So does my answer mean I won’t see the ‘gotcha’ opinion quote of an Apostle?
THANKS FOR THE GIF
It had nothing to do with me. It had everything to do with the hollow faith of Rome he had practiced his entire life which left him shattered when he faced the end of it.
He did not go gentle into that good night. He raged against the lack of light.
All I did was copy and paste your comments.
If there’s a lie in there, it’s not mine.
Creepy, isn't it?
And they want us to believe they are Christian.
QUITE SO. QUITE SO.
The Truth is there. It's been there all along. One day it WILL be known to everyone. Whether they want to know it, or not. Of this, I am confident. Of the ongoing debate over the Truth, I am also confident it will continue. Until one side gets it.
It’s really pretty pathetic that I am no longer shocked at a Catholic’s callousness.
And if you do the Office of Readings there’s another reading from the Bible. We’re doing 2 Cor right now.
Beats me. Why would one claim to be bridesmaid at three Roman Catholic High Mass weddings? Have you run out of Scripture to deny and false doctrines of men to champion?
Since I've never done either, the question is absurd.
Your part in this discussion is absurd.
Sorry, it's me preaching the Gospel of Christ and opposing your gospel of Calvin and Mohammed. Call it absurd if you like. We Christians have been called worse.
Matthew 5: 1 1 When he saw the crowds, 2 he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 He began to teach them, saying: 3 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, 4 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 5 Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 6 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. 6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 7 for they will be satisfied. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 8 Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, 9 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. 12 10 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Romans 8: 31 8 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? 33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. 34 Who will condemn? It is Christ (Jesus) who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. 35 What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, 9 nor future things, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, 10 nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hello out there all you Calvinist present things. Perhaps you find the Gospel absurd; so be it.
He’s repeating what the Jesuits are taught. And I don’t think Jesuits teach Calvinists. Something about not being in their job description.
No. If that is what you believe, then that is what you believe. We have had discussion on many threads and I find you to be consistent and sincere. No gotchas.
I'm guessing that some got it right away. But I think others were modalists and other Arians, and more didn't trouble their minds about it. They were happy that Jesus is God and that meant SOME kind of identification with the Father and the Spirit, and more than that they didn't need to know.
It's when disagreements arise that councils must be called.
Why should I think that she’s lying about being in three Catholic high mass weddings?
Is there some Catholic law against a non-Catholic being a bridesmaid?
If you claimed to have been a groomsman in a Protestant/Evangelical wedding, I would have no reason to doubt you even if I disagreed with what you were posting.
Mark, you make up things about Calvinists.
Whereas Bible-believing Christians, of which Calvinists are among, simply restate RC beliefs and practices. We don’t embellish or fabricate because we don’t need to.
We simply hold up papist doctrines to the light of Scripture and their errors are revealed for all to see.
All you did was to do deceitful word substitution in quoting me and then sought to dismiss it when you cut and pasted my actual words. I said "Scripture was insufficient". You changed that to say I said the "Word of God" was insufficient. You did not attempt to present it as your interpretation or your belief, you cited me incorrectly and I believe it was deliberate. Anti-Catholics do that a lot.
Had you admitted, with some contrition, that it was an error it would be forgivable. Your transparent attempts to dismiss it in light of the corrections only repeats and compounds it not as an error but as a deliberate lie.
My eyes have been opened to the point where I do not believe what is not true. Call it callous if you will, but if somebody trots out a heartbreaking story about a starving and sick family and the family does not exist, do you call me callous for not reacting with sympathy to an outright fabrication?
I even received communion at one of the weddings from the young priest officiating. The non-Catholics were told to put our heads down as he passed out the wafers. Apparently mine wasn’t low enough because he shoved the wafer in my mouth. I jumped because I hadn’t expected it, but he laughed and whispered that it wouldn’t kill me.
One priest with a sense of humor. (Although I did think “killing me” was a peculiar choice of phrase.)
8~)
Yeah.
God have mercy.
Then what is the quote?
