Cute lemmings, but beside the point.

You really don't understand the strategic issue here. If your brothers and sisters in the Catholic Church are defeated, your denomination will fall and will not even be noticed in the general wreckage.

" . . . and if you cut them down – and you're just the man to do it – do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?"

Two small points in the general misinformation:

If you really think all the saints are just dead people, then when Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ at the Transfiguration, they were just dead people?

And you cannot be blasphemed against - you are not God (whatever you may think.)

I understand everything that is at stake. I'm not the one preaching church, church, church...

Ephesians 6: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

... and you're just the man to do it – do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?"

Ephesians 6: 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

blasphemy
early 13c., from O.Fr. blasfemie "blasphemy," from L.L. blasphemia, from Gk. blasphemia "a speaking ill, impious speech, slander," from blasphemein "to speak evil of." Second element is pheme "utterance" (see fame); first element uncertain, perhaps related to blaptikos "hurtful,"

They're dead, Jim. You can't show Scripture that refutes that statement, just "traditions of men"! For reference, please read my previous posts on this thread.

Sorry, but you are not a winner this time. Try again later.

They have swallowed Luther’s scheme of salvation but are not even aware that they are accepting this theory because they do not call themselves Lutheran and/or reject his form of religiosity..
