I have someone I care deeply about how is lost in a cult known as the Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is a Filipino made cult that not only denies the divinity of Christ but has so much control over their members. This cult forces things such as mandatory attendance 2x a week, discourages their members...

Hello everyone. I've been in a good relationship with someone and we recently talked about our beliefs. She confessed to me that she was a member of the "Iglesia Ni Cristo" (INC). The INC are I would say the Filipino version of the Jehovah's Witnesses, maybe even stricter. In other words it's a...

I'm just wondering what is everyones preference? I've been roaming different parishes in NYC, mostly finding young adult stuff. Anyway, I've been to a few that had the traditional music, opera like singer, a piano or organ, and just the people singing and I've been to a few that where much...

I need prayers to forgive and let go of someone who I cared about, who i considered a friend and not only did we break in bad terms but I was treated unfairly and possibly emotionally abused. I've tried to talk things out as gentle as possible to compromise but in the end I was met with...

I have a theological question that was raised by a protestant in regards to the topic of Mary being with out sin. "Was Mary's parents and so on sinless too"? This question is raised as a logic counter on our argument that God could not be in a womb that had sin (just like how the 10...

Hello. I have an interview with a very big company tomorrow. It's literally a dream job that I am having a 2nd chance at. Its really amazing too since I was in such grief over circumstances involving disconnection with someone close to me (which I made a prayer thread about), and one of my...

I am seeking prayers because I am in bad terms with a friend who i care about. I'm not going to give the entire story, but the sum is this person who i considered a close friend doesn't like me personally anymore. I honestly believe i'm not fully in the wrong, and the person has offended me in...

I am considering joining the National Guard, but my main worry is quitting my current job and being met with financial difficulties during Basic Training and after. I've read that National Guards have 1 drill per month (and 2 weeks a year) so that means that I will be more likely living my...

I just saw this video of a rescued dog who was so badly abused that he cries when being touched and a second one with a rescued dog who faces the wall To be able to get an animal like that, there had to be some real abuse done to it. There isn't much in scripture as to how bad of a sin it...

I am not a vegan/vegetarian, but I have known christians who are strictly vegetarians/vegans. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I am interested in knowing why. Do you have any reasons why you don't eat meat, other than taste? Do you think it is wrong, despite the scriptures having...

Have you ever heard a skeptic ask, why would satan (an Angel who knew God and his power) just decide he could take him on? So it got me thinking. What if the way satan's "plot" in battling God isn't about power or isn't just the simple "getting more souls to hell" christian cliche but something...

What is your opinion on this? One of the biggest curiosities I have in regards to the Church is the existence of this highly secretive area (one of the most secured places in the world, along with Area 51). Why does the church have this so secured, and do you think this raises red flags on what...

What i mean by Kosher isn't including specific dietary laws in the OT but the "painless" slaughter of the animal. As Christians, especially us Catholics who rely on the traditions of the apostles. Since when did they abandon this Judeo-Christian teaching of humane animal slaughter. Since when...

I have a friend in the Philippines who tried to enroll her daughter to a Catholic school. It's a very good school with a good academic reputation and it's lead mostly by Nuns. However, because the parents were never married (or even together), the child was rejected due to her being an...

I made this thread due to the current events surrounding Gay marriage. I'm not supportive of SSM due to my Catholic beliefs, however I've noticed several atheists and even christians who support SSM. There was this christian info-graphic about how God isn't against SSM.. Seeing this graphic...

Hi everyone. I am here because I am in the process of making a very important decision which is going into the Military at the age of 32 years old. Why you ask? There are several reasons, but most of it is career wise. I a multimedia designer (graphic design to be exact), I have a BA and MA in...

Before anything else, I don't want to hear any "satan this or satan that".. i hope to get a logical and scientific talk here. Just recently, somebody I knew jumped off a building a live streamed it. Now this guy obviously had something happened to his life that got him in this state of mind...

Why can't the Orthodox be considered the One True Church along with the Roman Catholic Church? I've been interested in Orthodoxy, mainly because in this forum this denomination seems to be the most closest to a Catholic. In the sections where all denominations meet, Catholics and the EO would...

I'm looking for a good charismatic style of catholic service, hopefully young adult type with a lot of diversity. I live in the Jersey City area so anywhere from here to Manhattan would be cool to try out,

Since the book of Revelations has been known for centuries to be a "spoiler" for what will happen in the end, and the about the Anti-Christ putting the mark of the beast, raging war, making people believe he is the messiah.. etc Wouldn't it be logical for the devil to have a plan change...
