A few years ago I bought a Didache Bible for a Bible study I was in. That was the translation they usd. Since then it’s been sitting in a drawer unused. I got it out and started reading it. Is it a good Bible? It has the CCC in it, too.

How many here read their Bibles on a regular basis? Among those who do, how do you read it? All the way through? Various books? How many here don’t like to read much of the OT, except for Psalms and Proverbs. I much prefer those two and the NT.

Okay, I know Catholics can believe in the theory of evolution but some (many?) scientists take that back as far as us starting out as pond scum or something. Can Catholics believe that? If not, how far back is permissible?

Is the LCMS considered to be an Evangelical denomination?

I used to belong to the LCMS which believes in much of the Bible literally…..900 year life spans, giants etc.is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod considered Evangelical?

My church had their First Holy Communion for the second graders today. I saw a clip of them on my churches’ site. They looked so cute. But what is the reasoning behind the girls dressing up like little brides? Are they a bride of Jesus?

Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity…..so is Jesus God? When we receive the Eucharist, we receive Jesus but are we receiving God?

During Bible Study tonight my group was talking about the OT and the 900 year lifespans came up. The general consensus was that people didn’t really live that long. Do Catholics have to believe these lifespans as being literal?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Fom a Polish Croatian, LOL.

I was reading tonight and learned that many (most?) modern scholars say the Gospels were written anonymously, not by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And that they were written much later than the RCC says they were. I looked this up on Catholic Answers but their articles didn’t help 100%. This is...

I’m in a discussion on fb with someone who was bashing the Bible and I said it is a wise and profound book. He replied something like this: “What part? Rape? Incest? Genocide?“ and he said that the Bible “just regurgitates beliefs and tenants from other religions.” How do I respond to that? And...

I’m in a discussion on fb with someone who was bashing the Bible though not Catholicism. He doesn’t know I’m Catholic. I said the Bible is a wise and profound book. He replied something like this: “What part? Rape? Incest? Genocide?“ and he said that the Bible “just regurgitates beliefs and...

Dumb question but what exactly does having a rosary blessed do? Make it more powerful or what?

Hubby and I went to my church Fish Fry for dinner tonight. Fish Fries area big thing here in my town. How about yours? Is this a big Midwestern thing or are they popular everywhere? All or almost all of the Catholic parishes I know of have them here on Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent.

How is everybody doing so far giving up or adding something to their day for Lent?. I am praying a daily rosary and so far, so good. I’ll probably start going to Adoration, too. How about you?

When I was going to the LCMS church nearby I had a lot of questions for my pastor, many of which weren’t answered to my satisfaction. One question was about creation. During a meeting with my then-pastor he turned the tables on me and asked what I believe happened. I said that I believed God...

Are Catholics supposed to believe the flood was global or are we allowed to believe it was regional?

A friend of mine was saying that the majority of people sitting in the pews of a Catholic Mass are elderly. He was speculating on what‘s going to happen to the Church when these people are no longer here? He thought the CC will die out. I noticed how the elderly are in the majority when I go to...

This probably will sound like a stupid question but it’s been bothering me. I find lotus flowers kind of pretty and have now, and have had in the past, a picture of one on my fb page. Since Buddhists or Hindus or whatever religion uses them as a symbol, is it a sin to have one on my page? I...
