didn't bible warn you that God would use what the world considers foolish in order to shame the rich and powerful? But God is also said to win His war against mighty rulers, so wish God luck.

I am kind of curious to see what people think on this. This question is specifically about me. I often question traditions of the Catholic church on here. However in my mind I do not bash Catholics. Just question some of your traditions. What do the Catholics on here think? Do you consider me to be bashing you?

Tonight I managed to remind myself of an old friend on here, Gnostic.

After revealing that 'she' was in fact 'he', he then proceeded to disappear completely. I have checked, and there is no longer any evidence that such a person existed on my 360.

I mean, surely it's not that big a deal to say you are someone else, as long as you show your real self, which I believe Gnostic did. His message was straight and true, even if his gender wasn't. Okay, the last couple of weeks he wasn't very kind to us (he lied about something very serious), but I guess I managed to just look past that and forgive the few white lies.

Please, Gnostic (I forget the real name you gave), if you are out there, you still have people here who need your admirable ways. One or two lies may be lies after all, but a heart of gold can never be replaced.

Hey everybody,

I was wondering if somebody could help me out. Most of my Christian life, I have heard about this Great Apostasy that occurred right after the Apostles died and from this Great Apostasy the Catholic church was born. My question is does anybody know of any historical evidence to back up this claim? Thanks and God bless you all.

You say god gave us free will. I assume that would include choosing wether or not to believe in god. So why is it that god would punish someone for using the free will he gave them by damning them to hell?

If god is all knowing wouldn't he know there would be atheists, and if he's all loving why the unforgivable sin? How can this possibly make sense?

ARKANSAS CITY (AP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.

"She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.

"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force,"said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blowup dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him.

Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.

When asked for comments about the twelve dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

I have often heard this from theists when they're responding to people who say there is no evidence for the existence of God. If you believe that faith must precede the evidence, don't you think this type of approach can likely lead to a self fulfilling prophecy? If you already have sure faith that something is true, you're going to construe whatever you find to fit your faith, don't you think? Wouldn't making up your mind after reviewing the evidence be a much more accurate method?

I grew up in the pre-trib school, but, for reasons I couldn't quite nail down, was never entirely comfortable with it. Recently, I've re-read the New Testament and compared what Jesus and the apostles taught with the events described in Revelation, and I am now heavily leaning toward the pre-wrath view.

The reason for this change is that I do not believe that the entire seven year Tribulation period is the wrath of God (from which the church is exempt). I think that scripture teaches that the wrath of God begins with what is termed "the Day of the Lord," which, if you compare what Jesus taught to what we see in Revelation, seems to come with the opening of the 7th seal. And, not coincidentally I think, just prior to that we read of "a great number, which no man could number of all nations" standing before God. I think this may very well picture what follows the rapture.

The following site really helps explain this view: http://members.aol.com/chursey/prewrath.htm

Not the beliefs but the church itself. Those in power i.e. The Vatican.

I would say what I feel but I have been reported so many times for anti-catholicism remarks perhaps it would be better if I sit back and listen.

Salvation

The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and the wages of sin is death. (Romans 3:23; 6:23) God has given us the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ and therefore granted us salvation. (Romans 6:23). This gift of Salvation comes by grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8) There is nothing we can do to earn Salvation we can only accept his mercy and be born again and renewed by the Holy Spirit. (Titus 3:3-6; John 3:5)

How does a person accept God's Gift?
Believe- You believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God and he was raised from the dead (John 3:16; Romans 10:9)
Repent- You seek forgiveness and turn away from sin. (Acts 2:38, 3:19)
Confess- You confess Jesus Christ as Lord. (Romans 10:9-13; Matthew 10:32)
Baptism- You get baptized ("immersed") into Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the receiving of the Holy Spirit. (Mark 16:16; John 3:5; Acts 2:38, 22:16; Galatians 3:26-29; 1 Peter 3:21)
