I read the New Testament and was baptised by the Holy Spirit spontaneously 18 hours later. Life hasn't been the same since I've been transformed but I'll never change back to the Roman Catholic that I was from the Gnostic Christian I now am. My mind is silent and restful in God.

What was your experience and the circumstances? How has it changed your life?

Redoing this question b/c wasn't detailed enough last time.

How does a holy image suddenly appear in this world, with colors not available to mankind?
On December 9 (then the Feast of the Immaculate Conception), Our Blessed Mother appeared for the first time to a recent convert, St. Juan Diego, on Tepeyac Hill. She asked that a house be built on Tepeyac where she would hear the weeping and sorrow of all those who had confidence in her. She promised to remedy and alleviate all the sufferings and misfortunes of the people. She asked that this message be taken by St. Juan Diego to the Bishop. After returning to see the Bishop several times, St. Juan Diego was asked to bring proof that this message was authentic. After hearing the Bishop’s request, Mary instructed St. Juan Diego to climb to the top of Tepeyac Hill and there he would find a garden of flowers. He was to pick them and bring them to her. St. Juan Diego did as Our Lady requested, transporting the flowers, wrapped

Namaste
An Indian friend of mine told me that at the age of 60, a married pair is supposed to put away the duties of a householder and turn to God from that point on.
Could you please advise me what does this involve? And, why is it adopted? Is it in preparation for travelling to the next world, so that the journey is a smooth one?
And, is one not supposed to be turned Godwards in all ones Asramas... whether Brahmachari, or householder, or whatever is appropriate for ones age?
Or is it possible to concentrate more fully at age 60 and upward?

With thanks for your answers

If the Lord be God, follow Him, if Baal, follow Him. 1 Kings chapter 18 v 22.

May you answer by God's Spirit in your heart. There are indeed 3 classes of people. Those who know God, and love and serve Him, those who are outwardly evil, and those who halt between two opinions.

Choose you this day whom you will serve!

lets say this catholic who is 80 at the time of his or her death was a devout catholic for 72 years of their life and prayed the rosary daily for as many years. That would be 50 hail maries a day for 72 years. Which means he or she would have prayed over 1.3 million hail maries., Will that catholic go to heaven? And if not, then what good were all the hail maries he or she prayed?

I know many people have asked similar questions, but I heard that a woman prayed to Pope John and was healed, and this evidence will be used to fast track his sainthood. She was healed by Pope John????

Catholic say they do not pray to saints or to Idols or Mary, they only ask these spirits to pray with them or for them. Assuming I buy that, then I have to ask why/

Why ask a spirit to pray for you instead of praying directly to God? What is the point of asking a priest to forgive you when you can just ask God? Why does the catholic church keep piling on the middlemen?

Why send a message through the secretary when the boss' door is open?

What about John14:6, I am the way, the truth and the light, no man comes unto the father but by me?

This whole issue stinks of 1st commandment violation, idolotry, phariseeism and witchcraft, but I'll put that aside. All I want to know, is what is the necessity for the middlemen.

First, I want the younger and naive readers to know something about me, that will really confuse them...I am a very loving and compassionate person who loathes racism.

Now, Ive heard of racists who claim to be good people, but Ive never heard a racist say they hate racism, they always try to say "everyones racist" or quibble over the definition.

Islam is a what....A RELIGION!!! Now...listen close...religion is nothing more than a SUBCATEGORY OF "BELIEF". You wouldnt say "all beliefs are inherently good" would you? You wouldnt say "well, the SS soliders who stuffed jews in ovens were just not applying true Nazism". The reason why you wouldnt say something soooo stupid is because you know that the doctrines of NAZISM were the root cause or source of the problem....right!

I saw every sin and every virtue. Then it was just white light, i tried to shut my eyes but the I still saw the light. I see my dead grandfather on the other end. Jesus was standing beside him. Charles Darwin with in there too.

Sorry to disappoint you guys.

OK, you know how everyone is faced with all these questions about "Why did God cover 3/4 of the world in water?" or "If God had a puppy, what would He name it?" or "Why did God create Hitler?" and then as we try to discover its truth through our various religions, the atheists are always talking down on us for being so stupid. Well I think I have the answer to harmony between us.- The atheists should create a holiday just for themselves- like Kwanzaa!- You know, they could sit around and and draw pictures of the evolution of apes into humans, they could sing "Silent Night, Nonholy Night...," and they could even exchange gifts wrapped in popular science articles! Oh it will be a beautiful festival! I think they give us a hard time b/c they feel left out- they have no way to direct their happy thoughts. So how about it? I think it's an awesome solution to the wedge thats been driven between us. What are your thoughts? Any different suggestions? Please, let us be happy together!

Ok, from my observations, there are 3 common types of Christians:
1. Those who leave those of other religions alone
2. Those who worry about Hell and will tell their close friends/family members about Jesus in hopes of saving them, but hope God will still send them to Heaven or have mercy on them or whatever
3. Those that are crazed about coverting people. You know the kind.

My question is, how does one get from Step 2 to Step 3?
Are there certain personalities that just like to boss others around that are more likely to be the third type of Christian? Or does something happen to them in their head to make them obsessed with converting others?

Jesus did not make converting people his main thesis. But these third type of Christians take it upon themselves to. Why do you think that is?
