Why don't you do that any more? Perhaps all those issues have been settled. Now our movement is swooping down upon the catholics - the last bastion of resistance to our sinister plan.
I'll get you, my pretty. And your little dog, too!!!

Why would we need to pray FOR the Saints? For the same reason we were meant to pray for those still on earth, fellowship, expressing our love for one another.
The whole reason we feel confident in praying to them is because were confident theyre already in heaven, happy with Jesus.
Either they are fully part of the body or they are not. You think that getting *to* heaven is the end goal & once there it becomes all about getting more people there?
Has it ever occurred to you that when your pastor stands up there and prays HIS prayer and you sit there with your head bowed, that hes interceding for you?
Yes, of course.
Why do you have your preacher intercede for you?
And the congregation intercedes for him.
Arent your own prayers good enough?
Yes, they are.
Or is it because you think he has the right words?
We don't do the high priest gig, sorry.
Yeah, I thought so.
You thought so what?
And why bother praying for others? Arent you interceding for them?
I am & I do.
Let them pray for themselves! If they are among Gods elect, He will know his own.
Or more like, if they've already made it they no longer need our prayers, right?

If you’ve got a doctrinal point, please raise it. These cloaked personal attacks are clumsy and uninspiring.

Did you read the article? I don't think so. It looks like you just jumped in with the usual ad-hominem words. I begin to think that there are people out there in FR land who just like to argue and be contentious. It seems that many people's own arrogance blinds them to their petulance. In their self-perceived superiority what they say or believe is surely true, after all their ego tells them.
If you really wanted to be honest with yourself, you'd go back and check some threads where certain posters jump in and make snide and "clever" remarks and then ping each other for approval and then seemingly pat themselves on the back. I really see a pack mentality, with a real frenzy to see who can be the most malicious. The one which really cemented my view of those posters was the very nice article about Beckwith.
What are people afraid of and why do they need to wound people who have different beliefs? As I have pointed out in the past, it is quite obvious that saving souls is not what it is all about because you don't get converts with smug, self-satisfied attacks on other faiths. Undoubtedly, there are differences in religion and people of any faith believe that they have found the right faith, especially here in America where we have religious freedom. Anyway, I'm tired of this, I can serve God better.

There is no such thing as a valid Catholic doctrinal point that isn’t already proven wrong by non-Catholics using their own interpretation of scripture. I know how to debate and it is impossible to debate anyone whose ego tells them that they are the only repository of knowledge. As I told x, I’m tired and I’m have better things to do. Bye

I think these type threads targeted at protestants are an effort at proselytizing. They are full of doctrinal error that needs to see the light of day.

It has already been proven that incorporating the rituals of pagan beliefs will readily convert the masses. It's worked before, which is why I thought it might work again. If it's successful, buy stock in Christmas tree farming. I love, loved P-Marlowe's knee pads, but think we'd also need some kind of headgear to protect people's foreheads as they raised their tushes up to the Lord, erm, bowed down in His honor.
Is there someway we can incorporate jihad without producing a bunch of suicidals?
We could push hard with the internal struggle interpretation.

LOL........I woke up this morning to find a post slamming Mother Teresa.........I am done for awhile. You cannot reason with someone who slams her.

One more post (I couldn't resist)
Your assertion is not only false it is a prime example of the mindset of those who think they know all about Catholics and the Church. You assert that OBVIOUSLY you know better than Catholics what is taught in the Church. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW THAT?

I liked “ferner,” too. We usually spell it “furrner” in these parts :-).

Bold font is easy. Bold blinking multi-colored font is much more interesting!
