    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Obviously, she "came up with that" by expressing the standard belief of Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, on the matter of who it was that Christ died for. While there are some references in Scripture to an Elect, when it comes to the effects of the sacrifice of the Cross, the same...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    Settle down and keep in mind my actual position on this matter. Much of what you have pointed to I agree with. My point, however, is that this issue is not unlike many others that society has had to grapple with. We cannot simply ignore the dangers because we approve of the benefits. And in...

    Real Presence is (Apostolic). Transubstantiation is not. It's of Medieval origin.

    Truth

    Henry VIII, a lifelong Catholic, didn't start any new church. True. None of those was believed in by the Apostolic Church and none has support in Scripture or Tradition. They are all, in other words, later innovations. Well, some of them. In reaction to the Reformers declaring the books of...

    That is what the Catholic Church says about Freemasonry, among other things, but I thought readers would be interested in the actual facts. When it comes to it being a secret society, there are almost no secrets in Freemasonry. There are all sorts of books and TV documentaries, every lodge is...

    Truth

    "Positive aspects." Yes indeed. Many of the reforms introduced by the various Protestant movements of the 16th century, all of which the Papacy roundly denounced, have since been adopted by the Roman Catholic Church for itself! Not surprisingly, they were initiated as if the RCC had come to...

    Truth

    Little of that is true, you should know. For one thing, the claim is not that Freemasonry is irreligious or anti-religious, but that it is "indifferentist," meaning that it supposedly considers all faiths to be equal. Except that Masonry does NOT take that stance or promote it in theory or in...

    Truth

    But let's be straightforward. A term like "ecclesial communities" is intended as a putdown, a snide message that Rome does not consider other Christian churches to be churches in actuality. And whatever theological perspective the Roman Catholic Church has with regard to that matter, it's...

    Truth

    It actually dates to the first century and quite possibly is older than the church at Rome. What a surprise! Of course she does, even though it's a mistaken opinion on her part. Then why is it that these "separated churches" are commonly referred to by Catholic clergy including the Pope...

    Truth

    Well, what would we expect from a church that seriously claims Christ himself founded the Roman Catholic Church to the exclusion of all other Christian assemblies? :giggle: But, to be clearer, you created this thread for the express purpose of saying you believe everything your own...

    Born again

    Are you saying that, in the process by which a person becomes a child of God, there is no role for what is often called "a conversion experience" by which he affirms and trusts Christ as Lord and Savior?? In other words, it just happens to the individual without any input, activity, commitment...

    Truth

    Well, of course, that is what you'd have to say. But it doesn't mean much more than that you are a loyal member of that church. Mormons say the same thing about their church, and they, too, will point out that there is a process, etc. etc. Right. And what would you be expected to say--that the...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    In your opinion, that's the reason many more people today smoke and eat MJ than did in earlier years, huh? Because of its "medical benefits" and "reduced harm?" :rolleyes: Anyway, there's no point in debating the "other" possible uses of the drug as though the explosion of MJ use for purely...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    I'm sure you know that it's far more popular these days, even if illegally so, and also that the effects are much more powerful.

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    I noticed that you made a point of writing "Cannabis" instead of "Marijuana," in order to emphasize all the uses that this plant COULD be put to, and sometimes actually is, whereas the discussion had concerned its hallucinogenic qualities, especially now that this ingredient (THC) has been made...

    Truth

    ...which, it seems to me, is also the theological position of just about every other Christian church as well. So if we ask if there's any significant difference between the various churches, there's always this information taken from your post-- So, to the above, your church adds whatever it...

    Religious sacrifice of animals

    On the matter of the religious sacrifice of animals, I'd agree. Raising farm animals--or catching/hunting them--for human consumption, probably not. Of course, it depends, in this case, on which animals we're talking about and on the conditions.

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Nevertheless, the wording that you were asked about says that Jesus died for "mankind's sins," not those of an Elect.

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    Well, it was obvious to me that he was in the process of explaining Christian Faith to you. That did seem to be the objective of your inquiry, not just whether unicorns are credible, etc.
