I hope everyone is well.

When did ChristianForums morph so much? No more denominational forums? It's stripped down. I have no idea where to discuss anything of substance with my brethren.

Mary Ann Collins is a liar and a servant of Satan. She was never a nun and her theology and anti-Catholic arguments are infantile. I bought and read her book while I was a vehement anti-Catholic trying to prove someone wrong. I was a strong Evangelical Protestant (Baptist and...

"The end times" are definitely near if we're listening to "prophecies" from Pat Robertson. Yikes. Why is the 700 club still on, again? -Michael

Re: reply I watched him for about 30 minutes a week or two ago. It was disturbing, to say the least. Actually, I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the bigoted hateful sermon or the deluded congregation. I was embarassed to be from Texas for a little bit. Of course Joel Osteen is from...

Ever heard it? I heard it on the Shrek soundtrack. Absolutely, insanely gorgeous song. I honestly hadn't listened closely to the words. I realized upon listening it didn't sound terribly religious, except the chorus. But wow, is it a gorgeous song. Listen to it and see what I mean...

Sadly, after only 5 years, many have forgotten and the youth barely know life before it.... they don't know life without terrorists being a thought... Most importantly, we learned nothing. We have not done one real thing to stop these people, to defend ourselves. We are chained down by...

We don't have Catholic radio here, and I tend to find radio/TV preachers to be pretty well characterized by the zionist description above. There's a couple of radio shows on a local protestant Christian station (KHCB) that I like. One is called Haven Today and the other is Night Sounds...

Is "St. Mark's Roman Catholic Evangelical Church" an official Catholic parish or is it a schismatic or heretical priest offering up illicit masses?... The Diocese of Tucsan shows a "St. Mark's Catholic Church" which is a part of the diocese. Their website is: http://www.stmarktucson.org...

I don't equate racial segregation (marital or otherwise) with preaching out against homosexuality. Homosexuality is explicitly anti-biblical and has been contrary to Christian doctrine from the beginning. Perhaps some liberals who claim to be Christians condone it now, but that doesn't make it...

Two people loving one another is entirely different than two people lusting after one another and defiling themselves with one another. I don't think he's any more a sinner than I am. We are all sinners. The difference is, he believes that finding a same-sex partner to love, and later have...

I love how my post was ignored so that people could get back more quickly to hurling insults. God bless, Michael

Actually, the topic of the thread is whether or not Catholics have "divinized" Mary. By that, I assume they mean divinized to mean "to make divine" or "to deify" (from dictionary.com). To that, the official Church teaching is, no, we do not deify, worship or adore Mary. The following is a...

Hi guys, I have a friend, a very close friend, who is (for the most part) openly gay. He has had relationships with men in the past, though he has "abstained" (somewhat his choice, somewhat not) for the past 3 years or so. I've known him since the 6th grade, which is how we ended up such...

As Thess mentioned, the Rosary is not said during mass. Those who wish to pray the rosary sometimes gather in the church several minutes BEFORE mass, and as a group of faithful, they pray the rosary. Each rosary focuses on the events of Christ's life, death & resurrection (which are stated...

JM, We agree on one thing: That the only two churches who have a valid argument as the original church are the Orthodox and the Catholics. I agree completely with you. As to the reason for my decision to choose Catholic over Orthodox, despite my initial misgivings about the papacy, it is...

Just to reassert, Catholics have now and have always believed the Scriptures to be the inerrant Word of God (despite what some might try to imply). It is indeed very important to note when God speaks, we should listen. When God empowers a writer to speak his truth, we should listen. And when...

I understand that Poke asked the question. Therefore, he should read responses from those to whom the question applies. It matters not whether Poke, a protestant, considers the term "Roman Catholic" offensive. It makes even less sense for him to respond, as it was indeed him who started the...

You're missing the point, as most seem to. If you're actually saying something (i.e. you are using those nifty fingers of yours to type, SELECTIVELY QUOTE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MATERIAL, and move on with AN ACTUAL POINT), then there's no problem.... It's the annoying ones who post 3 or 4 pages of...
