You speak of love for me (?) in one breath and speak the foulest insults about my faith in the next.
It smells feels and tastes fake.
I’ve got montezuma’s revenge right now so forgive me if I don’t spell it with a capital C.
Oh, good. I have good fruit.
Must be they had the cold up here. Brrr. Can’t blame them. My grandson lives in Calhoun, GA.
AH, so that’s it. Thank you for letting me know...smile.
No, I figure he’s been resurrected and no longer needs to be on a cross.
I’m not in the least bit worried about it. Those verses say nothing about my personal salvation, only that not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will get in. God hasn’t brought me this far to shut the door on my face.
That may be, but he WAS crucified. Take Him off that cross.
Jesus was giving a little history lesson here...And, a little bit of prophecy as well...
Luk 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luk 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
If one takes an interest, he/she can find Abel in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Protestant bible...Zacharias will be found in II Chronicles which is the LAST BOOK OF THE JEWISH BIBLE...
Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
And here, Jesus tell us what was between the beginning and end of the OT scriptures...
You see any of your extr biblical Catholic books in there???
Hey, the road goes both ways regarding speaking insults about faith. You’ve gotten your innings in, too, Petronski.
What is true power? Is it to be able to push people around, as a bureaucrat can? Is it to be able to control someone's access to the truth, as LBJ's administration did by concealing the cost of the "war on Poverty" AND the war in Viet Nam? That concealment led to us spending money and lives and losing both wars.
Our Lord showed TRUE power by revealing the truthof Sin and of the Suffering Love of God.
Some protestants see a man on a cross and think, "Weakness."They do not understand (neither do I!) Divine power. They think that God the Son of God on a cross is about weakness.
But True Power, God's power, is so unlike ours that to the unredeemed eye it looks like weakness.
and therefore they reject crucifixes. They don't know power when they see it.
c'mon Petronski...You don't have a bathtub in your front yard, or you don't know any Catholics that do???
So let’s both quit. Whaddya say?
That's it...
Those verses apply to everyone's salvation, including yours.
God hasn’t brought me this far to shut the door on my face.
God doesn't shut the door, but you can, as those verses tell us.
I give up...Tell me...
Pig Latin.
C'mon...All you see is bread and wine...Someone told you it's Jesus...And maybe you believe it...But all you see is bread and wine...
Tovarisch Petronski, did you hear the one about how to tell when Pravda is telling a lie?
It's whenever they begin a sentence with "As everyone knows ..." :-)
Iscool, believe me, the Vulgate didn't come from Africa.
Yes, someone did.
