Thanks for your affirmation of Priceless Biblical truths.

[Quix]

Nega ting hung how de.

Probably not good Chinese but might communicate.

Sounds good.

I sure love the land and the people.

God’s best to you and yours as you love Him and them.

[suzyjaruki]

This is such a good post, Quix. Thank you for the ping.

[Quix]

Not sure that I really get your meaning on the 2nd or 3rd pass.

Just so you’re not likening me to a Kennedy. LOL.

[Quix]

The writing of the Church Fathers is on the CCM (Catholic Cafeteria Menu). The RCC reserves unto itself the right to choose snippets which support their argument and put the remainder on the compost pile.

= =

I’ve long noticed that rather human tendency seemingly carried to the max in that edifice, alright.

[Petronski]

Yet, some are quick to label any description of any RC behaviors or stances in any way displeasing to the RC's as HATE.

You are the only one here being so absolute.

[hosepipe]

[ PET- You(Manfred) seem to be saying that Catholicism is evil and Catholics are wicked people. ]

Now theres a concept to be debated.. Catholicism and Catholics are both people.. as "government" is just people.. People performing tasks..

Only to be eclipsed by what is evil? and what is good?..
You might have stumbled on a base for a good conversation..
Are sheep pens/denominations/clubs/schisms a GOOD THING?..
OR are they evil?...

Jesus did NOT forbid religious "clubs" but are they evil?..
I can argue that they are GOOD.. in the sense that buddism, hinduism, baptist'ism, and catholic'ism are good.. Sheep pens sorting religious proclivities into categories.. HOLDing pens while seeking "God" until you can hear the shepherds voice calling you OUT..

Because all God seekers are seeking God with what they have available to them.. What they are "open" to.. Even what they can "conceive" of as "God".. With some their God is very small.. with others their God is the "man behind the curtain(in OZ).. Yet others are open to "whatever".. What then is evil? and/or good?.. in the persuit of God?.. The seeking of God to know him/her or to debunk to notion of a God..

Could be an active and productive conversation.. but NOT for those afraid of the truth.. as far they can concieve of truth.. For this conversation could threaten a spiritual couch potatos world... and cause "him" get off his lazy ass..

SEE ABOVE...

The practice on these threads is to falsely define some aspect or teaching of the Catholic Church and then mock or critique that false information.

I disagree . . .

However, even IF it WERE so, the RC edifice would merely be reaping what it's sown into the lives of millions of hapless undiscerning RELIGIOUS serfs around the world for many centuries vis a vis the

--RUBBER BIBLE OF THE RC EDIFICE --RUBBER HISTORIES OF THE RC EDIFICE --RUBBER DICTIONARIES OF THE RC EDIFICE . . .

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism. -Karl Marx

Rather reminds me fairly vividly of the RC's hereon.

. . . paraphrased . . .

Spiritual 'truth' is the absence of opposition to the fantasies of Romanism.

[Petronski]

Jesus did NOT forbid religious "clubs"

If you mean Churches, not only did he not forbid them, he founded one: The Catholic Church.

[ Spiritual 'truth' is the absence of opposition to the fantasies of Romanism. ]

"Romanism", Baptist'ism even Marx'ism are indeed sheep pens.. holding tanks until they "sober up"... Religion is indeed the opiate(booze) of the people.. People can get "drunk" on denominational "spirits".. Some are mildly intoxicated yet others are falling down gaw gaw.. Name your poison there are some that are intoxicated with it..

John chapter 10 holds "a truth" that can expose not only the intoxicated but the enablers too.. Not to speak of the sellers of the intoxicating "spirits".. Because they ARE being SOLD... A veritable liqour store of intoxicating spirits on this planet..

I referred to this thread as a game that Protestants could not win when self-appointed thread attack nannies were in charge. No one else calls what goes on here, a game, other than the nannies.

= =

Plenty true.

Though I do acknowledge that there are many gamey aspects of many exchanges hereon. LOL.

[Quix]

Well you can’t blame them, most are in heretical offshoots of the RC church... so they have been taught hatred of the church throughout their lives.

---

I think the most fitting response would be Petronski’s favorite verse . . .

EX 20:19

In other words—false on both counts.

The Protty congregations I’ve been a part of are LESS heretical than the RC edifice and I wasn’t taught hatred.

[Quix]

Hardly strawmen.

Centuries of evidence has accrued . . . evidence which most RC’s seem genetically blind to.

Then we have the very brazenly vivid demonstrations, pontifications, protestations and BEHAVIORS of many RC’ hereon to confirm our perspectives 100’s of times over, if not 1,000’s of times over.

Of course, it takes some visual, aural and mental accuities tuned to the truth frequency to detect such horrific errors . . . which seems to butt up against some chronic deficits of many RC’s.

[Quix]

HOGWASH.

more evident violation of Ex 20:19 on the part of the RC perspective.

It’s not been true about me. It is not true about me.

Reads like another RC fantasy to facilitate continued idolatrous comfort with a long list of such fantasies.

[Petronski]

Personal attacks are not permitted.

[Quix]

No, no, no.

Wrong body function.

It’s my flying fingers that fling fountains of technicolor truth.

[Quix]

Well if he’s likely to vomit, there’s probably a reason

= = =

INDEED!

Probably those 100’s of soiled Earth-Mother hankies some RC’s try so hard to force down my throat.
