    Hello Is the link provided by bbbbbbb an acceptable source for information about the Catholic Church? (It looks pretty good to me.) That is it acceptable to papst1; the original poster?

    Sola Scriptura and Sola Ecclesia: Accountability and Norming

    I take counsel from Doctrine. In the end, I must chose for myself. Jesus will not ask me what you think.

    Sola Scriptura and Sola Ecclesia: Accountability and Norming

    Thank you all for your time and effort. I understand the difference between genuine and enforced humility. (If I don't bend it ; He will) I will submit to the only One who has the power to destroy my soul. I believe I can understand Scripture as well as any other human being. I understand what...

    Feeling secure in our salvation?

    Speaking for myself..."and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." He has lifted this beggar out of the dunghill and stood me up amongst royalty. While my emotions respond positively to this, my emotions do not provide assurance. "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of...

    If Mary was sinless?

    If I may interject: the Lord choose Moses to be His mouthpiece, and when Moses objected, the Lord got his brother to do it. And if we do not carry the message forth, the rocks will stand up in our place.

As God is...

    The Sinner's Prayer cannot save anyone!

    Hello: I have re-read my first post and I must say I do not see the problem. The good news that I was given said "Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh and that He died for my sins". He paid the price. He purchased me from the slave market of sin. Absolute rightousenss has been deposited...

    The Sinner's Prayer cannot save anyone!

    Not sarcastic. At one time I did not believe the statement. After I accepted the truth, I was / still am saved. All that is needed is a mental change of mind. Without proper training, emotions can lie to you. No sacraments needed.

    The Sinner's Prayer cannot save anyone!

    In my opinion the only thing wrong with the sinner's prayer is asking the candidate to feel sorry for their sins. Emotions are a non-issue. What you think about Jesus Christ is the issue. I changed my mind about the fact that "Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh; and that He died for my...

    I found this at gnisios.narod.ru/feofanhow.html How To Save the Soul by Bishop Theophan the Recluse What does one say to the person who asks: "How can I save my soul?" This: Repent, and being strengthened by the power of grace in the Holy Mysteries, walk in the path of God's...
