Paul refers to all those in Christ as Saints... For example in 1 Corinthians 1:2 we see this, and in Colossians 1:1-2, and Philippians 1:1 also. The Catholic understanding of “saints” compare with the biblical teaching is false. In Roman Catholic theology, the saints are in heaven. In the Bible...

So it's been the best part of more then half a year.... I felt the need to update this thread with my progress. Unfortunately, i did relapse (ONCE) and that was on New Year Eves of (2017/18) from this point onwards I have been clean. (All glory to God). 7 Months and counting. It's not been...

By reading my Bible and then looking at what the Catholic Church teaches and practices.

I know they are genuine Catholics who truly believe in the LORD, but I don't trust Catholicism in it's self. It mixes lies with truth, and teaches things which are not biblical.

Wrong. The Roman Catholic church came into being in 312 A.D... (And I use the word "Church" lightly.) Believers were first called "Christians" in Antioch (Acts 11:26), the Book of Acts was written in 80–90 AD.

According to the Bible, it is Christians who are saints. The word “saint” comes from the Greek word hagios, which means consecrated to God. Therefore, scripturally speaking, the “saints” are the body of Christ, Christians, the church. All Christians are considered saints. All Christian are...

This will probably be my last update unless anything changes but as of now I'm still CLEAN.. Going on 12 Weeks+ now. All glory and praise be to the LORD who strengthens me.

I think people in general make it much more difficult then need be. Fruit of the spirit is important no doubt, we ought to try and be Holy as God is Holy, but God already know's that we've fallen short of his Glory that's why he sent his Son because God knew we couldn't make it on our own. The...

8 WEEKS CLEAN NOW! Still going strong.

Just a small update: 4 WEEKS clean so far since my last posting... The Lord has been good to me and my prayers have been answered. God is giving me the strength through our Lord Jesus Christ I just need to remain strong now. God bless everyone! Stay strong in the Lord.

Since my above comment I did relapase, unfortunately, one more time. It's getting less but the more important discovery on this road is that even at my lowest times I still felt God speaking unto my heart.... My faith always remained and I knew that God was to finish his work that he started...

Just an update that I did relapse.. Two (2) times. But now I'm 7 Days Clean of today's date, and hoping that I finally get delivered this time. I thought my faith was strong, but it's not as strong as I thought it to be. But I know the LORD is with me and I will beat this devil in my life...

[This is My Confession, My Letter to God... Open Heart] I have no one to talk to because it's like the dirty little secret in my life that no one knows about. For the past 3 weeks my life took a dramatic and dangerous turn down a dark and horrible road. I let Cocaine enter into my life for the...

Thank You everyone for your answers, they mean a lot and have eased my mind to some extent. But I feel I've finally come to peace with the question I've asked today. I often find myself dwelling on the unnecessities rather then what really matters. And what really matters is that my entire focus...

Thank you, this is a good answer. Clears up a lot of misunderstanding. There are day's I pray that God strengths my faith through what I am not able to understand straight away. Not everything can be understandable and explained tho. This is why we must have faith I guess. Thanks for your answers.

You are right in that I think of death as torture, I guess it would stem from animals eating each other due to food cycle. I find that for some reason it's just seems a contradiction of God's moral character that such could take place. I've always believed that Death entered after Adams Sin, and...

I believe it's to do with the Old Age Earth, and the Fossil Record etc... Where as Young Earth say Death entered after Adam Sinned which effected all of creation. This is where I was reading/stumbled across this theory! No Death Before the Fall - A Young Earth Problem BTW, I'm not sure weather...

As a Christian of 10 years now I'm always studying into Theology, Philosophy, etc... So I'm always learning something new and expanding my knowledge of God. I've recently come across something rather troubling and it's been testing my faith. That is that Animals where suffering before Sin...

It's hard to say. I would like to think my faith is strong enough that I wouldn't have to renounce... But who knows, I've read many stories in the Bible of martyrs being strengthened by the spirit of God in such distressing times. So maybe God would strengthen us to be able to suffer such evils...
