Part B In response to my comment, you continued: “You also wrote: It is false because the Bible is silent on this subject and doesn't speak for or against contraception.” That is true. It is true because in the realm of morality it is neither moral or immoral. A response: Concerning the...

DHK, You’ve suggested that I take topics on one at a time. However, it’s not me bringing things up. I responded initially, with a direct comment concerning the question of Muslims and whether or not they should be understood as worshiping God Almighty. Everything since then represents my...

Darrell, Gotcha. Okay, thanks. I see where you're coming from now. I will get back to you. I have had the luxury this evening of some free time. Usually, I would not be able to find the time for something like this so easily. My family was out all evening. I was "left behind" with the dog... It...

Darrell C., Greetings. I am absolutely happy to have you chime in. I do appreciate your questions. I don't think it would make a lot of sense for me to produce a response here when there are a number of links I could share with you which would speak to your questions more clearly than I likely...

DHK, You wrote: The Catechism specifically says: 2399 The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or...

DHK, I see that you wrote something else about contraception. I will address it as soon as possible. For now, consider the following. You wrote: This is your assertion: Meanwhile, the Catholic Church holds fast to the truths of Christ, but it is false. A response: My claim (that the Church is...

DHK, Thanks for the response. It is heartening to know that I'm not just left here waiting. You said: Perhaps. I made one or two posts and then you answered with a full page of posts which I didn't want to take the time or energy to go through. If you are going to devote so much time to one...

DHK, As I said above, I am not experienced in forums such as this one. It seems, though, that common courtesy and charity would be upheld here. So I am wondering: Are you planning on following up with me? After all, this is a forum. And you have made many philosophical assertions. How about...

Gerhard, I think I understand what you're saying here. Still, though, you're not explaining a lot. You and DHK have both made many assertions. I don't think a single one has been substantiated Scripturally or otherwise. Also, just notice how unScriptural nearly everything you say is. Much of...

Thanks again, Walter. I am encouraged by your chiming in here! Herbert

Gerhard, You said: There you go. You have made your move. A response: I am confused. What do you mean by "There you go. You have made your move."? Is there something I said which you find questionable historically, Biblically, or otherwise? You also said: Only RCs and Evangelicals esteem...

Gerhard, You said: Away with Luther as with the pope. When Christ says something, it's not the pope or Luther. But when the pope or Luther sneezes, the world catch their flew. A response: No Catholic claims that a Pope's statements should be understood as exactly the same as the words spoken...

Hell, DHK- As I'm new to this website and don't know the "etiquette" of a forum like this. I am under the impression that since you took a "shotgun" approach and made a host of claims, which I attempted to field, the "ball" is now in your court. At least, in a normal common sense situation, that...

Part VI You continued: Paul went on three missionary journeys and established about 100 churches all independent of each other. A response: Writing to the Corinthians, St. Paul said the following: “Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ...

Part V You continued: Fourth, Paul, and the others, established churches, not a "Church." A response: Local Churches can and are unified to one another through the broader umbrella created by the shared communion of the episcopacy. This is what allowed St. Paul to travel about, write to...

Part IV You continued: Tradition says he died there, but that is tradition, and given that, that would be the only time he went to Rome, dragged there as prisoner and then martyred. He was never there as a bishop or in any place of leadership in any church. A response: You’re mistaking things...

Part III You cited the following: Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. A response: Again, you’re not arguing against a Catholic by raising this issue. Catholics thoroughly affirm and regard that passage with the...

Part II You continued: ...who came up with a document, the Catechism, which contains doctrines of fallible sinful men, and a whole lot of error contrary to the Bible. A response: I understand that these statements and assertions represent how you’ve made sense of the Bible and its place in...

Hello, DHK- Allow me to take some time to respond to your remarks. As I see it, your remarks represent a complex and flawed system of thinking. It will take me some time to address the many things you brought up. And I will only be able to very briefly address some of your many points. But I...

Salty, Thanks for asking. It’s been a long road and one I would not have expected to walk. I’ve tried to come up with some ideas to relay my heart to you and it’s not been easy. I could respond by writing about Holy Communion. I could respond by focusing upon the Scriptures. I could respond by...
