When the priests gives his sermon after the gospel does he get to decide the interpretation of the text or is that too handed down from the first christians.

When you become a Christian does Jesus bring peace to all of your family?

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:34-39

I’m thinking something along the lines of Mom sitting down with little Johnny and little Suzie, “Children; as a Christian, I believe that Jesus was the son of God…(etc) but there are plenty of other people out there, in fact two thirds of humanity, who don’t believe this at all. There is no evidence for my beliefs just like there is no evidence for any other religion but people still believe it…” To me this would be a completely honest way of introducing religion to children, but is this how you guys do it? If you don’t do it this way, you do realize that you’re not being completely honest and anything less that complete honesty is a lie?

I mean if you are a practicing catholic and you went to war against another nation and killed catholics ,wouldn't that be a bad thing, since Jesus said his true followers would have love amongst themselves?

It is my oldest son's Patron Saint's Feast day and we are looking for a good Catholic way to observe it. Also does anyone have any prayer requests? I am attending Adoration and Mass in the morning and would love to prayer for anyone. Merry Christmas!
Peace Be With You,
Debra

that everyone is right?

Can science and religion truly complement each other?

Is it possible that all religions are merely different paths to the same end?

All references that I can find say that God is one. I cannot even find the phrase "persons in the Godhead". I hear this stated a lot. Could somebody please tell me where this comes from.

Have you ever attended a Mass? Read the Catechism? Done any study on what the Church ACTUALLY teaches rather than just listen to your anti-Catholic friends?

Almost always Jesus is presented in artwork looking like like this, albeit with vague differences:

I've seen this from time to time. People spelling god or God as "G-d". Is this supposed to show reverence? It was my understanding that "god" is a title, not a proper name so why do some people spell it this way?

The bible people read isn't authentic because it is copied. There is nothing to stop an individual from deleting or altering verses in the bible during its duplication. There is no way to know if the bible is authentic unless the individual has read the very first bible that ever came to be.

My question:

"If I were converted to Christianity with lies, would God accept me if I converted other people to Christianity with the same lies?"

It can be said that fooling people without being aware of it is called ignorance.

A device that could accurately measure the holiness of any book would show which book is right! Is it the Torah, one of the Christian Bibles, the Koran, or possibly something else? All we need is a working Holyometer, and there can be an end to the bickering (unless, of course, none of the books are holy, but how could that many people possibly be wrong?)
