Please keep in mind that these are ALL printed Catholic Bibles and covers the period from 1469 AD to 1592AD

Did your own QUOTED words make you do a bit of research?

[Elsie]

folks what do you call a person who persists on bothering someone when they ask them to stop?

Did you just ask me a question?

[Elsie]

I think that most protestants totally misinterpret Matthew 25...

Ok; I'll play along with a fella that BELIEVES that Mary hears and helps with his prayers...

Matthew 25:31-46 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

 

³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.

³² And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:

³³ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:

³⁶ Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

³⁷ Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?

³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?

³⁹ Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?

⁴⁰ And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

⁴¹ Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

⁴² For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.

⁴³ I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.

⁴⁴ Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?

⁴⁵ Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.

⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

Yet here you are; almost 700 replies into the thread.

Here I am as well and What onyx mentioned as scanning RF posts while scrolling latest comments is also my experience. And that is usually more than enough to strengthen my resolve to avoid the RF like a poisonous snake.

I DO keep it active in my preferences, because, once in a while there is an article that I am interested in. And, there are a (very) few folks who post who do not exhibit OCD; who put some thought in what they post and who challenge me to examine my beliefs.

if it weren't for the Crusades, you'd be speaking in arabic and kissing allah's BUTT

I'd be careful with that KISSING imagery if I were you!

[Elsie]

narses LIVES!

[Elsie]

Skip right on by! Easy as pie!

Nay; mere mortal!

The words that I post are anointed with a special potion causing those who even Glance at them, to be UNABLE to avoid their awesome power!!!

[Elsie]

then hows about I take up the cause with you and show up on your threads whenever you appear and just make off the wall disparaging remarks about your faith, opinions remarks.

HMMM...

It appears to me that you already have this MO.

[Elsie]

I’m sure you are going to really dig getting to know me.

Good ahead - Show your ass.

I'll continue to post Scripture and Catholic teaching wherever and whenever I can.

[Elsie]

Not sure whose spirit you are filled with...but it is not the Holy Spirit I know.

I...
Must...
Resist...

[RoosterRedux]

where on Earth did you come up with that three day in the streets nonsense???

Man, what is is with "youse guys" not knowing Scripture...

Rev 11:8

And their [the two witnesses] dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Rev 11:9

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Rev 11:10

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

[Elsie]

no

[Elsie]

Ok, yet another genuine inquiry: how do you feel when St. Paul said he was making up in his body what is lacking in the Suffering of Christ?

Feeling is best left for Liberals.

Do you have a reference?

[Elsie]

Tinkling bell and sounding brass

[Elsie]

And because Mary was FULL of grace, there was absolutely no room for sin.

Did you just MAKE this up; or did someone else?

[Elsie]

There is a yelping dog in that pack of canines.

I wonder who it is?

[Elsie]

...for example, he doesn't think that anyone is in Heaven

And you can PROVE it!

[Elsie]

I’d wager that one is a snake handler as well. Totally vile and hateful.

You seem to indicate that you do NOT believe the words of our beloved JESUS???

Mark 16:18
They shall take up serpents;

[Elsie]

No one on this earth has ever suffered as much as the Blessed Mother of Jesus Christ.

Sigh...

[Elsie]

For those who deny her sufferings and her ability to intercede for them with her Son, I only have pity, and my prayers.

For those who accept what ROME has claimed for this poor woman over the centuries has my condolences.
