hope I did not miss the party. happy B-Day!!!

Faithful Catholics take this very seriously too. The church tries to be so consistent with history that many people mock us, even our Christian brothers and sisters. We are the persecuted of the persecuted. We are just trying to be very consistent with the faith as it was in the begining as...

John 17:11

Yea, but what about, John 17:11 and John 17:22

I like Scott Hahn too. Read his book Rome Sweet Home. Please report back some thing on the new book.

So, this also supports the argument that sins that are NOT mortal sins wil be forgiven by God, even though the specific words say that "he will ask," it is not explicit in saying "ask God". We need to assume this. 1 John 5:16-17 still still doesn't say anyhting about going directly to God for...

John 21:25

Hi All, I have been thinking about forgiveness from God for a while (after giving the standard Catholic answer on another thread). I am a Catholic revert, spent many years in a Chirstian non-denom church, with a lot of Bible study. I am going through a self challenge to prove from the Bible...

We need forgiveness for all our sins. The Catholic church has the Sacrement of Reconciliation (confession) to wash us and make us clean. Other denonmination say you can ask forgiveness directly to God. I can't remember seeing this anywhere in the Bible. In the old testament, the flock had to go...

newlamb, I promise not to debate, I promise not to provoke others to debate. I promise and it is not in my persona to call anyone a heretic, that would be just not loving, I do not think of myself as better than anyone else. But if someone asks, or challenges the Catholic faith, or opens the...

Do you think Jesus intended for us Christians to decide for ourselves what Christianity means, or do you think that he intended it to be fully consistent? If we can pick and choose the details of the faith, does't this put individuals in charge of deciding doctrine?:pray: Mr. G

Nick, All of us Christians have an obligation to ourselves to really understand the origin of our faith. We all know it is Jesus, but did you know that He had a specific plan about how his Body (the church) was to be one? The current situation of "denominations" in Christianity is very...

Wow JMJ,:clap: That was the best post on luke-warmness I have seen so far. When this is all done, would you mind if I posted that in a "Best of what's Luke-warm thread"? Mr. G

Please only respond if your a Pentecostal or Charismatic Christian. I am posting this topic in the other areas also so as to gather differences between denominations. For those that saw this thread in the other areas, I apologize that I did not get to post this last night. please forgive me...

I am sorry i haven't posted one on the Pentecostal group yet. I will do this rright away. I only wish to seperate the discussions to see if there are any big differences between the denoms. See you in the other forum..I hope. Peace in Christ, Mr. G

So to paraphrase the general consensus as of Friday evening. To not be luke-warm, a person would need to be a least somewhat proactive in their walk. Luke-warm would be a person who calls themselves a Christian but is not growing, they possibly even go to church, but are there to check the...

So, mathias's definition of luke warm is warmer than ps139's. This is ok for me, because I want to understand the range of positions here. It can be discussed too. I have held positions in the past that said if your not 100% all Christ all the time, preaching, reading, bible study, church...

Thank you all for the great posts, but, please keep posting. I am still here. Since I am Catholic, my comments are on the Catholic thread. I see in this thread, that the discussion is going into the directions of emotionalism vs obedience & life choices.

Thak you. The Lord has brought me a long way in my walk. That is an excellent point that I failed to see, Rev is directing that comment to a church or community of believers, and not to individuals. Do you think that this could have something to do with the fact that we are all different parts...

I have read revelation quite few times, I am interested to hear how everyon eelse views the term "luke warm". Is it a relative term or is it an absolute? Is it even questinable to question this?
