I guess I do not understand the distinction between their decision to leave the catholic church and say mine..

They left, turned their backs on God and proceeded to commit mass murder...you didn't.

Law in the New Testament seems to refer always to the The Law of Moses. Paul’s main point is that one does not have to BE a Jew and to follow the prescriptions of the Law, to be a Christian.

If you have a point, you’re not proving it.

Correct- Jesus is the HEAD of His Church!

He is The HEAD of His Church, it's built on Who HE is, the Rock of our Salvation - THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. - built on Who He is.

JESUS IS THE WORD...No arguments there

And His Church is built on Who He is - THE WORD.

While I disagree with non-Catholics on many things, that does not mean that I should insult their beliefs.I would not consider that very Christlike.

Since their beliefs are based on God's Word alone - it's wise not to attack it, or do so at your own peril. However, nothing changes, The Word doesn't change nor do their beliefs.

I would not consider that very Christlike.

I agree, it wouldn't be, it would be anti-Christ.

After all, that second commandment was to "love your neighbor".

#1 Commandment is ALL about God, who Is The Word. How many submit to man made teachings against God's Word and then come off holier than thou?

Matt 15: 8,9 "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in VAIN; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

Neither Lenin nor Stalin was Catholic. Stalin, of course, was in an orthodox seminary at one point, and was baptised, as I suppose Lenin was also. All three men were apostate Christians, as was Marx. In otrher words, all belonged to the Church of Judas.

As a Catholic I believe that I receive sanctifying grace through the sacraments. The grace is also strengthened and brought to light be the hearing of His Word and by obeying it. Part of obeying it includes doing as Christ commanded in the Scripture cited.

So you have to DO something in order to get the grace that then motivates good works.. So a work of man motivates God to give grace that then motivates good work..

What is grace? Where is it stored? Can you use it up, so that you need to replenish it?

And you not liking my answer about the Gospel is not the same as not answering you. Your own private interpretation is so far from historic Christianity I don’t even recognize it.

Actually you still have not told me what the gospel Christ preached was.. and the one I hold is the same one taught by the apostles.. so I suspect my understanding is more "historic" than your..(if i ever do hear it :)

The buck never seems to stop at the Vatican door. The “true church” that holds the keys to the kingdom and hell cannot prevail against hides like a momma’s boy when things get tough. The whole armor of God does NOT include Depends.

So were they still catholics until they committed mass murder?

Wag what does the word anathema mean ?

I think that before anyone does anything “indelible” to another person they should be certain that the person is old enough to have the agency to accept it or reject it.

I most certainly agree :)

Give us the false pastors who lead your group to perdition, come to Christ.

Why? The Catholic church's track record with those it considers heretics is nothing I would inflict on anyone.

I would not deliver anyone into the hands of the Catholic church.

We don't need *Inquisition II*.

dabble isn't the descriptor I would have chosen for you either.

God chose me, don't overstep your bounds.

"For God chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight".

They may have been until their hearts turned evil, which I assume preceded the murders.

An anathema is far beyond excommunication, it means that something is totally separate and accursed.

Salvation, Salvation, Salvation. He preached it and He is it. He proclaimed the Kingdom of God was at hand. He ransoms us. He redeems us. He restores us. He draws back the veil. He makes us new creatures. He died on the Cross so that we may be with Him in Glory.
He is the Truth that all truths must be measured against. He is the good news of God’s love. All things were made for Him so that the very skies can proclaim His greatness.
He is my Lord, my Savior and my King.

I agree, unfortunately this is not exactly Catholic teaching.. (BTW he actually rent the veil so that we can now come boldly to the throne of God seeking grace and MERCY ..no need for an intermediary ..no need for a priest or a saint or Mary..)

What does it mean to you that Christ is the propitiation for our sin?

The RCC may keep dead members on ‘their list’ - like the liberals do for voting purposes.

Wag , one of the reasons I really like you is you are HONEST ..LOL

Do you know how often Catholics will say that it meant excommunication?? Almost always.. BTW I am in that anathema from trent, but it does not bother me a bit..:)

That is Catholic teaching. Don’t have time to answer your question right now. But promise to get back to it.

The Catholics are like the evos. Secret little boys club definitions of everything so they can control the discussion and always tell everyone else that they are wrong and they are so ignorant and why don’t they get an education so they know what they’re talking about, and can you believe those ignurint outsiders..... /roll eyes, snicker, high-five each other.....

This is so good I just wanted to see it posted again.

We need an encyclical on the difference between former and lapsed.

That might be helpful

written from my holy water tub

is it a living water spa tub? or a dead sea tub?

Do you know what makes holy water holy?

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength" is part of the Law too.

Has any man (other than Christ) kept THAT law?
