If you like the KJV please explain your ecclesiology. Does your church have a bishop, elders, deacons, anything else?

God is a theme, man is another, sin and redemption a third ,,, share the main themes of the holy scriptures that you see and think matter.

As far as I know I am the only regular Catholic in here.

The accuser is often considered our adversary. The name Satan is commonly associated with this role. However, many individuals partake in the act of accusation, aiming to harm those they accuse. In my view, if we do have enemies, they are the ones who levy accusations against us.

If mercy were deserved, it would not be mercy; similarly, if grace were deserved, it would not be grace. Certain Bible translations employ the term "undeserved kindness" or an equivalent phrase to convey the concept of grace, serving as a useful reminder that grace is not earned. In my view...

If their assertion conflicts with a passage or multiple passages from the holy scriptures, inquire how they reconcile their claim with the revelations of the scriptures, citing the specific passages. This approach may provide insight into their perspective and future intentions.

I agree with you that tub thumping laws and rules is a bad idea when helping someone who is depressed. The concept of Law and grace can be perplexing. Some evangelicals draw a stark contrast between the Old Covenant and the New, leading to the impression that the Law was negative and that the...

How does a law/gospel distinction relate to The Joint Declaration Between the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation on the Doctrine of Justification?

Catholic Dogma, which means Christian teaching, is defined by various documents produced by the Catholic Church over the past two thousand years (approximately). Here is a brief summary of the views expressed on Dogma across the Catholic Church's sui juris churches. First, I shall list the rites...

None in here. CH is not a Catholic confessional ;)

One's own sins, especially the secret ones.

I offered an example of what I mean by hate.

Long live the proletariat posters! ;)

It was produced (or published for sale) by whom? This is more widely used Once, the Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered, “The coming of the kingdom of God will not occur with signs that can be observed. 21 Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For...

Do you believe that hating some person, or especially some group damages your soul. As an example, I will mention that many people who have YouTube channels devoted to debunking Jehovah's witnesses, most of these channels present facts and are run by individuals who seek to help former JWs or...

not among ourselves, but perhaps face to face with our pastor (priest in my case) but before offering a criticism take the time to talk with your priest and see what's behind whatever you think of as a fault.

Decreased judgementalism, increased wisdom and increased kindness. Growth in prayer life, growth in tolerance of differences. Loss of the need to be the centre of attention. Those are some of the things I've seen and like to see.

I can't take these posts seriously. It's just repeating the weak semi-fundamentalist argument made before, without any attempt to deal with the difference between Dogmatic Statement and catechetical explanations. Have at it, @Josiah, see who you can convince by these remarkably bad arguments.

Nonsense 😆 For example, the dogma of the immaculate conception is still exactly as it was when first committed to writing but explanation of the dogma and catechesis about it varies from nation to nation and from language to language. Thus, there is an abundance of modification but no change...

One is pleased that one is not bound by your interpretations.
