How do we know that the Holy Eucharist is a true sacrifice? What did Jesus say about this sacrament?

Let's ignore the fact that Darwin did not develope the Theory of
Evolution, (just for information purposes it was the principles of Natural Selection that he proposed) where did you hear/read that Darwin recanted. I'm about to get my BS in Biology and in my entire educational career I have never heard of this, I have breifly read a biography on Darwin. So please inform me as to where you get your information about this, because I have found several sites that claim this without proof, and I've found several that claim his recanting was just a hoax. For instance the following site: http://www.youdebate.com/DEBATES/creation_darwin_recant.HTM

As christians we don't worship idols, the Bible is a holy book, but if someone wants to desacrate it (& muslims will do that) we don't take it as a personal offence to God just a stupid act by someone

"I believe in one God." Those are words of the Apostle's Creed. We know from the scriptures that God is one don't we? Over the centuries, Israel's faith was able to manifest and deepen realization of the riches contained in the revelation of the divine name, "I Am who Am." God is unique; there are no other gods besides him. (Isaiah 44:6). Do you believe this? Why or why not?

I am specifically asking Catholics, but any Christian opinion is welcome.

I am discerning the Diaconate and need to find a spiritual director. How do I find one and what should I look for? What will this person do for me, specifically. Also, should this person not be a member of my parish, since the archdiocese will be asking my parish, or does it matter?

Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

300 years after Christ the early church scourred the middle east, Europe and Africa looking for ancient documents, which they gathered up, authenticated, sorted out, debated what should and should not be included to create this Book we call the Bible and then copied it all painstakingly by hand. All a monumental and time consuming task, not the easiest thing to do. At the time most people couldn't read or write, very few Bibles would have been in existance and the church was not to know that so many of us would become literate. Christianity had followed an oral tradition and continued even after the Bibles creation. So why did they decide to create a Bible?

and then ignore scientific evidence that's disproves their beliefs?

God gave the scientists the knowledge and ability to prove the world is millions of years old (if not billions) yet christians (who claim that god itself gave these people their abilities) won't believe it?

when their son/daughter is on a mission, with the new living arrangements and all?
It seems to me that would be a big cost savings for the church and they would be able to reduce the monthly amount.
It could easily be covered by tithing money.

I was reading the Bible the other day and came across the passage whens Jesus says that only in his hometown is a prophet not welcome...or something like that.

What's bothering me is that he called himself a prophet. I feel like at some parts of the Bible Jesus is undoubtedly the Son of the Trinity, and at others he is just a prophet like John the Baptist. Can someone help?

God would like it.
IT'S RUDE TO CALL GOD ANOTHER NAME BESIDES GOD in DEFINITION. We are God's children. We should call him GOD, cause we are no equal to GOD saying GOD's name is like being equal to GOD.
exp.
It's like having your kids calling you by your first name if your an adult as a parent. Would you like it? Bob? Bobby?

What is the role of women in Islam, also how are women seen in Islam? feel free to include anything else that you know about women in islam that you think would be good for people to know. This is mainly to Muslims and anyone who is well studied in the Islamic religion, people who wish to denounce the faith or use the bible to "disprove" islam please keep that to yourself, and please be respectful.

The Pope just made a decree allowing greater use of mass in Latin. Are the modernized Catholics willing to go to a Mass in which you have to kneel to receive Holy Communion, listen to Latin, not clap, not shake hands and kiss each other, hear the organ or other suitabe musical instruments instead of guitars...etc..?

I'm Catholic & have heard from the Church & the Bible that children are gifts from God. Also that we all have a purpose; that we're all part of God's plan. Also things like, 'children don't choose their parents, God chooses them for them'. I know couples that try to conceive for yrs & can't & wonder why God won't let them. Then there are people that have 6 kids, are on drugs, alcohol & beats or even kill their children. And others that get pregnant every time they have sex & get abortions because they aren't ready to be a parent yet. My list goes on.

My problem/question is: "Children are a gift from God". God wants us to be married & conceive children from our love. I wasn't conceived that way. Am I a "gift" from God or am I here becuz my parents had drunken sex?

I know God loves me and every person. He started mankind with Adam and Eve. But after Adam and Eve, aren't we just here becuz of sex and if our bodies can function correctly? I'd like your honest input. Thank you!

"If you are so loving and powerful why did you let such horrible things happen to the people your son died for"? Since I can't ask him I'll ask all you Christians this question, and please don't give me your standard answer that I hear every time I ask someone this question, "God gave us free will"
