No. I don’t recall reading those.
I’m willing to look at one.
However, I think this is not an entirely convincing or practical argument.
Demons asserted accurately who Christ was/is.
SOBERING.
Sigh.
I’m not seeing the dove/duck.
The plethera of RC authors Ferraro collected seem to think so . . . while, of course . . . denying it, too.
It’s that 2nd Station of the Stations of the White Hanky thing.
Yes, I would never read the bible myself nor would I ever look up the Greek meaning of the words to see for myself what the bible says. I must needs find me “some store-front charlatan “ to interpret the scripture for me. Perhaps in the future I will find me a Catholic who will tell me, “just read Mary, Mary, Mary into it and you’ll be fine.”
WELL PUT.
I'm really old
Hmmmmmm
Augustine led a wild youth and thankfully, finally settled down to write a lot of great books. The early Augustine was a lot different from the later Augustine. As he matured, so did his faith and the all-encompassing joy he experienced by being a child of the most High God.
Just as ours should.
And we need to rediscover Augustine's peculiar slant – a very Biblical slant – on grace as the free gift of sovereign joy in God that frees us from the bondage of sin. We need to rethink our Reformed soteriology so that every limb and every branch in the tree is coursing with the sap of Augustinian delight. We need to make plain that total depravity is not just badness, but blindness to beauty and deadness to joy; and unconditional election means that the completeness of our joy in Jesus was planned for us before we ever existed; and that limited atonement is the assurance that indestructible joy in God is infallibly secured for us by the blood of the covenant; and irresistible grace is the commitment and power of God's love to make sure we don't hold on to suicidal pleasures, but will set us free by the sovereign power of superior delights; and that the perseverance of the saints is the almighty work of God to keep us, through all affliction and suffering, for an inheritance of pleasures at God's right hand forever..." "...If it is true, as R.C. Sproul says that today "we have not broken free from the Pelagian captivity of the church," then we should pray and preach and write and teach and labor with all our might to break the chain that holds us captive. Sproul says, "We need an Augustine or a Luther to speak to us anew lest the light of God's grace be not only overshadowed but be obliterated in our time." Yes, we do. But we also need tens of thousands of ordinary pastors like you and me, who are ravished with the extraordinary sovereignty of joy in God.
Good stuff, saints! 8~)
I think that was pretty much the argument your church used to try and kill any Christians that refused to submit to it.
YUP.
Well it is ironic that many here want to castigate some others for not believing in the trinity when they technically dont either
See the white thing under the central figure (God the Father)? Looks sort of like a menorah? It's the Holy Ghost as a dove, head down. Descending maybe. To me it was as obvious as the face behind your nose.
I remember those shows.
They were a problem for me because of my handicapped poor understanding of jokes—particularly then.
AMEN! THX THX.
I never suggested any such thing.
I must needs find me “some store-front charlatan “ to interpret the scripture for me.[sic]
Actually, just about any charlatan would be more apt to know the truth than a bigot like Michael Scheifler, since you seem to treat him as some sort of authority on Catholicism.
Perhaps in the future I will find me a Catholic who will tell me, “just read Mary, Mary, Mary into it and you’ll be fine.”
No matter how much the anti-Catholic bigots on Free Republic try to convince you otherwise, devout Catholics fitting this description DO NOT EXIST.
INDEED.
I saw that.
Looks like a clothing decoration, to me.
wmfights, there are some who will insist on continually posting the same misrepresentation though they have been disabused of that many times. It is best to simply ignore them.
Quacketh the duck, NEVERMORE?
