Catholics seem to have some real serious control issues.
Great nominee for understatement of the century.
Witness the demand for an apology for something I didn’t do coupled with the refusal to apologize for something very UnChristian that the !!!!DEMANDER!!!! DID DO!
Talk about !!!!CONTROL!!!! freaqueism! Sheesh.
How is all Proddys or Evangelicals worshipping Jesus of
Bethlehem, Nazareth and the Right Hand of The Father
worshipping some’thing’ different???
Oh, I get it . . . just because RC’s worship myriad saints, Mary, THE INSTITUTION, the dogma, the rituals, the icons, the statues, . . . etc. etc. etc. yada yada yada
y’all must automatically think that we Proddys have to be worshipping each a different ET named Jesus????
Wow . . . I didn’t realize that RC fantasies and idiocies could reach such a low!
Possibly the thinnest on the RF.
It just seems exceedingly fitting for you to be called to account to your own tyrannical standards.
And you're just the poster to do it, along with your ping list, right?
I’m merely repeatedly asking you to apologize for something quite UnChristian that you did do—accused me of something I did NOT do.
And I asked you first to apologize for backing a poster with a hate speech posting - whereafter she apologised and you didn't.
I think the hypocrisy is quite illustrative and worth some multiple opportunities for lurkers to learn of such character qualities by the frequent RC posters hereon.
I'm sure that most lurkers have already made up their mind about me. Interestingly enough, I've had support from people that I've never noticed before. Most of them not Catholics, by the way. For which I am grateful.
Besides, I think it’s one of the more loving things to do to give folks a repeated opportunity to apologize when fitting.
Do you believe and feel it too?
Not ALL Protestants, of course not. The ET worshippers appear to be in the minority.
Do you believe everything exactly the same as Lutherans (WHICH Lutherans?), Presbyterians (WHICH Presbyterians?) Baptists (Which Baptists?) and Pentecostals (WHICH Pentecostals?).
I honestly did not know that everything you [all] believe is knowable, because you [all] disagree on the Bible interpretations.
Most who leave or have discomfort about rarely speak out...goes with the oath-taking...which instills fears for some....others just laugh it off...but if one is a Christian the rituals are a direct affront to Christ... so there is a heightened sensitivity as they enter these rituals and attempt to go thru them.
But as far as the apostles are concerned there is zilch. If you can find factual extra-biblical, extra-Christian mention of any of them I would be much obliged if you shared them with all.
If you're not going to accept the veracity Scripture on its own merit as Scripture, then what's the point of going after non-Scriptural sources? At best, they'd be no more reliable than the books of the Bible. At worst, much less reliable.
Seems that you have it backwards if you're looking for non-Biblical sources to verify Scripture.
Interesting the change in your wording.
19. Icon to the haughty tyrannical !!!!DEMAND!!!! for an apology for imagined wrongs that never happened.
Masons oaths are nasty business...any who are thinking of joining should turn away from the idea of that as far as I’m concerned.
I presumed that you'd understand what I was referring to. I guess I gave you too much credit for that.
2 Corinthians 11:3-5 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles."
Galatians 1:6-9 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Lest any of the lurkers think that only Protestants have clown *worship*, here are some links to *catholic clown mass*, which does indeed make a mockery of the crucifixion.
If the Eucharist is to be taken so seriously, this is an outrage and the predictable Catholic response is to ignore what makes the RCC look bad and focus all the attention on others with the *they do it too, only worse* tactic, which isn’t always the case.

Just because you haven't seen one (or remember one) doesn't mean it hasn't or won't happen. Maybe you just aren't looking for it.
So smvoice’s (I think that’s who it was, if I’ve got it wrong WOW am I sorry) assertion that Peter’s Gospel was different than Paul’s Gospel is... what, something you agree with or disagree with?
Agreed. When I was away from the Church, I became a 32nd degree Scottish rite Freemason. When I came back to the Church, I quit the Masons. A saint of a pastor gently guided me in the ways of the Faith.
Word it however you want. Are you going to man up and follow the good lady’s lead? She apologized; you defended her and didn’t apologize because it was just another anti Catholic attack and you wanted to be on board.
So this is what’s it’s all about? Do you have something ocnstructive to post or just have too much time to play games? If it’s the latter, thank you for your unsolicited input. Over and out.
I posted my revulsion to the Catholic clown masses. I just objected to Lutheran worship services (including that damnable large tortilla chip or whatever it was) being used to show purported Catholic clown masses. I'll say it again if you'd like - please try to imagine the appropriate gagging noises.
Archaeological evidence disputes Biblical evidence of Egyptian exile and Exodus, and for that matter most of Biblical history. Lack of evidence does not permit assuming a biased story is true. It doesn't have to be false, but cannot be treated as true, therefore questionable.
Accusing a Freeper of dishonesty is an ad hominem.
You're kidding right? I sit in waning hope that some Protestant will jump in and clean up messes because I know as soon as I pipe up ears, eyes, minds and hearts will shut simply because I'm a Catholic.
I sat here praying someone would address the Trinitarian/Incarnation confusion because I knew my stuff was just bouncing off the walls... it didn't happen. I reached the conclusion that trinitarian "heresy" just doesn't matter among American Protestants anymore because apparently as long as someone has a fuzzy belief that Jesus is the Son of God and doesn't approach Mormonism on the one side or Oneness Pentecostalism on the other then nothing matters. Although I think there are some Oneness people around who never get called on it by the "usual suspects" either.
I really believe that if I were to compile a list of the ancient heresies as formulated by the heresiarchs themselves and said "ok now, who adheres to any of these" people would come out of the woodwork to claim their particular peculiar beliefs, stare at each other and say nothing. But if I added "oh, and who here believes it is right to call Mary the Mother of God" all hell would break loose.
"Weird" beliefs don't matter around "here" as long as those weird beliefs don't smell of Catholicism.
