How many Christian Denominations are there?

[Pax]

Vox,

Now you have an obligation to go out and spread the word. There are many luke warm Catholics, and others who need the truth told to them. I am just starting a master program in Theology from Franciscan University in Stuebenville. I want to learn as much as I can so that I can evangelize. Defending the Catholic Church on this site has only deepened my Catholic faith. I have seen both sides of the fence, being raised Baptist and now coming home. This is why I think converts are often times so much more gung ho than cradle Catholics. Anyway Vox, good job, and I will be posting some other topics on the boards that you might enjoy seeing. God Bless you and all the others on the site.

1- I was born a Catholic

2- but became a lapsed Catholic for many years, it was due partly to many of my Protestant relatives and friends

3- which prompted me to find out more about the Catholic faith.

1- You already believed in the womb?

2- Last time I checked, God holds us responsible for our own actions. I don't think "it was their fault" will mean much at the Pearly Gates.

3- Isn't this what we all should do before we join a church?

Hey Vox your back. Where have you been? From your posts it looks like you probably went into seclusion at one of the coenobitic orders for a little R&R and re-indoctrination of the faithful. Anywho, I am glad to see you back with some excellent questions albeit a few too many. I will try my best to answer your major points but you will have to work with me and allow a little time to mull through them all.

You will have to forgive me of any

Looks to me like more circular reasoning. Adapt the definitions of words to suit your own purposes.

Wish I could get away with that. Maybe I could rule the world!

*Ahem*...OK, I'm better now.

Hi Steve, back with your old trick again I see, care to join the discussion instead of just snipped, mangled and paste and smarting over people's posts as you invariably always do?

I am still waiting for you to reply to many unanswered questions posed to you on those other threads, please don't pretend by feigning ignorance, they are there still waiting for your replies.

Here is one which I have been waiting: what is your take on Luke 1:28 and 42-43?

Welcome home to Mother Church and praised be to God. We all try our little bit and hope that it will make a little difference to all Christians regardless of denominations. You, Fiosh (where are you?) and Assisi seems to be doing a great job too, under this circumtances.

It's about Mary's visitation by the angel

And visiting Elizabeth.

Is there something I'm missing?

Hi honest-steve,

I know it's about the Annunciation and the Visitation, but you know very well what I meant.

I wonder by accusing me of being dishonest in your Post#131 without any reasons and worse without any evidence and explanation to back up your claim, would you call that dishonest too?

I can

what is so wrong with circular reasoning when it is not in contradiction with the scriptures but supports it?

You're kidding, right?

OK, just off the top of my head, i dunno, but how 'bout this?...

It's dishonest!!

Read it again, vox...

I said nothing about you. I was answering your question about circular reasoning.

Steve, trying to skirt around the issue again? You accuse me of employing circular reasoning. Then you said circular reasoning is dishonest. So much for your honesty.
