Which extra-canonical books are the eight which you say are excluded from the Catholic Canon? Are Maccabees 3 and 4 two of them? Respectful question asking that you share your knowledge. God bless you and yours!
He commanded you to love your neighbors and to love your enemies. You are just causing fights and you know it. You are doing what you want to do, not what God wants you to do.
It is sad that you will continue to do so. God bless you and forgive you.
Is that your own personal interpretation of Scripture?
How do you know it’s right?
Aren’t you judging the motives and intents of RnMom’s heart,which you cannot mind read?
How do you know you’re not making Jesus sad by judging and condemning her?
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
>>So not a single Catholic in the world has been anointed with the Holy Spirit?<<
Where did you get that nonsense. Of course there are but they don't stay long in that organization.
>>So, are all Protestants so anointed and therefore know the true meaning of Scripture, or only the Episcopalians?<<
Now what does denomination have to do with it? What an odd viewpoint.
>>Just how tiny is your group of Holy Spirit anointed Christians who alone know the Truth while all of the rest of us are lost in ignorance?<<
Interesting that you put yourself in with those who have not been indwelt by the Holy Spirit. I've met Spirit filled Christians who worship in many different groups. God isn't limited by some man made denomination or sect. Stop trying to confine Him to a box.
Please list some of the different ways Protestants differ on how to be saved.
Who is ignoring John 20? It's just that we read the rest of scripture also.
Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Can you not answer the question?
Maybe because He knew Peter was a movable stone and would deny Him three times and wimp out when eating with Jews. Jesus even said "get behind me Satan" to Peter because Peter was being wishy washy.
Why are you so obsessed with Luther? I don't see Luther taught here ever. It's what the apostles taught the counts.
I think we first need to define love
ROFL!! How many indulgences do they require today?
Probably not based on Catholic precedent.
But I didn’t expect anything else than to have what I say or ask twisted and taken off topic in te form of accusing me of something totally irrelevant.
I still would like an answer to the question from the Catholic perspective.
Come to think of it, you are probably closer to the truth. Anyway, it was started before that "other" church, which will remain un named, but the guilty parties know who they are. 😀😃😄😎😆😱😇🙊🙈🙉
Why do you find that so strange? Mormons don't believe in the Jesus of scripture. They don't even believe in the Trinity. They surely can't be asking the Holy Spirit who is part of the triune God of scripture.
Good post!
Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
We are just wondering when they are going to do it..they have had 2,000 years
Well then, it looks like different denominations exist, because all these people have unanswered questions, and that if they just got their unanswered questions answered, they would just join the "true" church. The true church, we all know, is the Navigator's church. 😀😃😄😱😆😇😎😅😹
Keep up the good work 👍👌

Being as I am a former catholic myself, I will add my two cents. True Christians DO NOT differ on the only doctrine that matters, the plan of salvation. There is no way on God's green earth they can differ on that. NO WAY. Differences may come, when they discuss things like pre trib, post trib, soul sleep, and other less important issues, but when it come to Heaven/Hell, there is not even the tiniest margin for error, not even a little bit.
I think that the bashing should stop all around and I take the responsibility to admonish fellow Catholics. I do believe that threads such as this may well cause Jesus to weep. He died for our sins, suffering intensely, and yet so many who sincerely follow Him, regardless of denomination, trade bitter words with each other over doctrinal disputes. In the days of the early persecuted Church, pagans observed that you will know the Christians as those who love one another. We need to get back to that if, as I suspect, an age of persecution may soon begin. May God bless you and [protect you in such times to come, my sister in Christ Jesus.
