God has a plan and that plan includes everyone and everything. I pity you that you can’t trust God.

Maybe you should consider reading the Bible... Purty good advice.
And from a catholic; too!

It's sad how some people will use a
positive sentence in a negative way, isn't it? They are really "backhanded compliments" - A backhanded compliment or left-handed compliment or asteism is an insult disguised as a compliment. It is generally used to belittle or condescend, or often one uses a backhanded compliment when one wants to insult someone in a subtle way. (

So you are coming back to the Catholic Church, Jesus will be excited. Nope. I'm done with bondage to works.
Galatians 5:1-6 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
Colossians 2:20-23 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulationsDo not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch (referring to things that all perish as they are used)according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

Elsie is a wealth of Scripture passages.Nope.
The Catholics have given many lifetimes to preserving the Scriptures we do have.
And after them, we have plenty of other folks to be given praise for the lives (and deaths) that they gave in order for me to have such an abundance of material at my fingertips.
I am merely another messenger - an ass, if you will - that is trying to get the Word - God's message - to be looked at, read and understood.

I asked you to present them, you said they existed, yet didnt. ergo they do not exist. When you ask Catholics for evidence, we present it and you ignore it. You failed epically.

the same God that pickled the worst Pope (Whoever you think it is this week) is the same God that guides the Catholic Church in all truth and has promised that the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Catholic Church.
You have to admit the propensity for Italian Popes elected not to mention four from the Medici family.

Nope, depraved men were responsible for the depraved Popes sitting where they did.
Also amazing how the conclave was consistently 'led' to choose popes from the Medici family. 4 no less.

Yes. I’d like to know if you believe if you don’t confess your sins to a priest does that disqualify you from Heaven?
Does it nullify believing Christ died on the cross for your sins?

Elsie, I agree that Jesus commands us to judge with righteous judgement. But we cannot take God’s place in judgement. We can say things like “rape is wrong” or “blasphemy is a sin against God,” but we cannot judge whether a person will or will not be saved. Full right to pass that judgement belongs to the Son.
