If any of you have any questions on defending our faith please ask through the blog. we will be checking it frequently. I hope everyone enjoyed Apologetic night on Mary and the Saints, i know some of you had questions after but we were short on time so this is your opportunity to ask away. Joe, Danniel, and Me will be available to answer your questions, just know that if we don't know the answer we will find it. the Catholic Church is endless in her theology!!
St Mary mother of God. PRAY FOR US ALL!
According to the non-denominational bible study group I am studying with, St. James is the flesh brother of Jesus. Did Joseph and Mary have any children after Jesus?
ReplyDeleteHi Gary, We posted a response to this great question as its own Blog Entry. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone rebut this counter-arguement? I'm doing this for a philosophy paper using the St. Thomas Aquanis Method.
ReplyDeleteP1: If abortion is not legal, there will be women who would be desperate enough to find a specialist to abort her fetus illegally
P2: She would be putting herself at risk of an abortion operation from a quack.
P3: She could die along with the fetus.
C: For the life of the woman, abortion should be legal.
Hi guys, I'm in an EXTREME pickle. I posted this same question in Catholic Answers Forum for more insight from more Catholics around the world. I coppied and pasted it below for you to get some leeway into it:
ReplyDelete"Hi, I'm a young adult Catholic male who is in his second year of college. I have been bombarded by most of my family members and a couple of my friends who constantly ask me why Catholics and other Christians are trying to illegalize same sex marriage? Each one of them will not allow me to use Biblical or Faith based sources because either they say religion is just a guide, is used to control people, is illogical to science, and/or is seprated from the state. Plus they hype on how interracial marriage was considered illegal and sinful, and that I am an interracial minority.
"It got to the point that tonight a non-catholic collegue got me to admit 'I see no reason or logic why gays cannot marry'.
"Currently after tonight, my view point is this: 'Homosexuals are people who have the same rights we do. Even mother Theresa called homosexuals 'Friends of Jesus'. But to be truly Christian, a homosexual person must act chaste in according to the bible like the rest of us heterosexuals. HOWEVER, we cannot enforce a non-christian to follow this principle because doing so will violate the 1st ammendment's freedom of expression and the 9th ammendment's right to privacy. Thus a Christian cannot vote on a bill that will enforce the state to force people to follow our faith, especially since God wants us to have free will. We can warn people, as we've been doing for a long time. But if they do it anyways, despite our warnings, the our blood is not on our hands on the day of judgment.'
"So my fellow brothers and sisters in the faith, using logic only (because my opponents will only listen to logic), why should I care if non-Catholic gays get married in America? I ask because I do not want to error in my walk with Christ."
