What is your point? So the NT fulfills the OT, and the OT prefigures the NT. That doesn't change the fact that all Grace comes from Christ's death (John 1:17, Romans 5:12 - 21, Romans 1:4-5 Rev 1:4) so if these sacrifices gave any Grace then they received it from Christ's sacrifice...

It is probably also important to note that this isn't an official title but Pope John Paul the Great did use it in encyclicals.

Jesus was walking down a street in Palestine when he came upon an angry mob that was about to stone a young girl. Jesus walked into the crowed and gave his now famous let he who has never sinned cast the first stone speech. When he was finished the crowed began to feel horrible for their...

Amen The most important thing to remember is that the Catholic Church can't change its beliefs. Many non-Catholics and even Catholics don't realize this. A faithful Catholic believes that the world will end before the Catholic Church teaches falsehood. In the mind of a Catholic for the...

I'll try to explain Mary as co-redemptrix the best I can. The first thing you have to understand is that for Catholics Mary is the perfect Christian and is the perfect example of how to be a disciple of Christ so many titles are given to her to be examples to all of us. So with that in mind...

The decisive question for a man is: Is he related to the Infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life? -Carl Jung Life isn’t a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. -Soren Kierkegaard The most beautiful thing that we can experience is the mysterious...

I think angels did have free will but they have a nature in which they won't go back on the original decision they made and since this original decision was to either support God or Reject him then they don't really have it anymore.

As I'm sure many of the people here know I'm Catholic. And I'm sure many of the people here know that the Holy Father is dieing at this time:(. I'd like to ask all the people who see this thread to pray for him and the next leader of my church. May God bless you all.

what do you consider the darkages? because Christians were worshiping on sunday as early as the second century.

What ever the Father does the Son and the Holy Spirit because they always work in unison so yes the Son and Holy Spirit helped but it is attributed to the Father just like salvation is attributed to the Son even though the Father played just as big a role in it.

through the son is implied it's rejected by them because the council of Nicea said only an authority equal to a ecumenical council could change it and they don't believe Papal primacy has that much authority or in any council after the schism.

Making a smoking area in a restaurant is the same thing as making a peeing area in a pool. - Heather Tanner

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls. -Dan Quayle I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people. -Dan Quayle I have made good...

If you ever meet the 'spirit of Vatican II', drive a wooden stake through its heart. -Fr. Benedict Groeschel

You can't bluff ignorance. -Adam Strantz (in reference to his poker abilities)

No hell isn't explicitly mentioned in the OT (scripture) I meant the OT as the old covenant before the Salvation of Christ. Kind of like how John the Baptist isn't mentioned in the OT but he is a last of the OT prophets the distinction between Sheol and Hell is made in the parable of the Rich...

Hell is a state of complete separation from God. So if this takes place somewhere then that place is Hell. As far as Christians are concerned it is the place of the unrighteous dead Jesus spoke of. In the OT the righteous went to Sheol and the unrighteous went to hell. Now those who would...

I'm just wandering whether or not you are assuming that the beatitudes found in the Dead Sea scrolls are before Christ or do you actually know because my understanding is that the latest of the Dead Sea scrolls were written around 70 AD and I've understood that Jesus actually influenced them a...

this is a good I do ;). Well, nearly literally one may not know they need to but that is a different story.

I'd also like to state that this view isn't even really Christian in general it's puritan view that most Protestant groups in America prescribe to but Catholicism and more orthodox Christianity is more in line with what is said above about sex in bananabrain's post. As for whether or not...
