OIh, please. The garbage and junk we have had to read in order to read from your side in these threads over the years is enough to create a landfill. You think Catholics are "hatefully snide?" We aren't the ones who called Pope Benedict a Nazi. Maybe you can understand why these threads take a hostile turn at times, if you go back and read over some of the "loving" things Quix posts. Or Metmom. Just look in the mirror! Why are you so afraid of facing your vicious sinful natures? Are you unsure of your salvation? Are you not convinced Christ loves you enough to give Himself for you? If you had all that surety you boast about, you'd proclaim your own sinful nature in order to glorify Him. Sadly, you can't. Fear of being hellbound prevents you from accepting your salvation.
You, obviously, are not doing a very good job of reading the posts we have been writing on this very thread for nearly a week now. Not one time have I or or anyone else denied our desperate sinful condition before an all holy and righteous God. I rejoice in the God of my salvation because without the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf, NO ONE can ever merit eternity with him. NO ONE! I am not excusing anyone who posts out of anger or hate. I sincerely try to make sure I don't. I faced my utter depravity and my impotence to ever redeem myself and I thankfully and gratefully accepted the grace of God to save me from my sins. I trust in his precious promises to me, and that is the ONLY reason why I can say I know I am going to heaven. God wants us to have that blessed assurance and he does NOT consider it boastful, rather it is another evidence of faith.
