What happens when those who rely exclusively on Scripture disagree with one another? Those who say, “The Bible clearly says…” can’t seem to agree on: Salvation is instantaneous / Salvation is a lifelong process Baptism saves / It’s just an outward sign The earth is old / It’s young Only men pastors / Women pastors Once saved, always saved / You can lose your salvation Faith alone / Faith and works together Predestination / Free will Infant baptism / Believer’s baptism only Rapture before tribulation / Rapture after tribulation / No rapture at all Literal thousand-year reign / Symbolic millennium Israel and the Church are distinct / The Church is the new Israel Speaking in tongues for today / Gifts ceased with the apostles Divorce and remarriage allowed / Never allowed Drinking alcohol sinful / Permissible in moderation Contraception acceptable / Always wrong Hell eternal / Hell annihilation Sabbath binding / Sabbath fulfilled Christians must tithe / Tithing was for Israel only The Eucharist is literal / The Eucharist is symbolic The Mass is a sacrifice / The Mass is unbiblical Confession to a priest / Confess directly to God Global flood / Local flood War can be just / All war is sinful Women must cover their heads / That was cultural Saturday Sabbath / Sunday Lord’s Day Infants innocent / All born guilty Jesus descended into hell / He didn’t God still heals through miracles / Miracles ceased Prophecy continues / Prophecy ended with Scripture The Holy Spirit indwells at conversion / At a later experience Church membership required / Unnecessary Elders must be ordained / Any believer can lead Images and icons forbidden / Sacred art acceptable Worship with instruments / Only a cappella singing Dance in worship / Dance is irreverent The dead are conscious / The dead sleep Humans have free will / Every act is determined Christians can eat anything / Certain foods remain unclean God hates the sinner / God only hates sin Christians must obey the Mosaic law / The law was abolished Children can take communion / Only baptized adults Christians can bear arms / Christians must be pacifists Christians should evangelize all / God saves whom He will Praying to saints is idolatry / Praying to saints is intercession Mary was just a woman / Mary was uniquely blessed Faith alone saves / Obedience proves faith
The Bible teaches Sola Scriptura. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." —2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis sued the Trump administration on Monday, saying a Missouri jail that holds immigrants for ICE has kept priests from hearing confessions or giving Communion. The jail proposed having a guard hand detainees a packaged host, which Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski called “sacrilegious.” The suit carries Pope Leo XIV’s fight with the administration into federal court, nearly a year after he urged American authorities to let pastoral workers reach detained migrants. thelettersfromleo.com/p/foll…

You're not a real wife unless you buy enough material to make 100 velvet pumpkins, start one and get halfway done with it before losing all interest in the project, and then buying 37 of them off of Amazon to get all the different colors and sizes 😤

This is how you can tell MAGA is the furthest thing from a “Christian” movement. Whatever a MAGAs personal brand of “Christianity” is, they rejoice in the cruelty of depriving “Samaritans” of the ability to receive pastoral care.

BREAKING: YES! The Catholic Church hits Trump with a MASSIVE lawsuit after his administration denied access to clergy seeking to administer sacraments to detainees. This should knock these fascists down a peg or two... “As a bishop I am responsible for every soul in my archdiocese, and that includes those who are in the prisons,” stated St. Louis Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski. He said that his priests "cannot hear confessions, they cannot celebrate Mass, they cannot give ‌the ⁠anointing of the sick to any of the detainees." Rozanski accused the administration of "robbing the detainees of their rights to have access to these sacraments." His archdiocese has filed a lawsuit alleging that a detention facility in Missouri blocked them from accessing Catholics being held inside, violating their right to receive communion and confession. The archdiocese says that most of the roughly 150 detainees are Hispanic Catholics. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of ​Missouri, the suit names officials at Homeland Security as well as the local sheriff. It reveals that clergy have been restricted to a paltry four-hour window to meet with detainees at the Saint Genevieve County Jail, and even then they are separated by glass, meaning that they cannot administer the Eucharist. Denying Catholics communion is a grave violation of their religious rights and a clear sign that there is nothing truly "Christian" about this White House. The officials at the jail suggested that the priests could place the consecrated communion host — which Catholics believe to be the literal, physical body of Jesus Christ — inside a no doubt dirty container, which the guards would then pass along to the detainees. Archbishop Rozanski slammed the idea as "sacrilegious." The archdiocese is demanding that its clergy be granted a level of access commensurate with their importance to the detainees, which would mean treating them like consular officials or attorneys. Please ❤️ and share if you support this lawsuit!

Russ Vought, in his official capacity, has the power to interfere in elections by replacing nonpartisan election officials with loyalists, cut critical funding, and block independent election oversight. Trump wants to rig the election, and he’s shouting the quiet part out loud.
Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

Catholics, I want your honest opinion on this. A Catholic could not attend Sunday morning Mass because his employer required him to work and would not permit him to leave. He followed Mass online. He left work around 4 p.m., got home around 5 p.m., and remembered that he could attend Sunday evening Mass by 6:15pm. However, he was preparing to attend a family birthday celebration. He thought, "Maybe I’ll attend Mass after the celebration," but the celebration began around the same time as evening Mass. He eventually forgot about Mass completely. How would you classify this? And why? A. Mortal sin B. Venial sin C. No sin D. It depends on the circumstances/culpability.

How do you know when you’re actually ready for a relationship? (Not when you want one, when you’re tired of being single or when you meet someone you really like). Relationship readiness has more to do with whether your life, your capacity & your choices can actually support the kind of relationship you say you want.
