“There is nothing Christlike within that post.”

Sure there is. What I said is not only true, but no less Christian than this:

O stupid Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? ...Are you so stupid? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? -Galatians 3:1,3, NAB

Or this:

“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Matthew 23:33, NIV

“However, since catholics themselves admittedly state that there are varied beliefs within the different branches of catholcism....which even among themselves they do not comprehend nor understand.”

I have never seen such a remark from a Catholic, and any Catholic who made such a remark is not better educated in the faith than any mouth breathing Protestant anti-Catholic. There are no “branches” of Catholicism, for instance.

“.... How then can you say it’s a matter of education in determining what the Bible states when in fact it’s an open book for any to glean from regardless of their education......”

I never said that. You have just invented something out of thin air and attributed it to me. I defy you to post a single comment from me that says: “t’s a matter of education in determining what the Bible states when in fact it’s an open book for any to glean from regardless of their education......” Of course you can’t because I never once said any such thing.

Do you believe someone deliberately misrepresenting what someone else has or has not said is wrong?

....”There are no “branches” of Catholicism”.....

Well there are the various Orthodoxes....then there are the various parishes with their own church titles...named after various Saints and the like....There's Eastern Orthodox, Western, Greek, Russian etc. And no.. I don't need to understand the differences...it's enough that within the churches 'there are differences' and differences in what they believe.....which is my point....and the fact they do not themselves understand the differences and practices.

The discussion was about indulgences back in post 2, your comment following and there abouts indicated that lack of education of some does qualify one to understand what indulgences are about.

The catholic history is ripe with these, as you know...and it doesn't require an “educational” degree to be aware of that.

“Well there are the various Orthodoxes....”

“Orthodoxes”? Is that like “toothes”?

“then there are the various parishes with their own church titles...named after various Saints and the like....There’s Eastern Orthodox, Western, Greek, Russian etc.”

You still have not mentioned any “branches” as you claimed existed. No surprise there.

“And no.. I don’t need to understand the differences...”

Oh, sure, because actually knowing something wouldn’t help, right?

“it’s enough that within the churches ‘there are differences’ and differences in what they believe.....which is my point....and the fact they do not themselves understand the differences and practices.”

And your point is pointless. You can’t even prove what you claimed. You apparently don’t even understand what you’re stumbling badly in discussing.

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the message, not the messenger.

No, I said this: “Arthur, when people only have a government school education they are capable of being misinformed on many topics.”

Thus, you have misrepresented what I said, AGAIN.

“The catholic history is ripe with these,”

“these” what? Ripe with “these” what? You’re not even making sense.

“as you know...”

That qualifies as “mind reading” which is a form of making it personal and against board rules. And you’re not even right. I have no idea what “these” are so how can I “know”?

“and it doesn’t require an “educational” degree to be aware of that.”

Aware of what? You didn’t even post a complete thought. “these”? “these” what?

But of course you didn’t even comment on the “mind reading” in post #44. Once again it is the Catholic who is singled out while nothing is said to the anti-Catholic.

as you know

Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

At the “0:51” mark of “A better video, but from last year:”, you can clearly see Vladimir Putin in attendance in the lower right corner of the frame.

They have more than one ...here's another mans blood they've made into an idol...I think it's one of the pope's. Looks like the dark mid-evil age is still perking

They save hands too

And skeleton bones

and somebody's heart they even kept

And they kiss these things!

Romans 1 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. ...

And then some they parade down the street........When you look at 'educated' men parading a skull on their shoulders, religious perversion has reached pretty much an all time low....this behavior is sooo not even remotely Christian....in fact see this as a death cult.

"

And here we have catholics lighting candles and making a shrine of this skull

Thank you for that reference....

It's hard not to see all this stuff without seeing a death cult...it has all the markings of one...they have bodies and skeleton parts all over the place!.....Their behavior, their words that they speak to these departed people, how they worship them, kiss anything they can make a relic or idol of them, and calling on them for assistance.....the big picture, no matter which angle you look at, points to anything other than Christianity.....in fact the very opposite and right out of the dark ages.

Added to this... is their method of indoctrination and how they bait and twist the truth to suite their agenda....it's far worse than a cult because of their claims on Christianity ..which they cannot do in truth and in the light of what God says clearly in his word.

Somehow they see “beautiful” in what God calls evil before his eyes.....like the Sadducee's and Pharisees...they flaunt their evil before you....and no wonder Jesus called them a brood of vipers...whitewashed hypocrites....and the many Woe's he proclaimed on them thereafter.

All the gold covered utensils and boxes, nor the robes glitz and glitter can hide the evil I have seen while searching and reading, much of what I could not bring here.... It makes perfect sense now why God finally lifted the filthy veil of secrecy regarding Catholicism pedophile rings within it's Priesthood and that of the leaderships approval and compliance.

... It makes perfect sense now why 'fear' seems to have been the "norm" for those who finally found courage to leave Catholicism......It makes sense now why politicians and world leaders continuously "court" catholic leadership, which has nothing whatsoever to do with matters of religion, rather as a partner to what is to come and as that stage is being set..

Catholicism is a dark place for any to be, and the false light it claims in representing Jesus Christ is in fact the opposite...It's a lie.

... Now I can understand why catholics cry out, whine, become enraged when the truth is revealed to them....the stronghold round about them has other plans for their life and it isn't what they're expectations and deluded minds have believed.......

May God truly seek and find those within Catholicism who genuinely desire to know Him as their Savior...not just in word...but in heart mind and soul....and may he bring them out with his mighty hand before it is so late they will not be able to respond. Truly in Jesus name and For His Glory.....
