    The Catholic Church

    Well, I appreciate that. Disagreement is okay, as it can lead to discussion and understanding. Taking shots is something that does unfortunately happen in forums though. Taking shots is best left to politicians, not us Christians. Just as a side note: Belief in Fatima is not a Church teaching...

    The Catholic Church

    Ahh, that is very interesting. Thank you for the reply. What do you know about the "Taditional Anglicans"? I spoke to one once that says they stricty adhere to the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church. I think they are a smaller group seeking full complete communion with Rome. I take it you...

    The Catholic Church

    Jesus said his Church would be "the light of the world." He then noted that "a city set on a hill cannot be hid" (Matt. 5:14). This means his Church is a visible organization. It must have characteristics that clearly identify it and that distinguish it from other churches. Jesus promised, "I...

    Roman Catholicism Is Blasphemy

    What a ridiculous thread. Who wrote most of the New Testament: Paul did. Was he married? No. In fact, he said it is better to not marry so that your loyalties would not be divided. . Fundamentalist attacks on priestly celibacy come in a number of different forms—not all compatible with one...

    Was Peter thr Rock that the Church was built upon?

    Peter and the Papacy There is ample evidence in the New Testament that Peter was first in authority among the apostles. Whenever they were named, Peter headed the list (Matt. 10:1-4, Mark 3:16-19, Luke 6:14-16, Acts 1:13); sometimes the apostles were referred to as "Peter and those who were...

    How sure to be saved?

    Some people promote a very attractive idea: All true Christians, regardless of how they live, have an absolute assurance of salvation, once they accept Jesus into their hearts as "their personal Lord and Savior." The problem is that this belief is contrary to the Bible & constant Christian...

    Salvation depends on

    (kriss;40418) ....What we do not recognize as the Word of God are Books outside the Bible though they are great second witness' or can often shed more light on a subject. I agree. Only the 72 inspired books of the Bible are true scripture.

    Ask a catholic

    Much has been said about the Pope. We all know the scripture by heart by now: "...Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I...

    Salvation depends on

    (haanne;40394) We can get un-saved because we arent saved until the day comes. When we find Jesus we have the promise of salvation...... Well put. Very true.

    Shroud of Turin

    (Letsgofishing;40379) ....What I cannot say is that catholicism is not without its faults. And I cannot ignore or deny thoughs faults..... Faults, yes. We are human. Errors in doctrine? No. Impossible. The Holy Spirit does not allow it.Still: If I offended, I apologize.

    Shroud of Turin

    (DrBubbaLove;40318) am not getting your point. Do you think the man as pictured on the shroud above is attractive? From what little detail it gives, looks pretty plain/ordinary and Jewish to me. I don't think there is a point, except to be "anti-" whatever that may have a hint of Catholicism in it

    Salvation depends on

    (Beano;40059) I found this statement of salvation and was wondering what people thought of it."We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ."I agree that we should be continually obedient in faith to Christ but I don't actually agree with...

    Human Leaders

    Hebrews 13:17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.As for Church leaders, the Church is hierarchical. In the Bible we see:Deacon (greek -...

    What do we have to say about the rapture?

    (Wakka;39770) Most importantly, what do we have to say about 1 Thessalonians 4:17?1 Thessalonians 4:17Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. In my opinion, I agree with...

    Evidence of the Trinity

    God is ONE: One being, three persons. A human is one being and one person: A cat or dog is one being and NO persons: God is one being and THREE persons. We can not FULLY understand the Trinity, but the scripures are pretty plain that God IS Trinity:Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the...

    Thoughts and Musings and Ideas on Evangelism

    Its funny how words distort throughout time. In Latin, when we say "The beginning of the holy Gospel according to St. John" during Mass for example, it goes "Inítium sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem", the word "Evangélii" being "Gospel" n English.Since we have being saying this for 2000 years...
