Gays are clamoring "against vaccination of their faith? This maybe  implied by the declaration of Pope Francis, warning against “administering a vaccine against faith”. But what is this faith? Before answering the issue, let us first examine the meaning of Pope's statements.  Obviously, when the Pope mentioned ‘vaccine against faith”, logically, he is referring to “faith” as a disease because vaccines are only intended to prevent diseases. But when he further warned against ‘administering’ the vaccine, then he logically means that he is warning against the prevention of a disease. Specifically, the statements are as follow: “The pontiff said educational leaders should ask themselves “how can we proclaim Christ to a generation that is changing?” “We must be careful not to administer a vaccine against faith to them,” the 77-year-old added.”( http://ph.news.yahoo.com ) This is related to Roman Catholic Alleged Church way of presumably recent rethinking in deal...

By comparison, Christ called the Father in heaven as "Father" but Roman Catholicism is calling the Father in Vatican City as "Holy Father". The  body of Christ is not being called holy in constrast to the cross, which is being called "holy". When  Christ died, he was resurrected to life by the Father in heaven. But when the cross lost its force against early Christians, who were never afraid to die on the cross, it was resurrected to life by the Holy Father in Vatican City through the Roman Empire. Aside from calling it holy, Roman Catholicism uses "The Name" of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, whenever followers pray, by starting and ending the prayer with a "sign of the cross" and at the same time, uses "The Name" by reciting "In the name of the Father, of the Son, and the Holy Spirit..Amen". This ceremony spiritually put the image of the cross over and above "The name" c...

Did God ever establish a depository for His forgiveness? This question has relation to the statement of Pope Francis that "church is depository of God's forgiveness". Obviously, he was referring to Roman Catholicism when he said "church" to the exclusion of other "isms" such as Judaism, Islamism, etc. . As Pope Francis is invoking "The Name" of God in his statement, let us try discussing it if it is in accordance with the scripture. Firstly, is there any declaration in the scripture that God needs a depository for his forgiveness, which is very personal in nature? To illustrate, if A committed a grievous sin against B, can B delegates to C the act of forgiveness for A's sin. Is it proper? More so, when C is doing things which are antagonistic to B by way of usurping the authority of B?

Sexual immorality is closely related to procreation in human beings. This can be gleaned from the procreation statements that accompany the scriptural passages for reproduction in animals and human beings. But first, let us determine their differences based on the scripture. For animals: 15 God said to Noah, 16 “Go out of the boat with your wife, your sons, and their wives. 17 Take all the birds and animals out with you, so that they may reproduce and spread over all the earth.” 18 So Noah went out of the boat with his wife, his sons, and their wives. 19 All the animals and birds went out of the boat in groups of their own kind. (Genesis 8:15, TEV). Based on the above verses, is there any prohibition/condition pertaining to the act to procreate for animals and birds? None. For human beings:
