I paraphrased this, but now can't find the source. Can anyone help? God says are there other gods? No, none that I know of before or after me. I'm sorry if I butchered the original reference.

"...."For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opeend, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." [Genesis 3:5]" While I only skimmed the answers, I didn't see the correct one at all. God is saying that by eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve would...

In my travels, I was told by a non-Christian that Jesus said he wasn't going to a fair or festival, and then went anyway, making him a liar. This doesn't ring a bell at all (I also don't know where it is) and I know there's an explanation. Did he deliberately misinterpret the text?

"The reason that Protestants do not believe in cleansing of sin after death comes from a peculiar doctrine which was made up during the Reformation. This doctrine had never existed in the Church prior to 1517. It is called "forensic justification" and the scripture references that are given for...

Sorry, that was a typo. My mind works a lot faster than my hands and I try to correct all of my mistakes, but they creep in on occasion. Thanks for the correction.

No, it's not; they use the clause '...in this generation...' as their standard for 'proof' that if one is wrong, both are wrong.

Cite your independent, non-Catholic sources, please.

I agree with that in that the Catholic Church is strict about the way it requires ceremonies and how it performs said ceremonies. Catholic dogma is that it's their way or the highway, no middle ground. It's all so mindless and repetitive that God couldn't possibly want us to be bored out of our...

There's not? I sat, stood, and knelt my way through 14 years of attending Catholic Church and three years of Catholic school. You apparently misunderstand the meaning of the term. The legalism is very apparent in the stations of the cross, Lent, Advent, the rosary, etc noe of which have a...

"This phrase has always been misinterpreted. "Extra ecclesia nulla salus" literally means "Outside the Church there is no salvation." When taken out of context, it sounds very arrogant, patronizing, and sectarion. The phrasee does NOT mean that only Catholics can go to heaven, nor does it mean...

Here's something you might find funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU87hIbbAWU

I call BS on your responses because they're not even your opinions, but come straight from Catholic catechism 1 What makes you think that this refers to the office of Pope?2 There's no indication of the office of savior and apostles being needed all through time. Since Jesus told Peter that he...

Thank you for the support. Again, I feel I'm doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing and feel that it's of God in order to dispel the lies and nonsense about Him. Mormons say that they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, but there are a lot of amendments, loopholes, and endless...

Is there any version that eliminates the fact that Jesus had brothers and sisters? Mark 6:3 makes it clear he did and Matthew 1:25 states that he was the firstborn, obviously meaning that there were siblings to follow. I grew up Catholic and know that the church denies this and claims that those...

Someone asked me a question that I didn't have an answer to and couldn't find in my Bible dictionary. Was the savior foretold as being of Nazareth in the OT? If so, where? Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Nomad. These are the best explanations I've gotten thus far on these matters and exactly what I was looking for. You rock!

That's fine, but I feel like this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. I understand them (in spite of their repeated accusations to the opposite) and speak their language. Most really are good people who have a distinctly incorrect notion of God. The only exception to this is the group such...
