rrargh If the pope is deemed infallible, who is glorified, the pope or God? The creature, or the Creator?

Adrenochrome Don't step down, bring your soap box back, I'm thoroughly enjoying your input. As a non-Catholic, I do feel that religious leaders (the Archbishop of Canterbury, to a lesser extent then the Pope, but still the same) are feted and treated in a way that Jesus...

rrargh For someone who serves a God as all-powerful as ours, you sure have a lot of questions about the authority of His Word, the Bible, while putting more faith in the infallibility of the church, which is made up of people like you and me. You'd think that the...

renmiciano The pope is definitely not God, more like God's representative or conduit to the human race. I do agree with you though, that some of the doctrines of the Catholic Church impose on believers in terms of faith. Popes have made mistake, but we rely heavily on...

babykay Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the light. No man cometh unto the father except through me". In other words, there is no mediator between God and man except Jesus. Not only is the pope supposed to be man's way to God, but they also have Mary as...

Just my opinion, but I think that teachers contribute a whole lot more to society than super models. Just a thought. All models have to do is look pretty and walk down a runway. Besides being anarexic, which I'm sure is...

Munhozmib Yes, I think the same as you. Teachers contribute a lot to the society... Also, they must train hard, and study too, to get where they are. Teachers have a hard duty in their hands, while models only have to be beautiful and thin (not easy, though). The...

MrsWickham1 I agree with you.Teachers are great and they give service like no other. They shoud be ranked up their in the highest paid career. What I really wanna know is who decides what to pay an individual and why a teacher is down there with mcdonalds employees.

curvychick77 I know what you mean. Teachers do contribute more time to kids and teach them. I believe because supermodels are more known for either their name or for looking good on the runway is why they get paid more. They have a celebrity status, that makes the whole...

What, now Limbo doesn't exist anymore. How many times has the Catholic church changed its views on things because it doesn't suit them or cater to their comfort zones. Hmmm...we can't stand the fact that babies could go to Hell...

tombiz And that is the power of the Catholic Church!! Imagine, in a single pronouncement with the approval of the Pope, a spiritual dimension could be deleted or even created. Whew! I hope the Pope has the power to just redefine the whole world we live in -- I mean I...

I love how Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican celebration yet here in America we celebrate it. People who are not Mexican and don't even know the reason behind Cinco de Mayo get together to party and get drunk. In all honesty, it's...

Scott You can celebrate it, but it is your choice to drink or not. If you decide to drink then you shouldn't drink too much. People that make it into a party drink regularly (and get drunk regularly, too). Really, I think it just makes sense, drunks (and people who...

prestocaro Hey, I'll use any excuse to party. I threw a party for the last off-season election announcements -- and I live in TX and am a Democrat/Independent so there was really no reason to celebrate. (cue the slapstick trumpet with a plunger effect) In all...

I'm curious to those of you that type G-d instead of God. Why exactly do you do that or what is the meaning for it? Is it part of your religion or a personal matter? Just wondering.

mattithyahu I have seen this a number of places all over the net (including comments on my blog sometimes) and do not understand why people do it at all. I don't know if it is similar to how in the OT when Yahweh was written, people would say Adonai because they couldn't...

filmbuff It is very common for those of Jewish descent to not write out any name of G-d, in a manner that is not respectfull but more importantly permanent. The basic belief is that the name of g-d is very powerful as it was used in the creation of the heavens and the...

Inky261 I think some Jewish of strict belive do this as they are not allowed to spell it or pronounce it as their interpretation of "you shall not have an image of God" stretches that far. I have seen it on some Jewish homepages. More I don`t know as I am a...

Lady_Justice I don't believe a real estate license is required for flipping houses, but you might want to check just in case it is in your area for some reason. A real estate license might be helpful whether required or not, and you can take a course to help you prepare...
