Thanks to both of you. Interestingly I am being accused of starting flame wars by some camps.
I have asked them to show me where I am misrepresenting any group, but doubt I'll get an answer....
Quite honorable and Biblical work from my perspective.
And appreciated.
Oh, dear. I said that to GAMECOCK!
Another miracle. Build a altar in the middle of the road. Collect the magesterical. Order some pontifical robes.
Let's build some tabernacles right here in honor of the silly miracle.

1-2 is a valid claim for the Catholic and Orthodox Churches combined, wrong for the LDS.
3: Catholic Chruch did not add anything to the Bible, see canons of Hippo and Carthage, or show me an approved Bible prior to Luther without the deuterocanonical books.
4: Suffering for the purging of forgiven sins is in 1 Cor 3
5 is nothing wrong. We love and praise who Jesus loved and praised.
6. Celibacy is a discipline and not a doctrine. Celibacy was praised by St. Paul and Christ Himself.
7 is accurate per the scripture, see Luke 1:43.
8 is accurate per the scripture, see Luke 22:32, Matthew 16:18.
9 is accurate per the prevailing usage since the Age of Martyrs; aslo see Jude 1:14, where the saints are the group assisting in judgement of all.
10 is again in 1 Cor 3.
11 is false for the Catholic Church. Doctrines get elaborated but they do not change or evolve to a different doctrine.
As Martin Luther wrote in his 95 Theses...
83. Again, "Why are funeral and anniversary masses for the dead continued and why does he (pope) not return or permit the withdrawal of the endowments founded for them, since it is wrong to pray for the redeemed?"
Kinda par for the course.
BTW, I thought the test was spot on!
I have asked them to show me where I am misrepresenting any group, but doubt I'll get an answer....
Starting flame wars, you say? I could teach you a thing or two. All I have to do is post a news article without commentary, and I'm accused of all sorts of nefarious things. Never mind what happens when another Catholic posts the very same material (a poster who, by comparison, was exceptionally kind to me). It's all about the person, not the material.
My showing up is merely enough to start a flame war.
