so who is right ? catholic on their belief ? or protestant ?

now there might be both saying that both could be saved because both doctrines accept jesus as their saviour.
but whose belief is right ?

after reading several protestant post and comments on websites and Y!A i have gotten the idea that protestant are 100% sure that their interpretation MUST BE CORRECT and that God MUST DO what they have interpret their bible to mean , and if a non-christian were to be saved , the God is not worthy of their respect

is that true?

Today I chose the standard stall and was really proud of myself because a person in a wheelchair came in and had to use the handicapped stall.

One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

I am a drug and alcohol case manager for homeless men and women. I see quite a bit of drugs, and since I am in California I find one or two to be the worst. So if everyone would please tell me what state and what drug comes up the most, I would appreciate it. I am doing a research project with my findings.

The one that can give me the most intelligent answer as to why this particular drug you chose is the worst gets best answer! Good Luck!

But if it is not Gods will for this to be, I pray for the stenght and understanding to deal with the lose. He is understandingly down on faith a little right now and I would like a verse or chapter or even a book if it is fitting to uplift his fait. Any suggestions

Please keep us in your prayers...
Thanks

Imagine the most unholy and/or blasphemous ways of mocking God. Chances are, I have done it.

God is quick to anger, there are MANY counts of this in the Bible, so to all of you that will say, "Well you will get yours in the afterlife", you are wasting your breath as well as contradicting your own belief system.

Why let me live untouched, unscathed, while many religious people have far worse lives than myself? Why strike down their children in the streets, when a known blasphemer such as myself would be a far better target?

Could it be that the fear your God holds over your head is nothing more than a self-serving lie? Hmmmmmm.

I was there last weekend they where having a festival called "Southern Gospel Picnic".

It is very family oriented and is in a setting around 1880 in the Ozark mountains. The theme park was full of gospel music through out the entire place. I thought about the different types of people on this site and wondered how many of them would take a place such as this taking time for the gospel.

Would it be a sin to go to a nude beach, or be naked in other places where it's not against the law? What about a nudist colony...yes, there's even a Christian nudist colony out there. (Crazy quakers.) In the 500 years after Christ died, they performed mass baptisms without a single article of clothing.

Is there any reason that would be a sin? Is this about causing someone to "stumble"?

Would you criticize them?

I have an acquaintance who is a stay-at-home dad. The other day, I was at the grocery store with him. He struck up a conversation with an older woman in line behind him in which this fact was brought up. She said that he should be a man and take care of his family the way a man should.

If you were to stand before God on judgment day and realize that He is the truth, and that His word ( The Holy Bible) is truth, that salvation is only through Jesus Christ would you be given a second chance?

All beliefs must be based on evidence. This is a fact. Therefore if you try to claim you don't require evidence to believe something, you're lying to yourself. For example: If you believe in the Judeo Christian God, you *require* evidence to hold this belief. If you didn't use evidence on which to base your beliefs you wouldn't even know about the Judeo Christian God. The evidence you probably rely on is: a) ancient texts b)religious teachings, and (possibly) c) personal observations.

All very unreliable forms of evidence. Personally, I believe that religious people know this and through a twisted "sour grapes" method of thinking, claim they don't require evidence..which is knowingly impossible and therefore a lie.

R/S is like a large pond.
All types of animals come to the pond.
Some come to get a drink and quench their thirst.
Some come to submerge themselves and cool off.
Some defecate in the pond and at times this makes the water undrinkable.
Some come to the pond and when they find others there drinking they then pounce on them and try to devour them, much like the lions do at the watering holes in Africa.

We must be like the swan.
The swan dips its bill into the water, strains all the filth out and consumes that which is clean and clear.
The swan also swims on the surface, and with the oils on its feathers, allows all of the filth to run off back into the pond.

Let us all develop the qualities of the swan, allowing none of the dirty water to bother us!

In Luke 1:28, the angel greets Mary, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you." The phrase "full of grace" is a translation of the Greek word kecharitomene.

The traditional translation, "full of grace," is better than the one found in many versions of the New Testament, which state "highly favored daughter." Mary was indeed a highly favored daughter of God, but the Greek implies more than that and never mentions "daughter." Kecharitomene is a perfect passive participle of charitoo, meaning "to fill or endow with grace." Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the not a result of the angel’s visit. In fact, it extended over the whole of her life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying grace from the first moment of her existence.

Read this question box and the answer given to the Witnesses. They are told not to do too much independent research and rather to read the Watchtower's writings instead in this months Kingdom Ministry. Did you notice that most of the JW's here only use the watchtower.org as a reference?

P.S. You yahoo JW's shouldn't be here, it says so right your Kingdom Ministry. Do not take part in debate groups.
