Also, were the first followers of Jesus called Gnostic Christians with a completely different look at Christianity then what the Catholic view is? The one thing i have never understood in Christianity is infant baptizing? It was a Pagan tradition and was first implemented into Christianity by the first Roman Catholics aka ex pagans. More than enough evidence has shown that Religious Pagan traditions are much alike Christian traditions, just with different dates and names. Anybody know why this is? As a Protestant, i wonder why our Holy Bible was written so many times and in some cases differ from one another greatly. Who is right and who is wrong, and who is to say which is right and what is wrong? I beleive Only GOD can judge. So how do i know that i am not being deceived by man? The reason i say deceived by man is because we have some very different views in different bibles. How do i know Jesus's words were not changed and or our view of him being the Son of GOD? There is much evidence that the Gnostics never worshipped him in the way we do today. Am i just reading a bunch of phony bologny, or do other Christians ever research and think about these things too? I thought the Catholic Church was started in the 4th or 5th century?

Like say you are at a crosswalk god knows that if we go straight we are going to get run over by a speeding drunk driver but if we go left we will find a winning lottery ticket on the floor. He doesn't make the choice for us but just knows what will happen no matter what choice we make.

Bummer. Don't know who is telling you not to read the Bible, but the Catholic Church doesn't say that. Over a three year period, pretty much the entire bible (minus the military stats, etc) is read in the readings. Every day there is a different set of readings consisting of one OT reading, a psalm, & a gospel reading every week, with an additional reading from the NT every Sunday. The fact is that any repetitiveness is because the Bible is read repeatedly in the mass. Why do babies get baptized? Well, I'm not sure of the reasons some protestant denominations do it (like presbyterians, etc.), but Catholics baptize infants because of what the Bible teaches us about what original sin IS, & what Baptism does. When we are born in the flesh, we are IN Adam. In baptism, we are born AGAIN of water & the Spirit, & become IN Christ. In baptism we are forgiven our sins (original sin only in the case of babies, since they are not capable of having committed any personal sins.) I've never heard of anyone being "raised from the dead" in modern times, (other than in the movies) but if you've seen it, OK. The Catholic bible has other books in it that other bibles don't because 1,000 years after the canon of the Bible was settled, Martin Luther took 7 out of the Old Testament. Who told you that "revelations is a lie"? Half of WHAT book is "missing anyway"? What is the Vatican "hiding from us"? I think you might be better served by changing your spiritual advisor, or at least whoever is giving you such inaccurate information. God bless. Chris Wow Jess,

There are miracles in the Catholic Church and incorrupt bodies of saints which is certainly a sign and a wonder. There is absolutely nothing vague about the the beliefs of the Catholic Church. You can read all about it in our Catechism. The Pope during WWII saved more people than any other church or organization. But there are a lot of lies out there about the Church. Which you would expect from the Father of Lies. You seem to have a lot of misconceptions about the Catholic Church.

I mean if the catholic church is the one church ( and I have been raised catholic) Why do they not carry out the examples that the apostles left behind? Why do I hear in church "DONT READ THE BIBLE I can only tell you" what is that???? Why are the readings the always the same messages? The "church" in my eyes is failing we do nothing for others, where are the catholic :"revivals" and bible studies? I was delivered from demons but not by a catholic priest. Why do babies get baptised???? Everything is habitual...and no true feelings...Im sorry to say somewhere down the road I got confused.. Look at the Revival in florida..REAL ppl are being healed and RAISED from the dead..Its not a scam Ive seen it myself..Look into it..because im getting confused and im stuck..and another thing how can we trust something that is so Vague? I mean take the bible for instance the catholic bible has other books in it that other bibles dont..Then they tell me that revelations is a lie..well Ive seen some things and felt something things and i feel sorry for all who believe this...Jesus is coming soon..many so called "strong" christians will be made a fool...many ppls blood shall spill..and the world will be no more of what we know...I mean good grief half the book is missing anyway..and the vatican hides stuff from us..and certain records are held like the pope who was running when the holocaust happened his a locked up and not allowed to be opened..I have a big problem..I dont think Jesus kept secrets so i disagree with the church How come the catholic church is not involved in miracles, signs and wonders???

Let me just focus on one, however: "If same-sex couples can marry each other, they should be allowed to adopt." Currently, all but a couple of states allow gay people to adopt. I know at least 10 gay couples who are raising kids, either through adoption or from previous marriages or because the birth parents died and indicated they wanted their (gay) sibling to raise their child. None of the gay couples lives in a state where same-sex marriage or even civil unions are recognized. The two circumstances are basically unrelated in terms of the law.
