[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

I’ll cook my grandma’s “Butterscotch squares”!

In addition - wherein is it recorded that Peter claimed to a pope? Of that Christ established the RCC?

Press on my dear unseen sister.

[fortheDeclaration]

Prayer is mightier even than the pen.

Amen.

[fortheDeclaration]

I am told that a priest at the end of a long career of parish ministry was asked what he had learned for hearing so many confessions, and he said, "few people are happy and even fewer ever grow up."

Yes, staying in Romanism will do that!

And what is even worse is what the likely eternal future for them.

I don't find that to be the case in my Presbyterian church. We're quite a happy bunch, by the grace of God. And guys like Quix and blue-duncan and Manfred and the_conscience and wmfights and wileypink and scubienuc and forstkeeper and harleyd and ftd and 1000S and Lord-Calvinus and Gamecock all give every indication of being likewise contented and productive and happy by and for and through the merciful faith in Jesus Christ that God has blessed them with.

Amen.

I am so happy that I have a hard time believing that heaven is going to be even better! (1Cor.2:9)

[fortheDeclaration]

And what is even worse is what the likely eternal future for them.

Grammar correction: That should read, 'what is even worse is, for most of them, their eternal future.

[fortheDeclaration]

We responded that all the world is without excuse in recognizing Christ is Lord,

Actually it is recognizing that Jesus is the Lord (1Cor.12:3).

There are many gods and lords (1Cor.8:5) who are in fact, themselves fallen Angels and Satan himself (2Cor.4:4).

Modern versions remove the from 1Cor.12:3, thus anyone can now say Jesus is Lord without saying He is the Lord (King of Kings, Lord of Lords).

[fortheDeclaration]

the other side to reply . . . thereby affording the sending side the UNGreat opportunity to play dodge-ball with a different meaning of a common word than might have been understood or thought of to begin with.

Amen.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL. AMEN!

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever" -- Psalm 146:3-6

[fortheDeclaration]

What would you call someone who abuses another, then claims the abuse was for the good of the abused when the abuse is so obviously enjoyed by the abuser?

Doctors?

LOL!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Modern versions remove the from 1Cor.12:3, thus anyone can now say Jesus is Lord without saying He is the Lord (King of Kings, Lord of Lords).

Wow. Anything to deflect the singular, personal, specific Lordship of Jesus Christ alone.

Another reason to stick with the KJV.

[fortheDeclaration]

We can conclude from this logic that if the church moved you away from the Gospel you would follow happily since the church has all authority.

What do you mean if?

[fortheDeclaration]

—apostate —on another world —committed to an asylum —a sodomite —a friend of dogs with fleas —having only a passing interest in the [UN]rubberized Bible —psychopathology —self-delusional mind —psychopath

With those qualites you ought to run for President!

Everyone else has!

RC edifice?

For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is the of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorah, their grapes are grapes of gall , their clusters are bitter: their wine (!!!!) is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps.(Deut.32:32-33)

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, because in worshiping idols they were really worshipping devils (Lev.17:7).

And moreover, they were not worshipping the idol itself, but what it represented, it was to be an aid in their worship.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I'll cook my grandma's "Butterscotch squares"!

"Butterscotch squares!?!

You have FReepmail!

[fortheDeclaration]

Do NOT bow down . . .

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Seems pretty clear!

Wait, there must be a verse in the New Testament that states, 'unless you are worshiping, excuse me, 'adoring' a saint or Mary'

[reagandemocrat]

bingo.

The testament of those martyrs, in addition to the thousands and thousands of other martyrs (like the Japanese martyrs and kakure kirishitans) is irrefutable witness to our faith.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL. I recently spoke to an elderly gentleman who is 104! When asked for the secret to his longevity and good health, he replied...

"I always eat the fruit I grow in my backyard; I walk up and down the stairs to get to and from my library; and when doctors tell me to take some medicine, I ask them if they're taking it, too. If they say no, then why should I take it? And if they say yes, well...they don't look so good."

Exactly!

Doctors are always putting people on medication that they do not need or has serious complications.

"For their rock is not as our Rock..."

AMEN!

Exactly right! I made that point yesterday with more words and less clarity. 8~)
