    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    Perhaps my answer was too direct and too long for you to cope with. Here is the short version. Murder and paedophilia are civil crimes to be dealt with by the civil authority. Adultery is a sin that very few denominations will treat as seriously as the Catholic Church does. In all cases it...

    Ok I am Catholic BUT

    I sit on my doorstep and pray; I have a wonderful book of prayers that always helps to set the tone of my prayers when I am sitting there listening to the wind and the bird song and watching the clouds drift by and the insects scurry around on the ground and some flying by. It's a wonderful way...

    Catholic Only Dogmas: There's something about Mary

    The Catholic Church defines nothing (absolutely nothing) as a prerequisite for salvation. The Catholic Church teaches that the faithful are saved by grace. Of course if one, having received sanctifying grace, later chooses to deny what the holy scriptures teach then the Church will very likely...

    Catholic Only Dogmas: There's something about Mary

    Yes, it is an odd thing about history that folk forget about it so quickly. A strictly 66 book bible in printed form did not become common in any language until some time around 1830 AD when (for cost and theological reasons) the British & Foreign Bible Society refused funding to bible societies...

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    Your chosen examples are rather dramatic. But here is my answerThere is an active adulterer,(Adultery is not a crime under the laws of the land and it is often difficult to detect. Such a person is likely to be in a congregation right now without anybody noticing.) paedophile(Paedophilic acts...

    Misunderstandings about religion

    Nobody inherits sin; the idea is absurd. But people do inherit mortality and mortality is part of the curse that came upon the creation as a result of sins; specifically the sins of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. People also inherit a propensity to sin. That's explained in Romans chapter...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    If I am in a court room where the tradition is to address the judge as "my lord" then I'd call the judge "my lord", if in a synagogue speaking with the rabbi I'd call him rabbi, if in a church with a pastor I'd call him pastor, if talking with my father I'd call him father (or maybe dad) these...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Perhaps that's where the problem lies. Choosing the bible - presumably you meant that you choose a 66 book bible that was handed down to you from the traditions of your forefathers in your chosen denomination - so that it contains only the materials from which your tradition builds doctrine is...

    "Lutheran only" or "Catholic only"

    If it was "Lutheran only" why mention "Catholic only"? Just saying ;)

    Misunderstandings about religion

    I not only encounter misunderstandings about my religion but I am frequently told by people what I allegedly believe and even after pointing out that these alleged beliefs of mine are in fact not my beliefs I then get told that I am wrong and that I do in fact believe whatever my interlocutor...

    What must I do to be saved?

    Nonsense. I am a Catholic and I am the one who said "I will hazard the opinion that all in this thread believe saints Paul and Silas." ... now if you want to write pretend Catholic responses you're doing a fine job but if you want for-real Catholic responses then the one I gave is the one to go...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I've yet to see God called "co-redemptrix" so I reckon your post has either given God a title that holy scripture never does or your post is just wrong :P

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Aside from yourself in the above quote I do not know anybody, especially no Catholic, who thinks of Blessed Mary as God (or a Goddess). The very idea is absurd and blasphemous. I reckon the offence is imagined rather than actually present in a word like "co-redemptrix" ... but if folk want to...

    Once saved always saved?

    Not our fathers alone but also our mothers. Eve participated in the first sin in the garden too. 1 Timothy 2:13-14 RSV (13) For Adam was formed first, then Eve; (14) and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
