This is an excellent topic for a thread. It is one of the main accusations against the Catholic Church that says we teach salvation by works, but that is not true. Some think we are saved by grace not by works, so they do nothing. If they sin, they are not grieved because, “It’s all...

I suffer from the same thing brother. We can try to do it on our own but then fail. Temperance is one of the cardinal virtues, and it takes work to develop, but every journey starts with the first step. If all we do is think of our bodies, it becomes a distraction, and our enemy loves...

If you want credibilty to truly represent Catholic Doctrine, then I suggest the Marian Catechist Apostolate headed by Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke in La Crosse, Wisconsin. While you may not get to speak to him personally , you could, but I don’t want to make promises for someone not myself, he...

You have stated your beliefs, but what are they based on? The words of men? What did the reformers do when they rebelled against the Church? Has the reformation healed the body of Christ or fracture it further? If so, how? I am not asking to mock you. I genuinely want to know what you...

I whole heartedly agree that it is all God’s power. So does the Catholic Church. Catholics are often accused of being a “works based” religion, and we ignore the grace of God in justification, but base it on works. It could appear that way, but it is not true. Consider the first five canons...

Only by the grace of God

Yeah I went to med school 30 years ago, and I had to keep quiet because I would start arguments, yet remain scientific, but they would degenerate into belief fights because the only evolutionists could not hold their position My pain medicine doc at the time tried to at least have a...

Further references from a simple Google search https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16339373/ I was mistaken, chimps and humans at 4% different according to this article. It does mention the 35million base pair differences It claims a common ancestor but cannot prove it or admit the it does not...

Father Chad Ripperger, The Metaphysics of Evolution is a good book to start. Simply review any article that purports to prove evolution. See the language that they use. Give me your favorite evolution article and we can go over it. Scientific materialism and evolution fail because they...

Yep it’s rough going through post graduate work as a believer in Genesis but it can be done. I studied the DNA of bacteria viruses and rats. Everyone around me believed in evolution, but it is not required to understand the structure of DNA, RNA or anything else in biology. I studied...

966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the...

That is a good point. I have never said that the works we do come from our own merit. As the scripture says it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. My point was that a man cannot claim to have faith and not have works. The works come from Christ, but we still do them. I am...

I am sorry that I have been away, many personal things to deal with at this time. No major importance but God is showing me the words of Job, blessed is the man whom God chastises, He wounds but He binds up, He smites but His hands give healing. I will review your last post, and we can continue.

Thanks for the video. I am finding more and more that evolution is a deception, and to tackle it is an exercise in crowd psychology, peer pressure and self doubt. It should not be that way if it were the truth. The truth is open and transparent and is readily believable once known. Deception...

Yes it is. It is not till some one buys it again that it loses the blessing, but since it is defective I don’t think that will happen I have ALWAYS had trouble with the metal rosaries that have beads held together by bent metal, except a gold one that I had once. The metal is made much too...
