Oh? So now salvation is based on someone knowing the *proper* definition of *anathema*? And you know who denies the deity of Christ? Mind reading much?
Keep on feedin that ego and get used to the idea of hearing, “I never knew you”.
For all Catholics screech about how no one is going to know if they made it until they get there, they sure are not reluctant to pass judgment on others.
If Catholics can't even be sure about themselves, they're in NO position to make that determination about others. Or did God tell you ahead of time who's saved and who's not?
Jesus Christ said the Holy Spirit would lead the Apostles to all truth.
James said, “... not by faith only”.
Anyone who thinks James is wrong, that James lied or that James was misquoted, is saying that the Holy Spirit did not lead James or did not oversee and ensure the Truth of the Scriptures.
Anyone who says the Holy Spirit did not guide the Apostles to all truth is calling Jesus Christ a liar.
Anyone who calls Jesus Christ a liar is denying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God from God, incapable of telling a lie.
It's about those who deny the deity of Christ. Being Catholic comes in when a Catholic reads how we're to deal with those who openly and repeatedly deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Even prior to recognizing that the Catholic Church is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Christ Himself and the One True Church, I didn't want anything to do with the sort of numb skulls who claimed to be Christian but denied the deity of Christ. Not the Watchtower crew, the Mormon crowd, and especially not pontificating posters pretending they are infallible interpreters of His Word while at the same time denying His Word and The Word which is Christ Himself at the same time.
Blather, babble, bumpkin interpretations, and everything else those who deny the deity of Christ post to excuse or hide their denial of Christ are all meaningless. Anathema applies because they have openly and repeatedly denied the deity and the Truth of His Word right along with their repeated denials of the deity of Christ.
So, such folks can wallow in whatever muddy little fantasy they like, especially any of them who also like to pretend they were once Catholic, they still cannot hide from the fact that they deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the thing to do is leave them to their reprobate mind and pray for them. They've made their bed and either they'll be totally given over to a reprobate mind and continue to move ever further away from Christ, or the Holy Spirit will deal with them by other means.
