I am a strong Catholic and I love my faith. I do not understand why Protestants believe that if you profess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, no matter what you do, you can't undo your salvation if you truly believe it. Protestants accuse Catholics of "making things up," but nowhere in the bible does it say to do the above to be saved. Jesus did say "He who endures to the end will be saved," ( Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46) which means that one's final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. I do believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, but I do not believe that is all we must do to gain eternal happiness. This is what I have heard from my non-Catholic friends. Is this what you believe?

If you answer this, please do not bash the Catholic Church, just explain what you think. I would love to hear your opinion.

If you understand variations of species which had been explained under The Origin of Life, then you may accept your human fellows who were born with that kind of personality, not that they were straight at birth then go act against their nature.

Is this what God had taught you how to treat human fellows?

Is there some small way that you were able to enjoy something that isn't man made?

Are you like "Wow you're named Jesus? You must be a nice guy!" Or does it not even phase you and it's just another name?

It is amazing how African Americans can be so fervent for Christianity and so against Islam, when more than likely Islam is the religion of our forefathers.

How true can the American version of Christianity be if it was put upon us by a hateful , meanspirited group of slave owners who viewed us as less than human (or at least 3/5 of a human being, as stated in the Declaration of Independence)???.

And looking at this board, it seems that the hatefulness hasn't changed in 400 years. The only thing that has changed is the number of blacks who have "Stockholm Syndrome"...

American blacks should heed the call of Islam, and return to your natural religion...

Is it representative of an actual being like a Father or a Son... or is it more of an idea or concept? Why does it rank up there with god and jesus? And please don't quote any scripture to me or try to convert me! I'm just a curious bystander.

What do the Jews have to do with the End of Days that they are wishing for? Do you think the support for Israel is dubious? Don't they know that Lebanon is a Country filled with Christians? Why would Christians support a Jewish State like Israel when it comes at the expense of putting thousands of Christians in danger?

Pretty simple question. It seems to me that since they do see the other religious figures as prophets as well (moses, jesus, etc.) they would still honor the 10 commandments. And what ever happened to 'thou shalt not kill' Did that not translate into arabic or something?

Please Think and Read.

Ok many of us know about the anti-christ. The anti-christ will come from the west somewhere in Europe/Middle East. He will dominate the world. To do that the world must be joined together. Also how he can be in controlled is by having the nations under one controll.

Leading up to this one controll we have this. [Probably but I am not saying that its true. I dont know how its going to happen. Putting all people under one nation I don't know but what about this]. E.U. because powerful as the U.S. With more and more countries entering EU they become more powerful than America. EU have Many of the oils in the Middle East, many of the resources, and trade. They challege America under a invisible war. (smaller scale than the cold war through the UN on issue) They have more people more money and more power. They controll the world almost. And America join in. [I ran out of space to write more of how we might join in.] So.......

What do You Think of This

What is the point? You slam one group or another point to websites that spew hate, lies and twisted facts. Every link you post bashing one group, someone can post dozens of links bashing yours. The hate eventually leads to violence and misery.

Do a search online on almost any group and you will find plenty of hate. Life is too short to spend it hating and untold millions have already suffered because of it.

Are you curious as to what's your purpose for being here? Why you were created? Why are you going through the things you are going through? Why do you feel lost? Are you loved? Is there truely a God in Heaven? Does Satan and hell exist? Even if I don't believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I still condemned or doomed?

Know your answers, know the facts, when in doubt read the Bible

The Holy Bible

I truly believe that many of the experiences and even unpleasant ones at that have made me who I am for better or worse. I try to let them make me better and not bitter. I have found that adversity and struggles are when I grow best. I do not mean to imply that all bad things are good for you just that most of what I have experienced has helped to shape me.How do you feel?

Do you honestly think someone would CHOOSE to suffer ignoramuses who tell them they will go hell just for being themselves? Do you think someone would choose to have to hide their humanity at risk of being threatened, belittled, disowned, and prejudiced against?
