    I have been questioning my faith lately

    The holy scriptures are intended to help Christians live godly lives and as such they ought to be read as encouragement to do and say good things. But it takes time and experience to learn the lessons in the holy scriptures. Don't be discouraged when somethings in the scriptures do not make...

    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    The Catholic Church teaches exactly that salvation is a free (to us) gift of Gods grace. This is what the CCC says. Salvation is defined as the forgiveness of sins and restoration of friendship with God, which can be done by God alone. (glossary) "Lord, Look Upon the Faith of Your Church" 168...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    The way that hermeneutic works is that "all" means "elect" when referring to salvation and "all" means everybody when referring to almost anything else except condemnation to hell. The same applies "world" and "the whole world". The elect are alleged to be "all sorts of people" and that is...

    Define "works"

    Does any Christian church teach that it is possible to earn salvation? From the quote: "So to answer your question, when I SAY "salvation is not dependent upon works" , I mean that there is no toil, no effort, no deed, no doing, no labor and no work that I can undertake to earn 'salvation'."

    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    I've been wondering why people who are not Catholic mention alleged Catholic teaching in so many of their posts in a thread about Hebrews 6:4-6 and now I know. They have nothing much to say about the passage but a whole lot of untruthful comments to make about the Catholic Church. Remember the...

    I buy frozen chips, they don't need to be deep fried even if the package says they do. I cook them in my oven. They turn out very well and they are fairly cheap. $2 for a one Kg bag of frozen chips.

    Catholics define justification this way CCC 1989-1996 The first work of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conversion, effecting justification in accordance with Jesus' proclamation at the beginning of the Gospel: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
