    Prayer request

    DMB, I hope you don't mind me jumping into your thread but I've got a request, too. For my cousin, Christopher (16), who was in a bad accident (I don't have all the details) while on vacation and is currently paralyzed from the neck down. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow, and we're hoping...

    Moved? Moving? Considering it?

    No no no, you don't want to go to eastern Pennsylvania. Come over to the western part of the state and live in Johnstown. Things aren't the greatest right now, but we're rebounding, so you can get in on the ground floor. Low crime rates, low cost of living, beautiful scenery, friendly people...

    Fahrenheit 9/11

    No way am I seeing it. I'm still in the middle on Bush, but I'll probably wind up voting for him just so Moore and Kerry don't win. Also, if you hadn't heard, there's an anti-Mike Moore movie to be coming out this summer: http://www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com The tables have turned . . .

    Anyone from Pennsylvania?

    Johnstown, PA. Personally I think everyone in the country should know where that's at :) but since that's probably not true, we're 2 hours east of Pittsburgh, up in the hills. Let's Go Chiefs! (http://www.johnstownchiefs.com) Brian_V

    The Five Non-Negotiable Issues for a Catholic Voter.

    It's not a question of whether it will make it stop, it's a question of morality. Homicide isn't legal either, but it still happens. Abortions should not be legal, but keep in mind that that is only the first step. As for gay marriages, it's simple: there is not such thing. It's like a square...

    tell me why I shouldn't kill myself

    Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting the impression from your posts that when you say you accept Jesus, you really don't know what it is you're saying. Like you heard a bunch of other people say it, and you said it to, and it didn't do anything for you. In other words, I'm getting the...

    *sighs*

    1. If God loves us why do we suffer? No one really knows, but I think most of the major probable causes have already been addressed. I will add what I read in a cartoon once. Two guys were sitting on a rock, the one said [this isn't an exact quote] "I'd like to ask God why he doesn't do...

    Banned from the Bible

    Thanks for the responses. Trust me, I know not to trust everything on television, but that's partly why I asked these questions here. I don't think that just because they didn't show the program on EWTN that it is completely wrong, however, but not completely truthful, either. And I don't...

    Banned from the Bible

    First a short disclaimer, this isn't meant to be definant or anything, I'm just looking for clarification. I've been studying and understanding (and loving) my faith more and more, but all that researching also raises new questions. ------------ Tonight (Christmas) the History Channel ran a...

    Nicene Creed

    My goodness, how did this become such a touchy subject? First, I didn't say we wouldn't need to believe in the creeds, I mean we wouldn't need the creeds. Really, we don't need the creeds now. There are other ways to express your beliefs other than the creeds. But it is a good summary of the...

    Nicene Creed

    parousia70 -- sorry for not posting, I've been on vacation. Let me try to rephrase this a bit, because I think I may be coming off rather confusing. Do I believe what I say in the creed? Of course. Will there be a time when Jesus will come again? Yes. So will there be a time when this...

    Nicene Creed

    "So you are saying that the creeds are only temporary, and will eventually become useless, obsloete and unnecessary to the Christian?" Why do you make it sound so negative? Whether the Creeds are temporary, to me, is somewhat irrelevant, seeing how it is what we believe (that which is...

    Nicene Creed

    "Even you must admit that this phrase does not remain true for eternity: "He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead" Even the staunchest of futurists must assert that once Christ finally "comes again", then this part of the creed will become obsolete and untrue...

    Nicene Creed

    "That is my point. Most of these forums consist of those who believe there is a literal grave emptying physical resurrection at the time of a future return of Jesus. I don't, as well as millions of others. The Nicene creed didn't jump out and answer the question for you and it it doesn't...

    Nicene Creed

    You know, I was going to answer 'spiritually' right away, but apparently I would have been mistaken. I originally thought it meant about rising us out of that 'limbo' (for lack of a better word) that the souls went to before Jesus rose. I still need to look into this more, but it seem that it is...
