ugh.. covenanteyes.com. Then get an accountability partner. Quit asking ppl what to do b/c u already know the answer.

Just a suggestion, view the last supper in the context of the Jewish Passover. The Jews did not eat the lamb when it was still alive. They waited until the lamb was dead. Then they ate the lamb. The Passover was a type of the New Passover. If the Jews had to literally eat the lamb to...

^Bump for sure! However, if this is true, you need to confess your sins and possibly speak with an exorcist. Many near, partial, and full possessions start out with stupid acts like the one this person claims. You are free to find a protestant or Catholic exorcist to discuss if any dark...

Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, "hell"— Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek—because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God. Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the redeemer: which does not mean...

I understand, some close people of mine think the same way. Overall, she is right that just being christian is very important; but what about this visible unity thing? Why is that important? Example: "Some" protestants are okay with war against Israel b/c they believe it hastens the 2nd...

My $0.02. Poor Catholic teaching was rampant. Both sides are to blame, CC for their blatant, outrageous behavior. Protestors for reforming doctrine rather than protesting clergy behavior. Catholic reformation post Council of Trent was viewed as positive. Protestant reformation was seen as...

yep, and neither disapproved, which is the typical stance of the Church until apparition ceases. Same with Garabandal. The reason I posted, is b/c it's difficult to understand Fatima without understanding Our Lady as a whole. From the vision of Pope Leo in 1880's, to Lourdes, to Fatima...

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje said August 25, 1991: “…I invite you to renunciation for nine days so that with your help everything I wanted to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima may be fulfilled…”

Blood of ecumenism can be a powerful bond for unity. IMHO, the ecumenism of blood is sowing strong seeds of commonality in the blood of Christ, which is the seed for greater visible unity. Protestants and Catholics are still 1 Church, although imperfectly united, due to virtue of there...

The Church yearns for her unity and only her spouse can provide it. When seeking this unity, I think lay people fall into two camps... a false peaceful reconciliation (we are all 1 invisibly with no visibile unity).... and indifferentism (it doesn't matter what religion you are). Both are...

You are correct. To be specific, I said "has yet to rule"; not that they "could not rule". :priest::preach::liturgy:

Medjugorje is private revelations awaiting the Church's judgment. Because the apparitions are not over yet, the Church has yet to rule on their authenticity. In the mean time, the faithful are allowed and encouraged to follow private revelations as long as they willingly submit to the final...

What do you mean by flavor? They do have different liturgical customs. There is an Ordinariate for Angelican Catholics...most American Catholics are in the Roman Rite.

Catholic beliefs do not vary. This is because there is one truth, thus it won't vary. Catholic customs or liturgical traditions do vary from rite to rite (aka from region to region). This is because there are many ways to give praise to the one true God.

Exactly... I couldn't agree more, you just preached Catholic teaching... but I know that is the last thing you would want to hear, so for that, I am sorry.

I read all your thread posts here. I enjoyed reading them. Very interesting... It's like you are saying we need some sort of authority, that is guided by the Holy Spirit, to tell us which Books are in the Bible. This away, we can know whether or not Hebrews (unknown author) is Sacred...

Just my opinion, but God granted the early Church extra-ordinary power/spirit to get it going. Just as he grants early Christians extra-ordinary grace to jump-start their faith. God moved the Church to it's ordinary mode of operation after a period of time. Just as some Christians move...

That is not how the Catholic Church sees it.

Don't forget Mary of Medjugorje....

I believe all Apostolic Churches believe in the confession to a presbyter or an Episcopate. Apostolic Churches are: a. Catholic (united with Pope) b. Eastern Orthodox (several self-governing) c. Oriental Orthodox (5+ independent Churches)
