Religion & Spirituality - 26 September 2007

I've seen more postings recently about Catholic practices. I wish I could answer them all, but I can't. I suggest to questioners that you go to Catholic Answers at http://www.catholic.com then look at the left sidebar: You will see many subjects. You can click on one and see tracts that will answer your questions. Also, the search engine will search 20 years worth of articles from "This Rock" magazine. There are a lot of great articles there too

The"official" Catechism Of The Catholic Church is online at: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/entiretoc1.htm
This is a difficult document to read. (The book is about three inches thick!) But, there is a wealth of information there too if you take the time to learn how to navigate it.

Please do not report me for not asking a legitimate question: I am only trying to help all the people who have behave been asking questions today.
If you read any of these links, I'd love to hear comments. (except for CJ's.)

being an athiest?

I ask, because I repeatedly hear claims that Hitler was a Catholic. Hitler was raised by Catholic parents but was by no means a practising Catholic.
If you choose to label Hitler as a Catholic is that because you feel that if you are born to Christians you are automatically a Christian or do only feel that way when it helps to support your claims?

Quotes from Hitler:

July 11, 1941: The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew.

October 19, 1941 :The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity.

December 13, 1941: When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease.

I am not a Christian, I am Catholic, and i am not very religious, however I believe we should all respect other people's religious beliefs, in ahoo find so many questions for Christians, as if they were trying to prove something. people are free to believe in anything they want as long as they don't offend, hurt, discriminate anyone or break the law.,
As far as I know Christians do none of the above. Have a little bit of tolerance.

If your FDS is not considered by you to be a false prophet...How then can you condem the Mormons for following Joseph Smith, or the Adventist's for following Ellen G. White?

Your Faithful and discrete slave claim that they are the only earthly voice for Jehovah on earth, and have been wrong in prophecy, time and time again...
Your FDS condem Smith and White for false prophesying...Is this not just another example of WBTS needing to take the rafter out of their own eye?



Note: FDS does not refer to feminine deoderant spray, but to the Faithful and Discrete Slave class....LOL Love the pun though.

And if you can't answer hypothetical or slightly surreal questions, don't answer at all.
The ability to give an honest, relevant and consistant answer to even the most bizarre questions is a clear sign of a working mind.

[ And yes, there is a reason why I'm asking this, but I'd rather see the responses before I tell anyone. ]

I can only speak from the Baptist point of view:

We believe in the Scriptures as 100% genuine and God-breathed.

We believe in eternal security for the true believer in Christ

We hold to Calvinism (or the acronym TULIP):

Basic Calvinism

T. Total Depravity: People are completely sinful and depraved and can do no good on their own

U. Unconditional election: Since people cannot choose for themselves, before the beginning of time, without any goodness on their part, God has chosen for Himself a select number of people to be counted as righteous.

L. Limited Atonement: The effects of God's atonement on sinful humanity is limited only to those he has chosen

I. Irresistible Grace: The grace God extends to the chosen cannot be refused since it has been decreed by God.

P. Perserverence of the Saints: (Once saved always saved): Since God has decreed the salvation of the elect, it cannot be changed.

Even their sex life?

I mean obedient Christians, who put God first over their life & then each other, then the family & then the career.

Why is it when they have sex that is more than being just one flesh but also being soul/spirit mates?
(Because they are both born of the Spirit, cleansed by His blood.)
