Sadly, some of them here assume we are going to hell since we are Catholics and won’t even accord us the status of being Christians.

Well, when Rome can sort out CCC 841 and undo its heresy, I'll have more ease in believing what you want me to believe as a Protestant... as of now, 841 says Roman Catholics worship the same "God" as Muslims. If so, then things DO look pretty bleak for RCs.

It would be great for you guys if "faith alone" was actually in the bible. Too bad Luther penciled that in -- or do you prefer to say that he "clarified" God's word?

I need them, ok? And I don’t think any of us are prepared for persecution in the United States of America. We’ve had it too long and too good for too long, unfortunately, and we are now paying the piper. I can only hope that my mother - a Depression baby and a WWII widow - will make it out before the sh**t hits.

Only the poster and friends are saved. Salvation is based upon interpretation of the saved. The poster is Christian, Moslem, and “grafted in” with supreme knowledge of all, per interpretation. A few words of Hebrew do the trick... Total fluency as is the case with we unwashed would be too un-Christian. You will burn as I will. Have a nice day, see you on the dark side!

I’m sorry... You want me to look up someone else’s illustrated comic-book argument about spirituality? Is that how you save souls, with a link? You post a link? You are a Freeper, surely? And... What can I do for you?

And very few real Christians outside of the Catholic and Orthodox Church, too.

If you can read ... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3308891/posts?page=39#39

Note how 'they' were purified and what is not included, like RCC baptism, RCC sacramental re-up stops along the salvation trail, purgatory, worship of a mother goddess to help her son with his priestly duties, confessionals, paid indulgences, priests who class themselves superior to Christ such that they can force Him to bow to their commands ... you, stuff like drapes 'another religion', caatholicism, like Paul cited in Gal 1 teaching 'another gospel

Here's a quote from a book with the 'nihil obstat' of your religion on it. See if there's anything in it that would offend a Christian:

“When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from his throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the victim for the sins of men. It is a power greater that that of monarchs and emperors; it is greater than that of saints and angels, grater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. The priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command.”
Rev John O'Brien, 'Faith of Millions' the catholic guide

I’m a Catholic who recently came back into the fold. I’m of the opinion that your statement has some truth to it. The church moved away from rating movies, working orphanages etc.

You may assume all you want, I don’t assume because I have a human perspective and God did not give me the spirit gift to discern the spirit of others. That gift does exist, but I don’t have it so I just confine my posts to contending for the Gospel as Paul and the other Apostles taught it. BTW, there are only fourteen Apostles even listed, the last two of which were Matthias and Paul. There are none in the RCC hierarchy.

I need them, ok?

And for that I pity you. I truly, truly pity you. You need Christ, and him alone. We're saved by Christ -- not by works... and we need only him.

I need Christ alone. No one, nor anything else. And for salvation, that's what ALL of us need.... Christ. Alone.

But I agree with you about the persecution that is coming. It's scary.

We can check your oil if you want. Just read the quote in post #50 and tell us if you see anything that would be offensive to a Christian born from above.

What makes you think I don’t have Christ? Luckily, I am also surrounded by the saints and Mary and Joseph. Don’t pity me as I do not pity you.

>>>>>>> priests sacrifice Christ over and over again.

Oh, look, the “liars for Jesus” are out again.<<<<<<<<<<


THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS & THE SACRIFICE OF CALVARY

* Christ is the Sacrificial Gift. - * Christ is the Sacrificial Gift.

* Priest represents Christ on the cross. - * Christ is the Priest and Victim Altar. on the Cross.

* Glorifies GOD Our Father. - * Glorifies God the Father.

* “Do this in memory of Me” - * Jesus offers Himself to His (that His Body would be given), Father - clearly a Sacrifice.

* Priest is Christ during the consecration - *Christ is Priest in offering Consecration at the Altar - and Himself, and is also Victim who is also Victim in the on the Cross. Eucharist.

The Sacrifice of the Mass is identical with the Sacrifice of the Cross, for there is the same Priest, the same Victim, the same Offering.

http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/general/Sacrific.htm

. The Council of Trent infallibly decreed at Session 22: “If anyone says that in the Mass a true and proper sacrifice is not offered to God or that that which is to be offered is nothing else but what Christ has given us to eat let him be accursed” – Canon 1.

“If anyone says that the sacrifice of the Mass is merely a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving or that it is a bare remembrance of the sacrifice completed on the cross but is not a propitiatory sacrifice or that it profits only him who receives and that it ought not to be offered on behalf of the living and the dead for sins, sufferings and satisfactions and other necessities let him be accursed” – Canon 3.

At Mass we are able to stand mystically at the foot of the cross and witness for ourselves the same self-sacrifice of Jesus, in an unbloody manner.
