How many agree with this

[ScottBot]

My fantasies usually lead me to confession and involve beautiful women that lust for my body.

Mine are simply about a hammock strung between two palm trees on a quite beach with a pina colada and no screaming kids.

Me too... until the gorgeous blonde lays in the hammock in front of my view to the ocean.


This is my big battle lately with sin. The one where Jesus said that the man that lusts in his heart has already commited sin. But God has given me grace and I am much better. Good medicine... that is Grace.

Anyway so much for my life and private confession...

 

[TraderJack]

According to you.

No, according to God's Word.

 

[TraderJack]

It means if you deny the body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ in the Eucharist then you have no life in you.

Wrong again.

 

[JacktheCatholic]

Wrong again.

Says who?

Calvin?


LOL


Dude I will follow Jesus and what his Apostles taught over Calvin any day. Personally I could never believe that no matter how I try to live my life that it will not matter because it has been pre determined for me.

Good thing your a site supporter, cuz the ad directly under your post...was from "femalefinders" and it said "Meet Catholic Women.....Talk Now"....lol...only the pics of the women didn't look like they wanted to pray the Vespers with you.

Wonder why we have to see such ads on a Christian site...

 

[Melethiel]

Last warning.
Stop the potshots and start the real discussion or the delete button comes out.

And, somehow I don't think hammocks are on topic.

Hmmm, odd. I don't believe in any of that, and I woke up just fine this morning.

You speak of the body and I speak of the Spirit.

Life and Death can be spirit or body. The death of the body is nothing when compared to the spirit.

Is the god of Islam and Roman Catholicism one and the same god?

I agree.

I mean, seriously, how many creator Gods do you think happen to exist?

Is there some other God that exists and that Muslims worship while we Christians worship another God??

Are we now back to henotheism?

 

[sunlover1]

You don't get it.

They don't just not "have a full understanding of the Trinity", they say there IS NO TRINITY.

They say JESUS IS NOT DIVINE.


Islam describes a totally different god altogether than Holy Scripture and the historic Christian faith.

Neither Christianity nor Islam can logically endorse the other religion’s distinctive claims and practices without denying its own.​

Much more needs to be discussed concerning Muslim and Christian relations in a religiously pluralistic world. However, we must conclude that despite their common monotheism, Islam and Christianity have very different views of God, worship, and mission. Therefore, it is unreasonable to claim that they worship the same God.​

I totaly agree, but don't mention it 'cause part of this forum's agreement with Google is that we are not allowed to discuss the ads.
They probably know how vulnerable they are to parody, and if their clients see us howling, Google might get pinched in the wallet.

I think the best example is here (notice especially, St. Paul also says the pagan poets have described the true God as well as those with the altar--also notice the distinction between idols--contingent beings--and the true God, Creator of which all else has its being):

Acts 17:22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. 23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you: 24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is he served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things: 26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation. 27 That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us: 28For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.

Here is another good passage:

Rom. 1:19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. 21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.

Also, it's good to notice in this passage that these people who acknowledged the true God did not believe in the Son before St. Paul preached Him to them, and yet he still says they and their poets were speaking of him. "Having the Son" and "having the Father" as used by St. John refers to salvation--in other words, we must earnestly seek and adhere to the Divine Logos to be saved. If we turn away from the Logos, we turn away from the Father.

Hey Jack, I was just playing too.
You're not alone in your battle. And that
particular one is pretty universal. Look at
King David, and all he was doing was getting
some air, ahem.

And while most hide their weaknesses
and cover their sins, you show integrity
and courage. (UNlike King David)
God loves truth and transparancy.

But the wisdom that comes from above leads us to be pure,
friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine, and sincere. 
When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice.

It's a very difficult subject. But when we read about
the God of their book, can it be the same God?

Thank you Prophet Simon. You have shown me the errors of my ways.

Thanks glad you realise I speak in spirit and truth.

4.) Pope Simon's interpretation of scripture are wrong.

Does this mean I have the power of excommunication?

I know you were not thinking less of me. Maybe hoping too.

It's also essential to keep in mind what this passage suggests. In a discussion over whether Islam and Christianity both worship the same god, we are discussing monotheists who take their inspiration from the Old Testament. But the Greeks to whom Paul was speaking were NOT monotheists. The unknown god was merely one of many to them.

Therefore the conclusion that can be reached has nothing to do with different people worshipping Jehovah, but under different names. This passage can only be used to "prove" that ANY god or gods are equally OK, or if not this, that universal salvation is God's plan. But it doesn't bear upon whether Allah is the same as the God we worship.
