Oh?
The BRITISH kind?
The AMERICAN kind?
The CANADIAN kind?
The AUSTRALIAN kind?
Or even the KIWI kind?
by "we" I meant the world
by everyone, including God.
LOOK!
There goes MARY!!!
YOU CAN BET ON THAT!!!!!
And dinosaurs ruled the earth for millions of years; but now they are gone.
Make up your MIND, man!
They is just mere humans!
(I read that somewhere...)
That helps...
Uh, Say what? I realize we live in an upside down world but have you seen any of my posts? Where in heavens name did you get the idea that I would support anyone who engaged in the crusades or where I indicated that I condoned any such thing? Surely you jest or have totally lost touch with reality. Maybe you thought you were responding to someone else?
in the year 300 the Catholic church was on its 29th pope...they didn't wand to make changes in Christianity, they WERE Christianity...
Why would a cloak, spread over 6 or 8 inchec of straw be less comfortable than a sheet spread over a mattress??????? and remember, this was about two thousand years ago.
Wow, your demonination certainly teaches some strange things, I've never heard of any of them....better be looking for a new denomination!!!
I just checked my atlas and Indiana is in America...by the way, so is Canada...so I'll choose American.
Most of the anti-Catholics in these threads are denominations of one, they and their inner thoughts, fears, and hatreds. They have no dogmas and doctrines are like ping-pong balls, their direction and velocity determined only by the last thing they encountered. The seem to not realize that when you build a chicken coop you build the walls not merely strong enough to keep the chickens in, but strong enough to keep the carnivores out. GK Chesterton characterized it perfectly:
"Catholic doctrine and discipline may be walls; but they are the walls of a playground. Christianity is the only frame which has preserved the pleasure of Paganism. We might fancy some children playing on the flat grassy top of some tall island in the sea. So long as there was a wall round the cliff's edge they could fling themselves into every frantic game and make the place the noisiest of nurseries. But the walls were knocked down, leaving the naked peril of the precipice. They did not fall over; but when their friends returned to them they were all huddled in terror in the center of the island; and their song had ceased.”
Peace be with you
Nice shot of the Vaticam but that's not where we are, by the way, I think that the Pope is able to speak 50 languages.
they are all mere humans, but we should respect humans, and if they have achieved status ie. president, king, pope, we should also respect the office.
Uhh, I'll go with "the ones who can only see the outward appearances instead of the heart" for $1000, Alex. ;o)
I re-read my post and couldn’t fine where I used the word “dogma”. Could you point it out to me?
>> An Anathema is simply the highest or most severe form of Excommunication.<<
Ok, we have already shown that the RCC says that “Outside the Church there is no salvation”.
What do we mean when we say, "Outside the Church there is no salvation? --When we say, "Outside the Church there is no salvation", we mean that those who through their own grave fault do not know that the Catholic Church is the true Church, or knowing it, refuse to join it, cannot be saved. (http://www.catholicbook.com/AgredaCD/MyCatholicFaith/mcfc070.htm)
“Since God commanded all to be members of His Church. those who deliberately disobey His command will not be saved. Whoever, through his own fault, remains outside of the Catholic Church, will be lost eternally.” (http://www.catholicbook.com/AgredaCD/MyCatholicFaith/mcfc070.htm)
“However, for those who knowingly and deliberately (that is, not out of innocent ignorance) commit the sins of heresy (rejecting divinely revealed doctrine) or schism (separating from the Catholic Church and/or joining a schismatic church), no salvation would be possible until they repented and returned to live in Catholic unity. (http://www.catholic.com/tracts/salvation-outside-the-church)
>>Nowhere does the Church claim the authority to damn or judge anyone.<<
So now you say that when the RCC excommunicates someone because they don’t believe some unscriptural made up cockamamie belief of the RCC they are not “damning or judging” anyone?
