John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Someday Narses...the Lord will show you you were preaching to yourself...in the dark.

Catholics don’t believe in Denominations...that’s another reason not to post my affiliation.

Enough you know that I believe Christ died for me...that He arose from the dead and sits at the right hand of God my Father making intercession on my behalf....not to mention the relationship we share together...that as well is personal.

Hi caww -

Thanks — everyone here refuting the heresy is hitting homeruns — Dr. E, Iscool, Quix, you, many others; thanks for contending for the Faith.

Backed against a wall? Apparently so. Kinda like Randy falling down all the time in a Christmas Story — must be her only defense. :)

Since narses intended to school me on logic (since apparently I have issues with it and the English language), I was expecting to get schooled. Turns out all I was able to get was “ROFLMAO.” That, eventually, will have to hurt. ;)

“Backed against a wall?”

ROTFLMAO!

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

that if the scripture cannot speak to them, and those here who have time and again proven the truth, how can they have any hope?

You have the same thoughts I did when I first came here and I don't see any hope

Now if I can see this and they can't it just proves they are fully entrenched and only Gods Spirit can open their eyes.

I said the same as you. We know the Holy Spirit does His job, so it is done already. But we also know He is rejected.

but they don't want the truth...so why do we keep on putting "pearls before swine" here?

They don't want IT, that is evident. Possibly for others to know HIS Word. It doesn't take one long to see the stark difference between His Church based on God's Word alone and The RCC with it's man made teachings with these posts.

Nothing real to add yet?

“Now you know we do not post our church affiliations for security issues.”

Really? So Lutherans are a security risk? How is answering a question of the denomination a “security risk”?

Well, until you can stop posting the same lame graphic, and the same prayer to Mary, it appears that you have nothing to add. So, it’s reasonable to believe you’re backed up against a wall.

“{{{CRICKETS}}}”
“ROFLMAO!”

Deep. Very, very deep. Makes me really question my position. I might even come to believe what you’re saying about Mariolatry is true and I’m all wrong...

By the way — that was sarcasm.

:D

You did more than fine and nice to see you post...

Not easy contending for the faith when the walls are thick and defenses high. The enemy of mens souls never lets lose easily...not that he cares too hoots about the catholics he has bound...his intentions are always to attack our Father thru them. Unfortunately the souls of men are what lays in the balance at most, and or many lost blessings at the least.

You should post more often...really nice to see other voices of the faith here.

Wonderfully put — it’s a great question, “pearls before swine” though. But having this information out for all to see is the point. God is sovereign and almighty — we can only pray (to Him) that he will soften their hearts of stone.

Now we have cartoon posts...

How about we change the subject to the celebration of His Birth soon to be here. It really was the most amazing event in History...and yet such a humble and profoundly amazing entrance He made into this world. Will be quite another story when He returns!
