It seems to me though that a eunuch would have fewer distractions in the world and be more focused on the kingdom.
Sorry KJ, from the way I read it, calling someone catholic-boy didnt seem that nice, and from what RBH has said in other posts(and this one) he seems to be pretty derogatory to catholics.
I thought that seeing the guy who wrote it lower case seemed pretty christian, he wasnt doing it to be funny.
ON the baptism issue, many of my friends were baptised, some of them aren't religious at all. For them(and for me) baptism is a thing your parents do for you when you are born saying you will be raised in a christian way, when you grow up however we get that thing called free will. You can choose whether to continue along that path or not, it is your choice.

Who you must be one of the few Catholics that have a Personal Relationship with God. Some Catholic friends that I have think they are going to Heaven for being good, and for being Baptisted. If we could get to Heaven for being Baptisted then we could get a fire hose have a preist bless it and spray down the world. I have a cousin who was Baptisted in the Catholic Church when he was a baby, but now he is 18 and an atheist.

Could someone fill me in where it says that to be a true christian you have to go every week to worship?
Originally posted by ivanhoeWhy do you keep saying I should be ashamed of myself? RB is a literalist when it comes to scripture. He should not have to apologize for that. I was simply meeting him where he is and asking for clarification. I was disturbed by some scriptures I have been reading and I wanted his input.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Captain Kirk.
Originally posted by lsurocks1That is way Jesus came because we couldn't keep the Sabbath day Holy. The only why we can please God is to come to Him through Jesus.
I agree again. one of the ten commanments says to go to praise god on sundays. also know as the "sabbath day"
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
See faith is more pleasing to God then Worship. You can be dying in your hospital bed and call out to Jesus to forgive you of your sins and save you from everlasting torment. An example was when the Firefighter called out to Jesus in the first Left Behind movie. Or even the Man next to Jesus on the Cross.
