Why should one enter into dialogue on one’s own catholic faith?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE IMPORTANT, NO MORE CRITICAL, NO MORE WRONGLY UNDERSTOOD TOPIC, THAT THIS OR ANY CHRISTIAN FORM CAN AND SHOULD HAVE.

I AM, an INformed and fully practicing Roman Catholic; willing to discuss our beliefs and practices

Let us pray

I like to enter into dialogue because I have found I always learn best when I apply what I have learned.

I’m a firm believer if you don’t use it you lose it. I have been able to learn and retain so much about our Catholic Faith since I found these forums. Having a dialogue on faith and morals, on a daily basis, really keeps it at the front of you mind. This in turn will help keep Jesus out in front and will help to keep you on the straight and narrow, in God’s good Graces.

God Bless
 
To help others understand or gain greater understanding yourself.
Maybe someone will convert who knows.

Let me introduce a bit of myself,
A practicing catholic. Crossed the middle age. Learning faith matters. Listen homilies earnestly.
I used to be a participant in the Catholic Forums, about a few years ago. Lost touch with it…
I am trying to rejuvenate my involvement with this wonderful website.
PERPETUATE THE DIALOGUE ON TRUTH. JESUS CHRIST.
Yes willing to discuss. I figure out that when i enter into dialogue, i grow very much in faith. Truth becomes clearer. Jesus comes closer. Rather I behold at closer.

Now since the topic considered is FAITH, the deliberations shall strictly limit itself to it.
I am sure, those participating shall benefit out of it.
And if any post, may not be intentionally, outside the topic, he shall be politely pointed out, to refrain from doing so.
If the person persists, he shall be again politely.
Beating around the bush. LET US BEGIN. WHAT IS FAITH?
Explore Hebrews 11:1
 
MT1926 - remarks are interesting. if you don’t use it you lose it.
If faith is a burden one shall better avoid using it. Instead, it better take a little time, "on a daily basis" to unload it from one’s shoulders, open the sack, relish the gems in it.
DO WE HAVE TIME FOR IT. Follow the TRUTH , that amassing the TRASH.

i hear that faith is given only to the chosen ones, is that true? Is God partial.?
 
Sirach 9:14-16 As much as you can, aim to know your neighbors,
and consult with the wise.
15 Let your conversation be with intelligent people,
** and let all your discussion be about the law(Catholic Church) of the Most High.**
16 Let the righteous be your dinner companions,
and let your glory be in the fear of the Lord.
 
Kei is quite clear in that statement. The understanding becomes better. There is better focus.
The Jesus who seemed to be hiding from the limelight, , which was his 30 years of his earthly life style, seemed to be content in remaining seated at the right hand of his or OUR Father in heaven.
OR is it that he is closer than one can ever fantasise.
How close is Jesus in one’s life.?

I think I might have misunderstood your question. I didn’t realize you were honing in on the word “faith”. My remark was honing in on the word dialogue. Meaning I like to dialogue with others because the repetition helps me remember verses and their meaning.

Although now that I think about it I guess as a Catholic my remark could apply to faith as well.

If you don’t use it (faith working through love) you lose it (God’s free gift of Grace) 😉

I’m not quite sure what you mean from this statement? I can understand the need to relish in the gems of our faith. However, the statement one shall better avoid using it kind of caught me off guard. Immediately St. Teresa of Calcutta popped into my head, because I remember hearing she felt “dryness” in her faith for years. She prayed but felt silence from God and she didn’t know if she was doing what He wanted her to do. Basically, she felt burdened by her faith. I’m pretty sure she never took a little time, “on a daily basis”, and it seemed to turn out pretty well for her. 👼

I don’t think so.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Hi and welcome back, from an Oldie but a Goodie of the Old CAF

Might I suggest that if you desire to start a New TOPIC go to the FORUM you wish to user

And the left click on the letter “C” which I believe will permit you to do so. [There’s a MILLION people on this FORUM that can direct you better than Me]

But its not a good practice to change the topic on an existing thread,

FAITH IS:
  1. An expectation as the NORM for one’s personal salvation
  2. A requirement on the many Mysteries of our Faith such as the Trinity & the Eucharist
  3. Can be prayed for through the Holy Spirit
God Bless you,
Patrick [PJM} here on CAF

Sorry , i did not quite understand , how to introduce a new topic into the forum.
Please provide me the procedure with better details.
 
Here’s how I DO IT
  1. Select the forum you wish to use
  2. select any topic
  3. press the “c” key
  4. it should give you new topic prompts to follow
It works for ME

Goodluck!

Patrick
 
Why? B/c if you don’t take the gift of knowledge and faith to others, you are lacking in your Christian Duties as a Disciple.
 
Knowledgable people make good teachers.

But, not every teacher must sit in a classroom.

Jesus taught on the mountain, in the boat, in Jerusalem, in the Synagogue. Pretty much everywhere he went.

Those who teach in a classroom but not on the boat, etc…, are probably not as much like Jesus as they could be.

And I have a very active internet Ministry with over 100 people that I share our Catholic Faith with weekly

God Bless you

PJM,

I opened a new topic, in the Apologetics Forum,

"If our Jewish ancestors were using Lunar Calendar and is found to be more accurate, why do we not use it as our liturgical calendar? "

Hope the methodology used is alright.
 
Glad it worked for you:smile:

I’ll take a peak at it

God Bless

Patrick
 
Bon_Croix, stated,
“Those who teach in a classroom but not on the boat, etc…, are probably not as much like Jesus as they could be.”

Sure, but, one find it difficult to find boats everywhere. But the BOAT I figure out surprisingly is the church itself. The church needs to be taught. The LOVE AMONG ITS BROTHERS AND SISTERS shall become a SPECTACLE for the world to behold.
Each person shall turn out to be the living FIFTH GOSPEL for the world to read on.

We do our little bit wherever possible. Guided by the Holy Spirit, relying completely on his promptings, shall move ahead.
Welcome Holy Spirit. Lead us.

Halleluia.
