Brian.g: Thank you for sharing with us what your church believes. I have found your postings very informative. Nothing I write here is intended as criticism of you in any way. I merely point out the following: You write: "with Jesus making Himself known to Peter before anyone else after the Resurrection..." In fact, according to the Scriptures: The order of the post-resurrection appearances seems to be: (1) to Mary Magdalene; (2) to the women returning from the tomb with the angelic message; and (3) to Peter(Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5). Grace to you, --JVH0212 |

Correction, instead of person I should have said Apostle | ||||||

Ha! This is a pitiful response to Norrie's question.. According to your reasoning, Mary Magdalene should have been the first pope!! :) --Nolan |

That's OK, Nolan, it's to be expected. :) Remember, I was raised Cath. too. I went thru a period of blind allegiance too where I'd fight anybody who said anything contrary to the Cath church, they do a good job of brainwashing. You want to know a really funny thing (more pathetic than funny really), we grew up thinking that unless you were Cath, you were going to hell. I had a friend down the street who was Latter Day Saint, she was taught the same thing and we'd argue for hrs over saying the other was going to hell and we both were-sad, huh. :( |

Hey there Norrie! Yes, that was a shame (you and your Mormon friend).. Too bad you lost contact with her. Its also a shame that Catholics would feel that anyone who is not a part of their church is going to hell. The Bible states what we must do to become saved and being a part of the Catholic church is most certainly not a requirement! In fact, I would not be a part of any church that regards tradition or the ramblings of a pope in higher authority than God's Holy Word! God's Holy Word, the Bible, is THE ultimate authority for direction and guidance! One must study the Word and what it says, knowing it inside and out, and studying it every day. --Nolan |

I know I grew up thinking the church was salvation and hoping that I'd die right after confession-venial sin meant purgatory and mortal sin meant hell. I don't know if it still is, but back then, missing mass on Sun was a mortal sin. If you didn't go at least once during the Easter season, that was grounds for excommunication. They may be more lenient now, I don't know. :) Oh, they used to have those indulgences where you can buy time off from purgatory. Certain sayings were worth 300 days off, others were worth 900, you better believe I'd say bunches of those 900 ones to build up my acct. :) I never thought much about Jesus. I knew the Bible stories about Him but he was basically the big guy upstairs who was too busy or important to worry w/us, that's why you had to go thru His mama, He'd at least listen to her. I'd heard they changed but a few years ago went to a funeral at the same church my cousin, the priest, used to pastor. I picked up a few leaflets in the back and seems they were the same old stuff. I found a novena to our lady of something there. I had that tract for a long time as evidence but it got lost thru the years. Seems like you could still do indulgences too. Some things are just sneaking back in. :) |
