Children and most often children who are ill, have a relationship with God that most of us would envy. He seems to reach out to them in a special way. I’ve known others like this little one. It’s precious to watch. I believe they see Jesus when they die.

Yeah, I’ve never seen anything that the HS said about Mary or anything else for that matter. He inspired the writers of the gospel and not much was said about Mary, certainly not anyone calling her Alma Mater.

So DeMontfort must have been inspired.

THANK GOD ALL WE CAN POINT TO IS SCRIPTURE. IT IS ALL WE NEED.

Where does the Scripture say that?

No, you don't have to think that, unless you're trying to find excuses for sola scriptura worship of a "piece of wood."

They why does the RCC do it's best to destroy the gospel?

I have been forgetting to ask this question directly:

Do all participants at a Mass get to “drink His Blood?”

In April I was in a Manila hotel and I viewed a televised Mass on the Catholic channel. It appeared that the people in line all got a wafer delicately placed on their tongue, but I saw nobody in line get a sip of anything.

Then you could see some of those people returning to their seats and rinsing it down from their own 8 ounce water bottles.

What is that kind of Mass?

I hope your salvation doesn’t depend on that, LOL.

Oh, yes, very serious. That’s one of the big problems.

Calm, very calm.

heh heh heh

Also hot, humid, sticky, and waiting for my new cell-phone to get charged so I can leave and go to church and get my new howitzer-sized, 20 decade with bling medals of St. Joe, St. Tony, St. Dymphna, St Gabe, and St. Dom AND one each Medal, Miraculous, blessing for the purpose of Rosary blessed and then pray for some folks. (I made some commitments for some people.)

Did I mention that earlier this week I did some original research, inadvertently, and confirmed what had been a hypothesis: leaving your cell phone in your pants and then washing th pants isn't really good for the cell phone. I'm just so glad I could lay this controversy to rest. I live to serve, y'know, and to advance knowledge.

Well, yeah, and to laugh.

And you? Since the new battery is slow, I'll just wait here for you .....

Is that really how little you think of the bible?

We know the truth and we want you to know it, too.

If you knew the truth we wouldn't get word games every time we point out the deficiencies of sola scriptura.

Anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian and follows the teachings of Christ, HATES abortion, gay marriage and the like.

Then perhaps you might want to rethink your antipathy towards Catholicism.

As you may or may not be aware, acceptance of abortion and/or homosexual marriage is rampant among mainline Protestantism.

Why do you think this is? Is the Holy Spirit incorrectly inspiring them? Has YOPIOS failed?

How do you know that your particular denomination won't be next? I'm quite sure that a generation ago Methodists never dreamed that their denomination would sanction abortion, Episcopalians would not have thought that they would have a homosexual bishop who was talking about "marrying" (yeah, I know it's called a "civil union" but they act like it's marriage) another man.

I don't believe I used any offensive words. The moderator is free, of course, to point out any if I have. I believe that I asked a legitimate question in an appropriate fashion. And I gave my observations from personal on-sight experiences in my six-years in the Philippines. They are observations, followed up by sessions where I asked direct questions to Filipinos — very dear people they are.

By the way, nobody in that Catholic country ever expressed to me directly or to the Filipinos who worked with us that we were ever offensive to them on a personal level. We were chided sometimes for being too direct for their cultural sensitivities, but not personally mean or offensive.

LOL! Great story. You do have a way with words, friend. :)

It's drizzling here, so I am putting off a trip to the grocery store. The dogs are tired of being cooped up for the past couple of days and their incessant whining is driving me over the edge.

Still, feeling pretty good just being alive. :)

Read it and see. It's all over the Word of God. Try psalm 119. Try a concordance and look up some key words about it. Do you even own a bible or a concordance? How much time do you spend reading God's Word everyday?

First you have to practice saying that in a Bela Lugosi accent.

IN the US it's optional usually. When I got a needle stick in the depiddy bidnis, I not only refrained from serious smooching of the boss-lady but also from drinking from a common cup for a year, until I tested clear of HIV and Hep and all that stuff. And if I have a cold or something, I refrain.

And I've heard that people with celiac disease will pass up the bread and go directly to the wine.

mgist, born again Christians are not lost. Please understand that. There ARE protestants who are lost, for sure, but none of them are on these posts. We know the truth and we want you to know it, too. There are many Catholics who are lost as well.

Now that you have opined that ALL Protestants who are posting on the FR Religion Forum are Saved, perhaps you will offer another. In your opinion, are ALL Catholics who are posting on the FR Religion Forum Saved? A simple yes or no will be sufficient.
