Sometimes a person cannot go to church because of abuse and the memories will never go away. And so they seek and find God elsewhere. While I will not confine this to the catholic church, it is just that these 2 stories are connected to the CC 1; as a child I had a neighbor who had the...

How do we know God isn't Jewish? I am serious. All that is called "jewish", from the language to the Law to the Temple to the Ark are designs dictated by God and patterned after that which is in Heaven.

The first glimpse we get of evil comes from Lucifer, when all fall before their God, except him, rising up in rebellion. This was possible only through free will, a gift from God. So within this gift of free will comes the potential for evil Then we have the Garden, heaven on Earth. Within...

I think it was possible that the Pope was trying to get his people away from imagining "God" as some giant person sitting on a Throne ( think Zeus) holding a magic wand; a rather pagan portrait, no? Having said that, it is permitted , even encouraged, within the catholic church , to deny the...

So be it, then. Without ill will towards you, I must say, from personal experience, I find it difficult to sit in a church next to someone in a different denominational church wondering if they ever doubted my Christianity. I am and always was a Christian, even though through the years I found...

My favorite are long hair dachshunds. I mean how could you not just laugh at them. really, mine is nearly all black with a bit of tan on his chin. he has no legs at all and is very long. And his beautiful hair- it is hair not fur- is to the ground, Nothing to brag about if you are only six...

God's ways are not our ways. No? I would like to go back to the Garden for a moment. Death entered the world by the Hand of God because it was necessary. He killed an animal to provide meat and clothing to Adam and Eve because they had to be sent away. Fast forward to the Cross. Death again...

Well, I can most certainly and wonderfully agree with you that the Holy Spirit does indeed dwell within us. Meanwhile I am thankful that all the disagreement over a third temple is not a cause that counts for salvation. Interesting to me is that so many very learned and very deep Christians...

I guess you missed the point that I was saying not to unite for the adaptations of bad doctrines. I was saying that in a singular unit, we can declare the Jesus is Lord. But, not all folks are willing to call some people who attend certain churches "Christians" because they abhor some of their...

The New Covenant did not replace and do away with the Abrahamic Covenant. God still has a purpose for the Jews; in particular during the Tribulation. Some, but not all , have been blinded until the proper time. Then, and only then, the scales shall fall from their eyes and they shall see Him...

That is, by far, the very best and most common sense explanation I have ever heard.

John , in Revelation, brought by the Spirit, to the Temple Mount and told to measure for the Temple but not to include the outer court as that has been given over to the gentiles. The gentiles were always allowed in the outer court. Today, those gentiles are the moslems( of course so are we)...

We, as Christians, are all going to be very wrong on certain points in Scripture. And there will always be pretenders in Christ. I will let God decide if these two are pretenders. We can disagree and yet love each other as Jesus wants. We can declare with each other, in prayer, putting aside...

I think what you are hearing about is misinformed. What has been talked about lately are the prophecies of a 13th century Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel. His prophecies seemed to have been true and there is yet one to happen, coming soon in 2017. There are several good links , easy to google. A good...

With apologies and no ill will towards any of the good and faithful Catholics here, I would have the doctrine of "purgatory" be done away with. There is heaven and there is hell. There is no place called purgatory in Scripture. All doctrine concerning Mary as co-redemptrix. Jesus is the one...

The wonderful thing about Heaven is that God refuses to remember our sins, they will be buried in the Sea of Forgetfullness, never to be remembered anymore. yet, comes the Judgement, the Berma Seat of Jesus Christ. He will show us our lives, all that we could have been, but weren't. All that...

How can anyone claim this authority? While I am certainly no scholar by any means, it seems that "authority" over certain things , was given to individuals as described in Scripture. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't recall where it says that someday the Holy Spirit will give authority to some...

Is it not possible that for some Christians, a public act within a church service of humility-as you put it- is not necessary. For they are, in a continuous way, searching within themselves for all they have done or failed to do, that is sin. Therefore, they are ready to partake Holy Communion...
