And making false accusations about us and to us is going to want us to come running right back into the warm loving arms of the Catholic church?

And making false accusations about us and to us is going to want us to come running right back into the warm loving arms of the Catholic church?
Horse-hockey.
In July 1520 Pope Leo X issued a papal bull (public decree) that concluded that Luther’s propositions were heretical and gave Luther 120 days to recant in Rome. Luther refused to recant, and on January 3, 1521 Pope Leo excommunicated Martin Luther from the Catholic Church.
Luther was a heretic, he had a chance to recant, and he refused.
I know right?
It’s rather interesting how they can’t take what they dish out. I even told ebb directly that I reply in kind to his insults just to point out how much he hates it when what he does to others is done to him.
I don’t think he read the post where I said that, tho.
Mostly I now wonder what these Prot haters will say when meeting Jesus. “I insulted people away from You and lied about them to their faces! Do I get a treat?”
Oh right, recant WHAT? The blasphemy that the Romanists were committing against Jesus with their indulgences sales.
You proudly said you’d be excommunicated by Francis. Are you going to condemn yourself too?
Hypocrite.
Heretics can't excommunicate Catholics.
No false accusations have been made on my part. And Jesus Christ did not beg people to come running into His loving arms. He preached the Truth; and He preached the consequences of those who refused the Truth. He didn't come to "play nice".
Mark, just a note to say you’ve done a great job on this thread of speaking the truth, clarifying differences and presenting the Gospel of Grace.
Those who have ears to hear and understand their need for a Savior will respond.
Those who are closed, self-righteous, trusting their own pitiful works, and man-made rituals ... well, all we can do is leave them in the hands of Jesus.
He knows hearts. He loves the unlovable.
You have been a great witness here and I’ve enjoyed reading your responses.
Keep it up, bro!
“No false accusations have been made on my part.
I posted the complete list of your falsehoods, as you asked me to do.
Do you need to see it again?
Better question, why do you cling to a religion of self-works and self righteousness, instead of coming to Him for the gift of eternal life in His presence, assurance of salvation and amazing grace?
Paul faced that choice and chose the grace of God in Christ, and said he now considers all his former self- righteousness as rubbish.
Do you know you are rejecting salvation?
Then Luther was never excommunicated, because if Francis is a heretic, so is Leo.
Then why are you whining when we don’t play nice back?
Hypocrite.
I’d like to see it!
Just so I have evidence when pointing out ebby’s mortal sins and hypocritical self righteousness.
Who's whining? It's not I who is asking for threads to pulled because they offend my "sensibility".
Ooo, look who’s thread-hopping.
And lying too, because I never used the word ‘sensibility.’
I’m just treating you the way you treat everyone else. Don’t blame me that you can’t take what you dish out, heretic.
And for that matter, don’t blame me that you can’t seem to follow the rules of Free Republic.
If your threads weren’t in violation of the rules, they’d have never been pulled.
ebb Tide was banned!
Permanently, I hope.
As much as it’s fun to watch him howl his rage, he does tend to drive me a little crazier than normal and push the limits of the rules. I really don’t want to have to call the mods on myself to delete my posts when I post over-passionately!
But he’s gone for at least a few days now, and good riddance.
May he come to faith in Christ alone for salvation.
May he find peace in Him and not in an earthly religion or works.
Amen!
You are so right. When we truly accept Jesus, we try our best not to sin and if we do, we pray for forgiveness. No one is perfect. I have seen statements by this pope which make me wonder if he is even a Christian. Others have questioned this, too. I was talking about this with a friend who went from being a Catholic to another denomination. She is so much happier being out of Catholicism. I asked her if she had prayed to Mary. She said, “of course.”
Hooray for your friend! And thanks be to God.
