Catholics And Lutherans Release ‘Declaration On The Way’ To Full Unity

United States Conference of "Catholic" Bishops ^ | 10/30/15 | USCCB

[ebb tide]

Both are Christian churches in the family of the Christian faith.,

According to the Catholic Church, the above is a false statement.

Vatican: Protestants Not 'Sister Churches'

[Biggirl]

But share the same Christian baptism. This is why for example when a Protestant is received into the Church, they are not baptized again, the Lutheran baptism is accepted by the Catholic Church.

[ebb tide]

A pagan, a muslim, or a Jew can be baptized. Your ecumaniac argument holds no water.

[Biggirl]

Not dealing with the 3 groups you mentioned, just in regards to other Christians, those who have been baptized.

[ebb tide]

Look up EENS. It’s a dogma of the Catholic Church.

[piusv]

The scourge of Vatican II continues.

[Biggirl]

Rather let us pray for the unity of Christians via John 17.

Done posting.

[ebb tide]

Done posting.

Good, I'm glad. I don't like to see you misleading Protestants and Catholics, alike.

[Biggirl]

You have been forgiven for bearing false witness.

May God be merciful to you.

Done, done, done.

[piusv]

So long as that “unity” means return to the Catholic Faith.

[ebb tide]

Get over it, sister. You can’t forgive sins. Are you even a Catholic?

[Salvation]

I expected this to happen after the invitation was extended to the Anglicans.

I’m sure it’s not going out to the ELCA, but to the faithful Lutherans of Missouri Synod.

[Salvation]

It will.

[ebb tide]

I'm sure it's not going out to the ELCA, but to the faithful Lutherans of Missouri Synod.

Did you miss the following statement?

Five hundred years ago wars were fought over the very issues about which Lutherans and Roman Catholics have now achieved consensus," said ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton.

[Biggirl]

As a Christian we are commanded to forgive those who treat us with ill. Doing as God commands us to do.

[ebb tide]

Twice you have said that you were “done” with me.

Make up you mind and choose your “church”. But don’t defend false “churches” in the name of a Catholic.

[Biggirl]

Done.

From now on, I will put you on posting ignore. Please do the same. Thank-you.

[ebb tide]

You’ve done that before with me. Have you no self-control?

[Biggirl]

AMEN.

“There are many power parties in the Vatican. Let’s just the ELCA and the LCMS didn’t meet with the same people.”

No, actually they would have met with the exact same people if the mission was ostensibly the same - and that would have been decided by the Lutherans.
