Where do you get the idea we’re raised to hate Catholics? Not true. When I was born again, I knew there were differences in our theology but until I got on here, I never realized how much difference there really is. My folks never sat me down and told me all about those wicked Catholics. It would probably be more the other way around, the Catholics didn’t want anything to do with protestants.
Well, I’m shoving off. Things to do, places to go, money to spend! (I’m shopping for a riding mower. Hope to have one here by Saturday, the side lawn is getting LONG, and I just get exhausted pushing that mower over this acre of lawn.)
Maybe some of the Catholics are as well, Judith Anne.
I grew up Protestant and I was taught that Catholics worship Mary and idols, yeah, same ole, same ole.
Our next door nieghbors were Catholic and when their father came home every evening they rang a bell and everyone went running for prayers no matter what they were doing and if you were there you were expected to join them. After I became a Catholic and looked back I feel the HS was working in my life, pulling me to the Church even back then.
The Catholic church is NOT the church founded by Jesus Christ. Sorry. Wrongggggg. The entire Body of Christ who follow Him and are committed to Him -— THAT is the one true church.
Well, BOF, we’re all praying for yours as well...LOL.
There's no question that some on our side give as well as they get.
But if you're saying there is no collaboration among some on your side to make posts designed NOT to tell the truth, to put forward real arguments in a real quest for the truth, but to irritate, I won't believe you.
In the face of the tired old
rubber histories
rubber Bibles
rubber logic
rubber calendars
we are obligated in behalf of the lurkers to keep responding with the truth . . . which is rather unchanging.
Oh, really? Well, dear JA, we have it too. Sorry.
During our mass, we recieve Jesus' real flesh and blood, presented under the appearances of bread and wine. Joh 6:53-55. This was also prophecized in Malachi 1-11, "From the rising of the sun, even to its setting. . . they bring sacrifice to my name and a pure offerring. Earthly bread nourishes our bodies, Jesus, nourishes our souls.
We honor the saints who served our Savior. There is nothing wrong with that. We have a rich tradition and God encouraged that, why wouldn't you? "Stand firm and hold fast to traditions that you were taught, either by oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessalonians 2:15
You said: The Catholic church is NOT the church founded by Jesus Christ.
Yes it is. Scripture and history verify that.
I see the nature of such comments has not changed markedly.
You keep saying that, and yet I don’t recall your making an actual argument to support your thought.
Sorry, my sweet Judith Anne, Quix has already found Jesus and guess what? WITHOUT MARY’S HELP. Hallelujah.
I don’t know of any Prottys hereon the least bit attacking
The Church Universal founded by Jesus The Christ.
Amen!
You said: we are obligated in behalf of the lurkers to keep responding with the truth . . . which is rather unchanging.
*snicker*...you can’t be referring to the unbroken chain of chaos called protestant exegesis can you?
Try the Holy Spirit. He’s available for all who ask...
There is no phoniness, They really don’t see what they don’t want to see.

I have to pinch myself and remind myself that the subject of the above is not some RC’s hereon.
