601 | What separates Evangelicals, Catholics? | Rom 3:28 | Norrie | 10354 | ||
I believe the key to the Kingdom is the revelation that Jesus is Lord. Peter realized that thru revelation knowledge, so do we. As far as papal infallibility, I was raised Catholic, went to Cath school, took religion religiously. :) Anyway, we were taught that the pope was infallible when he spoke from the chair of Peter, that maybe as a man, he might be thinking one thing but whenever he got up to speak in his papal capacity, that the Holy Spirit spoke thru him and that was why he was infallible. When they canonize saints, the pope speaks from the chair of Peter and therefore he's infallible. This about about the time Vatican II was taking place. Then they decided that St. Christopher was not a saint, that he never existed, was just a legend. After that, I got to wondering, some pope supposedly spoke from the chair but he was supposed to be infallible, not they are saying he was wrong, then the pope is not unfallible-they lied! Then I got to wondering what else they lied about. Then when I was in the 9th grade at a Cath Girls high school in religion class, we had a priest tell us that the Bible was just a book written to compete w/mythology, me and him got into it in class, continued it in the hall. I didn't actually ever read the Bible but I knew the Bible stories and he said they were just a fable. Thank God I started going to public school after that, but after a few years, I decided they were all hooey and left the church completely. Somebody said something about Chick being down on Catholics, after I finally got saved after years of complete rebellion, I read his stuff and believed every word he said about them because I was there, I had strict Cath. upbringing and I know what I was taught and Jesus Christ didn't have anything much to do with it. He was made to seem like some harsh guy who wouldn't listen to us mere mortals so you had to ask his mama to talk to him for you. Maybe there are some Cath churches that may actually teach salvation but I had no idea what it was but I knew church doctrine. I know there are some Catholics who are Christian but I believe the majority are not, mainly because they just haven't been told. They are still trying to get in by works and hoping not to die with a mortal sin, the big gamble. I know I tried talking to the old folks and parents in my family, tried to tell them the church is not the way, that Jesus is, but I really don't know if any of them really accepted that or not besides my Mama, the others are all gone and I have no idea whether I'll see any of them again. :( Daddy's first cousin is a priest and Mama had a great uncle in Czechoslavakia that was an archbishop so I'd say I had deep Catholic roots, we were in the church every time it opened, novenas, everything. On the days when we didn't have to go to school, I'd think oh boy, no mass today-Mama would wake us up and we'd go to early mass, this was an every day thing, rosaries at night-we were crammed! They all knew I was going to hell when I quit the church but I had enough, esp when I figured out the lies. |

602 | What separates Evangelicals, Catholics? | Rom 3:28 | Norrie | 10361 | ||
Oh yeah, I remember my grandmother constantly praying for me to come back to the church. Never mind that I got saved and was trying to talk her into accepting Jesus as her Savior. None of them would listen, just kept saying I should come back to the church. About 7 yrs ago, I joined a Baptist church here. Mama started going with me, she'd go to her RCC church, then come home in time to leave to go to mine. I think that's when she started seeing the difference. She saw that we preached on Jesus and the Bible, where her church just talked. She said the clincher was that she was in the seniors group and they were always either going to FL to buy lottery tickets or going to Biloxi to the casinos. She said she told father that they shouldn't always be going to gambling places and he said why not, we're gambling on getting to heaven too. She said she thought if you don't know where you're going, why should I stay here and she left, joined my church, got baptized. She was a die-hard Catholic too, the one that forced it all on us. Praise God I know she's saved anyway! My older brother and his family are too but not my sister or younger brother. I'm glad I found this forum, you seem to be a regular source of info here-good job! |

I hate to tell you this, but my husband is not infallible and I doubt any husband here will say he is either. :) | ||||||
605 | Evangelicals and Catholics | Rom 3:28 | Norrie | 12544 | ||
That is called submission, not infallibility. I don't know what Cath. teach now. I had my main religion training before Vat. II, I went to Cath school and religion was a class every day. The nuns explained infallibility as whenever the pope gets up to make a decision from the Chair of Peter, that is when he is infallible. He may be planning on saying something completely different as a man, but when he gets on that chair, the Holy Spirit speaks thru him and whatever he says then is infallible. Of course when they canonize someone, that is when they are infallible. Then later they decided St. Christopher didn't even exist so how can they be infallible??? That's when I started questioning. |

Well, somehow I lost a post, so I'll just put highlights. Check out definition of papal ingfallibility: Main Entry: papal infallibility Function: noun Date: 1831 : the Roman Catholic doctrine that the pope cannot err when speaking ex cathedra in defining a doctrine of Christian faith or morals Accd to this, there should be no errors in doctrine to correct, that is what I was taught too. Like I said, I don't know what they are teaching now but I know what I was taught before Vatican II and watched the changes made afterwards. Infallibility is not the same as trust, submission or humility, it is separate unto itself. |

Brain, how many times are you going to post that? Enough already!!! I think all anybody is trying to say is get out of a church that corrupted and follow the Word, not these men. These men are/were/always will be corrupted and even when you're old enough to know better, if your parents are telling you something that goes against God, you can still say NO!!! Any churh that calls for blind alliegence is a cult-get out!!! |

608 | Gap and Pre-Adamic Man theories | Rom 5:12 | Norrie | 19884 | ||
Here's a few more sites to add to yours: http://www.drdino.com http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/ This site has an excellent article on the gap theory. Too bad this site does have "live" sites where you can just click the url. :) Are they studying these subjects showing them to be true or false? |

