  • Question, does this make any Biblical sense?

    “The holy souls in Purgatory revealed many secrets of reconciliation and life after death to the late mystic Maria Simma”.

    “Holy Souls” maybe means those without sin? Yet purgatory is that supposed place where sinners go because they are sinners?

    So why are there holy souls were the sinners go to burn?

    Can you give any Bible reference for this teaching?

  • do muslims want to take over the world?

    Watch these videos and ask yourself. Is the religion that Mohammed created while living in a cave teaches peace and love of mankind? Pay close attention to the signs that they hold.

  • Muslims your religion is about peace right?

    Is it really true that your religion is a religion of peace and love?

    فَمَا لَكُمۡ فِى ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقِينَ فِئَتَيۡنِ وَٱللَّهُ أَرۡكَسَہُم بِمَا كَسَبُوٓاْ‌ۚ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَهۡدُواْ مَنۡ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ ۥ سَبِيلاً۬ (٨٨) وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءً۬‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡہُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ حَتَّىٰ يُہَاجِرُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡ‌ۖ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡہُمۡ وَلِيًّ۬ا وَلَا نَصِيرًا (٨٩)

    Well according to your Quran it is right to kill those who have rejected your god. And you may kill them were ever you can find them. Your quran speaks in many places that you are to kill those who reject your god.

    How is that teaching love or peace?

  • How stupid does one have to be to get elected to the House of representative in the USA?

    Read this quote from a Texas Rep. US Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee.

    Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee, a Democrat from Texas, repeatedly referred to "North Vietnam" in a speech on the House floor that drew lessons from the conflict for the current war in Afghanistan.

    "Today we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working," she said in the speech Thursday.

    "We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace," she said.

    Jackson-Lee added that she sought a better human rights record from "North Vietnam."

    And one wonders why we have so many stupid laws being enacted from congress.

    Texans did you really vote her into office? Shame on you, I thought you people would know better.

  • Do Catholics praying to mary?

    I have been told by Catholic’s that they do not pray to mary or their saints. But I wonder if I have been told the truth of the matter.

    Christ taught that we are to pray to the Father, one example is the Lord’s Prayer. Christians are taught in the bible that there is only 1 (one) mediator between God and man and that is the Son of God.

    Beginning with Mans unique cooperation with the working of the Holy- Spirit, the Churches developed their prayer to the holy Mother of God” (Catechism 2675

    “Mary is the perfect Orans prayer, a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father” (Catechism 2679)

    Mary of the New Advent, we implore your protection on the preparations that will now begin for the next meeting [World Youth Day]. Mary, full of grace, we entrust the next World Youth Day to you. Mary, assumed into heaven, we entrust the young people of the world ... the whole world to YOU” (August 1993, Denver, Colorado, Pope John Paul II).

    So do the Catholics pray to mary or not?

    If so where is the Bible doctrine for this teaching?

  • Pictures of Mohammad?

    My wife is on Facebook and she should me where Facebook apologized to Pakistan for some one putting pictures of Mohammad on a Facebook page and Facebook pulled the page.

    Why is it that its ok for Muslims to put cartoon characters of debasing my religion (I follow the Son of God, Jesus the Christ) and about the nation that I was born in and served (USA) and its ok and they never have to apologize for that?

    If they don’t like it done to their ‘prophet’ (which I truly believe to be a false prophet) what gives them the right to debase my Savior and my country?

  • Hey SDA’s here’s a question for you.?

    If your church really believes what it teaches concerning the Catholic Church how could they allow Samuele Bacchiocchi a leading pastor (now retired), teacher to be trained at the Jesuit university(Gregorian University)?

    Why would the church allow this?

  • Hey SDA’s I have a question for you.?

    Have your fundamental belief’s been the same sense your church first started?

    If your church changed them, then the first set of beliefs had to have been in error or some mistake was made when they where formed correct?

  • Hey SDA’s I have a question for you.?

    At one point your church decried the Catholic as the Beast of Revelation’s and the pope as the man of sin. Your church did this without apologizing for its beliefs. So why do you do so now? That is if your church really believes what it teaches? I’ve heard many of your big time preachers do this and a few others as well.

    I mean you apologize for something that your sorry about, like after you have dome something wrong.

  • Hey Protestants are you following the papal authority in Sunday worship?

    Sunday worship is not found in the Bible yet you go to your churches on Sunday, the first day of the week, why?

    Here are two statements from the mother of all churches the Roman Catholic Church and how you came to worship on the day of the sun instead of God’s Sabbath.

    What do you think? Are you still following Rome after all instead of God?

    “The (Roman Catholic) Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday.” — The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, p. 4.

    “Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the Bible, it should worship on Saturday.” — Rome’s Challenge immaculateheart.com/maryonline Dec 2003.

  • To you Protestants I pose this query.?

    Is the Catholic Church the mother of your denomination?

    Revelations 17:5, 6 “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.”

    Compare this with what the then Cardinal Ratzinger wrote, while he was the head of the holy office of the inquisition (known now as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith);

    “As a point of interest, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has been headed for 18 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is one of the possible candidates for Pope. Ratzinger is the cardinal quoted in the September 2nd Associated Press story as saying the Catholic church is not a "sister church" with other denominations, but their "mother"

    In the document, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told the bishops that it was incorrect to refer to Christian churches, ranging from Orthodox to Protestant, as ``sister'' churches of the Catholic church.

    ``It must be always clear that the one, holy, catholic and apostolic universal church is not the sister, but the mother of all the churches,'' Ratzinger was quoted as saying.”9/5/200 the independent

    Please explain why you agree or disagree.

    I wonder how fast people will cry to YA about my question

  • Hey followers of Christ can you explain why you worship the birth of Christ?

    Base you answers only upon the Bible. Give scripture and verse as to where this teaching may be found. Also where in the Bible does it give you the date of His birth?

    A follower of Christ is to do what He did and what He taught correct?
