You're welcome to try the debate forum, but I suggest you enter with humility or it may be handed to you. Welcome to Phatmass, where there are always knowledgeable Catholics around willing to answer questions and debate with the finest.

[right][snapback]909158[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Once you say that you have humility, you can be certain that you do not. Humility is a very funny thing that way. Don't dwell on whether you are humble...that's a snare of the devil...instead, ask [b]how[/b] you can convert yourself more and more to God.

[right][snapback]909174[/snapback][/right] [/quote] You can be humble and know that you are humble and even acknowledge it, in theory, yes. However, we are fallen creatures and our motives are rarely, if ever, completely pure. To call yourself "humble enough" implies that there is a standard level of humility which you surpass...there is none. Humility is a continual-growth virtue...you can never have enough. Just like you can never have enough love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, may God continue to grant you humility. Let the games begin. I suggest you pick a few possible topics in your thread in the DT (Debate Table, its our shorthand, you'll pick it up).
