    Liberation Theology

    Anyone else in here interested in liberation theology? I'm just starting to get acquainted with it--so far it seems to line up wonderfully with my beliefs about the gospel and social justice. I'm currently going through a book by a South African liberation theologian on being a socially...

    God--Eternal or Everlasting?

    What does the Catholic Church teach about God's relationship to time? Is He eternal or everlasting? I know St. Thomas Aquinas believed that God was eternal, but is that an official teaching of the Church? Were there any prominent leaders in the Church who believed God is everlasting?

    What is the purpose?

    I posted this in the "Catholic Q& A" thread in the teens forum, but I think I shall post it here as well... I understand that prayer to the saints is not wrong, but I don't see what good it does. Prayer does not change God, does it? He is unchangable and immutable. In my understanding...

    What does it mean in Colossians 1:13-15 when it calls Jesus the "firstborn of all creation"? Isn't He God, and thus, uncreated? And, doesn't John 1 make Him out to be creator? Colossians 1:13-15: "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His...
