    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Does it matter - except for the purpose of formulating some theory in theology?

    Decision Theology

    Living is a process. It would be very disappointing to be born and not live. We celebrate the anniversary of birth each year after birth for as long as we live. This is also true of being born from above. But we stop celebrating when life ends. So it is that conversion is a process not an event...

    Decision Theology

    Conversion is a process not an event. There are events in every process but it is a mistake to pick one of them and treat it as if it were the entire process. One becomes a Christian by remaining "in Christ" like a fruitful branch of a grape vine remains a part of the vine. Jesus explained this...

    Vatican puts brakes on progressive German Catholic movement

    Married priests is up for debate but the decision about allowing it is one for the hierarchy to make. Women as priests was fairly definitively disallowed by saint John Paul II. In 1994, Pope John Paul II declared, “The Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women...

    What do you believe YHWH means?

    Many titles, I agree, but many names? Not so much. Isaiah 42:8 I am YHWH, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images.

    What do you believe YHWH means?

    I know an elder among Jehovah's witnesses and, naturally enough, for him God's covenant name is of paramount importance. He uses "Jehovah" as the way to spell and pronounce God's name. That spelling is mistaken but it isn't hugely important to me that their chosen spelling isn't quite right...

    It's me again.

    I will sip some sweet red wine, play with a computer, have a nap, and then cook dinner. None of which will be video recorded. :p

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    One may well ask "how does an axe head floating on water benefit anyone?" or "how does walking on water benefit anyone?". Scripture advises "stop doubting and become believing".

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    I do not know if any miracle claims are true even if they may be genuine in the sense of being claimed in honesty, but I do know that one can take a cynical perspective and dismiss them all for one's own purposes. When reading the scriptures many miracles occur in Moses' time, in Elijah's time...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    Poverty does not make a nation and its people unreliable witnesses to the graces of God including miracles. Jesus was poor, so too were the twelve apostles he chose. And Jesus' life and work wasn't peer reviewed, so maybe expecting peer reviews is a red herring dragged across the path of faith...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    Miracles of healing are not a RIGHT. But hope and prayer can help a person to understand why suffering can be offered to God through Jesus Christ for the benefit of the whole world. As Saint Paul did and wrote about in his letter to the Colossians. 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you...

    Did Jesus descend into Hell when he died on the cross?

    He descended into hell The best place to start is with a definition, what does "hell" mean in the creed?
