The news has been hurtling around the world tonight on Twitter:Welcome home, Kirsten.
And RCs censure "prosperity preachers" with their versions of holy handkerchiefs."
Not gonna get into it with you.
I am happy you have your religion. It is a personal relation with your creator. I respect that.
My point is that for the past million years or so, people have been pointing to the skies and coming up with thousands of answers. In the scope of history, a 2,000 year run is minuscule. And the folks back then were just as convinced they were right.
I was raised to believe that YOU are correct.
But that was not my point.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
I am led the Holy Spirit of God. You don’t know me...Jesus does. I will continue to speak the truth of God’s holy Word no matter what you or anyone else says.
If you don’t agree, that’s up to you. Stop sending messages.
Prove it by works. Boasting signifies nothing but boasting.
I will continue to speak the truth of God’s holy Word no matter what you or anyone else says.
Rather, it seems to me, you will continue to write whatever you choose and attribute it to God. I've seen this movie before.
If you don’t agree, that’s up to you. Stop sending messages.
I never sent any messages. These are called comments. If comments trouble you, consider retiring from these threads.
I love those Berean Jews. I consider myself a Berean Catholic.
Matthew 5:11:
“Blessed is me, when men shall revile me, and persecute me, and shall say all manner of evil against me falsely, for My sake.”
Thank You, Jesus!
This is a common problem with people who have not the advantage of Apostolic Tradition --- you know, that particular kind of capital-T Tradition which St. Paul so strongly directed us to "maintain" and "stand firm and hold to" and live "in accord" with:
1 Corinthians 11:2
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.
2 Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
Tradition? Yes. The Bible tells me so.
You modified the scripture in your own image, so to speak. As I wrote, I’ve seen this movie before. Perhaps you can issue a correction, if you care about the scriptures. I will share that people on this site are familiar with posers who seek to injure the site after their acting careers are over and the time to betray is right.
Ma'am; I 'claimed' nothing.
And not ONE of them are EVER used in obtaining and/or keeping SALVATION.
And here is the proof:
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1 I>This is what Catholics teach and it is error.
And here is the proof:
Ok FR Catholics.
Chime in and state that this is NOT doctrine...
Ok; but at some point the Book claims that ALL will 'get into it' with Christ.
One can choose to believe that or not.
Do you STILL believe it?
;^)
verga claims the same; stating that INTENSIVE study has brought him to Rome.
But; as yet; he's produced no evidence that such is the case.
Matthew 5:11:
“Blessed is me, when men shall revile me, and persecute me, and shall say all manner of evil against me falsely, for My sake.”
Thank You, Jesus - my personal Lord and Saviour! Thank You, Lord, for speaking directly to me in Your Word! I don’t need a pope, priest, pastor, or a natural man (those who don’t truly know You) to tell me that I have a genuine, spiritual relationship with You! I will continue to speak Your Truth - from Your Holy Word - no matter the cost of persecution!
““But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor 2:14)
Sorry; but your Roman 'traditions' are not the traditions found in the bible.
They came along later.
You should go back and read your posts directed at me.
Never once did I ever mention the word “Mormon” but yet you bring it up and claim it came from me.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us,either by word of mouth or by letter.
1 Corinthians 1:31...
“That, according as it is written, He that glorieth (boast), let him glory in the Lord.”
Thank You, Jesus! I WILL boast in You all day long!
