I am going to try once more- we are saved through faith -
Then we must work.
I repeat - Martin Luther was a failed Augustinian. This Sola Fide is a wrong premise.

And we thank God that Marty failed as a Catholic...

Reprise again

Boehner did not stand up - His golfing with Obama was a Rino move - no offense to your reference - please don’t take it wrong

You and the enemy thank God.

Why do you think that a heretic is right?

John 5:28-29

King James Version (KJV)

28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Yes and Amen.

The resurrection of the body will take place.

I prefer the Douay Rheims myself - because of St. Jerome’s suffering to get it right

Jerome says - Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

Our creed - from the apostles ends with “the resurrection of the body” and life everlasting.

It comes from this verse - Catholics do not make things up - never!!
PS - that is why the Blessed Mother was assummed - she just went ahead of us because she was perfect

I do not blame our protestant brothers and sisters for having been raised to believe that Catholics try to “earn” their way into heaven.

Scripture clearly says that apart from faith in Jesus, there is nothing we can do to merit the grace of God.

I completely agree.

However, Scripture is equally clear that “works” are expected of those who have faith and accept that grace.

The Catholic belief that one’s faith is confirmed in one’s works is one of the most misunderstood.

Protestants have the same belief they just don’t say it quite the same. How many times have you heard a protestant say, “Well, I am a good person.” or “I try to be a good person.”

We all want the same thing, life with Christ, both in this world and the next. It is completely in keeping with people who love Him and because they do, they love their neighbor.

Are you from that area?

I had the great pleasure of visiting Buffalo last summer for the Catholic Daughters of the Americas national convention.

One of our day trips was to see the shrine where he is buried and the school he built.

The truly remarkable part of his story is that he was not young when he began his work there.

There are some specials - Elijah for one

Therefore, since it happened before; we can just claim it happened again; with NO proof at all.

It is the last supper Do this in Memory of me that causes me to feel the ritual is needed.

You may feel all you want; but the RITUAL was established LONG ago: It's known as the Passover meal. It happens once a year for a REMEMBERENCE of GOD's saving provision.

Get it?

In memory of me...

He persuaded the blue collar Buffalonians to give 10 cents per week . - voluntarily - and he turned those suckers (the ladies of the night/ the young cads, etc. around.

No government money attached -

And now; OUR government can't even run a cathouse and turn a profit!

Just a few anti catholics that I am in a fight with - soon I will stop because they will not ever get the fact that Luther was screwed up.

Show us a man who AIN'T!

I think they 'get it' alright; it's just that don't like other folks using it as an excuse to say that his conclusions about Catholicism are wrong.

Why do you think that a heretic is right?

Why do you think that a heretic is always wrong?

Sigh...

Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
