How can she hear if she is only human? In fact the Cathos seem to spend more time praying to her than to God - take the rosary for example.

I read a question on here that said "Can a person who is not “born again” be saved?"

do you get born again and then saved or what? The only way I can understand the difference, if there is a difference, is that you must be born again by the Spirit (sancitified i.e. set apart) upon acceptance of Christ, and that process of sanctification, being made holy, continues until the point where Jesus returns to judge and the person is "saved"

The bible talks about being saved now and those who are being saved (which refers to sanctification and Christian growth as we await Christ's return) later i think. i don't know what to do, i haven't a clue?!

Is it normal to still have feelings for someone who a month a go pretty much told you he was interested in someone else after we had been "dating" for about a year. It hurt how insensitive he was towards my feelings at first, but God has helped me tremendously in the healing department. I have tried to stay busy, surround myself with friends and fam, and exercise, but on the occasional downtown i still wonder if he is doing ok. He has tried to make subtle contact with me through im msgs, but I havent responded. i think this would hinder my healing process. Still Im having trouble getting over this person, any inspirational advice? Adult answers please. Thanks guys.

I was reading my Bible and like I do every day and found a passage that said:

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours"
-Mark 11:22, 24

I decided to pray for a better paycheck and a new car, my old car is really old. I prayed for these things like 15 minutes ago and they still aren't here. I even asked God for a speedy delivery. What should I do, I know the Bible is the word of God and therefore everything is true, so it must be something on my end right? Please answer quickly, I'm going to the movies in a few minutes and want to show off my new wheels, so please help, its an emergency.

I figured that spiritually my wife is pretty weak (she's atheist) and i feel it is affecting her life.
I want to strengthen her spiritual muscles and looking for some ideas.
It will be a long process so looking for some real good lifelong ideas.

By the way, I also found that i am very weak in social or society and she is going to train me to get better with that.

hopefully it makes our marriage stronger.

First there was supposed to be Adam and Eve, right?

And everybody had sex with each other to start the human race, right?

And then all the inbreds got down and dirty and wicked and God got pissed off and ordered a flood, right?

So the world was flooded and everybody who was naughty and couldn't hold their breath for 40 days and nights, croaked, right?

And the only survivors were Noah and his crew, right?

So, if that's the story ... then we are descendants of NOAH!

Right?

In your opinion, what separates us as humans where religion and spirituality come in, and what can we do to change that?

Thank you for answering...~:0)

if it is true, what kind of god do these Bible-fundamentalists have, doesn't their ever get satisfied? I thought to believe in Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior is enough to be saved, why are Catholics an exception when Catholics believe in the Divinity of Jesus Christ as well?

Mt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. {they...: or, his name shall be called}
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Ro 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(KJV)

I understand how you see praying to saints and I am not condemning you. However I was reading an answer earlier and it made me think. In Ecclesiastes we are told the dead have no more portion in anything done under the sun. If they heard your request for prayer and interceded with Jesus for you wouldn't they be playing a role in what happens on Earth?

Ecc 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Please stick to this verse and interpretations of it. I really am not asking for a history of praying to saints not 10 million verses about it. I just want an opinion on this verse and praying to saints.
