You are wrong. I think you dont know enough about Bible and Christianity. Few Christians say that Bible is true because it says so itself. People know Bible is true because the Holy Spirit of God shows them Bible is true when they read it and ask to understand it.

I once heard there was an incident when the Japanese caught the missionaries who came there to convert and they crucified them on crosses. It was like in 1600s or something. Can someone refer me to more information? Thanks

I know they had "bad" marriages. Thats not hte point. Point is they were able to have kids and live with their wives. Because they were unhappy is irrelevant.

I am a college student at UC Berkeley and I face people hostile to Christianity all the time. It is really painful to hear what hurtful things people have to say. BUT, there also exists a community of Christians who are supportive and nice and they're there. Here are some thoughts for you to...

Dragoon, you also haven't answered when I asked who do you think is putting these traditions you refer to the same importance as Scriptures. I serioulsy think you have the wrong idea of Catholic/Orthodox traditions and their role in those churches. There are many traditions in various...

I hate smallville because it destroys the image of Superman as a morally upright and good man because he has sex with Lana before marriage.

I watched him on tv and he appears better than most "preachers" I see on tv who are lots of air and little substance.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Who is putting the Traditions to the same value as Scriptures? Give example. Burning people at the stake is not a Catholic or Orthodox tradition. It was done by Lutherans in Germany as well because, they, just like Catholics had to go in line with what...

I used to be of the same opinion as you are about traditions. I thought that it was kinda ridiculous to adhere to soem arbitratrary traditions, but then I found out I was wrong to categorize many Catholic or Orthodox practices into "traditions" many of them have basis in the Bible. the countries...

I haven't nor am I intending to watch this crap. BUT, I read in the synopsis that one of the cowboys has a family and kids. So, this means that this movie portrays a CORRECT message, which is that gay people are able to lead normal lives and have wives but choose to stray.

I totally agree that so far, from commercials and the synopsis, this is a movie that portrays Christianity in a bad light and blasphemes in specific doctrines. I am sure some people will say that this just another more compassionate version of Christianity etc etc. But I dont agree. ON THE...

I mean, can they hear me if I speak to them? Or maybe peek into mind, yes? Because if the Saints are deceased from this world and they can hear me, does this apply to non-Saint people?

I am not a Catholic but I am not anti-Catholic either. I have a question about Catholic theology. I know that as a Catholic or Eastern Orthodox Christians can pray to individuals who have earned title of a saint. Does that imply that my deceased relatives can hear or see me as individual minds...

In Deuteronomy it says that the poor and afflicted and hungry will always exist in the land and that we are supposed to elevate them. I am pretty sure its Deuteronomy. In New Testament Jesus helps poor people and he said to a man that he should sell his stuff and give it to the poor to get into...

Thanks for those great passages Norsk and others. This answers my question completely. (don't worry,I wasn't ever thinking of taking those drugs but I know friends who did)

Don't let your spirits down. There are people who are gifted with various talents from God. Some have better conversational, oratory, and personality talents than others. Some people can witness easily in some ways, other people can witness in other ways. If you feel doing a certain...

I was thinking and I realized that there are medications such as some anti-depressants that slow down or greatly diminish sexual drive (libido) of those who take it. It is the libido that drives many individuals to indulge in sinful and immoral behavior. It seems that if those pills are taken...

The church's website is www.calnewman.org as to their "lgbt" center they say "they welcome students of all faiths to reconcile with their sexuality etc"

Hi people. I am not a Catholic but I enjoy going to Catholic service sometimes. The church that is near me is of Newman order and they are extremely liberal in what the church is involved with (having an LGBT center and condoning the lifestyle) I would like to find a more conservative church...
