“What you don’t get is the fact that when you say “I do get it...” you have in fact missed it! You cannot say like the Apostle Paul did towards the end of his life..”I have run the race, I have fought the good fight...” That is what you are claiming! In all of your postings, you come across as a smug, “I have all the answers and you don’t for i have ascended into the Catholic third heaven, whether in body or in the spirit, who knows, hearing words not lawful for men to hear” kind of fellow.”
You’re completely off. I am not claiming what you falsely say I am claiming.
“Tares grow with wheat and by the 15th century the tares were choaking out the “truth” in the Catholic and Orthodox churches in such a way that the work of Christ on Earth was threatened hence the Reformation.”
Completely false. That is nothing but a fable created by Protestants to rationalize their embrace of heresy and schism.
“God planted new off shoots so that the light of Christ could continue to be preached in the whole world. That is also “truth”...sorry you can’t handle that aspect of the truth...which is that the true church is the whole body of Spirit filled believers everywhere, across time and dimension.”
The Spirit does not sow discord. Thus, the Spirit had nothing to do with the founding of Protestant sects.
“I’d consider becoming Catholic, should there ever be such a revival that the Catholic Chruch gets close to what it was in the earliest of its history...even getting back to 325ad practises would be a tremendous improvement!”
Then you better convert tomorrow. They had the Eucharist, priesthood, bishops, 7 sacraments, etc. back then and we have it today. All your doing now is showing you probably don’t know much of anything about the Church in 325 let alone today.
I know what they had in 325 ad, It’s the stuff they have added since that era which has become the problem; but don’t think I’m dumping on Catholics... the leadership in mainline Protestant churches have been drinking the same wine of the Harlot, Mystery Babylon! Anytime, I hear some supposed believer Catholic or Protestant, saying that all religions are the same, even Muslims and Buddhists are worshipping the same God in the end, then I know the spirit of Anti-Christ has deluded them.
“You’re completely off. I am not claiming what you falsely say I am claiming.”
No I am responding sarcastically to how you are writing and how you are attacking the faith and motives of those Protestants you disagree with...without you even having the courage to sign your real name to your attacks. You come across as though you believe your-self to be the pope himself. If you believe yourself to be a champion of “TRUTH”(sounds of klaxons and warning bells)...then don’t hide a pseudonym. We might still disagree, but I’ll certainly take you more seriously...perhaps even more respectfully!
