Hi CA,I have some time here and thought I'd try to get some quick thoughts down.Quote Eating meat on Friday has always been a pastoral provision and not infallible Dogma.  It would fall in the category of married priests.  In the Latin West they usually don't allow it.  In the East we do.Okay, gotcha.  But you must understand that for those of us…[Read more]

Hey Kevin,Good to “see” you! Do me favor and update your web info so that when I click on it, it will take me to your site. Also, if you are able to, delete me (including my email that I registered with). This way I can register a-new. I've had zero luck trying anything else.Love,Mandy

Hey Pal,Quote There is actually no evidence whatsoever that there was any male sperm involved in the conception of Jesus in Mary's womb.Is not the Father the source of everything? Why would he not provide a sperm for a human pregnacy? It's kind of a given, shouldn't it be? Otherwise, what type of pregnacy would it be? Could you even call it a…[Read more]

CA,Thank you. Let me ponder what you have shared here, and get back to you this evening.I love your ability to remain focused and not on the defense – signs of a true teacher.Love,Mandy

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 08 2009,06:21)Its always a good idea to be cautious with the masoretic text since it was compiled between the 7th and 10th centuries AD by Jews who rejected Christ.How do you know this is true?

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 10 2009,08:19)Every Tom, Dick or Harry heretic has claimed to hear the voice of God leading them into all truth. But NONE of them can even try to claim to be speaking from the fountain of the apostles.As you know, the JW's have a similiar campaign going in their efforts to convince the world that they are the ONLY…[Read more]

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 10 2009,08:21)Also this by St. Irenaeus:”As I said before, the Church, having received this preaching and this faith, although she is disseminated throughout the whole world, yet guarded it, as if she occupied but one house. She likewise believes these things just as if she had but one soul and one and the same…[Read more]

Quote (CatholicApologist @ Sep. 10 2009,08:12)And SOMEBODY has GOT to be dead WRONG.CA,I have to confess and tell you that I do not believe this anymore. I think this is part of what drives Christians to burn people at stakes, and to throw other's out of their congregations. I think it's also what divides a “house” and of course it does not…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 10 2009,07:08)Hi not3, Who mentioned feelings?But trying to reach God by following the rabbit trails of the deceived is futility. He is so close to all men even in the centre of the worldly idolatrous cities like Athens.Finding Him in dusty theological tomes and human religion is rather less likely.Can you have fellowship…[Read more]

CA,Quote My point is that even my dad who really loves the Lord and is as sincere as you are going to find can't begin to answer the questions I have raised. I still wish I could have been a fly on the wall the day you told your dad you were converting (and your reasons why). Hmmmm. I wonder how that conversation went and is still going on…[Read more]

Hi Keith,I think a lot was left out, personally. Why not this? I'm certain that if the author's of the bible included body language…..the final book would have been so big! We know that even using this forum can sometimes pose problems in communication because we cannot see one another and their body language.The other verses are…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 10 2009,06:34)Hi CA, You can know you God and not just have to talk about His theological essense.
