    Is the Church going down the drain?

    I'm a Catholic but at times am embarassed to be one. Why? Because the Church says it's the "true Church" but every time I go to mass, I see two things: ignorance and laziness. Let's face it: most Catholics don't know crap about their faith. And all my Protestant friends talk circles around...

    Is traditional Christianity dead?

    I've been wondering if traditional Christianity, as defined by the Apostles Creed, is dead. Living in today's world, a world marked by evolution, big bang cosmology, bibilcal criticism, neuroscience, as well as the horrors of the 20th century all make traditional Christian theism improbable...or...

    Reconstructionists: Who are these wackos?

    Has anybody ever heard of Christian Reconstructionism? They're a group of mostly Reformed Christians who want to make America into a theocracy; they also want to implement the Old Testament laws. These people are for the stoning of homosexuals, women who have abortions, and children who disobey...

    What if non-Christians go to heaven?

    As I get older, and am awed by the mystery of God, I'm convinced that God's ways are more mysterious than I once thought. I used to think that one had to confess Jesus as savior in order to be saved. That may be true. But what if it's not? Maybe there will be people in Heaven who, for one...

    Why is the rapture so important?

    I've been hearing a lot about the rapture lately and, to tell you the truth, it's ticking me off. Not to be mean or anything, but shouldn't we journey across the globe teaching people the way of Jesus while letting all the details (like the rapture) work themselves out on their own? Who cares...

    If God is all-powerful, why use evolution?

    Just wondering what you all think. If God is all-powerful, why did God use evolution to create life on earth? It seems like a cruel and non-loving way to create. Wouldn't it have been more loving to create all at once, in six twenty-four hour days, and thus avoid millions of years of...

    A question for Young-earthers

    Hey everyone, I haven't been in the young earth camp for a long time. I was wondering how important young earth creationsim is to your faith. If evolution was proved true, would this destroy your faith in any way? I've managed to do just fine (I'm an evolutionist) but some people think that if...

    Are Catholics going to hell?

    Hey, what's up? I'm new to CF and am getting familiar with the site. I'm Catholic, and as a convert I've heard lots of nasty things about us. Basically, I'd like to know if Catholics are going to hell. I've heard all the common reasons: they pray to Mary, re-sacrifice Christ at the mass, ask...

    Left Behind series...where do I begin?

    I go to the bookstore a lot, and there seems to be a new "Left Behind" book every time I walk inside. I've never read any them but want to. Thing is, where do I begin? Are there any I should skip? :scratch:

    The Gospel of Arnie: a Catholic novel

    Hey everyone, I'm new to Christianforums. I couldn't find an "Intro" section, so I guess I'll introduce myself here. I'm Lee Tasey, and I'm a graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University. I'm living in good ol' Nebraska. I was doing a Ph.D. in philosophy at UN but dropped out to write fiction...
