Funny how people who want to sin immediately knee jerk into the reaction of *You can’t judge me. Who do you think you are? God?* when someone simply points out the verses in Scripture where GOD already passes judgment on certain behaviors.
Not to mention that the Catholics then pass the same kind of judgment on non-Catholics when they tell them that they’re not saved because they haven’t been baptized, don’t take communion with the eucharist, don’t go to confession, or any of the other things their religion teaches them that they must do to get into heaven.
Again, it’s *Do as I say, not as I do* with most of the Catholics on this board.
Too many Catholics here don’t and won’t recognize some non-Catholic’s faith as legitimate when they remain outside of Catholicism, even when the CCC does. In contrast, even the non-Catholics do and will recognize some Catholics faith as legitimate even though they remain in Catholicism.
As a layman I don’t pass judgment on anyone. But you as an Evangelical layperson seem quite happy to pass judgement on the “Whore of Babylon”.
I don’t judge your soul. But you seem quite happy to pretend it’s the Last Judgment and you are sitting on the throne and you are sending the Catholics to hell.
You don’t know the state of your soul let alone anyone else’s, so don’t be so quick to pass judgment.
You don’t speak for the Bible either.
In contrast, even the non-Catholics do and will recognize some Catholics faith as legitimate even though they remain in Catholicism.
>>You are saying something that no one here has said.
Well, mm, that's what happens when a denomination relegates God to anything other than primacy in all things; in this case, God's word, God-breathed (and which they claim some ownership ;) is relegated to some sort of co-equal status with "tradition".
When that happens, there is no longer any issue of fear about their sins.... besides, why worry with God? Jaunt on down to the local priest and go to confession, say so many Hail Mary's and Our Father's and you're good to go!
