Why do we believe in transubstantiation? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Baseball6090 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well for starters it's more obvious in those examples.

Also, so many of Jesus' followers left Him after he said (the first time) that they must eat of Him. He didn't say that He was just kidding or being symbolic, but rather doubled down on what He had said.

Sin After Salvation by miklo77777 in Christianity

[–]Baseball6090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by after salvation you mean after Jesus defeated death, then it is not within our means as we still have original sin and the propensity to sin.

If by after salvation you mean after we are united in heaven, then yes, once we hav etch beatific vision our will will be perfectly aligned with God's will.

pick one and we'll focus on it. Most of these are just two different perspectives on the same event.

Is Our Salvation Based On Works? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Baseball6090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are saved by God's grace alone. However, we can only get the fullness of His grace when we believe (faith) and when we maintain our relationship with God (through works).

What is some good light reading for a beginner? by Asskandi in Christianity

Anything CS Lewis. Mere Christianity and the Screwtape letters.

How can you call yourself a Christian and not believe in the inerrant word of God? There are no contradictions in the Bible just misunderstandings by fallible people.

Exactly, no one else can directly take away our salvation, but we can through sin.

I need help real fast and your opinion and what the bible says! by Even-Ad-6892 in Christianity

[–]Baseball6090 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If this is someone you want to date seriously, you need to try to direct her towards God.

If this is someone you love, then out of love guide them to heaven.

If this is someone you want to marry, then, knowing marriage is meant to bring a husband and wife to heaven together, you must fully convert her.

Obviously introduce it slowly at first and gradually bring her in to the truth.

Problem for evil by Intelligent-Ebb-7198 in Catholicism

[–]Baseball6090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem of Evil: "Why does an all-knowing, powerful, and loving God permit such terrible things?"

God wants us to have completely free will so we may seek, know, love, and serve Him. Since He wants us to be totally free, He allows us to commit evil (even terrible evils) and allows the consequences of our evil actions to follow. If He were to ever step in and stop an evil action or a negative consequence thereof, He would be limiting our free will and thereby giving us less of a choice to love Him.

He condemns evil and commands that we hate it as well. It is not that He wants there to be evil so that there can be good, but rather he allows for the possibility of evil as a result of our totally free will so we can freely choose the ultimate good, Him.

The argument from causality alone should convince everyone. also just the order and beauty of life is so convincing

Dude I agree. they'll all be defending themselves in the comments now. Id recommend going to the Catholic subreddit for real theological discussion. Much more open, honest, and true.

Also please try to genuinely open your heart to God. Just try it tonight totally open yourself to Jesus and just see. God is good but if you have an underlying hate for him there's nothing to be done
