    A "Challenge" for Muslim members of this forum

    The Church has apologized multiple times, the actions have been condemned by all Catholics and we will all work until the end of time to make sure these atrocities stop. The Catholic Church has been slow to address all the issues and have dealt with many false accusations as well but major...

    All Catholics are Christians am I don't know of any cases where actual Catholics claim otherwise.

    Nothing Pope Francis has taught contradicts the Bible or Catholic teaching and to say otherwise is a very misinformed statement.

    Ask a Catholic

    You have very little understanding of Catholic teaching and are making way too many assumptions in your posts: The Catechism of the Catholic Church discourages literalism when it encourages believers to recognize the various literary genres found in the Bible. - See more at...

    Jesus is God.

    What people have to understand is that even if the trinity was fully explained the chances are remote that we would have the comprehension to understand it. God is not limited by time and if he created the earth, then created Jesus it is still possible that Jesus existed before the earth. That...

    Jesus is God.

    This scripture (which are the words of Christ) tells us that Jesus and the Father are the same and that Jesus is God. John 14:6-20 [6] Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. [7] If you had known me, you would without doubt have...

    Ditto on that.

    Jesus is God.

    http://overviewbible.com/verses-that-mention-the-trinity/ There is no doubt that Jesus said he was the Son of God and He also said if you have seen me then you have seen the father.

    Jesus is God.

    You can find fringe arguments all over the web so call me when you find a reputable mainstream source. I found one that claimed Jesus had a twin named Judas and the were the sons of a Roman centurion. That's just crazy talk.

    Jesus is God.

    Christ was fully human and fully God so he experienced the same emotions and temptations as all of us do.

    Jesus is God.

    Pretty smug for a person that refuses to cite a source.

    Jesus is God.

    The scripture was not re-written it's a ridiculous claim.

    Jesus is God.

    The NT was not rewritten at the council of Nicea and no respectable academic scholar would make that claim.

    Jesus is God.

    The writing of the New Testament was actually vetted by the believers themselves and was written using first hand accounts. The Quran was written by one guy who was told the story supposively by an Angel. Sounds a lot like Joseph Smith to me. Its not even that original in that it rips off both...

    What Makes You A Christian?

    My personal stance is a little more detailed: To be a Christian one must also: 1. Believe Christ is the son of God 2. Be baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

    You haven't been following Pope Francis then. He has an unbelievable humility, forgives all trespasses, prays for everyone in the world (constantly asked for prayers as well saying "he needs them"), embraces all people as brothers and sisters and keeps all of the church doctrines in place. Not...

    From the Catechism: 2290 The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who, by drunkenness or a love of speed, endanger their own and others' safety on the road, at sea, or in the air.

    There are conflicting reports on Thomas: 1. He converted the wife of a regional ruler in India and was taken to a hill and speared by 4 soldiers. 2. He was shot in a what was essentially a hunting accident (I guess by bow and arrow?), also in India. - This comes from the accounts of Marco Polo.

    Ask a Catholic

    It is important to remember that the first century Christians thought that Christ was coming back soon and that would live to see it so writing everything down wasn't their priority it was spreading the message. However it speaks very loudly that they spread the Gospel far and wide during their...
