    Carlita, In a way you are both correct. The Church was founded by Jesus Christ and he built it on the works of Peter and the Apostles (who became the first Bishops of the Church). The heart and soul of Catholicism is the Mass, which is a Eucharistic celebration. Without the real presence of...

    Jewish Thought On Scripture Interpretation

    Would like your opinions and thoughts on literal translation of the events in scripture. To be fair I will disclose mine: It is my understanding (if I am incorrect absolutely no offense was intended) that the use of parable type stories were very common in Judaism in order to teach morale...

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    You really haven't been as clear as you are claiming, in fact your posts tend to have a lot of incorrect assumptions.

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    Shadow Wolf, You are picking and choosing your arguments against Christianity and lumping and unlumping the different demnominations of Christians at your whim. There are huge differences between Bible literalist and say the Catholic Church. In fact it was a Catholic scientist priest Georges...

    1. The assertion that the Catholic Church didn't exist until the 4th century is ludicrous and a completely false statement. I have already addressed that nonsense on another thread that you are posting on as well. 2. I'll address PJ how I want and he is free to do the same and neither of us...

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    I'm not sure how these comments came up about my post but I will respond anyway. First Mistake - Lumping all Christians into one group for this particular comment doesn't really work. For example Bible literalist and Catholics are very different in their beliefs regarding science. Second...

    Went to my very first Baptist service tonight

    I grew up Baptist and was one for 25 years. Things I love: Believers Baptism - being able to remember my baptism and the incredible feeling is an awesome grace. Bible Study - no one does it better and I can bible drill with the best of them because of it. Things I don't like: Judgmental...

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    You mean as ridiculous as slamming Christians just for the sake of it? Recognize similar behaviors?

    Went to my very first Baptist service tonight

    Indulgences are over blown and people need to think of them more as a star on your chart for good behavior then a get out of jail free card. The Rosary can bring special blessings but it isn't a magic lamp with a genie. I love Holy Days and the opportunity to do something special for God on a...

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    So you have faith in the ability to patronize? Just trying to figure this out.

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    Oh looky I've ticked you off and now you're following me. Very original Ok lets be honest here someone or multiple people messed you up and feed you a lot of BS. No doubt this has caused a resentment against everything those people believe in. However casting wide shotgun blast at all...

    Went to my very first Baptist service tonight

    If you don't believe in the real presence then there is little point in being Catholic. Since you did grow up in the faith I would like to "plant the seed" should you find time and can find a Chapel of Adoration that praying on the issue in front of the blessed sacrament couldn't be a bad thing.

    "People who have faith . . . are not as smart as others"

    So you are faithless in this life? If true I feel sorry for you and hope you find something to believe in.

    How exactly have Christians been proven wrong?

    Let's see 2,000 of history verses 146 years. 99.99999% of other Christian denominations agree with me and would not recognize JWs as Christians. Get the wad out of your panties and man up to the truth. You're acting like an atheist with daddy issues.

    Oh cut the crap you almost were baptised JW and you are overly sensitive about the subject because it's personal. If people were jumping on Mormons you would be leading the pack so don't get all self righteous. It isn't a good look for you.

    You're just interpreting scriptures to suit your fancy. All of Christendom believed in the trinity then in 1870 some dude drops some acid and everyone else is wrong. You have to be a real moron to believe that 1800 years after the death of Christ everyone else had it wrong and the truth was...
