Would you please tell me what glue I should use to reattach this corpus to this crucifix? (See photo.) Could you link me to the product from Amazon.com? Could you tell me what materials these appear to be? (Is it olive wood and stainless steel?)

-- Pacwa, M (2011). How to Listen When God is Speaking. Frederick, MD: The Word Among Us Press. p. 11. Why is this not practically a stand-alone 'proof by contradiction' argument? It needs only a little fleshing out: If God created us for relationship with Him and intends to speak to us, he...

How would you refute this argument? Would you share resources online or citations for further study? All the history and miracles in the Christian Bible (including Hebrew Scriptures, both Old and New Testament) can be explained by aliens with advanced technology who deceived humans, rather than...

-- Pacwa, M (2011). How to Listen When God is Speaking. Frederick, MD: The Word Among Us Press. p. 16. Other animals like DDR German Shepherds (and even other humans) exhibit intelligence suggesting rationality is a matter of degree not kind, that humans are the most advanced intelligence, not...

-- Pacwa, M (2011). How to Listen When God is Speaking. Frederick, MD: The Word Among Us Press. p. 14. Can't the Bible also be explained by advanced aliens tricking humans? Doesn't this hypothesis contain more explanatory power as it also accounts for God's absence, silence, and refusal to...

Pacwa, M (2011). How to Listen When God is Speaking. Frederick, MD: The Word Among Us Press. p. 13. I don't need to believe that any physical thing exists before I am able to hear it. How much more should God be able to make himself heard than something lacking omnipotence like a tree falling...

St. John Paul II teaches that through our suffering we can share in Jesus' redemptive suffering and thereby help others achieve salvation. J. Sollier defines redemption as either 1) paying a ransom price for sin or 2) atonement for an offense. Together this raises two questions: How is...

I'm posting here because it seems the most appropriate place for moral theology: Since Church teaching does not appear clearly defined on this point, it doesn't seem to belong in apologetics. The way I see it, male masturbation is worse because it deliberately wastes seed, whereas with women...

-- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,436961,00.html How absolutely horrible. This outrage is one more indication of the deplorable state our government-run schools have become. I wish more would home school their children. They may actually go to university prepared. This indoctrination would...

I feel like I'm transitioning into one of those Christians who feels that he knows what's right, and others are sadly mistaken. Perhaps what's worse about this annoying attribute is that the Church not only encourages it but requires it: in the Catechism the Church teaches that it is guided by...

I gouged myself in the shower shaving my left leg, possibly the third time I've ever shaved my legs ... about 5 centimeters long, about 1.5 centimeters wide near the widest part, on my shin. (A skin avulsion is where a portion of skin is completely removed.) I've already asked God to heal it...

Really, it's not fair. I'm expecting this thread to attract men, due to the sexual stereotypes engendered in our society, but I hope women will respond, since I am rather transgendered. (That is, I fit more female gender roles in USA than male gender roles, by action, mental and physical...

I have thrown together a webpage comparing McCain and Obama's positions to Christian doctrine. I would like very much for you to read it and share your thoughts. You can use the list of links to check specific sections; see the table I made for a summary of the conclusions if you're not in the...

I'm not sure where to post this thread: There are many boards here, and they are ambiguously labeled. I'll quote from my webpage about clothing, but it would be better to simply go there and read it, as it is formatted correctly there: when copy/pasting the text, quotation marks were stripped...

I prefer playing standard timed games, not limitless "come back tomorrow" chess games. If you have Java installed and would like to play me in a timed chess game, reply here, PM or IM me. I typically play in Beginner rooms at www.pogo.com, a free gaming site that gives you tokens to enter into...

The original post may be found at Gaia Online. This morning I again read Mark 10.1-9, where Jesus addresses the issue of divorce: Footnote: (Hyperlinks to those verses are provided in the footnote at the provided website.) I had to read the following several times: I used to argue, "Of...

Can you answer any of the questions from my Bible Study webpage?

As far as I understand it, the Bible does not define marriage. Rather, it seems the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church decided what marriage should be, and then the powerful groups of Protestants, when they broke off, found no problem with their ideas. So now, reading the Bible...

This question stems from my dismay about gay marriage laws in Tennessee (USA). Basically, God gives us free will, correct? While God has placed negative repercussions into effect as a result of sin, to make us aware that the actions are in fact sinful, God does not actively stop us from doing...
