That is the problem,which the hierarchy have never ever faced full square. They ,and you, lump All questioning into the same 'basket' ,and by making comments like you have ,or taking things out of context, you 'blacklist', all reasonable discussion. I have been thinking a bit more about the...

No one here has the truth on this one. Mitchie,it is good that you support the church that you have joined as fully grown adult, but it is different for those who have been born to that church. They have to have the freedom of the 'prodigal' ,one of the most important parables in the New...

I believe that a Good creator[God] made a working and beautiful creation,which finally included His Creation of us to be like Him [.What awonderful thought .] As we know a jealous and depraved creature, lucifer, brought 'evil and death into the 'world' etc .etc. Since then,there is...

What a travesty of the truth to say ''Catholicism is based on good works,if you don't do enough religious works you cannot attain heaven''.... What a simplification, and therefore ''bearing false witness '',in a worldwide forum,which can lead a lot of people ,who do not know the bible, to be led...

Thankyou .This is very clear,and very very useful. Whiskey is originally Irish, not 'scotch' ,just to be clear. :):)

Fantine,you are nearly brilliant. I have decided from now on to say what I mean,or nothing at all. If I try to fit 'around',it comes out distorted ,and I get banned anyway .Thanks for that .I am not a liberal ,but a 'different Christian '. But whatever ,thanks again.:)

Goodness me,most of whatyou have quoted here ,is not by me at all. I have always been against unneccessary militarisation ,and my bible knowledge is much less than that of my historical ,political, and general religious ones . In the U.K. I marched against the war in Iraq ,wrote letters,talked...

Yes indeed,he always quotes Paul. The idea that Jesus did away with the original law is his idea. The background law continues to exist in the universe,and will until God has completed His work here. Acting in personal anger is something we have to avoid,and had to learn to control, but the...

Have you ever thought of asking God for help directly ?

I don't think you will be the only one .A perverts paradise .Open permission to get turned on by talking their fantasies .What some of these incredibly shortsighted [I would liketo use something closer] people on this post are too dim to 'see' ,is that your paedophiles perversion begins in his...

She needs protection from people like you ,even more than those who would touch her body . You can kill my body ,but not my soul. To keep children safe ALL we need to do is be there for them .Tell them that if anyone touches them in anyway,which makes them feel uncomfortable,then they must...

Children who grow up in impure backgrounds,are more likely to be sexual perverts ,be raped etc The mind creates who we become,and who we become, is our fate . Fill a small childs mind with inappropriate contentographic images from a stranger,will keep him safe ? What do you think Jesus is talking about ? I...

I think this is a serious war against children . I do not want some questionable stranger telling my grand child what is clearly in most cases,far in advance of their ability to absorb,without 'shocking their systems. Purer minds have a right to stay 'pure' if they wish. I never ever put in to...

You have a typical ' lower carnal' mind set ,which is incapable of the 'higher' purer form of the kind of which Christ came to guide us into. Following the external rituals, of any religion,will not set you 'free' from the trap ,in which you have ensnared yourself . To someone with this'...

Thatis how You have to live .Many others do not agree,do not have the same values,and can come on a plane to your 'space. There are now more than 7 billion people on the planet.How do you propose to protect your neighbourhoood,and beyond ? We live on the earth [in the universe ]according to Laws...

Goodness me, it was considered degrading as far back as 5,000 years ago in ancient vedic culture, pre -hindu . Time that Catholics caught up with historical facts ,and stopped manipulating them .

Yes ,the confused ,Tolerant, liberal. ''You will say and do what I think, or else, we have ways of making you do so''. :D:doh::doh:

I see where you are coming from, and you are wise . On one hand we have to not accept ,condone or partake willingly ,but the churches' role is not to condemn, but to lead ,to guide,to heal ? Too many have in the past have not seen the plank in their own eye, while cruelly condemning someone...

This is true,but you are completely missing the point .You will have no right to criticise, or you may go to jail etc. once it becomes common. It is not like other sins. It is based in most cases , unlike prostitution, which is not promotional, but on arrogant assumption of superiority...

Too many Catholics,and other Christians too,have been intellectually lazy.They have been happy to be told what to believe,but entry into the eternal life of the 'kingdom' is done in two major stages. First there is the emotional ,faithful,hopeful part,where submission to and love of God and...
