    Theistic Evolution Being Compatible With Christianity

    Let me begin by saying that I am a believer in Catholic theology, and thus believe in the infallable teachings of the Magesterium of the Catholic Church, which are based upon the two sources of the original deposit of divine public revelation, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. That being...

    Are we really thinking everything through?

    (Continued from previous thread) That being said, without the Church to guide us as the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Timothy 3:15) I see no way in knowing for sure whether or not we are correct on such issues as contraception or abortion or homosexual marriage. Sure we can guess to the...

    Are we really thinking everything through?

    I recently read through all of the previous posts on this thread and would like to add my two cents to the discussion at hand. I must admit that the vast majority of my posts here at Christian Forums are on theological, faith-based issues. However, as I read through everyone's comments here, I...

    are the conditions of infalibillity ever even met?

    (Continued from previous thread) I. Moral Life and the Magisterium of the Church 2032 The Church, the "pillar and bulwark of the truth," "has received this solemn command of Christ from the apostles to announce the saving truth."74 "To the Church belongs the right always and everywhere to...

    are the conditions of infalibillity ever even met?

    (Continued from previous thread) III. The Interpretation of the Heritage of Faith The heritage of faith entrusted to the whole of the Church 84 The apostles entrusted the "Sacred deposit" of the faith (the depositum fidei),45 contained in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, to the whole of the...

    are the conditions of infalibillity ever even met?

    The questions posed in the original thread are certainly interesting, as well as quite important to Catholc theology, to say the least. Since we are only discussing the Catholic faith, I will simply quote below the relevant sections of the Catechism of the Catholic Church which pertain to the...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    (Continued from previous thread) I would also like to quote from the Catechism with regards to how we obtain salvation: Catechism of the Catholic Church: GOD'S SALVATION: LAW AND GRACE 1949 Called to beatitude but wounded by sin, man stands in need of salvation from God. Divine help...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I would like to share my beliefs on the question of whether or not one is once saved always saved. I am a believer in Catholic theology and thus am against the notion proposed by certain Protestants these days of eternal security. The Church teaches us that it is actually a sin to presume that...

    How can i answer this question to an atheist??

    If possible, I would like to throw my two cents into the discussion at hand in this thread. Let me start out by saying that I am a Catholic and that the Magesterium of the Catholic Church allows for It's followers to believe in either theistic evolution (belief in God and evolution) or...

    Need help understanding Jesus

    (Continued from previous post) Third, regarding your statement of pseudo-messianism (where man glorifies himself instead of his Messiah come in the flesh) in which you said that you could very well believe that you are God and others are God also: I'm assuming that you are saying that you...

    Need help understanding Jesus

    Godseeker1, you sound like someone who is sincerely seeking honest answers to your dilemna of whether or not to believe in God and become a Christian. For that I applaud you. Let me assure you that God does not want us to "check our brains at the door" when we try to come to Him and understand...

    Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian” according to the bible

    I would like to respond, below, to Hupomone10's last post: First of all, the Word of God is not Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone). Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magesterium of the Catholic Church make up the Word of God. When Christ was on earth, He did not write the Bible, hand...

    Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian” according to the bible

    I would like to address, below, the last post made by PaulNoel. Before I do so though, I would like to add something to my last post, and that is the fact that the percentage of kids in America abused by Protestant ministers is also higher than the percentage of kids in America who are abused...

    Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian” according to the bible

    There were a number of posts made that I feel need to be addressed. I will do my best, below, to respond to all of these statements. First, Hupomone10's two posts: 1) I still say that the Magesterium of the Catholic Church's teachings are infallable. You have not specifically addressed my...

    Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian” according to the bible

    First let me address the last post made by Hupomone10. As I've stated in my previous two posts, the infallable teachings of the Magesterium of the Catholic Church are a part of God's Word, just as Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are as well. The Bible is not the only source of God's...
