Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

if you want to believe something, then believe it. but don't pretend that that it has any basis in reality when there is no evidence to support that view.

I saw the CNN special on extremists of all faiths, but lets be honest, the most numerous, destructive and murderous terrorists are Muslim.
I don't see many or any Christians or Jews murdering, bombing and instilling terror.
Their faiths do not call for killing infidels.
Please stop fooling yourselves into believing all "fundamentalists" are equally dangerous. It's a lie and cannot be supported by facts.
If you have facts, lets see them.
Be specific.

A wise person once said,

"If you want the truth, ask an old person, a child, or a crazy person. They're the only ones who will give it to you straightforward."

I just dont understand this concept. Can someone please explain? Do Catholics have a different bible that they go by?
Because no where in my bible (King James) does it say to pray to Mary, or anyone else other than the Lord.
Can someone clear this up for me and help me understand where Catholics came up with this?

I haven't had the flu for almost nine years, but I got hit with it pretty bad last Thursday. I'm so sick. I missed two days of work, and I still feel terrible. If you could take just a minute and pray for me, I'd appreciate it. I'm feeling lonely and just so helpless today. Your prayers and kindness would be much appreciated.

Some attribute this to Mahatma Gandhi. He must have learned it from a Christian friend. You see. The Book of Jude was written around 65 C.E.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Verse 21, Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the ((love of God,))--- loving the sinner.

Verse 23, ((hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.))---
hating the sin.

Truth and seniority have dominant position.

You guys read this story? He tried hiding his face and having his voice changed so he could not be recognized:

"But the suspended prelate made the mistake of giving the televised interview in his Vatican office, which was identified by other staff."

I think thats funny. Couldn't he have told the film crew or whatever to put one of those black background things behind him? Kinda dumb.

Do you think the Vatican did the right thing, whether you support homosexuality or not? I do, specifically because of this part of the article:

"In the interview, he said that he did not regard himself as a sinner"

That is the problem. Jude 1:4 says we cannot change the grace of God into a license for immorality. Peter says we can live as free men, but do not use our freedom as a cover-up for evil. And in Matthew 23 Jesus has a long rant on the hypocrisy of the priests. You cannot say, "I am a Christian so I can sin". We have to have a conviction of our sins, or else why need Christ?

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator

Why do I get aroused when I see videos of girls making out? And how come I felt more sexually satisfied with my ex-girlfriend (from college) than with this last guy I dated? Does anybody here have a similar experience/dilemma? You think I'm a lesbo?
