build their own way to heaven. God restarted them. This is like the Reformation. There was one formal...

That is the message Sister! The best of doctrines are indeed worthless with the wrong attitude, which means what is in the heart. When we look at a person, we need to be careful what the Spirit is saying to us. On rare occasions, Jesus spoke perhaps sharply or harshly, but he unlike most or...

"For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is...

"If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." Mark 4:23

No, I am not. I am a minister in the biblical sense of the word, which is simply a "servant". Who do I serve? Consider who it was that Jesus served when he washed his followers feet and then spoke the following words to them: "So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and...

I am glad to hear you say you believe there is more. Man standing by himself can be dangerous to himself and to anyone around him. Things happening within our society testify to that. As I said or at least inferred, I already have the answers to the right questions. But they are not...
