Hi beng,
1)No I dont agree that the Pope is the supreme Pontiff. To me he is a brother in Christ ,no more no less.
2) beng I dont understand " church speak too well,so I am not sure what you are asking me. If you are asking me if all the bishops are related to Peter, I would say I dont agree with this, but I would agree that we are all brothers in Christ and seed from God.
3) answered them
4) simple yes I am simple , but I dont know which denominations you classify as protestant. LOL
5) too much of a jumble for this simple person
6) I dont understand your question
7) I am not a complicated person beng
8) well I am telling you I am a Christian. Surely you can answer to that. Everyone else has. You are the only one who finds it impossible to answer. This must be about our 6th posting ( I havent counted, just guessed)
9) Ast this is a statement of your belief, It doesnt need an answer.
Christ be with you beng

Ah, a common Protestant then.

Why it would matter to state whether you are Protestant, Orthodox or Catholic is because the answer would depends on your answer of choice.

The others just assumed you’re Protestant. I wanted to ask clarification from you. And it turn out that you’re ashame of what you are.

How do catholics see the soul. What do you understand the soul is made up of ( if anything) I read somewhere what someone thought but I can’t remember what was written. I have asked a couple of people on this thread but I haven’t had an answer yet. Could you help me. What happens when we are born again? What does this mean?

The Glossary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the soul is:
The spiritual principle of human beings. The soul is the subject of human consciousness and freedom; soul and body together form one unique human nature. Each human soul is individual and immortal, immediately created by God. The soul does not die with the body, from which it is separated by death and with which it will be reunited in the final resurrection.
So, your soul animates your physical body; separate your soul from your body, your body dies, and you, with only your soul, are like an angel. Your soul was created by God when you were conceived and henceforth will never cease to exist. Besides animating of your body, your soul is your intellect (mind) and your will, that part of you that knows and loves. Your soul is invisible and immaterial.

What happens when we are “born again” is described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as the fruit of Baptism:
1279. The fruit of Baptism, or baptismal grace, is a rich reality that includes forgiveness of original sin and all personal sins, birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ and a temple of the Holy Spirit. By this very fact the person baptized is incorporated into the Church, the Body of Christ, and made a sharer in the priesthood of Christ.
1280. Baptism imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual sign, the character, which consecrates the baptized person for Christian worship. Because of the character Baptism cannot be repeated.

When you are “born again” in Baptism, your soul, like a horse, is cleaned (past sins forgiven), branded (sealed), and given a rider (the indwelling of the Holy Spirit). Then it is up to you to heed your rider (the Holy Spirit), not ignoring your rider (ignoring the Holy Spirit and committing venial sin) nor throwing off your rider altogether (rejecting the Holy Spirit and committing mortal sin). If you have thrown off your rider (rejected the Holy Spirit and committed mortal sin), you can get cleaned up again (sins forgiven) and get your rider (indwelling of the Holy Spirit) back in the Sacrament of Confession.
