Maybe this isn't a very important question, but I've always wondered where all the different Christian churches and denominations came from. I know some people say they only differ in minor details, but why don't they agree on everything?

There is only one Bible, so why so many churches?

Well please don't report me for answering my own question, but today is the feast day of St. John Chrysostom.

Endeared as one of the four great doctors of the Church, St. John Chrysostom was born in 347 in Antioch, Syria and was prepared for a career in law under the renowned Libanius, who marveled at his pupil's eloquence and foresaw a brilliant career for his pupil as statesman and lawgiver. But John decided, after he had been baptised at the age of 23, to abandon the law in favour of service to the Saviour. He entered a monastery which served to educate him in preparation for his ordination as a priest in 386 AD.

Do you any of you have a devotion to St. John Chrysostom?

PRAYER: "Oh St. John Chrysostom , friend of God and servant of Jesus, pray for us to the Lord our God, that we may become humble servants of Christ as you were while you lived among us. Amen."

As I understand it, within the Roman Catholic Church there are different Orders, Jesuit, Dominican, but are there others? And what's the difference between them?

For those that "have" more shall be given. For those who don't have, what they have will be taken from them.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Logic is wasted on the illogical.

It’s quite obvious that Eurus the wind God didn't have a good day, I mean, just look out the window! I hope he calms down soon before my barbecue blows away.

Even with Eurus' out, it still seems that Helios is making the sun shine quite brightly. Of course, you obviously know that Helios is the sun god.

Well... just my luck, a couple of hours and then Hespera, Goddess of the dusk will come out and play, how fun. I just hope she doesn't get sleepy and make dusk fall late today.

I hope Morpheus gives you sweet dreams tonight, well, that all depends on what he feels like.

Chow everyone, and may Hygea bring you good health.

Because that is why you are able not to believe in Him.Because you exist and you can't see Him to believe that He exists.If it was not for God you would not be here.Let me make this clear.THIS DOES NOT MEAN I DONT LOVE YOU ANY LESS.Because You are a human being with feelings just like me or anyone else.And if I were you I would believe like you.Christians are no better than you.Christians are just forgiven.Because all of us sin.But it is the admitting of that sin that sets you free.And it is believing in Jesus.That He is real.Love you all Cindy.And P.S. If I offended anyone I am sorry.I am just explaining how I feel.Just like you have your right to tell everyone how you feel.Love Cindy.

I don't like to work. It takes away my time for spirituality. I think my time is better spent poolside, under the palm trees, with an icy cold vanilla vodka, contemplating the universe and all of creation. I went to work the other day, and, I had forgotten how bad it can be. I mean, they make you do stuff. I don't want to do stuff. I want to relax. I think it is almost time to throw on a couple of steaks, would you like to come over?

I've been here for about 7 months, and I really have become disinterested with Y!A in general. Same old questions, every day. I think I'll be taking a sabatical for a few weeks. I'll still check my 360 and email though if anyone wants to contact me.

See ya around

I've always believed in Jesus and wanted to live for Him since I was a little child. But a friend of mine says I should be able to point to a definite time when I gave my heart to Jesus, and if I can't do that (which he can), then I'm not a real Christian.

Is this true? It really worries me.

I am often amazed at the answers protestants give regarding certain teachings from the Catholic Church (i.e. purgatory, confession, etc.). I see it all the time and its always the same old tripe: "it was an invention of the dark ages", or "the Council of Trent made it up", or something along those lines. Have you ever studied early christian writings from the first 3 or 4 centuries, by men such as Clement of Rome, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and others? Did you know that there are hundreds of protestant ministers (yes, ministers) who say that there conversion to the Catholic faith was cemented by reading the writings of these early christians? Do you study such things, or do you just parrot what you read in poorly written anti-Catholic tracts? Study the early fathers - you may be in for the surprise of your life when you find out that the first Christians believe what Catholics believe today.

as far as i know about free will , we are given free will so we won't act like robot right ?

anyway, i can safely say that because of free will , our default destination is hell , and only when we accept Jesus , then we go heaven right?
and because we are given free will , we can choose to go heaven right ?

but if god love us so much , why not also give us the free will , and the default destination is heaven , and we only go hell if we choose to accept certain thing ?

get what i mean ?

when i say accept , i don't mean that when you reject something , you automatically accept the other.

else when we all reject satan , we automatically accept Jesus

When a Christian accepts an award, thanks Jesus, and then performs some song with lyrics that I can't even repeat here, isn't that like doing the same thing - saying in essence, "No one had less to do with this than Jesus"?

Not to sound like a prude, but seems we should look inward instead of only condemning Kathy for such blasphemy...

Not trying to offend, just genuinely want to know what you think.

To work together as a nation to reduce and eliminate abortion by preventing unwanted pregnencies?

We would need education, both on abstinance and other means of preventing pregency.

I know the most liberal of democrats would be more than happy to work towards this goal. Will the right wing go along?

Or will they say that birth control is 'ungodly'. And if they work to deprive us of the tools needed to stop UWP, aren't they guilty of continuing the abortion mills also?

a few months ago I lost my uncle to suicide we were really close. He was very into his faith but felt let down. Now that he's gone I feel let down by faith. I feel like god wasn't there for him and took him away from me. Is this a normal feeling and if it is how do I make it go away?

that spoil the lies? Today I had to stand up for the Church that I have nothing to do with to a born-again co-worker who clearly didn't develop throughly after being born the first time. Anyways so she had these ridculous accusations about catholic doctrine, and it's sad that me an atheist would know more about anything that has to do with the church her sect split from, it's like not knowing where you came from. Anyways I run into situations like this a lot (ignorant protestants) especially since I was raised one of these clowns and was very much misinformed, so I'm wondering before your going to attack the doctrine why don't you guys go to a catechist class to actually learn what the doctrine is!?
