Hail, Full of Grace" (Catholic)
Grace is Dark Matter
It is wrong on so many levels after reading only two paragraphs that ‘my born again spirit’ is repulsed at such untruths! So let the deceived remain deceived - they are indoctrinated so they reject TRUTH; therefore, unteachable.
GOD’S Holy Spirit inspired WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY.
**When a person is justified, does he have a new life? It would seem so, for if sanctifying grace makes us sharers of the divine nature, must it not also make us sharers of the divine life, since God’s nature is nothing if not vital. And yet, a new life is a difficult concept.
However, Sacred Scripture, the Father of the Church, Popes and theologians all join in proclaiming that in the just — those born again of water and the Holy Spirit — there is new life. Besides his triple natural life the just man enjoys a new, higher, supernatural life of grace. This is what puzzled Nicodemus: he already had human life and thought it absurd to be “born again.” Our Lord, however, told him that he was wrong: what is born of flesh has the nature of flesh, but what is born of the Spirit is of the nature of the Spirit.**
In these two paragraphs, the Early church Fathers, the Popes and the Church agree with the Bible. What are you talking about then?
Now, I'm not discussing with you the UNTRUTHS about catholicsm because you have been exposed to the TRUTH for years and rejected it and actively fought against it. So save your what are you talking about? NOW!
God's WORD is The FINAL AUTHORITY!
You wrote:
“First of all, you assumed what two paragraphs I read!”
So you’re admitting you didn’t read the beginning and just read random paragraphs so you wouldn’t get the context?
Yeah, you’re a Protestant.
LOL! So what two paragraphs did you read? Fess up, please.
Do you read the whole of Playboy to get the context?
Then why do you continue to wallow in what you claim disgusts you? Why don't you shake the dust from your sandals and simply leave us alone and thus remain unoffended? If it is your ambition to be disgusted by Catholicism you can do that in the privacy of your own space without antagonizing anyone.
Peace be with you

“I don’t bring garbage in. Get it?”
I don’t think you get it. If you’re posting about something, should you read it first?
“Do you read the whole of Playboy to get the context?”
If the issue is what Playboy says, yes. You’re in the thread for some reason. Is it to look foolish to actually make a point backed up with some knowledge? You choose.
I said there are so many wrongs - didn’t I? That means I will not spend my God-given time on UNTRUTHS when my time is eternally rewarded spent on TRUTH/JESUS.
Didn’t I say you were given TRUTHS for years and rejected it and actively fought against it? So fess up about that! Until then, no pearls!
Are you so clueless you can’t even recognize a scenarios and apply it? Must be because you proved it!
It doesn’t take much UNTRUTHS for a born again believer to KNOW IT and you, obviously, know NOTHING about that. This is what happens when two of opposing spirits try to discuss anything.
So long and take your angst out on the CC hierarchy and their man made teachings - I AM SO NOT INTERESTED in your rant, pleas and misery.
If it is your ambition to be disgusted by Catholicism you can do that in the privacy of your own space without antagonizing anyone.
If it is your ambition to knock down Christians who HEAR and OBEY Gods Word's ALONE - have at it because YOU CAN'T HIDE - HE IS EVERYWHERE!
If TRUTH antagonizes you or anyone, then we know of what spirit they are from.
Setting aside your attempted mind reading for the moment, I am simply stating the obvious by reminding you that since Catholicism seems to offend you so much you have the ability to not be offended by avoiding Catholic threads. Your continued presence reminds me of the guy who says he only hangs out in strip clubs because they offend him so much.
Peace
Thanks for posting! Bookmarking to hopefully have time to come back later to read and ponder.
I detest EVIL/UNTRUTHS as God does and NO devil in hell will ever stop me from speaking out about it when I see/read it - no matter what manipulative tactics are 'tried' for 'It is Written'...Satan 'tried' it on Jesus and failed and it won't work on those 'in Christ' either.
Is that why you came on this thread, after only reading two paragraphs of the OP? To "speak out" about "untruths"?
You surely must be gifted in some way to be able to discern an entire work is "untrue" by only reading 10% of it. I'm impressed.
Not.
Now go and have the "precious" last word on me if you need it. I think what truly needs to be said here wrt your motivations on this thread has already been said.
Well, maybe not the devil, but somebody sure has "stopped you from speaking out about it":
It called being obdurate and is definitely not one of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Peace be with you
