I love the Acts of the Apostles. It's nice to see the similarities in the Early Church and the Church I belong to.
Yes, I attend a church that is definately a New Testament church. But is it THE New Testament Church?
We follow Christ's ways just like in the NT. |

ebia-
You seem very content in your world.
It must be nice to think that no one needs Christ to obtain Salvation.
Jesus said that He is the way, not a way.

You do NOT see the contradiction in your post, Nickolai. How can the BROTHER of Jesus say this his mother was a virgin? It's absolutely impossible! If Mary was a virgin all her life, then how was James born? That's why that statement is completely bogus and was not canonized. For some reason, you have a hard time seeing through false teaching.
He was a son of Joseph's But since the word in greek used at the time (Adelphos) means all close relatives he can still be called brother without litlerally being a full blood brother According to tradition, he was a widower when he married Mary. So Two.
Wouldn't he have had to take his whole family into Bethlehem? |

Such as the mother losing her life instead of her child? God forbid she put her child's life before her own! Mothers who do that would leave their children in a burning building rather than risk their lives to save them.
I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but I have never met a woman who aborted because her life was in danger.
However, I could not honestly judge a woman who aborted on those grounds. I would not trade shoes with her for anything in this world.
I would think that a woman in that situation would have wanted the baby to begin with, then would have had to make that painful decision.
I am very much pro-life and that is the only gray area that I see in the whole issue.
I thank God that I have never been in that situation because I can't say for sure what I would do.
I know that I would start off trying to save both of us, but I can't say what I would do if it came down to a choice of saving the baby's life or my own.
All I can do for that woman is offer prayer and support.
If that makes me self-centered, then so be it. |

Well, I just ried to access the open website on catholicism and found out that i am not authorized to do so.! This is just an information page where listings of anything dealing with catholicism is open to the public. Any one of you could access that page, PROVIDED you believe in the infallibilty of the pope. I'm beginning to be truly frightened. I feel like I'm in Nazi Germany. Where is this coming from?
You are welcome to come to my website and learn about Catholicism. I also offer to teach you anything you want to know. There are no secrets. Did Mary die and then go to heaven? Or did Mary, go to heaven alive? Brother Love  < ))>< The Church hasn't stated one way or the other.
Was Mary a sinner? |
