what did saint philomena believe in ?

you can find out all about her here: http://www.philomena.org/\n\nHere's a little excerpt:\n\nThe very name of Philomena contains the words: filia luminis, daughter of light. She is the enlightener of a dark and corrupt age confounding the sneers of materialism. She is the Patroness of the Children of Mary. Her mission today is to draw us to the Immaculate Heart of Mary through imitation of her heroic virtues of purity, obedience and humility. Saint Philomena is an anchor of HOPE in this dark age of despair.\n\nThe rude latter days are here. They are clearly and universally marked by occultism, modernism, materialism, spiritism, despair and a general falling away from the Faith. Never have the powers of darkness been so strong, since the beginning of Christianity, as they are today. Saint Philomena is the New Light of the Church Militant! This title was bestowed upon her by St. Jean Marie Vianney, heroic confessor and patron of all parish priests.\n\nLittle, indeed, is known historically of Saint Philomena. Her real history commences when her blessed remains were found after having rested in the obscurity of the Catacombs of St. Priscilla for some seventeen hundred years. But God is wonderful in His saints, and Saint Philomena strikingly exemplifies this oft-repeated truth. After allowing her name and memory to be buried with her earthly remains for centuries, He suddenly brought the attention of mankind to this little maiden-martyr, and now works astounding prodigies in her name, as if wishing to show that He wills in this way to recompense the long time He allowed her to remain in obscurity.

She may well be a Gnostic and you may, because you follow her and believe as she does, be one as well. But do NOT call her Christian! Gnosticism is a heresy, pronounced such 1700 years ago. That has not changed. It is a system of beliefs based on an inability to accept that there ARE more things in Heaven and on Earth than a human being knows or can know. It seeks to bolster pride at the expense of truth.\n\nBut you go her way, if you've a mind to. Eventually, you'll learn. Hope it won't be too late. Good luck.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty \nMaker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. \nWe believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, \nthe only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, \nGod from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, \nbegotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. \nThrough him all things were made. \nFor us men & and for our salvation he came down from heaven:  by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. \nOn the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures.  He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.  He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, And his kingdom will have no end.  We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.  With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.  He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I am a Christian, specifically Catholic.\n\nI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.\n\nI believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.\n\nI believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

My name in Kim, and I am an unemployed part-time community college student. I am Wiccan, in case you'd like to know that, too. If you would like any further detail on anything, please feel free to contact me via my bio page.\n\n1. I worship a Father God and a Mother Goddess, but all deities of all religions exist.\n2. Nature is both spiritual and reality, and at the moment is stable, but if an imbalance were to occur, however, it could become chaotic.\n3. Humanity is biology in the physical sense, but the spirit, or soul, is what actually "lives."\n4. Whatever you believe comes after death is what will come after death for you. If Mary believes that she will go to Heaven when she dies, she will go to Heaven when she dies; if Joe believes in reincarnation, he will be reincarnated; if Lucy does not believe in an afterlife, than her body will decompose and she will cease to exist. Ghosts are the souls of people who have died and were/are unsure of what happens after death, and ghosts they will remain until they figure it out. Someone may also become a ghost if he/she dies before his/her ultimate goal (predetermined by fate) is completed, and a ghost he/she will remain until it is completed. Someone might also become a ghost if someone they leave behind is unable to let go, and ultimately holds him/her back from moving on to the afterlife. Personally, I believe I will be reincarnated, and have been before.\n5. Sometimes we THINK we know things that we really don't. Anything supernatural, including religion, cannot be proved nor disproved. No one can really KNOW whether any deity exists or not, or what happens to someone after they die, or how we all got here in the first place, etc. All that is determined by one’s faith.\n6. We decide for ourselves what is right and wrong; many take guidance from law or religion to help them decide; some are incapable of deciding for themselves and live directly under someone else's idea of morals.\n7. Everyone has a predetermined ultimate goal. Everyone is here to learn, and we do not have a set path, but set milestones. There are certain lessons that need to be learned, and certain goals that need to be fulfilled, which are different for every person. HOW we learn them or fulfill them is not set for us, because we create our own paths.\n\nI hope this helps you. :)

Beliefs (religion) are philosophies.  Philosophies are made into religions.

What do you mean by believe? I believe she lived, and I believe she was the mother of Jesus, and I believe that she was a virgin until Jesus was born. I think you might mean Catholic practice of praying to Mary and so on. That I do not believe - not at all, as the Bible says nothing about praying to Mary. I don't pray to anyone but God the Father, but I do so in the name of Jesus - as the Bible says.\n\n\nThe Bible further states that Jesus had siblings, and says that Mary did not know her husband UNTIL Jesus was born (this last is found in Matthew, and the siblings part is in Mark 3:31). These half siblings would have been direct descendents of Mary, not of Jesus. There is nothing wrong with there being descendents related to Jesus... I think people think that if others were related to him, it would mean they were born with part of the Holy Spirit, since Jesus was conceived of the Spirit - but that's not true. The siblings were born of two humans and were all human. The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with their conceptions.

Well, they both have some link to christianity. Stigmata is the belief of Jesus' reincarnated punishments onto others. This is strongly linked to the christian belief, and i am sure that many priests have eaten oranges including the pope.

Hmm, interesting question! I didn't see her listed here: \n\nhttp://www.celebatheists.com/index.php?title=Main_Page\n\nnor here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atheists#Entertainment_2.\n\nI haven't heard anything about her having ever said what her beliefs or non-beliefs are. I wonder if she has?

Not Necessarily. People tend to synthesize that conclusion because of the closeness of Jesus to Mary of Magdala. They were close mainly because it was Jesus that saved her from death by stoning, and that she was the only privileged female to be with Jesus and the disciples during the former's  public ministry. According to the Council of Nicea, Jesus had a dual nature: both Human and Divine. The followers of Macedonius, called the Macedonians, opposed this and said that Jesus was purely of Human nature.The Council treated the Macedonians as heretics because of this and defended the doctrine of the Dual Nature. Some may say that because there is this Human Nature present in Jesus, there may be a possibility that He succumbed to  this nature and had an affair with Mary of Magdala, but honestly, only God Knows.

OMG! I did see that and it just enforces my current belief that God wants spiritual fruits not religious nuts. Guess which one she is?

As far as I know, Catholicism teaches that if you believe in their religion that you are suppose to believe and follow everything within the religion regardless of your personal beliefs.   They say you cannot "pick and choose" what you like because they believe you will choose what is only convenient for you.\n\n  However, I believe that the interpretation of morality is up to the individual and not a religion.  I believe that we should not underestimate people's ability to know right from wrong simply because they are not religious.  Many religious people are not spiritual anyways.  \n  Read up on the Catholic church or ask your local priest.  You may want to ask him as a general question rather than tell them that you are in the organization.  I believe I accurately stated the church's position, but it is best to double check.

Here's the only one I can remember without having the book in front of me...\n\n“It is music with her silver sound because musicians have not gold for sounding.” \n\nOh, and I think there is one involving the Friar who values his morals more than gold or money or something like that.

Three Fwd Wishes: Grace => Mercy => Peace(Rest).\n\nPst - the D-evils "believe" there is one God, yet perhaps what they believe is their law is God.\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen. \n\nSource(s):\n\nHoly Bible is not Holy Holy in the end is already written.

I personally believe in the devine feminine, until the last 2000 years mankind as a whole believed in her also.
