Now you are reading minds. It seems to be a real problem for some here.
Nice try, but again (as usual): fail.
Hoss
especially when they’re empty
Oh, I understand English all right.
Is that what you think you're posting in?
I'm not wasting my time chasing down posts you should be providing.
If you can't provide an active link, don't waste your time suggesting people look up what YOU'RE trying to prove, cause it ain't happening.
And do yourself a favor....
Go to here.....
And remember, paragraphs are your friends. People might actually read through some of what you wrote if you use them.
excuse me, i provided better than links, i gave you the complete 3 posts in question.
i see you are avoiding #439.
answer the post! (love noob)
EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS.
You are persistently a better Christian than I am.
Thx thx.
My home page is really getting longer and longer—thanks to you! LOL.
But not so strange that you can find it virtually word for word at several different internet sources by doing a simple google search of the entire post.
Honestly, a less creative bunch I have never met.
You'd think that Catholics are trained to not think for themselves, or something.
Of course, thinking back.........
They are inquisitors. They inquis, that’s what they do
Bwahahaha!!!!!
Out of context no less and no surprise.
I am NOT taking your word for it. I've read too many of your posts already to fall for that.
:D
So true.

Retread, more likely.
lololol.
Probably.
While I agree that it makes it interesting, and while I accept that all of these have a single faith, that being Faith in Yeshua and in Scripture (and pretty well, all 5 solas), it is where they are discontinuous that is remarkable:
To a degree, it is a matter of focus - There is no doubt that Pentecostals have a different focus (or perhaps approach is a better word) than your average Presbyterian - That is a good thing, in my mind, as both roads lead to New Jerusalem... And to the King.
And if one were to separate those who are too novel to be considered, even among the broad support of the Protestant/Evangelical community, ant those who have fallen away and become apostate... Leaving those things which truly separate what is an otherwise very homogeneous community:
In my observation, those things are specifically the parts of Rome which were not rejected (Baptism v. Infant Baptism springs readily to mind as an example)...
It isn't so much about salvation, as it is about confusion - And the winnowing process invariably must separate the wheat from the tare. I expect that process to result in a worship of YHWH which is more Biblical, and more detested by the worldly, as the years roll on (what few there are left). Many sacred cows need to be gored.
[roamer_1:] In that light, I agree with you that the Reformation churches were transitory - and quite likely, the Evangelical non-denoms are too...
I'm with you. The constant is belief in The Gospel and Scripture as the guide. The level of discernment may vary.
Another great point. And to what degree is discernment leveraged by Bible teaching? IOW, Do traditions of men prevent or diminish discernment? No doubt... But by what degree?
The Roman Church has often been accused of producing the Antichrist, but I think that was probably more due to the atrocities committed by this church. I think what we will see, if we are around, is the False Prophet will emerge from the profane ecumenism.
I fully expect the Roman church to be at the head of that profane ecumenical community - if it can survive Islam. There is very good reason to believe that whole pope/Roman church=anti-Christ shtick... It is the only candidate that fits the prophecies almost perfectly.
I am not welded to the idea, by any means, but it is hard to imagine another that fits as well, at least, at this juncture.
Almost 500 posts and counting and not ONE Catholic has addressed the topic of the thread and explained what they think are the lies and slander contained in the article.
