    Another Salvation Issue Thread

    The unforgivable sin is the one in which a person refuses to repent. It sounds to me like you want forgiveness and you do not want to ignore the promptings of the Holy Spirit. The only sins we can not be forgiven is the ones we refuse to repent...there is no sin too big for God to forgive. God...

    Her Body, Her Choice: Woman on Trial for Terminating 6 Pregnancies

    Did you even read what I said? The OT laws were fulfilled in Jesus, and no it doesn't defeat the point in having a Bible if you take the Bible as a whole instead of picking out verses to throw at people. When read in context, it makes perfect sense.

    A stillborn refers to a child that has died while in the womb...I am confused by your question since that does not equate to intentionally removing a living child from the womb.

    Speaking of childishness, your ad hominem attack doesn't appeal to me. You don't know anything about me, my experiences, or what has lead to my beliefs. Everyone is influenced by their environment and the knowledge that we acquire in life comes from many sources including books, teachers...

    I try to the best of my ability to follow Jesus. Jesus came to fulfill the law...we no longer follow the laws of Moses as they did in the Old Testament...we follow the laws of Christ. Jesus Himself is the ultimate sacrifice.

    Killing an innocent child is nothing but selfishness.... "It is a poverty that a child must die so that you can live as you wish." Mother Teresa

    Understanding Pro-lifers

    Like I stated before in a previous post, the Bible does not explicitly state when ensoulment takes place...and again, the Bible does not contain every Truth, yet all that it contains is true. Jesus left us with the Church to look to for matters of faith and morals. It is the Church that teaches...

    We are called by God to admonish the sinner, and to instruct the ignorant. It is not judging, it is correcting. Tell me why someone would claim to be a Christian and yet not follow Christian doctrine?

    The gift of tongues

    I have attended a Latin Mass before, but normally attend the Norvus Ordo. I am a convert to the Catholic Church but I grew up as a Pentecostal with my grandfather as my pastor and now my uncle is the pastor at that church. I have witnessed speaking in tongues many many times and yet I have never...

    Understanding Pro-lifers

    The Scriptures themselves were written down by men inspired by God. The Church in its 2000 year history has been the sole interpreter of Scripture and from Sacred Tradition, the Church has concretely held for 2000 years that abortion is intrinsically evil. See my example below; if you'd like I...

    It may be legal but it shouldn't be. There are many laws that have been passed that allow people to do things that are against the laws of God. As Christians we should not support these laws and we should do what is in our power to try to change them. In abortion, you are intending on...

    Understanding Pro-lifers

    First I would like to say that I believe that everything stated in the Bible is Truth, yet not all Truth is stated within the Bible. I don't believe there is a verse in the Bible that explicitly states when ensoulment takes place. But, there are verses that can support the belief that ensoulment...

    You are right, I can't... But that isn't going to stop me from standing up for the lives of the unborn who cannot stand up for themselves. The problem is you and others do not believe it is a person and doesn't deserve rights...yet that can not be proven anymore than I can adequately...

    So its ok to murder someone since they have a soul that is eternal? If an egg does not implant that is not murder, but it is a natural consequence, just as the natural death of anyone at any stage of life... Abortion is intentionally killing an innocent person, it is murder.

    From:Bibliography 2270 Catechism of the Catholic Church; Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his or her existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right...

    When your decisions or "personal life" causes the death of an innocent person, someone has to stand up for that innocent person... You are assuming it is only a blob of cells and not another human being. It is something that can not be proven either way. As for me, I believe it is a human...

    Abortion is not allowed by the Catholic Church. If a woman's life is in immediate danger and a fetus/embryo has to be removed to save her life. The intention is not to kill the child but to save the life of the mother.

    Oh well...murder is murder. If it was illegal and people were put in prison, many women would think twice about doing it and would probably think twice about having sex outside of marriage for that matter. It only makes sense that a lot less would occur. Yes there are probably some that would...

    Well, if there was reason to believe that a woman self-inflicted her abortion then so be it. Just as if there was suspicion when anyone dies that they had been murdered. If abortion was illegal and punishable by law then you have to admit there would not be as many taking place.
