I'm asking respectfully. I believe Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox are saved through Jesus.

Some people are full of mistrust toward the Catholic Church. Why do they accept the Gospels that the Catholic Church chose? There were plenty of other "gospels" in circulation. The Church could've altered them to "prove" their doctrines. In fact, not altering them proves the Church's faithfulness.

"By the turn of the 5th century the Catholic Church in the west under Pope Innocent I recognized a biblical canon including the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which was previously established at a number of regional Synods, namely the Council of Rome (382), the Synod of Hippo (393), and two Synods of Carthage (397 and 419). This canon, which corresponds to the modern Catholic canon, was used in the Vulgate, an early 5th century translation of the Bible made by Jerome under the commission of Pope Damasus I in 382." -

Any strange experiences? Doesn't matter what it is. Strangest thing you've seen some one do, strangest thing you've done, strange anything.

Please welcome and make her feel at home among the hills of Bonny Scotland. Ms. Jilly has arrived to take over the running of McTealc Towers. The previous incumbent of the post is having a short break at the Michael Douglas Rehabilitaion Centre for Un-Becoming Addictions.

No doubt Ms. Jilly will be making known her plans for the staffing of the hotel. Gladys is refusing any other duties other than the kitchen and the four Mexican lads who assist her in the the wine celler.

What Ms. Jillys plans are for security now that McTealc has found full time employment as The Scottish Stud Muffin - in direct competition with The Italian Stallion - is yet to be decided.

Ms. JustMe is still behind the bar - something she is very used to since her small mis-understanding at the bank and the fact that she had a shotgun in her hand at the time of a withdrawal.
It is advisable to make known your drinks order before noon as supplies run low by then due to Ms JustMe starting to drink at 7am.

It isn't easy to end up in hell, heaven built a barricade. An old wooden cross and rusty ole nails.

There is a cross in your way, a wall of mercy and grace.
There's just one way your soul can be lost, you gotta trample the blood, climb over the cross.
No it's not easy to stray, there is a cross in your way.


Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

Transgression is rebellion, plain and simple.
Christian reading this, come home, He is calling, "come home."

Every one of us needs to feel loved.
He created us because of that? He had that need?
If yes... does He still have that need?

Refuse to celebrate "pagan" holidays and birthdays because of their roots but DO take part in wedding traditions that have roots in "evil"....?? Some examples include:
Bouquet- Wedding bouquets were originally made of such strong herbs as thyme and garlic, which were meant to frighten away evil spirits.
Bouquet Toss- The Bride's tossing of her bouquet grew from her desire to offer a good luck souvenir.
Bridesmaids- Early Brides and Bridesmaids wore similar dresses in order to confuse evil spirits.
Wedding Ring- According to some historians, the first recorded marriage rings date back to the days when early man tied plaited circlets around the Bride's wrists and ankles to keep her spirit from running away.
Bridal Veil/Headpiece- A woman's face covered by a veil used to indicate she was spoken for. The bride also wore a veil as a disguise so that evil spirits believed to be lurking at the ceremony would not recognize her and do her harm.

PLEASE, no rehearsed answers you've been taught.

How often I have heard people say that. But where is the logic in that? Why must there be a Hell simply because there is a heaven? My only interest is an answer to the question not whether Heaven and Hell exist.

I am a new christian and still trying to clear my beliefs. Something that always confuses me is cavemen. One example: the Bible says God gave us different languages so we wouldn't be as powerful as him. Yet science and history shows that cavemen did not have a real language and over time people developed a way of communicating with each other. It's all so confusing and I was hoping someone could clear it up for me. thanks in advance

some Christians answered yes ... that they are sinners
now a serious question please
where you raised with people telling you this ?
parents , preachers etc ?
what does this do to your self esteem ?
do you not believe that God created you in his image .. therefore you are wonderful beings ?

I just struggle with this
I think people are amazing with amazing potential
I teach my children that they are amazing... that they can make a difference in this world
and the only way we can make this world better is to believe in ourself and to believe in others

do you struggle with this ?
what do you teach your children in regards to this ?
help me understand , thank you xx

I'm almost always a few minutes late for church. How late is too late?

Should I just skip it if I can't make it on time? Is it distracting to you and does it affect your worship if I come in a few minutes late? I have to take two little children and two disabled seniors, so that is why we are often late to church.
