    Halloween Debate Thread

    Yes. Don't celebrate the pagan festivals, but do celebrate the Christian holidays of All Saints Eve, Pascha, and the Nativity of Our Lord--even if society has continued to use the older terminology for these days.

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    You cannot. By now you are aware that I believe it to BE THERE. That's why I also said you could easily find it. But because you won't even check to see which of these opinions is correct, the debate cannot move beyond the "He said, She said" level. . If the exact wording you demand is a...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    That is your problem. We know what we believe and are not the ones raising this issue. You can correct your mistake in no more time than it would take me to prove your argument wrong by copying and pasting material, most of which has already been presented here--only to have you then reply that...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    that being the day that Our Lord rose from the dead. What you were saying was that Scripture doesn't tell us anything about Sunday worship. But it does. In addition, though, you made the point that the Resurrection of Christ on that day may not be the reason. History and historians think it...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    They made Sunday their day, called it the Lord's Day, and celebrated the Lord's Supper for no particular reason???? Hmmm.

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    Yes, it is there, but I'm not completely surprised that people who have already been taken in by the defective arguments of others...will stand by the mistake. It wouldn't have to be in Scripture, I agree, but we have it there; and, in addition, ordinary history establishes the Sunday...

    Which hymn makes you tear up?

    ...which of course means music that you enjoy personally even if its not especially meaningful or inspiring. Surely there's some sort of happy medium that could be turned to; and I'm not thinking of one of those creations for which the audience sways gently and glassy-eyed while singing the...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    If that were true, almost the whole of the Christian world wouldn't be celebrating it on Sunday as it does. And scripture is hardly silent about it. See Acts of the Apostles 20:7 and following. Here's the position statement of the USConference of Catholic Bishops. There are of course many...

    Using black ink would help, too.

    Halloween Debate Thread

    Good. I don't know why more Christians who have some degree of concern don't just take the route your wife's parents did. And when it comes to younger children--the ones most interested in trick-or-treating and choosing a costume--most of them never would think of the day or the dressing-up as...

    Halloween Debate Thread

    It all depends on how one observes it--like some ancient pagan or like a Christian would. And it is a wondrous event for children, so what's good about depriving them of this innocent fun? Be sure what the events and costumes actually are, but then let them have the day.

    Pro-life

    Which is another way of saying what I did when commenting that the Catholic Church is not against birth control (depending on which kind is used).

    Pro-life

    No, and no. The Catholic Church isn't against birth control (depending on which kind is used) and it doesn't say that a couple has to have as many children as they can. P.S. This isnt a reply to Tango but I cannot seem to delete that part. Sorry.

    Forced Birth

    I have the feeling that they DO see it, but since killing your child because he or she is inconvenient does not go over well in public debate, the refuge is to use some contrived term that disguises the facts and also sounds almost...high minded. We already have a bunch of them. "the 'right'...

    USA MY Take on Trump v Biden

    By stating, as you have, that you do not accept the Nicene Creed you willingly associate yourself with even more fundamental heresies, however. Not wanting to be mistaken for a Roman Catholic or a Christian who agrees with all of its beliefs, you instead identify with Unitarians and other...

    USA MY Take on Trump v Biden

    Then don't associate with the Roman Catholic Church, if that's your choice. Here we were talking about the use of the word catholic to mean universal or authentic.

    Is penance biblical?

    What I described is what is called "penance." At one time, there were severe penances, but now the act of confessing and being contrite is considered sufficient, and saying a few prayers afterwards that the priest assigns is considered adequate. Also, it used to be the case that what the...

    Is penance biblical?

    Understood. But it's worth knowing that the "Five Hail Marys and five Our Fathers" that get assigned are meant as a token only, and that's how the church sees this. Saying them is just a gesture on the part of the person who has just confessed his sins and been absolved of them, following his...

    What are your thoughts on women wearing head coverings?

    Obviously, the point concerned the obligatory use of head coverings as a religious principle, not a free choice made for the sake of fashion. And none of the church groups that you mentioned (and I highlighted in the text) were in existence when the New Testament regulation you refer to was...

    Drain Hot Water Heater?

    From all that I know, every professional says to drain water heaters regularly and that this will both improve service and prolong the life of the water heater. Most people forget, however, or just don't bother, but there is A LOT online about how to do it. I understand that the risk of a leak...
