What are the names of the Catholic Churches in West Lafayette, IN?

Did they record so little of Jesus's words because they copied each others writings and added a little of what they heard from others or remembered hearing themselves between15 and 60 years later? Was Jesus actually a quiet individual with very little to say? Were the gospels intended as only a introductory 'brochure' to Christ and Christianity composed of only the 'milk' with the 'meat' being offered only to those that became believers (2 thes 2:15)? Additionally did Paul and the other new testament writers have so little to say that in 60 years of early Christian history they wrote only around 20 letters between them and the Christian churches? Or did Paul's words actually come to pass in that Satan actually had such power that he was able to influence the destruction of the apostles and their writings/teachings (2Thes. chapter 2)?

I mean its one thing to be told at work that you cant ram your beliefs and tell people they are going to hell (isint work for work and by spending time evangelising you are commiting the sin of theft) however there is no real persecution of christians in the west.

i read somewhere that a girl claimed that she had the right to have the bible thought in schools etc, however as part of the tollerace stance you must agree that everyone has the right to have peace and quiet.

what i have found is that the persecution is in fact just a rational response to obnoxious behaviours.

ie. a bunch of fundies go into a bowling alley and try to 'convert" the patrons, as it is hurting the business the manager kicks them out and they call it persecution.

what do you think.

if a normal person goes to church, believes in christ and just tells people that they happen to be a christian they will not face any negative events in america.

a lot of people can't thank God until they get their way, but the bible says that He will use life's hardships to make us stronger. when your car breaks down, when you can't pay the rent, when you lose your job, you are about to be blessed. knowing this, do you praise God for the hard times?

alot of news reports in the last 5+ years seem to show Catholic priests being perverts, rapists and pedophiles. Catholics priests of all people.

Makes me glad im with a Pentecostal church (sorry for my ignorance)

I've even read that Catholic priest articles saying things like self fulfilled stimulation is ok!
Just imagine all the non-reported things that they may get up to!

As said in earlier posting, my wife fell on her head uncontious and it was due to the wrong drug given to her that she was illergic to. So with that said, she claims to have experienced her mother (who died 6 years ago) standing in front of her saying, "go back, it's not your time" This is creepy, and I need to know why different people have different after life experiences, like some see angels, some see a fish if there in the water and drown. Some say they saw a tall man, or a beutiful women standing over them, and some say they see two tunnels with light at each end, one is narrow and the other wide, and they say the narrow one is the hardest path to god. the easy tunel is to hell.

without actually KNOWING they were. They've never said it. They've never talked to you about God. They've never tried to witness to you.

But yet you know?

If so, how do you know?

Thank you.

Or is it the other way around..
Im wondering cause I sure see a lot of similarities:

1)Possibly cute on the outside
2) In all reality mean as hell if you dare touch them
3)Yapping all the time
4) Chasing their own tales.

Christians and muslims are dumb because they base their belief on faith, which means, do not question , just follow what is written in the book . The church and mullahs has to say that because otherwise, the Bible or the koran becomes a crock, with many inconsistencies and many things that simply do not make sense.

So they stay dumb and traditional for another couple of years?

just follow the book means - god made Adem and Eva according to the book so never ever listen to Dr. Darwins theory... something like that.

Hi!

When I was a kid, adults used to enjoy children playing and would even assist by offering by-products and technology from industry (like the hot-poker axel pivot for a bogy). Post "slum clearances", play seems to have become criminalised. Chalking a hopscotch grid on the pavement is now vandalism and there are far too many things that are classed as "youth nuisance".

What has changed and why? Can we reverse this negative process?

Looking forward to your answers.

Or is this just a ploy for sympathy….I feel if you want the same treatment as a non disabled person give up the handicap space and park in the back like the rest of us. Unless you have some physical deformity and are unable to make your way to the entrance…then my question becomes why are you driving?

Why is believing in your heart that Jesus truly raised from the dead after dieing on the cross, or why is 'heart faith' sooo important?

alot of people think that God sends prophets to earth to help guide man when there are difficulties on earth for mankind. Eg...Moses for the Jews in Egypt....Guru Nanak for the Hindus when the Muslims were attacking/occupying India....Jesus for the poor/jews/etc that were under the Roman yoke...Mohammed for the Arabs that were not unified and were attacking each others tribes....Krishna when the Indian Rajas were suppressing their own people with evil deeds....etc....Do you think there is someone now?
