東正教，天主教，基督教有哪些不同?
這些問題，都不能三言兩語能盡說，當中涉及很多歷史，文化，政治和神學的背景，真是要瞭解，怕且讀幾個博士學位都不夠。以下是一些簡單粗略的分別。

我是一位新教友，一向對於教友間的神視或經歷等都抱以不防一聽的態度，但從未認真看待!不過最近我自己卻接收到一個訊息，大意是「天主不會讓任何人破壞祂的神聖教會」。我現在不知應否告訢本堂的神父，因為我自己也不知道應怎樣辦，怕別人以為我是嘩眾取寵。如果沉默不告訴其他人這訊息，天主會不喜歡嗎?
「天主不會讓任何人破壞祂的神聖教會」，其實並不是新啟示，耶穌在瑪竇福音已說過：「我再給你說：你是伯多祿（磐石），在這磐石上，我要建立我的教會，陰間的門決不能戰勝她。」(16:18)

沒錯，聖經裏至少有兩個法利塞黨人是好人：尼苛德摩和保祿。宗徒大事錄裏也的確有記載，不少早期加入耶路撒冷教會的都是法利塞人，雖然後來他們也做成不少麻煩。

如果我沒想錯，你為天主守貞是私人決定，並沒有在主教前公開發願，所以教會並沒有程序管轄，而私人誓願也沒有不能收回的約束性。

First of all, both angels and humans have been given free will. Angels however are very different from us. They are pure spirits, without a corporeal body and so does not experience physical change. And with no physical change they are not bound by a continuous timeline as we do.
Read More →請問天主的道理是奥妙的，但是不是複雜的？
天主本身就是奧妙的，因為祂是創造者，比我們和任何受造物都大，完全超越我們能力可掌握的。
Read More →天主教所說的[早期教會] 是指那段時期呢?是指天主教在公元後3世紀被君士坦丁立為國教之前的一段時間嗎？
教會歷史中所說的「早期教會」，通常以七個早期教會大公會議的結束為定，而最後一個是在787年。

耶穌在若望福音13-16章中說得最清楚：你們要彼此相愛，就如我愛了你們一樣。所有法律，所有誡條，我們只須日復一日地仿效耶穌的愛，自自然然就會完全滿全。
Read More →I am very disturbed by reports (such as “The Vortex – Keeping Balanced” on Youtube) from Church Militant and various other traditional Catholic groups, in particular, the church being infiltrated by faithless and filthy clergy and trying to cover up. I am wondering if I have been taught the right things and who I should believe.
The history of the church is filled with many great saints and great sinners. The reality is that both clergy and laity are sinners, called to be holy but are free to respond. Those who were called to greater responsibilities, were pivotal to manifesting greater glory for God or greater evil to scandalize.
