Jesus Can Handle Our Burdens

THAT'S NOT GOD!!!

Jesus Says Hell Is Real
By Bill Dunn
There are many misconceptions about Christian doctrine. One of the most pervasive fallacies is the idea that Jesus taught nothing but love and forgiveness, but afterward a bunch of intolerant, mean-spirited Church leaders added all that hell-fire and brimstone rhetoric to scare folks and keep them in line.

True Wisdom
True Wisdom

Who will be the next American martyrs?

The Role of Original Sin in the Homosexuality Debate
The Role of Original Sin in the Homosexuality Debate
By JP Nunez
I once got into a discussion with someone about the following Catholic teaching on homosexuality: This inclination [being attracted to the same sex]...is objectively disordered. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2358) The point of this teaching is that since homosexual activity is sinful, same-sex attraction is therefore an inclination to sin, and that can’t be anything but disordered.

Terror On Every Side
Terror On Every Side
