I’m confused. Do you want to save my soul or convince me that I’m damned? Your arguments have become more and more angry. I’m not interested in winning an argument. I’m sharing the joy I have in my faith. If you want to share your joy, assuming you have any, I would like to hear from you again. Otherwise, God bless you but please leave me alone.
To be honest, it would be both. A person has to be convicted of their sin before repentance.
Your arguments have become more and more angry. I’m not interested in winning an argument.
You noted the following: I maintain that most Protestants do not understand the concept of worship and that’s sad. Carrying a statue of Our Lady is not worship.
All I did was post a reply to compare the aspects of worship in the New Testament with what is witnessed in Roman Catholicism.
Most Roman Catholics do not like it when the New Testament and their practices are put side by side for review.
Analyze the prayer “Hail Mary.” The first sentence is from Luke. Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you.
I did just that.
I noted it is a poor translation that Rome relies upon and I noted the emphasis of the prayer is to Mary in contrast to what is witnessed in the New Testament where all prayer is directed to God.
Again, most Roman Catholics do not like it when their beliefs are examined in light of Scripture.
I’m sharing the joy I have in my faith. If you want to share your joy, assuming you have any, I would like to hear from you again.
You accuse me, wrongly I might add, of my post becoming "more and more angry" yet you accuse me of potentially not having any faith.
If I didn't have any faith in Christ, and only Christ, I wouldn't be making these posts to you...and to anyone else reading them.
Otherwise, God bless you but please leave me alone.
As long as a thread is an open thread and you post on it I reserve the right to post as I deem necessary. If the open thread is too much for you, perhaps you should limit your comments to those of the caucus threads.
But even there I've noticed Roman Catholics going at it with each other.
And how do you detect tone of voice in the written word?
Or are you just projecting or is it wishful thinking?
Or maybe trying to discredit the message by attacking the messenger?
On what basis do you conclude anger in his posts?
