    Why is there so much suffering in this fallen world?

    Forward: This book is a work in progress, it will never be complete, and as such will always be updated as I get more information from the Bible, not my mind as I used to do. Keep this in mind as you read it. The reason that I write this book is not to teach you anything, or even answer...

    Which sacraments of other denominations do you accept?

    My daughter was recently baptised, and I was just wondering about this. Which sacraments are accepted by whom? I see Roman Catholics accept Protestant baptism as legitimate, provided a trinitarian formula is followed and actual water is used. They also accept Orthodox baptism, but it seems the...

    Thoughts on Baptism in the face of death

    A close friend died last weekend and I put some thoughts down on paper to help work through the grieving process. The Lutheran theology on baptism is almost the most wonderful thing - Holy Baptism itself being the top. Death, Water, and Praise I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. +Pax

    Hail Mary, for the keeping of our Baptismal vows

    In todays reading, for my 33 day Marian Consecration, Fr. Michael Gaitley spoke of how, one of the aspects of Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary, is the renewal and keeping of our Baptismal vows. Indeed, in the original Montfortian prayer of Total Consecration, the first paragraph reads...

    Are Mormons Christians?

    Disclaimer: I do not mean to offend members of the LDS church in anyway. This is just a simple discussion of people on the internet. I just wanted to see what CF thinks. My Church officially does not recognize Mormons as valid Christians. I know certain Evangelicals and liberal Christian...

    What about people who died before Christ was born?

    How exactly can I explain to someone where non-Christians went before Christ was born and died. Where did the Jews go? Would it be fair for God to send to hell all the other types of people who were born in different lands and had no control over that? What if they tried to be good people...

    Multiple Baptisms

    Do I need to be baptized?

    **Read Edit** When I was born I was baptized into Catholicism, but after some revelations I figured out Catholicism wasn't right. I consider myself Christian in the Sense that I believe in God, and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savoir; as well as I try to follow the word as God. I don't...

    Baptism. HELP!!

    I really want to get baptised but I'm not sure if I should. I was christened as a child but this was not a choice. I never gave my life to Jesus and didn't practice my faith. Now that I am older I have given my life to God and want to be baptised. Is this wrong because I may be implying that my...

    My Testimony - Who can understand the ways of God?

    Approximately 8 years ago i would wake up in a morning with this strange feeling that i should go to a church. None of family were Christians and i knew nothing about Jesus. I was a thief and a weed smoking rapper. But this feeling to go to church would not go away, i remember waking up one...

    Pope Francis and Coptic pope agree not to re-baptize

    Link: Pope Francis and Coptic pope agree not to re-baptize Was Rome not recognizing Coptic baptism before or vice-versa? The Coptic baptismal liturgy I found online uses water and immerses the baby (I'm impressed that there are no accidental drownings) three times in the name of the Father...

    Was John the Baptist an Essene?

    John the Baptist is an enigmatic figure, the Forerunner, the Voice in the wilderness. I have often seen it claimed nowadays that he was an Essene. Now there is some evidence in its favour: 1. He baptised in water. The Essenes practised immersion as well. Both seem to have expected purity...
