Me doth think you protest to much! To paraphrase Shakespeare. BTW he was an English playwright and that was from Hamlet, one of his more famous works written in 1602.

This issue is resolved.

I would hope that Judas would have somehow made it; but the FACTS are that we just do not know from Scripture his spiritual condition at death.

We DO know that Jesus said if your eye or hand causses you to sin; cut it off.

What if your whole body causes you to sin?

[CynicalBear]

>>You do not have Christ at any time because you reject his priests.<<

In the New Testament ekklesia of Christ there is only one High Priest who is Jesus Christ the royal priesthood of all born again believers.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

There is no other office of priesthood within the New Testament ekklesia.

[CynicalBear]

It was most definitely called for.

[Elsie]

Jesus said he would have been better off if he’d never been born

Job Chapter Three

>>It's extremely difficult to assume good intentions with such remarks spewed that way.<<

I also call a spade a spade.

[CynicalBear]

>>Best tone it down, bub.<<

Like Jesus did with the Pharisees?

[CynicalBear]

Hey! It’s the anti Christ who will set himself up as God in the temple.

[CynicalBear]

I guess I should at least scan by pings before I respond ey?

[CynicalBear]

>>Me doth think you protest to much!<<

I'm sure you do.

Even Mormons?

Ah... that's a tricky one. That (along with everything else) is up to God. I'll tell them I believe they are wrong, just as I'll tell you I believe you are wrong; but I'm not their judge... I'm not even on the jury.

I believe the Catholic Church is the ordinary vehicle of Salvation because I believe Our Lord ordained it so. I am fearful for all outside of her but not totally without hope. If one is truly attached to Christ then in some way there must be an attachment to His Church, even if it's unknown.

If you do not want the heat, do not bring things into a kitchen.

I think more accurately here at FRRF, it is "get off the tracks 'cause a freight train is a comin." :)

[yldstrk]

Now you are calling Catholics Pharisees and saying you are Jesus. Uh huh.

[CynicalBear]

Don’t Catholics think we should be more like Jesus?

[Grateful2God]

"I also call a spade a spade."

Maybe it would be better to do that to a Muslim extremist. They need conversion badly. I'm sure they'd love to wade through all that fodder we Catholics get thrown at us.

[Grateful2God]

"Don’t Catholics think we should be more like Jesus?"

Quite different from thinking we ARE Him.

[CynicalBear]

>>Quite different from thinking we ARE Him.<<

Here's my original comment.

"Like Jesus did with the Pharisees".

Notice the like in there?

[CynicalBear]

>>Maybe it would be better to do that to a Muslim extremist.<<

Do they post here? Let me know if you see one and I'll do just that.
