Intended Catholic Dictatorship

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Catholicism has remained the majority religion of Switzerland for 1200 years, even thorugh the black years of Calvin.

What a great example of papists making up fiction to "prove" their prejudice.

Protestantism was the majority religion in Switzerland from the Reformation until after the Second World War when Italian, Spanish and Portuguese immigrants tipped the balance away from the truth towards Rome.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your reading comprehension is faulty. Thank God for the written word.

Study to show yourself approved.

Or maybe they don't understand the words of Christ to know the answer.

I think that is is

[RnMomof7]

Read the bible

[RnMomof7]

No, Catholics hate (or at least we’re supposed to hate) the way the doctrines taught by St. Paul are twisted and used against their purpose. So yes, sometimes he’s a pain in the backside because people bend his teaching into every conceivable shape... St. Peter warned about that, and it wasn’t an idle warning having no basis in reality.

Peter called Pauls writings SCRIPTURE. So Without twisting please show us where Jesus or Paul or Peter taught the role of Christ was only to open heaven so we can earn or work get in.

Please use only Paul, Jesus or Peter in context

Thanks

Spoke in miracles? That’s a whole new one.

[RnMomof7]

You said you were an agnostic..

The church has always read that Scripture as prophecy, only agnostics dont

[RnMomof7]

At last! You acknowledge Mary as the Mother of God!

I have never denied that Mary was the mother of Christ

[RnMomof7]

It realy gripes me when the reformed think they are our instructors, that they can examine our inmost beliefs at will simply by demand. I wonder if they think they can give us all tests? It makes me wonder who they think they are. Certainly not examples of Christ’s healing Love.

Only the natural man is insulted when asked about the work of Christ.. I asked her what she meant in her post.
Are you ashamed or offended by the gospel ,or is it that you do not have an answer? I asked her not you BTW

I believe that according to double-predestination, the only thing required for salvation is to be born lucky.

Or is there something else one must “do”.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

anyone can see how much you need the intercession of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

How could the intercession of a dead unbeliever help anyone? She certainly didn't help herself by not believing in Christ or God.

Unless Teresa received faith in Christ before she died, she's in no position to help anyone or herself.

It would indeed be a miracle to see any Calvinist display any humility.

What is more humble? To believe, as RCs believe, their own good works and righteousness save them, or to believe, as Protestants believe, that Christ's good work and Christ's righteousness save them?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Lol

[RnMomof7]

You are a self confessed agnostic.. We would call agnostics tares in the Gods field, waiting to be pulled up and burned ...

What you know or believe you know has not even convinced you..there is no reason to even read what you write if you can not convince yourself.. Only the lost can take it seriously

[D-fendr]

It’s not very humble to believe, as Calvinists believe, their own birth has saved them no matter what they do, think or say or how they act towards others.

"What was the purpose of Jesus speaking in parables?"

I have a complete and true answer, but I know it will be dismissed out of hand before it is even read and frankly, I just don't want to argue about it with dimwits and liars.

Simple answer: Put your reply in writing and stop talking to yourself.

Lastly, Old Reggie has ducked, dodged and obfuscated every question posed to him and I don't feel anymore compelled than he to answer anything.

Completely untrue, a lie, a deliberate lie, dishonest, but not unexpected. Carry on!

[RnMomof7]

Besides, what does faith have to do with the Greek meaning of heresy? That is a linguistic topic and if you know any biblical Greek you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself this way.

1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

"The Gospels are Old Testament."
Not in my Bible or any Bible I have ever seen. I'll bet they are listed in the index of your Bible as New Testament forming the foundation of the New and Everlasting Covenant too. Are we supposed to just pretend that the Gospels are just some sort of contextual footnote or reference to support Paulican dogma instead of occupying the apex of biblical hierarchy and containing the actual Words of Christ?

That is a theological principle.. But if you do not believe me, when did Jesus say He was going to institute a New testament?

[OLD REGGIE]

You continue to defame a dead woman, who gave her life to Christ, on a mission for decades to the poorest of the poor. As you sow, so shall you reap (Christ said that).

Just out of curiosity, do you believe Albert Schweitzer is worthy of Sainthood?

[D-fendr]

Alas, an accident of birth has separated us from the Gnostic Reformed®.

[RnMomof7]

No, Catholics revere and venerate St. Paul for what he was, but we do not recognize as the neo-Christ or THE "Alter Christus" as the Paulicans do.

You are right he is not an " Alter Christus" like the Catholic priests and pope.. He was only ordained by God to be the catechist of the NT church not another Christ
