>>I think the RCC doctrines are a product of the enemy<<
Please tell us where we stand here. Examples welcome, but I'm not sure that actual names can be used when quoting another FReeper, so date and thread title may be better.
The margin notes in the Geneva Bible are just a study guide. Nothing more. I've got a copy. I've read the notes. They are written by men, not God.
Pick up one or glance at one in a bookstore. Nothing untoward.
Actually, the one who really complained about the study notes was the King of England because the notes stressed religious independence from the monarchy.
>>It’s up to God to figure out the heart of a person.<<
I agree with you 100%!
Does ice cream go with cheese?
No, because if it did they would have left it that way.
I agree with that statement. Without faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, there IS no salvation for anyone, Catholic or Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, Mormon, NO ONE. Many Catholics are saved. Many are not.
I love cheesecake icecream at Baskins and Robbins.
P.S. (I wasn’t saved by baptism. I was saved by putting my faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ when I was 30 years old—39 years ago.)
no problem here - I dont care for the rules - we worship the same Trinitarian God
mud = truth
>>For the Son of man became man so that we might become God. The only begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods<<
Unless you can provide a link to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and not not the “Let Us Reason” website (which is all that came up on this quote) I would say it’s a lie.
Are you my sister? I’m a WASP, too.
OR, are you my brother??
Thanks for posting that. It’s a keeper.
Which of the people in this passage of Scripture are going to heaven and those who are going to hell in this parable from the Gospel of Luke?:
25
10 There was a scholar of the law 11 who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26
Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27
He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28
He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”
29
But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30
Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead.
31
12 A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
32
Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
33
But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight.
34
He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him.
35
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’
36
Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?”
37
He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38
Jesus was not a Christian.
Exactly.
Here is the whole quote...
“It follows that these separated churches and Communities, though we believe they suffer from defects, are deprived neither of significance nor importance in the mystery of salvation. In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation, whose value derives from that fullness of grace and of truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church”
So you don’t think that the Catholic church should think that your way of thinking is defective? Don’t you think the ways of the Catholic Church are defective?
The Vatican didn’t say Protestants but Protestant churches are defective. If they were just like the Catholics, they would be Catholic. If we were like the Protestants, we would be Protestant. You are not defective in the eyes of the Catholic church.
You must be looking in all the wrong places. Most protestants, at least born again ones, ARE gaga about Jesus. Liberal or cafeteria Christians, no.
So right. Again.
Nice post, I agree. I wonder if muslims have these sort of discussions over their religion. Somehow I doubt it.
And thank you everyone who responded!!!!!