609 | Gap and Pre-Adamic Man theories | Rom 5:12 | Norrie | 19938 | ||
If it was me personally, I'd argue w/them till I was blue in the face, bring them evidence from these sites, etc and if they persisted in thinking that, I'd get out fast. What do they think about Jesus raising from the dead after 3 days, do they try to explain that away too because it's not consistent w/current "scientific" theories? | ||||||
610 | Did death come by Adam to the creation? | Rom 8:22 | Norrie | 106196 | ||
Are you talking human? Adam and Eve died spiritually in garden but they hadn't had any kids yet so there were no humans to die physically except them and they were very much alive, they had to populate the earth... If you are talking plant and animal, it doesn't say but I'd go w/no death at all until Adam sinned. |

611 | Do All Things Work Together For Good? | Rom 8:28 | Norrie | 11224 | ||
Do All Things Work Together For Good? Yes! How do we know? Because God said so. Also remember His ways are higher than our ways, we can't understand the whole picture. What you presented looks like bad cases but what good comes in the long run? Haven't you received any of them emails about kids dying of cancer or whatever that made you cry with the beautiful story about it? OK, let's get personal. I used to be a piping designer, made big bucks, traveled around, loved my job. Only thing is now I'm married w/daughter, I'd leave town on a contract and Mama would be raising my daughter instead of me. Then NY eve '98 I was rollerblading w/my daughter, fell and broke my arm. Figured 6-8 wks in a cast, then back to normal, right-wrong! I went to the hosp for surgery, was supposed to be an out patient, instead got out 12 days and 5 surgies later. So far I had 12 surgeries, now I only have one bone in my forearm, can't use my right hand (used to be right handed before this), my elbow only bends 90 degrees, I am severely limited on what I can do any more-can't even open a can. :) But, as a result, I can't work any more so I'm not making the big bucks doing the job I loved, but I do get disability, I get to be a stay at home mom, I get to hang online and meet all kinds of people online and maybe even help spread the Word, so God took a bad thing and turned it to good-see? :) Besides, I had so many miracles happen to me during this period that showed me how faithful God was! I met so many nice people I wouldn't have met too, it has turned into a blessing in disguise. The thing you have to do is no matter what, keep praising the Lord! I imagine if I would have gotten bitter over what happened and blamed God and griped and complained, I wouldn't be in as good a position as I am now, attitude is everything. If you have a bad attitude, expect bad things, if you have a good attitude, expect good things. Everybody will get a trial, it just depends on how you handle the trial as to what the outcome will be. Remember, no matter what-rejoice! |

612 | sex before marriage--going to heaven? | Rom 8:38 | Norrie | 14485 | ||
I've read where before there were marriage laws and pieces of paper, that constituted marriage too. God's plan was for 2 people to be married, then have sex and with only that person. That way you will be satisfied w/that person too. When you have multiple partners, someone's image always comes up at the wrong time or you compare, then there's always the disease factor, etc. I wish I knew back then what I know now. I plan on my daughter living a different lifestyle than I did, but we all know how plans go. But at least she will know beforehand. Hi Neighbor, I'm AL 36605-2226 :) |

614 | Alter Calls? | Rom 10:9 | Norrie | 25236 | ||
My Bible teacher says he thinks that "asking Jesus into our hearts" thing is unbiblical. He says Jesus can't come into a dirty, filty heart and until our heart is regenerated, He can live there so that is a wrong expression. | ||||||
615 | Alter Calls? | Rom 10:9 | Norrie | 25345 | ||
I understand what you meant. :) I never even thought of it being anything wrong about saying that till Sig mentioned it 2 wks in a row at Bible study. Besides, after He gives you a new heart, He lives there. :) | ||||||
616 | Are there exceptions to submitting? | Rom 13:1 | Norrie | 12880 | ||
Steve, do you see how many questions you can think up every day? Are you having a quota to make daily? Of course you go against the govt if they make decisions against the will of God! If the govt told you to worship a false God (like w/Daniel) you wouldn't do it. If the govt was killing people (like Nazis, etc) you'd go against that. If you were forced to take a mark (future) you wouldn't do that. Even saying abortion is legal doesn't make it right with God. Is this enough? |

617 | How much submitting must a woman do? | 1 Corinthians | Norrie | 11626 | ||
How far should a woman have to go to submit to her husband? If he is physically or mentally abusive, surely she doesn't have to put up with that? What if it is a Christian woman and a non christian man? What if the man claims to be a Christian but is abusive towards his wife and children? | ||||||
618 | Soul sleep? | 1 Corinthians | Norrie | 11653 | ||

I want to thank everybody for their answers, I know they will be a help. I am asking for a friend, really! She has a family situation she is worried sick about and wants to know what to do. I'm sure there are others in the same situations. I just got an email from another friend who's daughter was in the same situation and the son-in-law committed suicide with half of the police force there so it must have been a grave situation. This just seems to be a prevelant need in so many cases, I just wanted to find some answers for my friends. Thanks again and keep any answers coming, no telling who may get helped. | ||||||

At 6/16/02 08:11 AM, you wrote: I thought I saved those issues but evidentally I must have decided I had site, why bother, but I am looking for the issues where you deal w/why God ordained sex w/in marriage and you mentioned a man had nesplash (sp) that is part of his soul that enters woman thru sex. Where can I find that? I know, I got the word wrong, that's why search won't work. Thanks and keep up the great work. May God keep blessing you greatly.

As for "sex w/in marriage" there are other things you can find from the 'left' box of the TopicSearch. Scroll down to "marriage"... particularly "Q/A -Sex Is Marriage?" and "10 Commandments: do not commit Adultery". This last one also has several links at the bottom of it to related subjects.
