So, we are back to that full-bodied Pelagianism that Rome always secretly loved, but publicly denounced. Destiny, indeed. Thanks for the clarity.

Aren’t you posting to the wrong thread? Doesn’t this go on the ‘heresy’ thread?

The Catholic Church is not heretical.

The Romanist organization beatifies a guy with, excuse me, a dog’s name who proposes that your destiny is set by your own behavior. Please read your OP. That heresy has lurked in Rome’s background for its entire existence (what, since 300AD?). Bringing it out in public simply exposes a portion of the faulty theology Rome embraces.

And let us not forget the roman church naming their cardinals and having them wear red in honor of the cardinal bird.

Proving that statement in error. St. Bernard of Clairvaux was on earth before the St. Bernard dog.....just a little google got the facts.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Born in 1090, at Fontaines, near Dijon, France; died at Clairvaux, 21 August, 1153.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02498d.htm


St. Bernard dog
The earliest written records of the St. Bernard breed are from monks at the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass in 1707, with paintings and drawings of the dog dating even earlier.[4]

Naming

The name "St. Bernard" originates from the Great St. Bernard Hospice, a traveler's hospice on the often treacherous Great St. Bernard Pass in the Western Alps between Switzerland and Italy. The pass, the lodge, and the dogs are named for Bernard of Menthon, the 11th century monk who established the station.[10]

"St. Bernard" wasn't in widespread use until the middle of the 19th century. The dogs were called "Saint Dogs", "Noble Steeds", "Alpenmastiff", or "Barry Dogs" before that time.

Honestly, folks, I did not believe that Rome was dumb enough to beatify a dog and then name the man after the dog...just a little levity to brighten hump day. But, now that I think about Rome’s logic...hmmm.

Great article; thanks for posting it.

I’m not sure where to begin commenting on it. His remarks about unhealthy curiosity are well said.

Paul tell us in 1 Corinthians 6:18:

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Sound advice any time (it’s Scripture) but particularly so in our hypersexualized culture.

I find it highly revealing that the basis of all sin is “pride”, which even caused angels to fall...

and the homos “key word” for their movement is “pride”.

You definitely have a key word there. Pride is not our friend; humility is.

who proposes that your destiny is set by your own behavior

He's taking after some goofy cultist, Paul somebody, who said, "The wages of sin is death". What an idiotic, Pelagian thing to say.

Here we go again...read the text my FRiend. Maybe your bible reads "The wages of sin is death, but the reward for breaking all your bad habits and making yourself righteous is a chance to burn for a shorter time in purgatory." However, our Bible reads, "The wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of GOD is ETERNAL LIFE in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD." We invite you to the real Gospel...if God permits.
