    Questions For A Catholic

    Oh, if we got into a lot of details about a lot of things we would undoubtedly find that there are still quite a few disagreements between us. However, if you are right and I am wrong on any point, or vice versa, wouldn't we both sincerely want to be put on the Lord's side of the issue. This...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Anastacia, I am really sorry that you feel so strongly about this. Scripture really only speaks definitely about one person who never sinned, and that was, as we both, know Jesus. To assume or presume that others, even the apostle Paul, or Peter, or any of the many others mentioned favorably...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Didn't he? Are you certain that Paul was not at fault to the point of having brought about the spiritual death of Barnabas or John Mark or both? "And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Hello again! Errr... not quite! The Word of God is alive! The Bible has the potential, but until it is injected with the Spirit in a person it is dead, just another book on the shelf Since I am not a Catholic , I pay little attention to what the Pope has to say. You should read my posts...

    Questions For A Catholic

    You should read more carefully my friend, and a little prayer would help to hopfully receive enough Spirit to bring that dead scripture to Life in you. You should also be careful about lumping people together based upon which group they apparently belong to.... For your information i am not a...

    Questions For A Catholic

    Then for your benefit, Anastacia, I have inserted scriptural references throughout my post! Amen! "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Amen! And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld...

    Questions For A Catholic

    So then who is it that does have the Truth? When Pilate asked, "What is truth", he didn't realize that Truth itself stood before him. How much does each of us have of Jesus? Then again just exactly what is Jesus? Is He not the Word made flesh? So then is not the Word of God the flesh of Jesus...

    Disrespect

    Consider when making your decision as to whether a lack of capitalization for certain designations, titles or names of God and His Son, is disrespectful, the usages common to other languages. Someone has already mentioned that in Hebrew, there are no capital letters. Consider then the situation...

    An Observation.......

    Yes, indeed, God is involved in our lives long before we are aware of Him or really care about Him. When we receive and accept His call for the first time, He begins to open our eyes and our ears to what "thus saith the Lord". Then if we are sincere in our desire to please Him, we will learn to...

    An Observation.......

    Believe me ,my friend, the world is, or should be our enemy. To say otherwise, is to set aside a large portion of the NT [New Testament]. Your concern with people who have a personal problem with how they believe they are mistreated is not really a Christian only one, but a people, in general...

    A Christian: A Temple Of God Where No Sin Exists.

    All of us here supposedly being followers of Christ in some measure should be seeing His face daily in some measure. Maybe the key word some of you openly doubting not only the words that Thankful writes here, but also the very scriptures themselves, are searching for is "becoming". If we are...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    If a person's interpretation of scripture is wrong, then, to the extent that it is wrong, it is not the Word of God! The Word of God is never wrong. The problem that many people have is that they designate the scripture itself as the Word of God. The Word is alive! The written words of scripture...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    Look at the wording of the verse you mentioned! 'For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Rom 3:23 Yes, all of us have sinned, but this does not mean that we must continue sinning for the rest of our natural lives! If that were the case, then Jesus was lying to us! "When his...

    Do You Have To Be Sinless?

    And what then does Jesus mean here? Mt7:7 Are only the apostles able to "ask and receive"? Was James in his letter to the 12 scattered tribes also then speaking only to the apostles when he said: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and...

    Why Did Jesus Christ Speak Ini Parables?

    Is not the Bible, itself, in a sense a parable? Who can understand it, but God alone? So we have the message given in an unknown tongue [the entire written Bible] and then by the Holy Ghost in a man the interpretation is given! "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you...

    I'm Declining My Own Victory

    Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto you!" The "all of these things' includes everything that we need according to God! So seek earnestly those two things in prayer. If you don't know exactly what the "kingdom of God" is...

    Submit And Proceed

    Yes, as James wrote, we must submit, but if we cannot, it is not the fault of the Holy Ghost within, but it is that the "old man" is still alive and well and we really do want to go the way of the "old man" . So what do we do, just try harder? How about instead, asking for help? Lord I don't...

    Muslims Can't Handle It ... Can You?

    Thank you! I have heard that explanation before, but seriously doubt it!

    All Things

    I would say that the all includes everything, but we must remember that God does not lie, so if He has said something else previously that would contradict this, to the extent that it would contradict, there are limitations. Consider Ps 78:41 [ KJV =."Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and...
