I think the key to politics is choosing the lesser of two evils. While George Bush sent us to war, most Republicans are actually against the war now, but only back the President when they thought there were WMDs there. In the end, we have to look at scripture and way the pros and cons and see...

So I guess the issue comes down to this: Is Leviticus 19:28 a moral, civil or ceremonial law?

How did you decide what is moral, ceremonial or civil? Where did you get these definitions from?

Where did you get this? What scripture points to these distinctions?

Many say that OT law can be broken up into the three categories of moral, civil and ceremonial laws. Is this the correct way of breaking up the OT law to see what applies to us today? If so, how do we decide what is moral, civil or ceremonial?

So I have a friend who is considering getting a tattoo. I encouraged her not to get one, and also showed her this article. What do you guys think about this subject and the article I sent her? Yay or nay to tattoos?

And how does listening to a prophet prevent us from seeing what God gives us and having patience? The spiritual gift that is the most important one is the gift of prophesy, why not benefit from it? Prophets help to see sometimes when we have strayed from the path and we are not truly listening...

So God no longer speaks through prophets? The gift of prophesy has ceased to exist? I'm not saying that someone can add to the Bible, but isn't it entirely possible for God to speak through someone to you about your future?

Exactly how do we do this? Many when talking about the grey areas of Christianity say "Can you glorify God with this action?" as a way of figuring out whether what you are doing is wrong or not. Ok then, how does watching TV glorify God if you are not watching a sermon? Or how does watching the...

Ok, I know the difference, but how do we as believers tell the difference between the two in today's society?

This question just popped into my mind: If you reap what you sow, then how can those who sow in tears reap in joy? :scratch:

I've now heard everything. I can actually pray to you. I guess you learn something new everyday :confused: I can be assured? Why? Can you show me some proof showing me that she would never drop my prayers? I'm trying to understand why I should think the saints are mighty prayer warriors. I...

Really, its both? So if I pray to you, that's a prayer to God? If not, then why are you any different from Mary? Why is she more special than you?

Can someone explain these Catechism quotes to me? This twofold movement of prayer to Mary has found a privileged expression in the Ave Maria” (Catechism 2676) "Mary is the perfect Orans prayer, a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the...

No, you will have to explain further why you feel this way. I have never said that being attractive is a sin. Never have, never will! Not at all. If I told you "The love of money is the root of all evil" over and over again, would that be implying that you love money too much? Or could it be...

I never have said it is a sin and I never will. Please read my posts in the past. I'm simply saying that its possible to look attractive whilst not showing cleavage and every curve on your body. You are right, I have a lot to learn, as do we all. Its all about spiritual maturation, which is...

I never said that women have to dress exactly how the women of the Bible days did. What I'm saying is that it should resemble how they dressed back then, which is loose modest clothing, not tight clothing showing skin. I never said that people have to go back to wearing a tunic, and 3 other...

Don't say that, never wish that on someone. Just pray for her.

Why does it matter so much? For the fact that we have a relationship with God! Why does any sin matter? Because we love him so much! Christianity is so "backwards" compared to other religions. Every other religion is based on works, Christianity is based on faith. On that very relationship you...

Is this post sarcastic or not? I hope this is a sarcastic post, if not, I'm not too sure about you... lol No. Tight jeans aren't for me. No. Not completely together, that's physically difficult for a man, if you know what I mean. Well maybe you don't, I don't know. But I don't sit with...
