My posts, slightly upthread, were contributed before I realized this thread was to be used as piranha bait.
I really goofed up. The hatred these threads elicit can not be good, and I always fail to check out first to see if they are caucus-only threads.
Answering hateful, blasphemous remarks of those who can never be caught up to speed on Jewish Tradition will likewise never be able to fathom Catholic Tradition, its derivative. Even Luther saw what he did to the Church, and since then the Reformation has only increasingly imploded into many disparate pieces, with ignorant radicals in many places.
I will be caucus-only in the future, unless I goof up again before I realize the grave error of participating in these nasty open threads.
I loved the title and subject and have hope that the great Church will return to its former counter cultural piety and practice soon....before Remnant time. ;)
If you're going to object to what you think are nasty threads, don't keep contributing to the problem.
Because your post is certainly not peace making.
Yeah, those radicals like Jesus!
Mark 7: 6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.’
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to
human traditions.”
9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! ...
HATE: the last bastion of those unable to sufficiently support their practices.
Rome has NEVER been reticent in doing this!
But at least it manages to produce the EVIDENCE of what IT calls BLASPHEMOUS!
Rome would have NEVER had a LUTHER to cope with; if it had not been so screwed up to begin with.
Ever hear of the COUNTER reformation?
More people would rather be praised into Hell;
than rebuked into Heaven.
...ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints...
