i feel that the catholic church is a rediculously humiliating religious group to god and people. thecombine and seperated certain comandments so that there are still ten. don't think its still wrong though. in the bible it states that we are not to worship or pray anyone or anything but god. yet in the catholic church the have statues of saints and jesus and mary. and they pray to all those statues on their knees. then in the prayers i hear, "mary queen of apostles, saint vincent pallotti, pray for us". thats not praying to god. and the who confession thing is retarded. i refuse to ask gods forgiveness through a man. to do so would be the same as if i committed a crime against some one and asked a friend that we both knew to apologize to that person for me. the church has started its wars, it has had scams and deciet and there have been several popes that had sexual affairs with womeen( good news though the took that more seriously so now they go after boys).what do you think?

As in, "The scripture was cannonized." Also there are positions in the Catholic church called Cannon. And I believe Cannon is a section of the church as well. Where did this word come from and what does it mean in a religious context?

I've seen so many Christians do something ON PURPOSE but, after they do it, they just say "I made a mistake, nobody's perfect" Why do Christians lie to themselves? Do christians not know the meaning of mistake

From your memory, or your imagination, or maybe what someone told you. Do you believe the people being called "hippies" today carry the same value systems and goals (or lack thereof) as those in the 1960s? What do you think the 1960s hippie was all about?

The word monotheist refers to one god in one form, the trinity was not even embraced after the roman ideology, so why do christians call themselves one of the abrahomic relgions? only honest answeres please.

From what I can tell, Christ was very poor and would not have been rich. If he had excess he would have given it away. Also greed is supposed to be a sin. Does being rich or even the desire to be rich constitute greed?

Looking at the questions listed here, I'm reminded just how much the English language is falling apart. I mean, there's a SPELL CHECKER provided here, and people STILL are spelling things wrong!

What is causing the demise of proper grammar and word usage? Is it the overly-casual typing patterns that we all use now? Is it the proliferation of ebonics into daily culture? Is it irreversible? Is it just a trend?

2006-06-28 06:24:17 · 17 answers · asked by pceej 4 in Languages

I'm confused as to why this belief is so widespread.

If you check out Acts 9 and 22 Paul, for instance, obeyed Jesus, fasted, repented, and even prayed. But he still wasn't forgiven because Ananias then said "Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.' " (Acts 22:16).

I'm not trying to say that we are forgiven BECAUSE we are baptized but based on the examples from the Bible it certainly seems that baptism is the time in which God chooses to forgive our sins which is when we're saved.

So am I missing something? Are there scriptures supporting this? And how do you deal with the fact that the idea of being able to pray for forgiveness and be saved is a relatively modern idea?

Thanks.

The number of Non-hispanic white Americans living in poverty rose the greatest among all groups, to 8.6 percent and 16.9 million people in 2004, an increase from 8.2 percent in 2003. The poverty rate remained unchanged for African Americans at 24.7% and Hispanics at 21.9%. The rate decreased for Asian Americans from 11.8% in 2003 to 9.8% in 2004.

Please note, I said "racial" statistic and not "racists" LOL

Original sin? Does anyone really believe that? For my current sins? How could someone ELSE accept responsablity for these? Don't I have to accept responsabilty for my own actions? If he died for my sins, then why do I still ahve to ask for forgiveness? If this is a gift, then why do I have to earn it? Why do I have to earn forgiveness for a sin I never commited?

I recognize it doesn't always make the cut, but it certainly made my list, and those of several others. So for those of you who answered my "48 hours before you die question," and for anyone else really, why is it that 'lots of sex" tends to make the list quite often?

Any insight?

many people judge religion, politics or other things they know nothing about - would you be open to education before you offered an opinion?
