First, I want to say I am very sorry that you have had this happen to you. But I can assure you that God is still sovereign (in authority and in control) in this situation and you will see the blessings from this in the future. All that to say, I know that it in no way makes this easy for you...

You are completely missing the point of my post in its entirety. The current pope has nothing to translate or interpret since it has already been done by the authority figures in the past; I thought that maybe we all could have assumed that but my bad on making assumptions. You completely...

Thank you for your response! The first thing I would like to say is that I spend a lot of time discussing theology with very well knowledgable RC missionaries, priests, and will often refer to the catechism at times, so I think I know more about the faith than you think I do. My conclusion of...

No problem at all! It is nice to see you are knowledgeable in the faith :oldthumbsup:

Korean-American Christian, my post wasn't necessarily intended to learn about the RC church since I have studied quite a bit of it. But rather, I wanted to discuss the two questions I posted with those who stand behind an infallible office such as the pope. You don't need to continue to post...

I have spent a lot of time discussing theology with Roman Catholics, since I was born and raised Roman Catholic but have left that faith on account of their doctrine and dogma. Thus, that brings me to a few questions that I have been reflecting on for a while now. During these discussions with...

Wow, that is pretty cool! I can certainly see how that helps out quite a bit. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't have the option because I changed my major right before Junior year... But it seems like you have a pretty good study route planned out! There is no way I could complete that major and minor...

Thank you for the response. It really is nice to get a pretty good explanation of why people believe this (as in educated people like yourself and not those that simply believe because they like it to be true). But, I really do see the logic in all of this. Regarding the psychological studies...

That's interesting, thank you for explaining this to me. But I've got to ask, how to do you come to that conclusion after reading Romans 1:26-27? Isn't Paul talking about men and women abandoning natural relationships for unnatural?

Dang, that sounds pretty convenient.. As long as you know what you want to study I'd say! By the way.. Golden Retrievers are the best dogs.

Does one year away count as soon? Haha I still have one year left of undergraduate studies. My major is human services with a chemistry minor, it is essentially a pre-medical undergraduate degree. I've been told that I would get into Veterinarian school but I'm not too sure if that is what God...

So the first thing we need to understand here is that God is just in all of His ways. Your faith says that you are Catholic, so you should agree with me on that, right? But I know that is the most stereotypical answer and I get that, but that doesn't mean the statement isn't true. I guess one...

Thats interesting. So what about the verses in Romans, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians that speak against homosexual acts? Again, Im just trying to learn why people believe in this, thats the only reason I keep asking these questions.

I can understand why you believe what you said initially when studying the Old Testament, but when people think that way they usually do not understand what is going on and in reality there is a loving God and a loving purpose behind it.. Now in the New Testament, I have no idea how you are...

So when you say same-sex relationships, I'm assuming you mean marriage as well? So if you don't mind me asking, why are you more on the fence of God accepting the practice?

Wait, are you saying that you don't believe that the whole Bible is inspired?

Also: Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Timothy 1:8-11

Ok so I do not know what it is that you did to make you think that you "messed up," but I want to try to give you some hope. So as of right now the most important fact that I want you to hear is that God MOST CERTAINLY loves you. In fact, He loves you so much that He came down to dwell amongst...

I appreciate your comment about the essay. I also did not know that they weren't a church, I had thought that they were. Anyway, one additional note I would have to add is that this essay was written almost exactly one year ago, and I have grown in faith and knowledge so incredibly much that I...

Sorry, this is the link haha. Opposition to Homosexuality Within Christianity
