Re: Was Mama Mary first mentioned in the OT?
Even after reading the bible and the CCC from cover to cover, it sometimes, as if by magic, we see a verse illuminated all of the sudden. I am humbled by God's greatness. At awe by His splendor, power, and glory. God did not just saw but already knew Mama Mary way way before she even existed. This v...

Was Mama Mary first mentioned in the OT?
Greetings, This is not a thesis or an issue but rather a question that I just noticed it this morning. Please help. Was Mama Mary mentioned in the OT as early as the Genesis 3 right after the fall of man? When I woke up this morning and as I read a verse or two from the Bible I noticed this verse fr...

Re: Eucharist-symbol or reality
Eli, Can't help but to jump in into this discussion. In addition to what Ariel wrote... the Church almost never uses the term "symbol" . In fact St. Augustine in the 4th century defined the term sacrament as "a sign of sacred reality" and as "a visible word" (communicat...

Re: Apostolic succession
I just wanted to add that many Jews and messianic Jews who have become Catholics did so because of the Eucharist. By this i mean they had a spiritual experience of the Real Presence in the Catholic church. this is why I became a Catholic and I know many other Jews that did also. The Catholic church...

Re: Apostolic succession
Adding to Ariel's post on Protestant Luke 22:31-32 " 31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat. 32 But I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers. " The Christians were indeed sifted like ...

Now if your underlying concern(s) are discrimination or mayb...

Re: Vatican for a 2-state solution?
I think it should not be viewed as political but rather as a message of love which Christ Himself so heavily emphasized. However, I think most likely both sides will represent it this way. The Holy father is studiously avoiding taking sides. He is advocating peace, reconciliation, mutual respect, an...

Re: "Like" One Under the Law
If you don't mind...this is my opinion... I really think that the answer to all our questions is the love of God above everything else. If I look at the cross, I see PURE LOVE. A Loving sacrifies. If we look at the 10 commandments and the judicial law, I think this is meant only for one purpose...ou...

An excellent EXCELLENT question Fidesetratio. Let us dissect your question then so that we can better understand. Note that I will answer your question two folds. First is why we had the Mosaic Law and second, the answer to your question if the Law came from God or from Moses. Old Covenant crime req...

So true brother Mike. I myself wonder how much hatred evil has for our God. his (satan) grasp on this world is so tight that he won't rest even for a second. Can you imagine the hatred he has for God? the father of all lies (the serpent) is cunning. We must always put our guard up. Anyways let us co...

Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ. I felt I need to add more emphasis on how we Catholics begin to gather, worship, participate, and join the angels and saints with God in the Eucharistic, liturgical celebration of the mass every Sunday. Personally, I feel drawn to our Sunday Catholic Mass and...
