Imagine the iterations!

No wonder the Vatican system is like Alice’s Rabbit Hole’s hall of reverberating mirrors.

yes I know it's not a new concept. It's just even more insane and insidious when it is posted in clear language.It's no wonder Catholics think so highly of themselves. And think God is impressed.

THAT’S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INCREDIBLE!

And some folks think that those of us who realize UFO’s are part of the END TIMES scenarios

are the ones considered off the wall!

INCREDIBLE.

That’s certainly a sobering Scripture, too little appreciated, I think.

Do you really want to talk about the ECF’s ? I would be cautious in having faith in their words if I was catholic..1) their work is not infallible..2) they often disagreed with each other..3) they sometimes had heresies in their writing

They often agree more with Protestant doctrine than Catholic ...

The only way one can come away assured in Roman doctrine from them is if one reads the “official” Roman rendering where they have picked the words to support their doctrine ... read them from their original sources RB, not Roman web sites

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.

And the RC’s accuse Proddys of cherry picking Scripture!

Oh, right, THE DOUBLE STANDARD STATION OF THE WHITE HANKY strikes again.

PRAISE GOD!

Some of the biggest struggles of my Christian life and that of many in our congregation,

has been learning to lay aside a works’ oriented RELIGION mentality and ACCEPT GOD’S GRACE THROUGH CHRIST BY FAITH CONFIDENTLY CONFIDENTLY.

"you SEEM to be saying that..."

No, I am actually saying that without a conscious effort to study and learn the Catechism a chimp with a bong and Ouija board can better your interpretations.

I shouldn't be surprised that one who demonstrates a lack of being able to assemble or read a coherent posting would have trouble with something as sophisticated as the Catechism and Scripture, but I am.

The Catechism is tedious. It's not that difficult--unless one is trying to pretend that it makes a coherent, logical, consistent, Biblical theology. That would be quite the mental gymnastics!

Actually, were I a rabid clique RC hereon, I'd think the idea that Quix was loose with a copy of the Catechism would be a frightful thought.

LOL!

Thank you

It's Christ alone.

Amen

It's such a shame so many refuse to see this truth. Those that understand this truth can go to a variety of different Bible centered Christian churches and feel comfortable. Those that don't understand this truth can't.

Yhis is what MarySecretary used to say about her ex-RC husband. He never knew what peace there was to be had in this life until he left Rome and became a lively stone who rested in Christ's sacrifice alone on his behalf.

Miss her already, look forward to seeing her in glory.

"I never knew...and then I did. Thank God."

Amen, Amen, Amen. I say a thousand times Amen!
