Hatred Converted Me To Catholicism

Whenever God does ANYTHING in this world, He is opposed and hated. Anything at all. If God makes His mark, here on Earth, either the Devil tries to wreck it, or Satan inspires his children to do so. This disdain for all creation and any constructive thing is an anti-Logos, pernicious spirit of ruin. This deep brand of hate is a religious way of thinking, and this feeling can be as shallow or go as deep as it wants. The hate I’m talking about can be a subtle inclination, or it can be an overt obsession. For example, you can be either a Soviet-minded Bolshevist, or you could simply be a vandalizer—you’re serving the Evil Cause in some capacity.

You are correct about Satan still being active in this world. He is called "the prince of the power of the air":

    And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (Ephesians 2:1-5)

    For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Eph. 6:12)

Predictable, aren’t they? Not even waiting a week anymore!

Bumping their OWN thread, too! Hilarious.

What's the problem of RCs who exalt their church

There's no problem at all. They rightfully exalt the One, True Church.

P.S. Hss there been any censorship on this thread of you protestants?

You’re losing it. Get some sleep.

You have been reduced to throwing spitwads. Sleep is welcomed. Glory be to God in Christ.

And you complain about “censorship” on an open thread?

Amazing.

Great post.

Catholics today don’t seem to want to know about the persecution and murder they perpetrated upon Christians. The ones I’ve talked with are actually woefully ignorant of history. I wonder how many will play along once they form the world super religion.

If the Blessed Mother is in Heaven, how could she appear at Fatima and Lourdes?

She hasn't...Perhaps someone or something has but it is nothing from heaven...

I was referring to human warfare, something that has helped to make us what we are, because the survivors are the ones who hated the enemy the most.

It didn’t include spiritual warfare, which is almost the opposite.

That is also true, although I was referring to actual earthly wars.

I have said to people, “Don’t let them take your righteous hatred away from you.”

That doesn’t mean hatred for people but hatred for the evil, which can even mean hatred for war.

But you and I are in agreement.

Do you think there are no demons, including Lucifer, now in Hell? Just human souls?

No Lucifer is not in hell...Who in the world taught you that...The earth is Satan's domain...And he has a Church...

Rev 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 
Rev 12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 
Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
 

Man, it's all in the bible...

2Co 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 
2Co 11:15  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 

Satan is on the earth...It's his domain...And he has a Church...A huge Church...His goal is to deceive...He has a Christian Church...

Did this thread really need to be posted?

God encouraged him to post it...

It gives us a vehicle to use to post God's truth while exposing the lies...

Christ’s Body = The Church

Close...Christ's Body, the church, does not have a capital 'C'...But you are saying it backwards...Most Catholics say the Church is the body of Christ...Which couldn't be further from the truth...

Try looking up baptism be desire.

We are all familiar with baptism by desire, since all legitimate baptism is baptism by desire...

Act_8:36  And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

Forced baptism (babies) does nothing but get the little tyke wet...
