So sad that you cannot conceive of carrying Christ across a body of water. I can, but maybe that is the mother in me.

Catholics conceive whatever 'feels' right, comfy - liberalism.

Christians believe God's Word what IS TRUTH. Catholics conceive they are eating his body and blood - cannibalism. Catholics conceived Mary is Queen of 'whatever the flavor of the day' warrants. The list is endless what catholics are taught to conceive. And ALL AGAINST God's WORD.

God doesn’t reach out to anyone with man-made teachings and doctrines of man. What heresy.

God’s Word IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY.

My life is blessed!

[Salvation]

Catholics believe God’s Word is truth too.

What part of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” don’t you understand?

You do reach out to others. That’s God’s grace working WITHIN you.

Tell me, now, honestly, have you ever prayed for anyone? That’s reaching out to others.

[AnAmericanMother]

Good gracious, your concept of Catholicism is quite mistaken. I'm not sure where you got some of these ideas, but they are just not true.

Do get a copy of the Catechism and read it. It has scriptural citations for every entry, and it doesn't say at all what you think it does.

As for the Eucharist . . . please go and read John 6:50 et seq. The Jews thought it was cannibalism too, and many disciples went back and walked no more with Christ. But Jesus said what He said. If you value God's word, perhaps you should take Him at His word.

Who goes to the catechism when they want Truth? I burned mine long ago! Garbage in, garbage out.

If you value God's word, perhaps you should take Him at His word.

Until you burn your catechism and believe and live by God's Word is THE FINAL AUTHORITY - you can't talk about the value of God's Word! Until then, that comment will be laugh at.

please go and read John 6:50 et seq.

Please burn your catechism and get to KNOW God's Word instead of directing Christians to it. It's really quite funny, actually. I could very easily explain that Scripture to you - but sometimes, when I see some posts - they scream of 'they need to learn the hard way'. And that's the column where your post goes.

Catholics eat off the plate of deception and enjoy it - that's why they remain unteachable.

I think, it would be better if you posted your ignorant opinions about the Holy Scrupture where someone asks for them.

Besides making this personal, this is an opinion about my post I didn’t ask for. Obey the rules of the RF and follow your own advice.

[Pyro7480]

Yes, your interpretation of Scripture is erroneous.

[presently no screen name]

Yes, your interpretation of Scripture is erroneous.

And that's your answer to...?
And that's supposed to trump God's Holy Spirit inspired Word that ALWAYS was and ALWAYS will be?....Buy a clue - HE/HIS WORD REIGNS, HE/HIS WORD RULES. And everyone will bow at HIS WORD, JESUS for He is The Word.

NOTHING TRUMPS God's Word! It ALWAYS was and ALWAYS will be - long after the rcc catechism and their counterfeit church doctrines burn burn burn.

And I'll add catholics can't even interpret who His mother is as He told us in His Word. Instead they bow to the RCC teachings of maryology which is from the pit of hell.

God's Word is the absolute Final Authority and catholics can never say they didn't know. It's GOD KINGDOM - It's HIS WAY - Jesus, The Word, is the ONLY Way - it's the narrow path that leads to eternal life and a few enter it. Everything else is the wide road that leads to destruction and many enter it.

Praise God for His Holy Spirit inspired Word!!

[Pyro7480]

And that's your answer to...?

That's my answer to the erroneous notion that Scripture contradicts Catholic teachings.

That's my answer to the erroneous notion that Scripture contradicts Catholic teachings

That is an erroneous notion. Here's the truth - Catholic teachings nullify God's Word.

You posted an opinion and it is ignorant as posted. What’s personal about me pointing that out? This is a discussion forum.

This IS a discussion site - so who are you to tell me when/where/how/what I can post?

I didn't ASK for your opinion - so practice what you preach ....I think, it would be better if you posted your ignorant opinions about the Holy Scrupture where someone asks for them That is liberalism supreme - 'do as I say but not as I do'. Also, I'm not catholic, I don't succumb to man's control.

So stay focused on what you post and 'try' to remember this is a conservative site.

Bottom line - and grasp this - never tell me what you think I should do. FYI...Ignorance is being led by men in glittery dresses who rule/cover rapist priest.

"Thou shalt not make any graven image".

God's Word is The Final Authority.

[annalex]

I think we can agree, especially as conservatives, that ignorant opinions are better not be posted.

Like, in this case: sure the Jews were told not to make images, at least not in the context of worship. So when you spot a Jew posting icons of St. Christopher, hurry and tell him not to, I won’t stand in your way.

We Catholic Christians are not Jews and we were not told that; in fact, since Jesus being God came to us as visible man, we pretty much SHOULD make images of divine subjects. It is not complicated, but probably goes over the head of judaizing Protestants whose name, unfortunately, is legion.

But I am sure you, conservative and all, will learn from this.

Interestign that in the Orthodox iconographical tradition St. Christiphor is often shown with a dog's head. Not always, but sometimes. I understand, that is done to indicate his rough nature prior to the conversion.
