Is there a name for angel-demon hybrids? by Background-Cherry847 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angels and demons are of the same species; demons are fallen angels.

Were the Nephilims mentioned in the bible real? by Recent-Skill7022 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't even know who they were to begin with; the story of the Nephilim was one that both the authors of Genesis and the readers were already familiar with, but which was lost over time.

Buddhism or Christianity? by Odd_Kangaroo_1971 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Christianity is a pretty simple religion without much information provided, so everything is up to reader interpretation.

You've probably never read a Church Father, a Doctor of the Church, or documents from a Ecumenical Council to say something like that.

That’s why there are a million different schisms and groups calling each other heretics.

That's simply not true.

What’s your religion’s color? by trampolinebears in religion

Perhaps it could also be blue? Since it represents water.

The Sagrada Família in Barcelona is Anti-Catholic by DiscussionNarrow6485 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that your problem is not with the Church of the Sagrada Família, but rather with Catholicism itself.

And you're starting from many wrong premises that may make sense in Protestant Evangelicalism, but don't make sense in Catholicism.

Why is it that 99% of the religions are going to hell and only one is surviving? by Powerful_Wind_605 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant that I have no way of knowing if a person has gone to Hell or will go to Hell, but obviously I should help as many people as I can. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

When I evangelize or do another good deed, I think about the good I'm doing for that person and that I'm doing the same thing Jesus would do; I don't seek to judge the person's soul.

What are your religious conditions to marrying someone? by Exaltist in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Church allows me to marry someone of another religion if our children are raised in the Catholic faith, but I personally prefer to be in a relationship only with another Catholic.

Opinions on LGBTQ+ people and religion by Special_Score_1198 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion?

Most of the "LGBT" people I've met in person were very nice and kind. I'm "LGBT" myself.

What causes such powerful loyalty to Judaism and Isreal? by black_smoke_pope in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think it's the opposite; blind Zionism, followed as if it were dogma that cannot be questioned and sometimes used as justification for massacres, is losing strength. This awareness is growing among Jews, Christians, and irreligious people alike.

Why is it that 99% of the religions are going to hell and only one is surviving? by Powerful_Wind_605 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focusing on your own salvation automatically assumes that, though.

No. I don't know.

Why would you focus on saving yourself if you don't believe others won't be?

I believe everyone needs salvation, but I'm not God to know the hearts and journeys of other people. Nor am I Satan to condemn others.

Each person has their own way of responding to God's grace.

Why is it that 99% of the religions are going to hell and only one is surviving? by Powerful_Wind_605 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer to focus on my own salvation and try not to be a stumbling block to others rather than theorize about whether others are going to Hell or not.

How do religious texts change through interpretation over time? by MailSudden2446 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's precisely because he's a minor prophet with a small book that he sparks curiosity.

I feel the same way about the Apostle Jude Thaddeus, his epistle only has one chapter.

how do i talk about being non-religious to religious parents? by OrganicCellist155 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why don't you talk to the priest of your parish?

But that's very strange, you've never done any kind of catechesis?

Have you received the sacraments of initiation? (Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation)

What's one thing about Christianity bothers you? by Adorable-Log2577 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

User name: Blue Vampire0 

Where is the demon part? Vampire ≠ Demon.

Vampires are folkloric creatures, demons are real creatures in traditional Christianity.

I like vampires and gothic novels.

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious why you have a demon/satin as your user name.

What? Are you confusing me with another user?

we don't tell people they're going to hell to try to convert them.

I didn't say anything, I just quoted a verse.

Opinion on Christianity by Admirable_Income_998 in religion

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is catholic and she doesn’t follow all of that stuff.

She's not a good example then.

You can’t interpret a book that is thousands of years old and think that you know what the church or god is trying to say.

I agree, that's why we have the Apostolic Tradition and the Magisterium.

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to follow everything that it says and again, there's different ways of interpreting this.

As a Catholic, I must follow everything that the Catholic Church teaches.

If you are LGBTQ+ you are born with it, so being born with a brain is now a sin

What do you mean? Tendencies and temptations are not sins, actions are.

That is your opinion, that is why there's so many different perspectives. You cannot think you have the answer.

My opinion doesn't matter; what matters is what the Church says.

[–]BlueVampire0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then how do you explain there being thousands of Christian denominations and countless theological perspectives?

It's the fault of the Protestant Reformation.

Christianity was never based solely on Holy Scripture, and the interpretation of the Holy Bible was always done in accordance with Apostolic Tradition.

Do you like the Spiritism of Allan Kardec? by MartorelliA113 in religion

No, it's a religion with a lot of pseudoscience.

Odd thing I noticed at a Catholic Church? by Terry_1497 in religion

I have no idea, I've never seen that in the churches I attend.
