    Hating Christians, what's the root cause?

    Churches who are at odds with God's word can't really be called Christian in the true sense. Even in the 1st century God was already chastising the churches in the book of revelation for things like sexual immorality and lukewarmness. So communities that marry homosexual couples cannot really be...

    "The Message" bible

    What do you guys think of this bible. I downloaded an audio version of the bible and I must say Im really impressed, espesially with understanding the OT better. Its a paraphrase but I was impressed with it. I hear some people don't like and others love it. It seems like a good bible to start...

    The process of ordaining Pastors

    I agree and Im not even a Baptist. I read somewhere where they have the highest divorce rate of all the christian denominations. I always wondered why. Are Baptist women rebellious?

    Thinking of becoming Baptist

    I think if the person wants to belong to both churches he should be able to since both have gifts to offer. I believe the laying on of hands by an apostolic authority(bishop with apostolic succesion) is important as it shows in the book of Acts when people recieved the Holy Spirit by the laying...

    Do Catholics pray to Mary?

    If the book of Macbees wasn't important Jews would not Celebrat Hanukah. Secondly many prophecies in the book of Daniel are fullfilled in the book of Macabees. Lastly Jews did not have a defined canon until the 9th century. I myself wouldn't wanna base the authority of canon on a small 9th...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    Well insinuating that Mary can be the tree of life suggests that she is the source of something, which is incorrect.

    Mary as mediatrix?

    Yes this is a perfect description of the correct Catholic teaching. I really hope we can keep it at this so kisstheson dosen't leave the Church. Im worried that all this terminology is causing her to doubt the Church. I can just see posters like simonthezealot and Rick Otto coming to this thread...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    Nowhere does it say Mary is the Tree of Life in Scripture or the Church. Christ is the vine. Everything else is secondary after that.

    McCain Avoids Vietnam Vets Tough Questions

    THats the problem with the lesser of 2 evils. Dosen't the church condemn the lesser of 2 evils theory anyway? I remember (don't know if it was Pope or Bishop) saying that chosing the "lesser of 2 evils" has been the chief cause of some of the greatest evil in the world right now. If people...

    Do Catholics pray to Mary?

    And Im sure there are many who think its disgraceful for people who claim to be Catholic to vote for such a man who is so pro-abortion that is makes the Clintons look like children in comparison. Much more disgraceful than any picture

    Mary as mediatrix?

    If the RCC denied the ressurection as symbolic(which would never happen), then the eastern orthodox would have a flood of new converts coming in.

    Mary as mediatrix?

    The Church would never do that. But I don't like how people are using Pious's statements to justify something that he is not saying. Whenever the church talks about graces from Mary it is meaning her connection to Christ as being her human mother and the spiritual agony she went through when...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    There are some posts that are making incorrect statements. Christ himself gives us all the gifts, this is correct and Church teaching. But these gifts are related to Mary because of her Magnificat and her being his human mother and her blood/flesh connection to Jesus. But it only through Christ...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    That dosen't say anywhere where prayer to Mary is a required belief. Im not talking about dogma about the Immaculate conception or the Assumption. Yes there was a post somewhere that said Jesus ALWAYS goes through Mary. That is heresy. Claiming there is another mediator is heresy. Every...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    "For this reason, the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adiutrix, and Mediatrix. This however it to be so understood that it takes nothing away, or adds nothing to the dignity and efficacy of Christ the one Mediator" Devotion to Mary and the...

    Mary as mediatrix?

    I agree, littleflower, how can you say that Jesus is not the only mediator between God and man? That is totally against what the Church teaches. Mary is Mediatrix because she accepted God's plan through her to give birth to Christ. Through that graces are connected to her. But she is not another...

    Questions to Catholics about theology and history

    As Michael Voris says that we all should hear first. "The Catholic Church was created by the Son of God, and all protestant Churches, everyone of them, were created by a fallible man" Personally If you study the history of protestantism you will already know the truth about it if you really...

    Do Catholics pray to Mary?

    Yes, but the heretic reformers took that book out that says it(Macabees) But we also have the book of revelation that talks about the prayers of the saints. Martin Luther forgot to remove that one, lol(oh wait he did but his church thought that was too rash). No, you don't pray to them like...
