And you didn’t look in the mirror and repeat those scriptures, either, did you?

You said, “There’s only one reflection in that mirror — Jesus Christ.”

If you look in your mirror and see Jesus Christ, then you are worshipping yourself. That is what I expect, after reading the OPC on all the open Catholic threads.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

uhhhhhhhhhh

They’re thinking . . .

Probably expecting a special message to flutter down any minute on a white hanky to bail them out . . .

Probably something about St Peter declaring in a special prophecy that FR would be

TOTALLY THEIR’S some day.

I didn’t say I worshiped myself. I said Christ was in me and I in Christ.

For Roman Catholics to be so skeptical of that fact is very sad indeed.

Your post breaks the rules of Free Republic by making personal statements about another FReeper.

Try to abide by the rules. They exist to help all of us.

Yeah, they’ll probably hit the abuse button on you. They like to do that. Don’t worry, there are ways to get the point across.

Actually, I think I’m leaving the thread. I have something enjoyable to do. ;-D Hope you have a great evening!

Love it when y’all are so terminally wrong.

The Bible has something to say about folks choosing to unnecessarily take offense.

Biblical truth is vital for the living/ungraduated.

The BIBLICAL TRUTH IS that all our works of righteousness are as a used minstral rag. That’s SCRIPTURE.

Rebel against it at your own risk.

I’m skeptical y’all know much about the Love of Jesus.

Jesus’ LOVE AND TRUTH go hand in hand.

As John and Paula Sandford say in

TRANSFORMATION OF THE INNER MAN

Truth without love is brutality.
Love without truth is useless sentimentality.

It sounds like y’all have not a shred of a clue about me nor about my walk with God.

Biases tend to produce tunnel vision as through an thin straw. Rigid, RELIGIOUS biases can be the most blinding and the most deadly.

BTW,

I don’t think I have ANY wisdom of my own.

Any I have is all from The Lord.

Try again.

The utter fails might get amusing at some point.

to be called a heretical fool by some folks is sort of an honor.

I’d bet there are 15-30 RC abuse button hits per single Proddy hit.

Might even be as high as 50:1

However, we understand about the RC

compulsion to fantasize and concoct all manner of

Alice In Wonderland School Of Theology And Reality Mangling

farcical fantasies.

That’s rich.

Looks like you struck a nerve, Doc.

Bless you and yours. They may hit the abuse button, but it shall be for naught. If they actually look at what they post, in comparison to what they are complaining about... well.

The Truth shall be known.

INteresting that you’d take it that way. Maybe many did.

I considered it a hypothetical statement.

HOWEVER,

We do KNOW that

when in doubt

the

RC DEFAULT POSITION

IS TO TAKE AS MUCH OFFENSE AS POSSIBLE

AND TO WAIL AND WHINE AS LOUDLY as possible.
