Ah, thanks. I should have checked. My memory went astray, although I think I have a pretty good sense of the character and misdeeds of Wuerl the Girl.

1 Cor 11:28
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

For a man who alleges that he doesn’t know my heart, these words betray you “That is salvation sir not condemnation your words are rcc for sure and a abomination to God. Receiving Christ is to be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit of God.”

So the “rcc” is having an inside baseball discussion regarding the Eucharist but you decided to use this opportunity to for an apologetic drive by shooting? You honestly believe your winning hearts and minds with such stuff? Crazy

Please re-read my post you have added words and feelings that I didn’t write. This is exactly what you and your church do to Holy Scripture. I did indeed condemn your words thus your church’s teaching on the subject, but I said not one thing in reference to your soul.

Drive by shooting implies that I didn’t hang around for return fire. I beg your pardon I’m still standing right here...

It wasn’t posted as a caucus thread so it wasn’t “inside” it was outside and in a public forum. Talk to the poster if you don’t like his posting rules.

“You honestly believe your winning hearts and minds with such stuff?”

My job as a disciple of Christ is to present the truth per Holy Scripture. I don’t win hearts or minds that is the job of the Holy Spirit, 2 Timothy 1:9 and Ephesians 1:13.

Jesus called a sin a sin and a lie a lie and so shall I, something your church is horribly failing at right now.

Reminds me of the old Irish joke. Irishman sees two guys fighting and comes up and says....is this a private fight or can anyone join in?

I used your post to show my children that they will be attacked for their faith, even when if they’re just talking among themselves, if you will. I contrast your mode of attack, on a largely secular board like this, versus the folks I used to engage with on the CARM message board.

People will pretend to speak for the Lord, alleging that their faith is...how did put it....an abomination to God!

“Notice examine himself not you examine him.”

Sorta like you’re examining me now?

“He didn’t try to prevent anyone from bringing judgement upon themselves he taught them the truth by the Scripture. They made their choice and determined their eternal status.”

This is your opinion Sir and you are certainly entitled to that. By warning people about judgment it just seems reasonable to me that Paul is trying to “prevent” judgment?

“You mean receiving the bread and wine which is done in remembrance of His death and the fulfillment of the Eternal Covenant of God from Genesis.”

No, not really, something beyond a mere “remembrance.” A simple “remembrance” doesn’t give justice to the importance of the Eucharist. Failing to worthily take the Eucharist brings judgment to the soul.

As I said in my original post, I believe what you’re doing is a waste of time, especially in my case. As an Irish Catholic, I have had some not too distant relatives who were willing fight and in one case die for the “rcc” as you put it. Growing up in my house we were regaled with stories of the “soup takers” (Google it) or fish thrown at the Notre Dame football team in Atlanta. I could go on and on with this stuff.

Like you, I used to seek out apologetic fights. I wanted to go into Protestant strong holds and debate everyone. I don’t do it anymore. One day I sought out a Baptist Minister from Houston. A guy I always enjoyed debating because he was bright, articulate and devoid of belligerence. He hadn’t posted in a while and I sought him out to see what was going on? He told me something I will never forget and learned from it to this day. He said that he didn’t want to post on any apologetic boards anymore because he learned that it is easier to fight for your faith than it is to live by it. Wow. That floored me. He told me that from now on, he was going to try and live his faith. From that day on, I never went back to those apologetic boards either. Thanked him and we each agreed to pray for each other so that we can live the faith and be real martyrs if necessary.

Makes sense that a rc Irishman would want to join in instead of calling the cops or possibly stopping it as a bible believer has and obligation to do.

Reminds me of this story...

Luke 10:31-33 King James Version (KJV)
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

You are right you are entitled to your opinion, but as long as you are on a public forum I have and will introduce scripture based reasoning to your ccc based heresies.

Funny how the homo, progressive, and rcc agendas are so parallel to each other being that if any one of you are corrected with truth then you automatically consider it and attack on your faith/agenda.

“He said that he didn’t want to post on any apologetic boards anymore because he learned that it is easier to fight for your faith than it is to live by it.”

Sorry, but that’s a no brainer if it took him that long to figure that out I wonder about his actual reasoning ability to begin with.

Romans 3:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

I’ll be the first to admit I can’t live by my own merits, but hey that is the exact reason for a Savior named Jesus of Nazareth. As the verses say above none of us can live by our own abilities it’s all by the grace of God. All I can do is post scripture and let the Holy Spirit do it’s work.

“As I said in my original post, I believe what you’re doing is a waste of time, especially in my case.”

Can you rcc’s quit thinking of yourself for two seconds? You know there are more people than “you” reading these forums right? I acknowledge it probably won’t affect you, but then again all things are possible with God. As I said before IAW scripture the end is not my responsibility only to present the scripture.

“I have had some not too distant relatives who were willing fight and in one case die for the “rcc” as you put it.”

Muslims die every day for their belief all that means is Satan has perpetrated a strong delusion.

If you want to privatize your conversations email might be and option better suited for you, but I will always stand on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and you will not silence me today or tomorrow.
