I'm a Catholic...a true Christian...

Then you are QUITE aware of our Savior's answer to a certain question:

 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

---

1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

I'm sure glad that THIS teaching hasn't been changed!

[Elsie]

Good. Because you are one of the sane ones on here.

It takes a keen mind to notice this subtlety.

[Elsie]

Again, you avoid answering the question. You have a habit of doing that because you know little of the Torah and Hashem’s word.

No; because your 'question' prompted me to MINDREAD what an entire group of people were thinking:

Answer my question: why don’t Jews care about what Mormons or any person of any faith thinks about them?

[Elsie]

Doesn’t bother me a bit. You should ask yourself why.

Now I'm supposed to understand YOUR thoughts on the matter???

[Elsie]

I think it so funny that you would think a Jew would get upset about another religion’s practices.

I "think" this?

Honey; I KNOW this!!

Stop making the thread about yourself, Church Lady.

For once; I am speechless!

[Elsie]

BEWARE!!!

"Does the soup come before the salad? Or the other way around?
The answer, of course, is John 3:16.

[greyfoxx39]

and while I'd managed to successfully eschew coffee, I became reliant on 5-Hour Energy capsules, an only slightly-less-sinful substitute.
(AND...he says this straight-faced!)

Is that a hoot? Or is that a hoot! LOL!

What is a hoot is that drinking coffee or tea is sin enough to keep you away from salvation!! You can't enter a mormon temple to take part in the rituals necessary for salvation if you commit the sins of (1)NOT paying 10% tithe, and (2)partaking of coffee or tea.

Ridiculous!

[BlueDragon]

...But what of that Buddhist? You seem to have forgotten him, and he was the one whom you brought here in the first place.

is it the serenity, reached by the lack of desire achieved by emptying the self of desire --- that makes him a good hitter?

Please feel free to answer that question in using yes, no, maybe, or I don't know as form of answer.

[1rudeboy]

John 3:16

[BlueDragon]

But my last question here to you was not concerning salvation (or more precisely, whether or not you would be damned for having a Buddhist on your team) but of a hitter's ability.

Besides, you were given verses 16,17, & 18, as has been pointed out to you.

For one whom boasts of mathematical skill (and sees the question of damnation or not concerning his having a Buddhist on his team, being answerable by way of mathematical equation) you sure do appear to have continuing difficulty counting to "three".

Perhaps the singular verse John 3:16 is for you after all! And that my fine-feathered FRiend, truly is special.

[1rudeboy]

42 U.S.C. § 666(c)(2)(C) (2006 & Supp. 2010).

No, what is special is that you think I'm taking any of the latter portion of our conversation in a serious fashion.

[BlueDragon]

Aw, you poor, poor devil. Had some stiffys did you, then put that last one where it seemed to belong, and the player got played.

[1rudeboy]

You don't think I'm engaged in child support right now? I figured fer sure you must be at least over 18!

In any case, the idea that you bothered to look it up is funny. You are funny.

[BlueDragon]

You don't think I'm engaged in child support right now?

What's with the right now addition? Truly your own assumption, but a habit pattern evident in your replies. Some added twist of your own manufacture, attributed to the other.

Yet with each post to me, the truth of certain matters, and the real you, keeps coming out more and more.

Do you not know that in the kingdom of heaven, we shall know, even as we are known? one can begin in this life entry into that kingdom, converting into becoming a citizen of it (albeit bearing that of an immigrant/adopted status).

1 Corinthians 13:
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done..." is not meant strictly for some future time. Foreshadowing can be seen today (but as through a dark glass) yet having a peek, some turn away even then, falling back away much to the way they were before.

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

[Elsie]

[BlueDragon]

It’s beginning to add up, isn’t it? (like it wasn’t painfully obvious from the get-go, ha!)

[1rudeboy]

Oh, my. Someone might disapprove of me. Like Church Lady and the preacher. Am I damned?

Oh, wait. John 3:16.

[Elsie]

Am I damned?
