In Christ Alone lyrics
Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;
In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save
?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
I'll let you guess the Protestant origins of the cartoon you posted.
I understand that rewriting history is a common endeavor within the Vatican.
BTW - Have you prayed to Mary today?
INDEED.
Except . . . that was before it was . . . which was before it wasn’t . . . which was before it was . . .

What A GREAT example of the lie at the heart of Rome.
NOTHING in this life is "infallible" but Jesus Christ.
No church. No believer. No false bishop of Rome. Nothing. Infallibility is not part of the human condition.
While Christians are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, still our sin nature exists within us.
God willing, as we are sanctified we learn to loath our sins and desire to obey God more every day. But as Paul reminds us, if we say we have no sin the truth is not in us.
However this lie from Rome is a great illustration of the deep and pervasive hubris and rampant idolizing of the creature which permeate Rome and its corrupted belief system.
INDEED. WELL PUT.
THX.
If they’re infallible in matters of belief, then I guess the Inquisition was all part of God’s plan for His church after all, wasn’t it?
(According to Catholic reasoning, that would be)
I would not use the word "compel" ... it does not say do this to be saved or as a part of your salvation.. This letter is written to the SAVED ..the church
But lets look at it
Rom 12:20 — Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
In the OT burning coals were about vengeance and damnation ...
Psa 140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah Psa 140:9 [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Psa 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
...but here we have a NT response to our enemies.. Paul is restating the teachings of Christ....
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:< for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
To Catholics everything is about the LAW LAW LAW..DO DO DO..My friend
Christ DID IT
I’m mot doing your work for you.
You made the statements. The onus is on you to back them up.
Kind of FRSOP.

Fumble fingers strikes again....
the Roman Catholic crazy train ran off the tracks a long time ago
oh yippee! they can wash their hands of it, just like in Jesus' situation
The scriptures either save or damn, it depends on the ears of the hearer.. Giving the gospel is always an act of obedience and love.. When heard by a sinner of any religion it offends them because it is pointed right at the moral and intellectual pride of men.. it says YOU can do nothing to commend yourself to God ... salvation is not about YOUR goodness or holiness or obedience it is about HIS
A "pharisaical expression" would look more like..follow these traditions, keep these laws... Do Do Do
The gospel is so simple men reject it.. repent and trust Christ..
Talibantics
"Are we there yet? The Catholic Church claims to be about 2,000 years old now. If this is an example of *purification* one can only imagine what it was like in its heyday....

Thx for your pings and well put posts.
well they burned my spanish jewish relatives back in spain which is why they fled to the US and hid out in the mountains. Try it again and see where it gets them
You are now Catholic?
Were the Jews slaughtered by the Inquisition part of the church in Rome?
Were the Protestant Huguenots slaughtered by the Inquisition part of the church in Rome?
"...The principal accusation against those who are subject to this tribunal is heresy, which comprises all that is spoken, or written, against any of the articles of the creed, or the traditions of the Roman Church. The inquisition likewise takes cognizance of such as are accused of being magicians, and of such who read the Bible in the common language, the Talmud of the Jews, or the Alcoran of the Mahometans..."
So according to Rome, heretics who were to be tortured and slaughtered included all those who "read the Bible in the common language and who read the Talmud."
As a matter of fact I did begin the day by praying a Rosary. I do that often when I run.
Selective perception
and
Selective memory
. . . sound like new Stations of the Station of the White Hanky, to me.
yes, it starts out with the Catholic church torturing its own,(why they even think they have that right is mind-boggling) then the blood lust grows and pretty soon, just like Obama, everybody is the heretical enemy, especially anybody trying to stop them. What is unbelievable are the posts here, simply incredible. These people who think it’s ok to torture their fellow church goers and citizens are what? pathological? insane? evil? I dont know, but it’s a scary thing, wow. And, *doing it for God*
