Thank you. I will pray for that too. Let us leave it at that. And I apologize.

You know, when an orthodox or a catholic speaks about faith and works, they do not mean that works can grant you salvation. They mean that actions and deeds such as visiting the homeless, caring for the sick and suffering etc. are necessary for final salvation, and by final salvation I mean...

Remember, Christ is described as The Lamb... A lamb is meek and mild. You don't have to be afraid. Here is a poem for you. Perhaps it doesn't have too much to do with all this, but it is a nice poem, an the spirit in it is lovely. Little lamb, who made thee? Does thou know who made thee, Gave...

Lord have mercy. Don't fear. Pray. Reach out to people. Care for those in need. Visit the homeless and the sick etc...(no, not in order to deserve salvation, but because they are things worthy to do. Christ didn't bring a salvation program, he is salvation. To him, caring for those around you is...

Did you just condemn me to hell? Did you think that sadistic thought in your head or not? Be honest. I am not stupid.

It must feel comforting for you to have figured all this out. What a great relief! Will you be found worthy for eternity? Where in the bible though does it say all this? I am sorry, but I think you are way too much up in your head. Who knows, perhaps Jesus will return 2029.5 CE. But no, it...

Interesting. I guess then that those who belong to "the rest of the world" rather than those closest to Christ and those who are his "chosen people" are the least guilty to his death. Obviously, according to the gospel, the jews and Judas are more guilty than Pilate.

Hmm... We will have to agree to disagree I guess, unless you provide me with that proof. If you do, perhaps I am ready to change my mind! Why did Paul and the likes believe that they would live and witness Christ's return? Paul obviously believed that he wouldn't die before Christ had returned...

No I never said I believe the Catholic Church was the true church.

The bible doesn't tell us the earth is 6000 years old if that is what you mean. Nor does it say that Christ WILL return in the year 2030. That is mere speculation.

I believe the Orthodox Church is the true Church. Rome fell away from it. It is the greatest scandal in christian history, because The bishop of Rome was the most important bishop, and that bishop fell away.

Yes they all were. And all those heresies came to existence because people interpreted scripture for themselves. The church managed to defeat them all because... The church is needed!

Well you see what the teaching of Sola Scriptura have led to: 30 000 different denominations that claim to be correct. Differing opinions on matters such as soteriology, the eucharist, baptism etc. These are serious issues. It might be that your denomination for example hold to many of the true...

If someone says "The catholic church is false because of the filth it has on its conscience" then one condemns humans for not being like Christ. Of course the people within the church as well as outside of it will sin. Of course there will be "false christians" inside the church too. Read...
