Magazine: Growing Trend--Evangelicals ‘Crossing the Tiber’ to Catholicism

[Cronos]

"He told me that the Gospels were for the Jews only and didn't apply to Christians. (ultra or hyper dispensationalism, I believe) I asked him about the prayer that Our Lord taught us. He grinned and shook his head NO, NO, NO...not a Christian prayer. Oddly enough though, I did convince him of works. Go figu" --> The problem, in my humble opinion, is when one tries to take bits and pieces instead of the whole

This is why you see in Protestantism, only say preaching or only singing. This is unlike at mass where we have preaching, singing, the offering, etc. where we read from the OT, Gospels, psalms, epistles etc.

God is not limited as those outside The Church seem to think, but is unlimited

[roamer_1]

Well there ya go, straight from the Chair of the Apostle today, Pope roamer_1 has spoken!

*chuckles*...

Surely you can't confuse me with some usurped chair in Rome, like the one the statue of Jupiter currently sits in...

Why, I haven't even had my foot replaced *once*! Wait... Let me check... Nope! no groveling Romanists slobbering on my toes...

[Cronos]

Yes -- that is why we come to worship Christ in fullness in His Church, the One Catholic and Apostolic CHurch. hallelujah

We are not like the Ewangelicals who chop and change and move things about and run from pastor to paster.

[roamer_1]

[Quix:] This thread documents what REAL CHURCH is like:...

[narses:]Snake handling firewalkers, ROTFLMAO!

I don't think he knows Whom he is scoffing at...

[narses]

Snort - but I do, have you a mirror? Or other ‘magic’ devices?

Hail Bopp!

[Cronos]

And, you will find this if you look in any OrthodoxPresbyterian order of Service -- If you check link to one example you will see that for Sunday, June 20th, 2010 (the only worship bulletin on the site), they only read Old Covenant Reading: Zechariah 8:1-23, New Covenant Reading: Ephesians 4:17-32



You probably know that Luther removed a few books from the Bible and added the word “alone” to fide. But the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-denominations since then have gone much further.

You now have the OrthodoxPresbyterianC (hardly Orthodox, maybe Presbyterian and definitely not a church) which just excerpts (why have all the nasty stuff like the letter of James or the Gospels or the OT).

[roamer_1]

Titus 1:1-9

What exactly do you intend this passage to say?

[narses]

“Surely you can’t confuse me with some usurped chair in Rome, like the one the statue of Jupiter currently sits in...”

And yet you claim ultimate knowledge, infallible truth.

Hail Bopp!

[roamer_1]

all ye are brethren.

Oh... you saw that part too? Thanks for your reply.

[roamer_1]

Learning humility and brokenness before God and respect for HIS DOINGS can be a VERY interesting process.

TRUE. Understated, but very, very true.

[roamer_1]

In this apostate age, you will see plenty of evangelical church members be lured to Roman religion as well as to cults, isms, Islam, etc.

It is to be expected... And that will add to their boastings of size and strength.

I believe Rome and Islam will even link up in the Apostasy.

That isn't a far reach. They are much the same.

[Cronos]

Oh, but we were telling YOU and Iscool. Of course, as I said whatever you and Iscool’s various non-Christian groups want to do, go ahead, it’s a free country. When you want to experience the fullness of Christ and to experience a personal relationship with Christ, come to mass and experience Christ during the Eucharist. You can still reject the fire-worshippers and come to the fullness of Christ in His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church

[Cronos]

Nah, no crackers or fire-worshipping in Christ’s One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. You can leave the fire-worshipping behind and still come and worship Christ in Christ’s Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church. And, you can experience a personal relationship with Christ in the Eucharist, a personal one on one relationship

[roamer_1]

Snort - but I do, have you a mirror? Or other ‘magic’ devices? Hail Bopp!

Nope. Just the power of the cleansing Blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Good Book... That's all that is necessary.

[Cronos]

True, cliches are irritating.

[Cronos]

to iscool —> Experience it yourself when you leave behind the magicians and the fireworshipping and come to experience the fullness of Christ in Christ’s One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church. Have a personal relationship with Christ in the Eucharist.

[roamer_1]

And yet you claim ultimate knowledge, infallible truth.

I claimed no such thing - That would be on your side of the fence.

[Cronos]

Nah, you can come to the Catholic Church in your home town, you don't have to travel in the past and over distances to Republican Rome. you can still come to Christ and worship Christ in fullness in His Church, the One Catholic and Apostolic CHurch. hallelujah!

No need to blindly follow pasters and leave them to jump to different pasters.

[Cronos]

HaHaHa...Sure...Forget about Jesus...

no, no, the fireworshipping group you leave behind does that. In Christ's Church, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church at mass we worship Christ in fullness! And we have a personal relationship with Him in the Eucharist! Come, come to Christ

Give it up, cronos - you are in this alone. Enjoy your deception.
