Do you all think that it would be sinful if a man who is in good physical shape, walks around without a shirt on, or wears "revealing" clothes? I think its the same thing

no.. but hey why are you fighting? You have to realize that once you are ordained, you are in the spotlight. Don't let anyone say that your ordination was a mistake. When you accept that responsibility, you are carrying the image of the Church, d…

I think that verse has to do with intent. If someone is doing Good to be Christ-like, God rewards. If one intents to do Good deeds so other people will think they are great, then they have recieved their reward, adulation by others. In the case …

I think the term "skimpy" clothes, is again based on culture. I am not defending the lack of clothing in our society. What I am saying is that nudity in some cultures is not sinful. In some parts of Africa, the tribes normally wear a one piece bo…

Here is a file from the Coptic Church in the Southern US, here we see that the Eucharistic belief in the Roman Catholic Church and Coptic Church are exactly the same, but administration is different. Note: The Coptic Catholic and Eastern Catholic a…

SMS, I am praying for your friend especially, as well as everyone's who has asked. An update on my friend, they discovered another tumor on his spine, he will have to undergo radiation and possibly chemo. Please keep him in your prayers. His reco…

The temporal (earthly) punishment do to sin and the spiritual punishment are 2 separate issues. Although I oppose the death penalty, the real murder will pay an eternal price whether the temporal authorities properly found justice or not. This is …

Hey NC, The former ministry of the Roman Catholic church, as set up by the Council of Trent, had seven "Orders". The first four: porter, lector, exorcist and acolyte, were known as the minor orders; while the final three, Subdeacon, Deacon and pries…

For one thing, it may have been a fragment of historical record. The dimensions of the Temple, may have been the dimensions the architects used. Also, for the Bible reader, these make the event a reality, not just a story. As far as the geneology…

I agree that if because of someone's negligence and abuse of drugs, they shouldn't get a lesser punishment. BUT, I also believe that people should not be jailed for using some drugs, as long as they use it without harming or hurting anyone else, ki…

When you get to college: people will either appreciate your knowledge of culture, and things outside of their little world; or you will meet others who share your opinion. Either way, you are the more mature person. It kind of sucks (couldn't thin…

I strongly strongly suggest you transfer to another school or a public school. Which city are you in Mike, if your near me, I think I want to have a talk with your school administrators.

Personally, I think the word is too ill-defined to be able to answer these questions. Its my favorite former President once said, "it depends what the meaning of IS is." On my personal "crush" story. There have been a few girls, when I was in my …

The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present—body and blood, soul and divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine. Evangelicals and Fundamentalists frequently attack this doctrine a…

what do you mean you can't ask for intercession?? how will anyone stop you from praying the way you want? I think any school, public or private legally has to allow religious freedom as long as it doesn't interfere with others. Even in my Catholi…

Church Origins Mormon There are presently five denominations (there have been many more, but these have ceased to exist) among the religious people commonly called "Mormons," but who call themselves "Latter-Day Saints." Three of these are very sma…

Mormonism’s Debt to Puritanism "Mormon theology," says Hinckley, "deals with such widely diversified subjects as the nature of heaven and the evils of alcohol. Actually, in this philosophy the two are closely related. Since man is created in the i…

Distinctive Beliefs of the Mormon Church Are Mormons Protestants? No, but their founder, Joseph Smith, came from a Protestant background, and Protestant presuppositions form part of the basis of Mormonism. Still, it isn’t correct to call Mormons…
