Well, considering we can read the clap-trap contained in this April Fool’s joke every day on FR, it’s no wonder people have been taken in.
Add to that list, confession to a priest.
If you believe that Christ died on the cross for every past, present, and future sin, and have accepted Christ as your personal savior. He became the conduit between you and God for forgiveness.
When I left the Catholic Church, I discussed this with the Father of that church. All he could tell me was that it gave older parishioners comfort to confess to a Priest. What a load of rubbish. Deny the sacrifice of Christ for comfort?
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I agree that all of what the author said has bothered me as well, and perhaps his words will have unintended consequences.
My wife asked me if I was going to vote for Trump and I said, “Does a bear shyt in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic?” And then I realized that I wasn’t so sure about the Pope any more.
He, like any trillionaire, annoys me no end when he criticizes others for not helping the immigrants enough.
They'd better be quick about it then...
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Nah, those are some of his keystone teachings. At this point he would have to refute his own refutations.
Maybe you should check out his teachings, then.
He should. He was an Assembly of God minister for years.....
First, He's going to have to show Staples why all his refutations are wrong.
Got me!
It’s too bad Tim was joking about something that is a no joking matter. Ironically, every reason he gave for his faux conversion was actually true! I’ll pray that the Holy Spirit convicts his heart.
You’ve got more guts than I do; mocking the true words of God...
It's too bad he doesn't have a Savior to believe in. If he did, it wouldn't matter what church he went to.
His faith is misplaced. Too bad it's not in Christ instead of a church.

My grandmother was a Maupin; from the Huguenots. They were
run out of France rather violently. Went to Holland; then
on to England where they later left & came to America &
fought in the Revolutionary War. My folks were sort of
soured on the Catholic Church after all that. All the
long robes & pomp & circumstance they could not abide.
Too bad this guy picked the gospel for his April Fool’s joke.
I wouldn’t do that the other way around.
I take it all very seriously, and he just injured that.
I’m probably too sensitive. I probably should laugh. Kyrie Eleison.
If he already believed those things once, then by whom was he convicted NOT to believe them?
I was wondering as I went to the computer... which FReerper was going to do that today....
First story I clicked on too
He doesn’t know how right he was with his five points.
Sadly, Roman Catholics do pray TO these people.
Also like presidents, popes can do a LOT of damage. Someday that damage may be too much.
