Society & Culture - 31 July 2007

When I read previous questions about Jesus and our current war, I see people quote- "If you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." and "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." meaning we are to fight (their definition)

If you believe He was telling us to fight, is that what Jesus did when He was crucified?

Which is it, do as He says or do as He does? or do you think he may have been saying something else?

My intent is not to offend anyone, just to understand both views.

From many of the questions asked on this forum by non-Catholics, you would get the impression that catholics never pray to Jesus or the Father.

Question for fellow Catholics - What percentage of your prayer time is directed to God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and what percentage of your prayer time is directed to Mary and the Saints in Heaven?

If Jesus said this, please provide the exact chapter and verse. Don't quote Leviticus or Romans, because those are by Moses and Paul respectively, not Jesus.

I want to know if Jesus actually said that all homosexuals are going to hell.

W were talking about Christian women loving and respecting their husbands despite the fact that they do not believe in God. The pastor's wife (group leader) went on to say that the bible states, "But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances...". SO - I went on and asked if the bible also said that a woman is still not supposed to remarry if that husband leaves her... and she politely said that it's a gray area and a whole new topic and to ask more after the group discussion if I would like - then it donned on me that out of the 25+ people in this group some of them probably were divorced and remarried. Sure enough, we split into our smaller groups and one of them was talking about her troubles with her current husband, and her ex-husband over their daughter's custody. Should I feel bad? I do.

Only 9% of Mormon marrages that are sealed in the temple ever end in divorce. while almost 60% of all marrages that are non Mormon will end in divorce.

And the number is going up!

Why do Catholics pray to Mary and confess to a priest when we all have direct access to Jesus Christ? Who are we suppose to pray to? What does the Bible say about it? I believe that if you have your own relationship with Jesus Christ that you should pray to him and him only. You should repent to him and him only, not men. What do you all think?

And if so, what kind of religion?

(I have no opinion on the subject, but I read this in one of the Bridget Jones books. But personally I can't stand self-help books, I think they tend to be kind of flaky)

Spread the love (religious/non-religious/spiritual/non-spiritual) it doesn't matter! We're all alive and doing (hopefully) relatively well!

we read how moses died and was burried while joshua just vanished into the wilderness with no trace.

if the old testament and koran were written by these prophets then how could moses have written about how he died and got burried while joshua's mysterious journey into the wild with a no return?

How silly is that?

I don't think it's a weakness to have doubts. Some things are harder to understand than others. We aren't expected to be perfect in this life, so, never beat yourself up if you've got doubts. I'm sure we all do at some point.

It's ok for christians to live there life around something that they have no proof exists but when someone else believes in something else aka reincarnation its all a no-go?

pathetic & narrow minded if you ask me.
