    Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith?

    That's an incredible reply. I didn't realize that I may be trying to keep accounts. But now that looks more plausible. I struggle to love, I can appreciate the gifts that God gives to me, and I am in constant prayer, but to anyone else I am just a little bit isolated. Or totally isolated... but...

    Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith?

    Thank you so much for your replies. I really appreciate your help everyone! I just don't understand how it works that God chooses you to come to him, authors your faith, and perfects it or finishes it, but at the same time we are free to come to him on our own and seek him of our own free...

    Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith?

    The Catechism states that man is created to freely seek his creator and attain his full and blessed perfection by cleaving to him... But what does the Scripture in Hebrews 12 mean that says that Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith? How could these two be in alignment? Thank you.

    The three levels of the bible

    I felt the same way. Just wondering where I can read about it? Is it necessary to know the history of the faith before you convince others to believe in Jesus?

    The three levels of the bible

    How about the three levels of the bible? A freemason at the pool told me about the bible being written in three levels. One tells a story of a garden with a serpent; this is for common folk. Second level tells a story of sex for adults; third story tells of a jealous, insecure GOD (i say this...

    The different levels of the bible

    How about the three levels of the bible? A freemason at the pool told me about the bible being written in three levels. One tells a story of a garden with a serpent; this is for common folk.

    First Anglican service tomorrow

    Hi: Do you remember your first time attending an Anglican service? I was baptized Greek Orthodox but I have gravitated toward the Anglican Church. Tomorrow will be my first service... I believe. I know I was in this particular cathedral as a kid... maybe it is my second! Do you relate? Peace
