Yes.. but does this mean it's literal or more like spiritual? Spiritual I can understand, but the literal part (that it physically becomes his physical body/blood) is where my skepticism or agnosticism on it starts to click. I mean, I do see these verses but was Jesus literal on it? Your post...

I know. It's a struggle. I normally just say to myself that "I just don't know".. and I look at the other churches such as the Orthodox and even Lutherans who also believe in the Holy Eucharist the same way, so it does let me know there is much deeper truth that I am just not getting. I want to...

I'm not making an argument but just sharing why some catholics, such as myself struggle with the faith in regards to the Holy Eucharist. Science can't prove the Trinity but the difference here is that Holy Eucharist is a physical object. It's just when it is said to be literal then it is hard...

I've identified as a Catholic for many years and am always ready to defend my faith. However, I sometimes question if I'm truly Catholic. I've taken so many "what denomination are you" online polls, and each of them indicate I'm more aligned with Anglicanism than Catholicism. Anglicanism leads...

It's legal. It seems weird/wrong now because she is still a teenager but once that girl starts reaching her mid 20's (or even just 23), that 8 year age isn't going to seem that much of a big deal. It's normal.

I have someone I care deeply about how is lost in a cult known as the Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is a Filipino made cult that not only denies the divinity of Christ but has so much control over their members. This cult forces things such as mandatory attendance 2x a week, discourages their members...

Hello everyone. I've been in a good relationship with someone and we recently talked about our beliefs. She confessed to me that she was a member of the "Iglesia Ni Cristo" (INC). The INC are I would say the Filipino version of the Jehovah's Witnesses, maybe even stricter. In other words it's a...

just tell her straight up. Your mom is an adult, she has heard worse in her life and maybe she is unaware that her nips are poking out.

A lot of things weren't discovered back then during the bible. The moon being a star, giving it's own light, is as old as the bible too.. knowledge of the existence of the other planets is younger than some parts of the bible that doesn't mean none of what we discovered later is false.

To me it is. The thing about Sola Scriptura is that it is also seems to be redefinable to the point that sometimes protestants make so much excuses about it that it doesn't sound like "scripture alone" anymore but more prima scriptura. I was watching the recent debate between George Farmer and...

Well, the point was that Manga being the starters or innovators of the whole diversity can't be true because of Marvel, especially the X-men. The whole story of the X-men is inspired by the human rights stuff with Prof X. being inspired by MLK, and Magneto being inspired by Malcom X. Also, they...

I remember watching that video and I felt it was inaccurate. I don't know about the stats in regards to demon slayer but what you gave about diversity isn't completely true. The X-men comics where practically all of that.

I think it is nice that pope is able to give a good image of the church when speaking about political things like this. Many people have antagonized the church because of homophobia, and in many ways they are right. We historically have been the reason they walked away from God and because of...

You didn't understand anything I said. I never said man "received any spirit", i'm saying the whole "created in the image of God" doesn't apply to our physical natural bodies but our spiritual one, you think God has nipples, a rectum, a belly button, etc like your actual body does when creation...

Everything you just said here has no relevance or even a connection at all to what you've quoted or to each other. I referenced Gen 1:16 and with that my post to you was if you believe the moon itself is an independent light or that it just reflects light and this is your response? Deep down you...
