AMEN!!
“They would do well to check out a Bible believing Sunday School class.”

Or simply pay attention to the dogma and catechism of their OWN faith, which also is “bible believing”.
Blasphemous...
Fair enough — but this is pretty basic stuff. We’re not talking about complicated theology, or minutiae, or debated denominational differences here.
I’d venture that most Protestants on this forum that claim Christianity could accurately answer this question. Everybody’s wrong about something. You. Me. Everybody. So long as you’re right on the big picture, and improving on the details ... you’re probably OK. Perfect theology is not a requirement of the Christian faith (Hallelujah). But, we’re talking about a major, deal-breaking imperfection ... one of the true essentials of Christianity.

My thoughts exactly!! Too many are getting their theological views from Hollywood and Bestselling novels rather than reading the bestseller of all time!
I don’t disagree but I would venture to guess they are democrats first and Catholics second.
This acquaintance of yours lost his faith after watching The Davinci Code, of which the premise of the movie was based upon the painting, “The Last Supper”, painted by an artist long after Christ’s birth, death, and resurection? Yeah, I guess maybe you’re right. His faith may not have been rock solid to begin with.
Nope. Jesus Christ never sinned otherwise the Crucifixion and Resurrection would mean nothing
And over half of NJ Catholics regularly go to tanning salons.
I think I found a link.
I’m a Jersey Catholic.
How does God sin?
How does any Christian believe that?
Jesus was tempted, but it’s not a sin to be tempted. Most of us probably dwell too long on some sinful desires even if we don’t yield in the flesh so I can see how people think there’s a sort of continuum.
I’d be interested in seeing if these Catholics who believe Jesus sinned believe Mary to be sinless.
They need to follow the advice of St. Augustine concerning the Bible: pick up and read.
six of one, half a dozen of the other.
These people are CINO’s. There is nothing religious about them.
Yes. It's not so strange that people believe this. There's a lot of uncertainty about whether being tempted counts as a sin in itself or one has to act on the temptation.
I would bet these that believe He sinned are almost all Chreaster Christians (at church Christmas and Easter only).
Christ could not have sinned and then been accepted by the Father as an acceptable substitute for sinners on the cross. The Old Testament makes it exceedingly clear that the sacrifice had to be perfect to be accepted. From eternity past Christ agreed to drink the wrath that should have been poured out on me for eternity. He drank the cup of God’s wrath for all of His sheep down to the very dregs.
What a Savior!
I wonder what percent of Catholics think Mary sinned....
Betchca it’s less than 50 %
