Do you belong to the same religion as your parents?
Do you belong to the same political party, if not the same political party as your parents, the most popular one of your region?

John 14:12 states: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

Jesus did many great things, like calming the sea, healing the sick, raising the dead, feeding the people by multiplying the some loaves of bread and a few small fish, casting out evil spirits, prophesying, preaching the good news. But His life on earth was finite. So He said to His disciples that they can also do what he was doing and even greater than those. What do you think is it?

There is a way of living, of having one's being that does not depend on outside pressure to motivate and direct it. It is a way of life that springs from a source within you as the direct result of a proper relationship with God.
The life energy that wells up in you through this relationship does not come wrapped in words or feelings; rather, it rises naturally and effortlessly out of a deep understanding, a state of readiness to recognize and accept the guidance of Truth in every moment. In short, it is the meditative state of consciousness
Why can't we seem to hang on to this blessed state of consciousness ?
You surely know the answer: it is the pride we inherited from Adam as the result of his choice to be his own God, apart from his Creator. This genetic inheritance of willfulness, selfishness, and pride is a handicap in itself, but when these failings are glorified and promoted by the culture we are born into, it's no wonder that we soon lose our connection to the true source of .

We rented a beach house for a week. While we were there, I would be laying on the bed, and the bed would start shaking back and forth like someone was jostling it. My sister said she felt the same thing. This also happened to me years ago when I was staying at an old bed and breakfast. I could never figure out where it was coming from. Also - when we were packing to come home I carefully packed the baby monitor, but when I came home I couldn't find the cord to the receiver. My mom called and said she found it plugged into an outlet behind the bed in the babies' room. That is strange because I remember winding up the cord and packing it, and we would have no reason to plug it in in the babies' room, and we didn't even know there was an outlet behind the bed. This also happened to me 2 months ago after our last beach vacation. I swore I packed the monitor cord, but it ended up in the living room, and I thought it wasn't mine so we left without it. Any thoughts?

In the novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" (yes, that's the actual title, not just "Frankenstein"), Doctor Frankenstein's creation commits a murder (several, but let's stick with the first one). In his ignorance this new-born Goliath (in terms of his strength) kills someone. Who was responsible, an ignorant but still cognicent creation who kills as he stumbles about in his naissence, or the creator who made him? Is Frankenstein responsible for his creation if he doesn't directly make the choices for the creation? Who (Frankenstein, the creation, both, neither?) is morally responsible for these actions?

If you ask me, these days, it's Islam. Just look at some answers here. "Islam is the one true religion"

You call that tolerant. Before I get bashed by muslims, I want to point out that Christianity has had its fair share of being intolerent but recently they've stopped. Muslims however seem intent on proving that other religions are fake and only their's is true.

All religion should be scrapped. Believing in God is futile. The dark side will consume all.

If God created man why did he give men nipples? I don't think I will ever be able to squirt milk... some women say they get excited playing with a man's nipples but why would god do such a thing? Is that an example of "intelligent design"? Seems kinda contrary isn't it?

We are attending a costume ball in October. I need to get started now to make our costumes great. Does anyone have any couple's costume ideas?

It needs to be something rather classy, not goofy (no Tweedle-Dum/Tweedle-Dee or Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head) and nothing scary. Anyone? Thanks so much.

If there is a Catholic whose answers you enjoy and find informative, someone who consistently gives proper Church teaching.... Now is your chance to list his or her name and give a brief explanation of why you chose this person.

I thought this would be a wonderful way to encourage our brothers and sisters, letting them know how much we appreciate them in this forum.

PLEASE STAR this question so that all of our fellow Catholics can find it, and those whom you honor will most likely see it.
