[fortheDeclaration]

[Praying to someone isn't an act of worship?]

How do you define "pray?"

See what I mean about playing word games?

Stop wasting my time.

[fortheDeclaration]

If the thread has not been pulled, I will post it for you.

Why, are you expecting something to happen?

[fortheDeclaration]

[The Lord's supper is a rememberance of what He did on the Cross and that He is coming back.]

Traditions of Men.

No, actually that is what the Bible says.

Unlike Roman Catholic doctrine, it is based on scripture (1Cor.11).

You can follow Jean Cauvin, I will follow Christ.

If you were a follower of Christ, you would follow what He said, not what your traditions make up (Mk.7:7).

[Palladin]

“It is impossible to explain to them what only the Holy Spirit can reveal.” — Patty Bonds

[fortheDeclaration]

They do that with virtually every post they make about Catholicism. Misrepresentations, false witness, distortions, sneering derision.

Actually, they either use scripture or your own sources that contradict each other.

You yourself (it was you, wasn't it?) quoted the notorious Catholic-hating Ian Paisley and falsely claimed it was from a papal encyclical, then refused to apologize when proof of your act was offered.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

[Petronski]

It was silverlings.

[Petronski]

This is not a game, the word has meaning.

[fortheDeclaration]

Context determines meaning in scripture and once again, you have ignore it.

In Jn.6, Christ states that one ought to live by Him as He lived by the Father, that is spiritual and had nothing to do with eating bread or drinking wine.

In 1Cor.11, we are told to do the Lord's supper in remembrance of Him.

this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.

Commemoration-The act of calling to remembrance by some solemnity, the act of honoring the memory of some person or event by solemn celebration.

The Lord's supper is simply an act of remembering what He did on the Cross, the bread and wine symbolize His body and blood, they have no spiritual value.

[fortheDeclaration]

This is not a game, the word has meaning.

Sure it does and in the usual sense of the word, a Roman Catholic prays to saints and Mary.

And you have statues as well of them, which you claim not to really be idols.

So, it really comes down to what the meaning of 'is' is.

[fortheDeclaration]

It was silverlings.

Thank you for the apology, it was very gracious of you.

[OLD REGGIE]

Ah, but that was not my claim.

You said that they “would not” and I said false. The opposite of that, if you have studied logic, is not that they “would” but rather that they “could.”

It might be wise for you to actually check on what you are saying. Let me help you.

#509 You could go to Mass for 100 years and never hear the entire Bible.

Note I said could. Yes I have taken a few logic courses and I am aware of the difference between "would" and "could".

Are you lying when you put false words in my mouth? When you accused me of making a false statement what are you calling me?

Furthermore, I would like a link to the place where you claim I called you a liar.

OLD REGGIE
So you're making stuff up and trying to pass it off as the words of others, and then when you're called on it, you pretend you were accenting irony.

LOL

397

Once again you demonstrated your poor understanding of grammar and put your foot in your mouth.

Understand this, I don't want, nor will ever accept, one of your phony apologies. Better you think before you run off at the mouth.

[OLD REGGIE]

ROFL!!!!

I expect you'll be challenging the next protestant who draws a distinction between "Christians" and "Catholics", right? Ping me, when you do.

Oh I see! Bad behavior on the part of others excuses you.

[Petronski]

I don't want, nor will ever accept, one of your phony apologies.

The essence of Christian love.

[Petronski]

I don't want, nor will ever accept, one of your phony apologies.

The essence of Christian love.

And the irony of ironies, you falsely claimed I called you a liar.

[Petronski]

I apologize.

I had it wrong. I cannot find the actual post. It does not seem to have been silverlings either. I apologize again.

Perhaps one of you two can accept an apology.

[Petronski]

And you have statues as well of them, which you claim not to really be idols.

It's not a claim. It is a fact.

Catholicism makes very precise use of the language, those who study it must learn this precision.

[Petronski]

Unlike Roman Catholic doctrine, it is based on scripture (1Cor.11).

The words are Scripture, the misinterpretation is Cauvin's.

[Petronski]

I pray that my son-in-law and my daughter and their six children will someday see the same truth, and come into the Catholic Church.

As do I.

[Petronski]

Well, the history of the Roman Catholic Church is filled with those examples of persecution of those who didn't agree with them.

You seem to be saying that justifies falsely accusing "...the Church of complicity with genocidal regimes..."

[IrishCatholic]

I say ye so what? The Pope did something I would do.
That doesn't mean squat. He also was known to kiss airport tarmacs.

Try for a better straw man than that. It makes you look like an Archie Bunker type.
