    Gift of Tongues

    That's right. Even the encouraging messages are couched in generalities that make them little more than rehearsing God's promises in Christ and when the "interpretation of tongues" is specific about a congregation's happy prospects then it's like wishes put into words and the wishes do not come...

    Alternative Energy: Do you?

    Since the Earth is finite it follows that there is not an infinite supply of oil and coal and natural gas. Some time in the future fossil fuels will be too rare to use for burning in power stations.

    Gift of Tongues

    of course this doesn't satisfy anyone who wants to believe it's a gift of the Holy Spirit. Or a message from God. Because if God is speaking to his people then he is saying important things. It is hard to conceive of God wittering away about some of the things one hears as "interpretation of...

    Gift of Tongues

    It used to be the case that the bishops and the curia in the Catholic Church would examine claims to visions and words spoken by Blessed Mary, a saint, or maybe even Jesus to test them for consistency with Church teaching and credibility as well as internal consistency. The claims had to be...

    Maybe Gorsuch is and maybe he isn't "anti-abortion". Time may tell depending on the cases brought before the Supreme Court in the USA.

    Please, read the following quote and then tell me what you think of each of its salient points. It does not come from a Catholic source nor is it from an Orthodox source. FAITH The word “faith” is translated from the Greek piʹstis, primarily conveying the thought of confidence, trust, firm...

    Faith hope and charity

    In English bibles from a few centuries ago "charity" was used as if it meant "love" but nowadays English bibles use "love" and avoid "charity" in First Corinthians chapter thirteen.

    Faith hope and charity

    I left out some punctuation. Here is what the last sentence with proper punctuation says Faith is "belief" in the scriptures. Demons believe (and shiver in fear). Christians believe, in hope, working by love. and it means Faith in English is translated from a Greek word (πίστις) in the new...

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    I have no idea what you mean by "literal presence". That phrase is as uninformative as "carnal sense".

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    Orthodox Christians believe in the bodily presence of Christ in the holy Eucharist. But it is right to say that their view is that this is a sacred mystery (a sacrament) which may (or may not) have deeper meanings that people can grasp.

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    Here's a video with some testimony about an alleged Eucharistic miracle. What you make of it is up to you. Sceptical people will have their doubts about the testimony and the witnesses. Catholic people may see it differently but not necessarily.
