Theologian: Shared Communion With Protestants Would be Blasphemy and Sacrilege

boatbums: In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul...FYI...R&B, Free Republic Religion Forum threads are NOT “church”...in case you didn’t realize that.

R&B: That is why the words “In keeping with the spirit of this letter” were used rather than “according to this letter”.

boatbums: Why, Elsie, I think you were just accused of being a “woman”! Bet your wife will be surprised.

R&B: Elsie, I think boatmums identifies you as a man. Is he accurate? He also infers that being a woman is a bad thing, for he uses the word “accused” instead of the word “supposed” in that comment.

...extra-biblical dogmas...

Considering that...

All the Words of Mary...
...as recorded in the Bible.

---

 

 ...To the angel
“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 
Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.”   (Luke 1:30-38)

 

...To Elizabeth
And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.” (Luke 1:46-55)

 

 ...To Jesus
His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”  (Luke 2:48-50)

 

... at Cana
And when the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it” (John 2:3-5).

 

 

[Elsie]

We believe IN Him.

vs

We believe ABOUT Him.

[Elsie]

Perhaps there is no guarantee that there will be ANY faithful left when He comes back.

Dang!

Not even CATHOLICS?

[Elsie]

I don’t?

MILLIONS do.

“I’d like to hear how rejecting the current duly elected Pope of Rome, Pope Francis, isn’t also “protesting”!”

There is already a term for that in history. It is called “The Counter-Reformation”

Nope...that doesn’t answer my question about why you and those who think as you do about the current Pope and his predecessors aren’t protesting and are “Protestants”.

____________________________

The “Second Vatican Council” was essentially a protest and rebellion against the church. In it for example six heretic protestants were invited by Rome as advisers. Traditional (true) Catholics on the other hand are not joining the protest.

The Counter-Reformation is actually a misnomer because is was begun prior to Luther’s rebellion.

[Elsie]

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul I will not ask for Elsie’s reply.

And in keeping with the WORDS of St. Paul...

2 Timothy 3:16-17

16. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17. so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

[Elsie]

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul...

To bad Rome no longer adheres to the 'spirit' of the letter that the ECFs wrote in Acts 15.

[Elsie]

[34] Let women keep silence in the churches:

But; if you are without sin; you may return to earth over and over again; speaking a vast number of topics and promising many things that your son failed to get recorded by the Apostles.

[Elsie]

...failed to get recorded by the Apostles.

For those keeping score; this is Elsie 1:4

[Elsie]

Why, Elsie, I think you were just accused of being a "woman"!

FR is now considered to be CHURCH?

Oh; wait!

I forgot the spirit of who just penned that reply.

[Elsie]

Here is a good passage that applies to her and others who would be like her:

HMMMmmm...

The 4 times her words were recorded; she was NEVER in church.

[Elsie]

We can tell when someone is trying to manipulate us into submission with Scripture.

Well; boiling oil is SO medieval!

[Elsie]

I can't speak for other Catholics, but I worshipped Mary, when I was a Catholic. 😆

Why?

Did you BELIEVE the 'promises' that she reportedly spoke?

[Elsie]

Two days ago it was 3° here!

Yesterday a warm front rolled thru and the GW enthusiasts will be crowing, “I told you so!” as it approaches 60° today.

[Elsie]

Is he accurate?

Is it relevant?

Galatians 3:27-29

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

[Elsie]

For all of you who were baptized into Christ ...
And if you belong to Christ...

Note that Paul did NOT write:

For all of you who were baptized by a Catholic priest...
or...
And if you belong to the church of Rome...

[Elsie]

He also infers that being a woman is a bad thing, for he uses the word “accused” instead of the word “supposed” in that comment.

It sounds to me that being R&B is the 'bad' thing; as it's pointed out that R&B supposedly seems to ACCUSE various people all the time of something or another.

Mostly Protestant people.

But his own chosen religion's Supreme Leader gets a heck of a lot of flak as well; so us heretical minions shouldn't complain TOO much.

HMMMmmm...

From time to time, some FR Catholics like to trot out a fairly high ranking ex-Prot; that converted to the RCC way of thinking; as some kind of person for the rest of us Prots to emulate.
