AMEN! Thanks for your post cat...you inspire me! Blessings...

As in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. 35 If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 36 What! Did the word of God originate with you, or are you the only ones it has reached? 1 Cor 14:33-36 I don't think this agrees with Bob's teaching of what he thinks Jesus meant ... that men and women ALIKE are called in Matt 28:18. Pauls says women should KEEP SILENT...that probably doesn't mean they shouldn't share their faith and love of Christ with others, but they are NOT to PREACH. People who ordain women are simply disobeying what the Word says!

is there ANY example of ANY woman in a teaching AUTHORITY position in scripture? If so, where is it?

where does it say man and women alike. You are adding to scripture!

excellent question!!!

Doctrines are not essential. For instance I do not to have to have perfect flawless doctrine to know God and be loved of God. 9 Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. 10 If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; 11 for he who greets him shares his wicked work. 2 John 1:8-11

Is it important?

sorry, kmb...didn't realize that was you...my questions for you are too from the heart. I just get tired of people assuming that I don't know Christ because I'm catholic...well, think as you want. It really doesn't matter. I'm done here...oh, avyn jade...you too can rest. Christ knows exactly where I AM with Him...

9 he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it. Titus 1:9 17 I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them. Romans 16:17 6 If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed. 1 Tim 4:6 3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 1 Tim 1:3 8 Now we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted. 1 Tim 1:8-11 1 But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine. Titus 2:1 so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. Titus 2:10 Apparently, called, DOCTRINE is VERY IMPORTANT in knowing TRUTH...WHERE do the Apostles speak of it only being about a 'personal relationship with Jesus Christ'? I see them speaking of SOUND DOCTRINE EVERYWHERE! I'm not sure you got that?! :x:

my heart is FULL of Christ's love, amazing grace! believe it or not, called, I DID exactly the same thing almost 7 years ago! YES He is! He alone is GOD! I know the commandments...they are IN MY NEW HEART! but Christ GAVE us an intellect...did He not? I used to know NOTHING of the faith...I didn't really even understand the Holy Spirit, the sacrifice Christ DID for me on the cross, etc. And through my asking Him into my heart...opening up my heart, realizing that I was NOTHING WITHOUT HIM, grace took over...and through grace AND the God-given intellect, I LEARNED MY FAITH... what are you talking about...you've got some nerve implying that because I have intellectully articulated my faith that His sacrifice means nothing to me. How pompous. yes I do...and you really have NO IDEA...do YOU "Take, Eat...THIS IS MY BODY" ? HOW do you EAT HIS BODY? HIS FLESH? Let's just not go through our differences...I respect that Jesus is in your heart...why do you insinuate he is not in mine. But truly, I don't care what you think of me...for Christ knows truly what is inside me, my heart, my mind, my soul! That is ALL that matters... I'll forgive your harsh judgment of me...Lord have mercy.

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us. 2 Thess 3:7 SO, shame on Paul...he took his focus on Jesus and put it on himself and the other apostles? :x:

thank you for sharing...you know...I was searching for that deeper relationship with Christ because I too, as a protestant, did not have one...and I CHOSE to become Catholic, and my faith & my personal relationship with Christ Jesus has strengthened and deepened beyond what I could ever have imagined. So I understand where you're coming from... :il:

Well, it isnt in scripture that Mary parted the Red Sea either, yet Moses did. Do you beleive Mary did as well? where do you come up with this stuff??? Don't believe that she was assumed into heaven. One day you will know for sure one way or the other. The Assumption The doctrine of the Assumption says that at the end of her life on earth Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven, just as Enoch, Elijah, and perhaps others had been before her. It
