    Why must the pope be unmarried? What right do we have to add anything to God's Will?

    On afterthought, or rather epiphany, I apologize. I am realizing I know little through my studies. I still do not see how men can have a right to add to that which is perfect. Romans 12:2. I will most likely remain scripture only (sola scriptura?). Ultimately though, does it really matter...

    Why must the pope be unmarried? What right do we have to add anything to God's Will?

    My timeframe is off.I had to look a few dates up in A History of Christian Thought. The divisions began prominately around 47 AD. The canon and Apostilic Creed did not surface until the 2nd century in response to the divisions. If what is taught by Bishops is Christ's word, why did the...

    Why must the pope be unmarried? What right do we have to add anything to God's Will?

    I am just trying to get into the general mindset of different religious views. I do have an opened mind. As for early church history, I have studied early church history in depth and the canon was started well before the Catholic church finalized it. The Canon began when the early church was...

    Why must the pope be unmarried? What right do we have to add anything to God's Will?

    Hmmmm caused quite a stir. To victor: 1st point, Jeremiah was forbidden by God not men 2nd, What Moses asked the Israelites was a soon to be common practice before a religious event, 3rd point: Paul specifically states that it was his opinion and view point that celibacy is better than...

    Why must the pope be unmarried? What right do we have to add anything to God's Will?

    According to Catholic tradition the 1st pope was Simon Peter(Cephas). Where did such a tradition come from? The New Testament states that Peter was married: Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Corinthians...

    Birth Control- A pre abortion ?

    i need to look into this statistic to see if its true, but i will throw it out for all of ya to look for info on: 80% of all pregnancies (fertilizations) in the animal world end in natural abortion by not implanting. In women, they never know because its just a regular cycle. if such is...

    Guess birth control isn't so horrible after all...

    Most arguments i have heard against contraceptives are usually more concerned with the "morality" of using them over the side effects. Roman Catholics are the largest and most vocal of these groups. One arguement i have heard against contraceptives is they are wasteful of "seed." I need to...

    Christianity Demonizing Women

    Why does everyone go by words only with the 10 Commandments and other scripture and miss the underlying principles altogether? God gave man's and females equal but different roles. The ears hear and the eyes see. One is not inferior to the other. Men cant bear children and are not as strong...

    Why cant anyone be wrong?

    excellent pt michel. wrong is too subjective and i failed to use a more correct term. Perhaps a better way of phrasing such an idea is : why does everyone believe they are correct and not mistaken?

    Why cant anyone be wrong?

    Why is it that people cannot accept the fact they what they believe is wrong? I am open to such if someone can rationally prove what i believe and do is wrong. However, everyone believes they are right; that they all are doing God's Will. If this was truly so, why does the NT warn so much...

    Are you going to Heaven or Hell?

    I cannot say. It is up to God to decide.

    (Baptism) What it is and what it does.

    A friend of mine has a similar view. Faith only is a common idea. It is was faith only why would Peter reply in Acts 2:38 : Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the...

    (Baptism) What it is and what it does.

    Blueman, the thief on the cross was a different matter. They were still under the Judaic Law and therefore the principle cannot be applied. Christianity didnt come into play until Acts 2 on the day of Pentacost. It was then that the requirments of baptism came into play as others have already...

    Is stupidity morally incorrect? Should it be avoided?

    To me, willful stupidity and ignorance are immoral. Its a failure to live as God would want you to live. He did provide a brain for each of us. Apparently he wanted us to use them ;)

    Does God Hate?

    Saying God cant hate is placing a limitation on Him. God is GOD and He can hate something if He wants.
