"You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven." -Matthew 23:9/Catholic Online (Bible)
Can someone explain to me this contradiction in Catholicism? Since I grew up in a Catholic family I always heard that we should call the priests "father". I was just curious and I dig into the catholic Bible to see what it says about that. Here is the NKJV of the same verse...
We should not call "anyone" father. I guess it's only addressed to the religious beliefs. They also call saints to those who acted like heroes in history when the Bible specify that a saint is he who obey and remain in Jesus: "This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus." -Revelation 14:12 NKJV

Listen to God
The word of God is a love letter for those keep it & live it. If you can't hear God it's because you don't let Him speak to you through His Word. Yes, you can listen through your eyes by reading His powerful message. He wants to say how much He loves you and how much He wants to save you from His wrath. Don't be foolish, and today is a good day to remember not to be one.
Close the Doors of Hell
It sound ridiculous for many people when they hear that Jesus is the only way to the Father. I do not see any other way. I've tried all doors and everytime I opened them steam comes out of it, it's too hot. When I repent from my sins I know that Jesus is faithful and He intercede for me and for all of those who love Him in spirit and truth so the Father can forgive us. I have that hope in Him and not in man. Hope.
Hell have many doors, but heaven only One and that's Jesus Christ.

World peace. Is anyone interested?
Are you really, but really interested to have world peace in this little, tiny, pixel size planet called earth? First ask yourself: "...what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16:30, repent from all your sins (Read the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20 or Deuteronomy 5) & trust in Jesus Christ (Read John 12:36; 1 Corinthians 15:3...; Acts 4:12; John 3:36; Hebrews 11:6; John 6:37; John 3:3,7; John 11:25,26; John 3:16-21; 1 Timothy 2:5; etc...), then peace will come when Jesus lift us up with heavenly Father ("He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." -Revelation 21:4).
"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." -Luke 5:32
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." -Ephesians 2:8-9

April Fool's Day!!!
Hey, another April fools' day Bible verse before the night ends!!!: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." -Galatians 6:6-8
When you start partying getting drunk and acting like a fool in Easter's weekend you are celebrating Jesus' death and resurrection.....with the whip in your hand. May God have mercy on you. Make sure you don't die while sinning. I pray so God may change your heart before that happens. Please turn to Jesus while you are still on time.

Welcome to the House of God
The church is you and me as individuals. Each one of us is the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells, and together we can share His fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Jesus. I know I have sin against you and I understand that sin lead me to death. Please forgive me for all of those sins that separated me from you all my life. I repent today so you can bring me from darkness to life. I believe you died on the cross to save me from Hell and rose again defeating death. Please turn my heart away from wicked places and let the Holy Spirit guide me in every step I'm about to take. Thank you and all the glory, the honor and the power is yours forever. Amen!
If you made that prayer you are welcome to the family of God. Hurry, get a Bible or read the bible online (biblegateway.com or youversion.com) and start on the book of John. Go to a church that teaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ. If you need more information please email me at: chafish@gmail.com

Questions for Evolutionists
by Dr. Kent Hovind
The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?
13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and threecelled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?
14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?
