No, I am not afraid of punishment. I rather talk to Jesus directly, if
and only if he's still around after the so-called resurrection.

One could always choose a different if not a rocky path to seek what you
called "truth". In the end, it's about choices, not traditions nor
superstition.

Still, you became a Catholic following your parents.

Is that choice free then? Did you have a choice? Did your family allow a
choice?

I was raised Catholic. I was given the choice of Catholic (mom's
side) and Mormon (dad's side). I have been Orthodox since shortly
after leaving home. It is completely my choice. Christians choose
God. It is an invitation. Muslims "submit". Totally different issue.

Prove that you are the Jesus as described in the Holy Bible. I doubt
anyone know who Jesus is. I also doubt whether Jesus has an universal
passport to prove his identity.

Anyway, don't act, don't lie, don't bluff! :)

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

My bet is you was forced to follow family tradition to become a
Catholic. There was never a free choice. Your parents had a secret deal
with their Church to make their children Catholics. If you didn't do so,
you would have been purged out of your family house, and would have had
no money spend.

Well, it's just my silly little conspiracy theory about why you are now
a Catholic. The same possibly applies to Mr. Rick C. Hodgin.

Meow... :)

Your a funny bunny!

I am not Catholic by the way. They are fine folks, but I am just
not one of them anymore. Rick's heart is in the right place,
he just need to work on his venue and presentation.

Funny bunnies don't "Meow".

Do you mean to ask me if I an "the" Jesus of the Bible?
Obviously, I am not. Is English your first language?

This sub-thread is not related to you Mr. T, unless you are also Richard

Thanks. I don't remember such a story as well from newspaper columns I
read. BTW...

Needah -> Niddah
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niddah

Niddah (or nidah; Hebrew: נִדָּה), in Judaism, describes a woman during
menstruation, or a woman who has menstruated and not yet completed the
associated requirement of immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath).

Ha ha ha.... :)
