good luck with your own interpretations but I will stick with the Catholic interpretation of biblical scriptures.

That is your free will at work.

If; at some later time; more is revealed to you - no mattered the source - you can change what you choose to follow.


Like Delmar said:

"Come on in; boys; the waters fine!"

at least I don't try...but reading this thread, I see a whole lot of people who think they can do it.......they can't!

Yeah...

Some of our Catholics FReepers are like that.

ABSOLUTELY merciful....kept me out of hell for my shortcomings but required me to purge myself of that evil by awaiting a guaranteed presence in Heaven until I had done so.

Golly!

I might have to do that!!!

How did YOU do it?

yeah, but you said it, I merely reiterated what YOU said, I made no accusations, I restated what you said and then pointed out the errors in your thought process....pretty easy

Incidentally, the first time I read the Bible completely through I had it on a computer screen parallel with Strong's Concordance and Matthew Henry's concise commentary. I was about 33 years old, I had left Catholicism at about 21 and had never actually read the Bible. I was very annoyed when I learned how far the Catholic Church strayed from the teachings of Jesus and His apostles.

let's see now...you conducted a private study of the bible and some other related books and came to the conclusion that your interpretation of the bible was correct and that of the 2,000 year old Catholic and hstorical church was wrong.....Pathetic.

Some FR posters quote Scripture; others prefer to quote men.

The difference is notable.

well, there is a commandment to keep holy the sabath, Christ founded a church which established what was expected of thier followers and that the way to keep the sabath holy was to attend Mass....under penalty of sin for not doing so.

Oh???

What CRAZY stuff your CHOSEN religion CHOOSES to IGNORE!!!

...and modify...



 

Romans 14:5-12   Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.

I keep telling you that being a Catholic is not easy.....just worth it.

You guys get a bigger mansion??


 

 

John 14   

Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.

1. I suggest you become more familiar with the scriptures so you can readily associate them with their location in the scroll, so to speak.

if God gave me a direct order, and He did, I wouldn't expect His son to have to remind me of it...I'd already know to keep holy the sabath

Can I assume that Keepin' it Holy includes posting on FR??

Catholic Church also resides in Heaven and in Purgatory.

I guess your church's invented PURGATORY can; it seems; contain human flesh; but the Scriptures are VERY clear that GOD's heaven will NOT!

YMMV


Romans 14:9

For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

You are a champ at it! FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information.


I'll keep that in mind the next time I observe a protestant's contribution to dialogue consisting of only parroting what a Catholic says rather that refute what is being said. Too clever by half.


Ha ha!

You just can't make this stuff up!

And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose (Matthew 27:52).
