bbbbbuuuuuutttttt

It’s alllllllllll sooooooooooooooooooooo

saintly. Just ask them!

Besides, think of all the store of white hankys they’re piling up to their credit.

Though I suspect, no matter how big the pile, the white hankys will likely burn quite rapidly in hell.

Sigh.

Good to see you posting again.

It’s been slightly interesting.

Exodus 25:11-21 - the ark of the Old Covenant was made of the purest gold for God’s Word. Mary is the ark of the New Covenant and is the purest vessel for the Word of God made flesh.

Mary is not the ark of the covenant, nor is she a type of the ark of the covenant...

You guys claimed there are over 2000 'implicit' verses in scripture that point to your religion...You guys invented the immaculate conception and think you found a way to justify it in the scriptures...

I'd like to see some of these 2000 verses that would point someone to your religion in 200 AD for example...

INDEED.

AND

CONQUEST BY

DENIAL AND POWER-MONGERING, THREATS AND WHINING AND WAILING AT OLYMPIC CLASS LEVELS.

Sheesh. What an embarrassment to sensible people.

[Quix]

Yeah.

There’s a little miniature version of

Lawrence Welk hiding in their big sleeves . . .

And he goes

“And a one anna two . . . “

And then after the magical moment, he says

“Wunnnerful, wunnnerful!”

And everyone smiles happily ever after.

sorta.

BTW, I’ve tried to find a page with HEXEDECIMAL CODES AND COLORS THAT WOULD PRINT THE COLORS. Can’t find such yet. If anyone knows of such, please let me know—THAT IS—OF THOSE THAT WOULD WORK AS LISTED AND COLORED!!!

NO PROMISES :-)

I can't think of any other Word of God that more clearly destroys the whole concept of the Roman edifice than this:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

That
your
faith
should not stand
in the wisdom
of men,
but
in
the power of God. .

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The Catholic Church does not think there is more than one church. We do not think we are the only church which Jesus founded if that means that we think that there are other churches which he did not found. We think he founded one Church and all the baptized are members of it AND that the 'fullness' of that Church is found among those in communion with the Holy See.

The RCC thinks a lot of things.

The RCC anathematizes (damns to hell) all Protestants who believe in the assurance of their salvation by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ according to God's grace through faith in His Son.

However, the RCC teaches that muslims are saved because they say they believe in the God of Abraham and thus muslims and RCs worship the same God.

Apparently when a Protestant says he believes in the God of Abraham, Rome doesn't buy it. But Rome does believe a muslim who says he worships the God of Abraham, a god who teaches muslims to kill Christians and deny Christ.

Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do.

Which is pretty pure Nestorianism.

What's with this Nestorianism junk??? All ANYONE knows about the nature of God in the Trinity is what is revealed in scripture...And God didn't reveal much...

Your religion condemns a group of people for believing something that your religion has no more of a clue about than anyone else...

Mary is not the mother of God since God was not conceived in Mary's womb...

The fine details of the Trinity are not revealed and are thus insignificant to the salvation of the believer, UNLESS, a religion wants to elevate the Mother of Jesus to to a position of Deity...

From what I see, you religion is practically void of the knowledge of the Holy Spirit residing and working within the body of a believer

Your focus as opposed to the Nestorians, anyone else and the scriptures is turned to Mary, not the Trinity...

With the Nestorian view, you can't have a queen of heaven...

[presently no screen name]

the 'fullness' of that Church is found among those in communion with the Holy See.

As opposed to being in communion with`Our All KNOWING,
All SEEING God. Of course HIS Church is.

The RCC's heresy is deep deep deep!

[Natural Law]

"I think a lot comes from retired priests and young seminarians, neither who has anything better to do than "swamp the internet" with lies and RC propaganda."

More empty and unsubstantiated opinions whose observed intentions are not to educate or debate, but to debase and impugn. All any objective observer need do is consider the source to determine their lack of truthfulness.

just because a catholic faithfully attends Mass and various rituals, loyal to the church etc. does not mean they live as a Christian or knows the Lord.

just because a non-catholic faithfully attends church and various rituals, loyal to the church etc. does not mean they live as a Christian or knows the Lord.

Is that Mary sitting on the Mercy Seat??? Pure Paganism

"He didn’t convert."

Your bogus claims have been thoroughly refuted with documented evidence frequently over the last several days on this thread. All you have is interpretations of selected interviews as proof. In contrast there is ample documentation and eyewitness evidence of his conversion. That is why you are not believed on this by anyone other than those anti-Catholics birds of a feather who also need no evidence to reach a conclusion.

I will concede this; Wayne's life as a sinner was done as a Presbyterian. His salvation and death was done as a Catholic. There is still hope for you.

What's with this Nestorianism junk?

Look at the rest of your post and you can see it.

Does you church say the Nicene creed?

[Natural Law]

"And Rome denies the Holy Spirit since it believes the Holy Spirit is given to the magisterium and thus to be dispersed through sacraments by the magisterium to the people."

What a cynical misinterpretation of Catholic dogma. I believe it was intentional.

Either demonstrate where the Catholic Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is dispensed like some kind of commodity and not one of the three persons of the Trinity or be prepared to endure further scrutiny of the lie.
