... most protestants truly lack the intellectual depth ...

2 Corinthians 1:13 CEB

We don't write anything to you except what you can read and also understand.

Aw...  shucks...

 

[Elsie]

The hate runs too deep.

But; just WHY do the Catholics hate us?

[Elsie]

Man made teachings at Judgement Day leads to demotion/failure.

Haven't you been paying attention?

It's almost universal - BOTH sides here are of an agreement that CHRISTIANS are NOT going to even BE at 'Judgement Day'!

LOL!!!! That statement was in the article? I only read the title.

Catholics are drawn to deception and then believe the deception - all of their own doing. When they post it to spread it, they are merely pawns of evil - and then it’s too late because they REFUSE to be taught and remain unteachable.

What the catholics can’t seem to understand is that “jesus” was invented by the Greeks, 200 years after Yeshua ascended to sit at his Father’s right hand.

Yeshua and his Father Yehova condemned just about everything that catholics claim as their own.

Theology, an invention of Godless men, is a distraction from Yehova’s inerrant word.

[editor-surveyor]

Those nicolaitans that you pictured have far more in common with catholicism than with Yeshua’s true sheep.

People control is the game, catholicism is the name.

And the vatican has stripped more people of their wealth than Hal Camping could even dream of.

Verga.

I think the hate started a bit before Tammy Faye.

then the purpose would not be to embarrass anyone or even turn from your religion, but to encourage you to look deeper.

While you looked deeper, what part of correction is considered embarrassment to you? And what does 'religion' have to do with JESUS? Do you know what HE taught about 'the religious'? What does HE say about 'taught by human rules' did he say what they do is in vain?

[bkaycee]

People control is the game, catholicism is the name.

YES. You need a "priest" to recieve forgiveness.
You need a "priest" to recieve the transubstantiated "host".
You need a "priest" to conjure up the "grace" that assists you in obtaining your own righteousness, via the sacraments.
You need a "priest" to get married, etc...

>>This "archaeological proof" STILL doesn't state that Peter was starting churches or presiding in Rome.<<

That was that game that Catholics play to obfuscate and avoid the real issue. It’s the RCC teaching of start with a smidgen of truth and build something that suits our needs.

I have been attending Messianic services with other Messianic believers- and seeing a Jewish service, where the Rabbi talks about Jesus.

They go by the calendar- time and events that God goes by. They are our true brothers/sisters/mothers 'in Christ' as we were grafted in. It was a catholic who changed the calendar away from the times/events of God and that lined up perfectly with events such as the Passover. Basically, all the apostles were Messianic as PAUL was - who God used to write over half the NT. What opened his eyes was the Holy Spirit.

Messianics' have the roots of Christianity and teach with a better understanding of the OT which is the shadow of the NT. Praise God for their wonderful teachings and devotion to JESUS alone!

I don't think any Catholics hate the prots, maybe you are projecting. I know that I pity you, but certainly not hate, in spite of having been accused that by several members of this forum

[CynicalBear]

>>Why does it even matter?<<

I think it matters quite a bit jodyel. You see, it’s what Catholics use to draw people away from their focus on Christ and put it on man and his organization.

But I do agree that it would be better to focus on Christ and the true gospel of salvation.

"I pity y...." {slams into cactus tree}

Scene 32, Glenn running from Ed, Raising Arizona.

[Revolting cat!]

All I see here every day is the hate going the other way, but, hey, I play to go along.

[CynicalBear]

Oh I read plenty of Catholic stuff too! Like how they have incorporated pagan practices.

“When we give or receive Christmas gifts; or hang green wreaths in our homes and churches, how many of us know that we are probably observing pagan customs...the god, Woden, in Norse Mythology, descends upon the earth yearly between December 25th and January 6th to bless mankind...But pagan though they be, they are beautiful customs. They help inspire us with the spirit of 'good will to men', even as the sublime service of our Church reminds us of the ‘peace on earth’ which the babe of Bethlehem came to bestow” (Externals of the Catholic Church, 140).

Interesting point. I think this shift at FR has had a direct impact on the amount of traffic and posting at FR. It's hard not to notice that a large number of threads on the news/activism forum are posted by the same posters that dominate the religion forum. As intellectual debate is replaced with the promotion of a skewed perspective why visit the site

Indeed .

But pagan though they be, they are beautiful customs

They admit to paganism but they follow those beautiful customs/traditions anyway. Just another of their choosing death and not life.

even as the sublime service of our Church reminds us of the ‘peace on earth’ which the babe of Bethlehem came to bestow<

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' Matthew 10:34-36

The CC is based on deception as is ALL their 'traditions/teachings'. They move their subjects away from God's Word more and more until they are in complete bondage to them/man which leaves them unteachable and they shall remain in bondage.
