She said she was not saved. Being Catholic does not make you a Christian. You can be religious about anything including changing the oil in your car. Being a Christian is a personal relationship with Jesus.dems4me said:

No opinions matter. Only the word of God, the Bible, matters in regard to matters of faith and the scripture.

No 2A, the fact of the matter is - I spend more time looking up my ownshortcomings than choosing all the sins that I don't commit to pick and bash on. I don't have time because I'm at work -- don't forget the scriptures about being a good worker too, lest I be a sinner in that area too. I don't post from home so... there ya' have it. I'm just doing what I recall while here at work and all the while... trying to work. If I was well versed in the sins of everyone else but myself - as you appear to be, then I'd be posting exact references for scripture, not just pulling up a concordance and block copying what ever interpretation suits me to further bash those that have sins other than mine.
You keep saying I belittled or berated homosexuals. Where? Show it to me. Where?dems4me said:
Homosexual acts are sin. Period.

1. One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
2. Showing a loving concern for others; humane.
There were more, but I chose the two that apply to me. And Catholics are Christians.

I rest my case.
Some Catholics are Christians. Just like some Pentecostals, some Lutherans, some Baptists, and some name a Christian church are Christians. Some are just members of the church and have no personal relationship with Christ which is the true meaning of being a Christian.K_Jo said:
We did not evolve from the apes if you believe the Bible. As a Catholic Christian you do believe the Bible right?K_Jo said:And what about homosexuality in nature? If it's so unnatural, why to the monkeys (from whom we evolved) do it?
Salvation is the first step in developing a relationship with Jesus the Christ. Without salvation, being saved, you have not even started the relationship with Christ or being a Christian.K_Jo said:

I was saying me!!! NOt you -- I was implying I spend too much time on here at work as it is... not YOU.
You belittle and berate gay people by condeming them to Hell. I'm saying it is NOT your place to do so, but Gods. You use your Bible as your final authority to state they are going to Hell, and I use my Bible as the final authority that has a Jesus in it - one that has died for our sins and about the Bible being full of Love. Whatever, we just go round and round on the issue. You were correct though, I was wrong in on one thing... I thought the religious forum was supposed to be a place for peace, understanding, compassion, tolerance, acceptance and love for one another - not hatred and damning people to hell and then denying how that is belittling someone. Whatever. I'm moving on to the next forum on here ... oddly enough titled "Recognizing a stroke" .

I wasn't trying to be funny.
But,
I'm not perfect... and its an area I'm trying to improve on I'm saying if I was to exert even more time yet still at work to look up exact scripture for this scripture slap fest, I'd be yet further sinning...
