    The REAL number one problem in Christian theology

    That's quite some claim. Now how about some documentation to back it up? Otherwise it's just baseless argument.

    Under The Anointing

    Hey Bonairos! I am part of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. I'm not sure I've ever heard any of my charismatic friends use the term "under the anointing” as you define it - it's not an expression we use. However, I have had plenty of Holy Spirit experiences. A couple of biggies: One of my...

    Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman

    There's a great documentary DVD about this fight: When We Were Kings. :thumbsup If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend finding a copy and watching( I always try the public library first). :)

    [ Testimony ] Departed Catholicism For Protestantism

    Hi C.L.I.F.F. In response to your first post, I am just the opposite. I was raised in a mainline Christian faith, and I converted to Catholicicsm. My reason for staying Catholic is no "knee-jerk" reaction. Rather, I'm a Catholic because I believe the teaching of the Catholic Church is the...

    Communion and Catholics

    Bonairos, thanks for even considering having a 1-on-1 discussion with me. :) Actually, what I want to discuss is Christian unity, or more correctly the lack of it. As Joe suggested in post #63, and as I stated in post #112, #120 and #121, there is one central issue that has led to the division...

    Communion and Catholics

    1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one...

    Communion and Catholics

    So you believe that the Apostles, their successors and all the believing church-going Christians for the first 15oo years A.D. got it wrong, and I believe they got it right. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

    True. So does that mean these things are not important?

    Communion and Catholics

    It is noteworthy that the moderators have been extremely patient in not closing this thread after several warnings have been seemingly ignored. Thank you. For my part, I will attempt to not argue for or against Catholic belief on the nature of Communion, but simply expand on what we believe and...

    Communion and Catholics

    As has already been discussed in this thread, we Catholics recognize all the baptized as Christian. Also as has been discussed, what many non-Catholic Christians and Catholics believe about the nature of Holy Communion is very different – symbolism versus the true body and blood of Jesus. As...

    Communion and Catholics

    I’d like to share a relevant story. My friend Pat, the leader of several ministries in our parish, always tells the “Baptist Boy†story at the conclusion of a retreat we do. One day, a student from a Baptist College came to see her in her office. After studying John Chapter 6, this young...

    The Omniscience Of God Does God Know Everything ?

    While there might be and probably are those out there purposefully deceiving others, for the most part I think it’s more a case of denial or wishful thinking. While God can and sometimes does inspire individuals with insight and understanding, even they must be careful because of all the...

    The Omniscience Of God Does God Know Everything ?

    Lewis W, Yes, it is confusing. Jesus said he would send the Advocate, the Spirit of Truth, and He would lead us to all truth (John 16). A great percentage of Christians – not all – believe this means that with the guidance of the Holy Ghost they can accurately understand and interpret the...

    The Omniscience Of God Does God Know Everything ?

    Lewis W, I have surrendered my life to the Lord, and I have felt the power of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost). I am quite familiar with the account of Pentecost - the descent of the Holy Spirit - and yes I have read the acts of the Apostles, this and much more. None of the above answers the...

    The Omniscience Of God Does God Know Everything ?

    As a Christian, I have to agree you have made a valid conclusion with this particular statement - - scripture interpretation by individuals has led to tens of thousands of different doctrines. We must ask ourselves, if the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, can He be leading us to tens of...

    Why God' Why ? Why God' Oh Why ?

    Lewis W, good question. Lehigh3, I like your answers. I agree the very nature of the universe was changed at the fall - it's right there in Genesis 3: We went from being in the fullness of God's grace to living in a world hostile and predatory - sweat, toil, thorns, suffering and death. God...
