Mark, a catholic never tells me if I'm a Christian or not.
I'll let Jesus do the talking:
Matthew 7:. 15 9 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So by their fruits you will know them. 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, 10 but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' 23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. 11 Depart from me, you evildoers.'
God's calls me His own, so I am a Christian.
Really? Didja get a secret decoder ring and a secret handshake? The fruits are rancid; how did you decide that God calls you His own?
Christians follow Jesus Christ - Who is THE WORD! Catholics follow man with their man made teachings.
Odd, I keep posting the instructions of Jesus and keep getting told by your bunch that it doesn't apply to them, or that the Gospels are for the Jews only, or some other avoidance tactic. Catholics follow the instructions of Jesus as spelled out in the Bible and you guys sneer at us and call us Pharisees. Protestants don't follow much of anything and now you claim you are following Jesus? At a distance, dude, at a far distance.
I am a child of The Most High with blessed assurance of my life with Him forever! I'm blessed, blessed, blessed!
Not with the ability to read Scripture, that's for sure. You guys reject the commands of Jesus.
Your pope calls you his children. Maybe your inheritance will be his red slippers if you bow and kiss his ring while he's kissing the koran. Maybe he'll even engrave an "M" on it - not for Mark but Mary - Queen of Purgatory.
Here's a Richard Roberts prayer hanky to wipe the spittle off your face when you come out of the seizure.
