“God bless you for trying to argue with the haters...

Ah, yes...

The word even Whitey 'hates' to be called!!

A sure bet to befuddle the one called and generate an almost visceral response to PROVE they ain't one!

(Homey don't play dat.)

Nah, I barely responded to “hater.” People are going to say what the are going to say. I do think it’s a politically correct and reckless phrase that is oten tossed about to shout out the truth, but if that’s all it was I probably wouldn’t have responded.

In this instance I mostly reacted to “rabid anti-Catholicism,” believing some explanation is owed. I see Catholics or Mormons try to shut down debate by saying something like “it is so sad that Christians can’t get along and focus on our real enemies.” I can’t pretend either group is made up of Christians in the Bible meaning of that word. I can’t be quiet and pretend Rome or Salt Lake City offer the way to Christ when I know both preach another gospel, a false gospel that ensnares unsuspecting souls. These Catholics believe these things they do have some eternal value, but their prayers to saints, their Hail Mary’s, their rosaries, their observance of days, their penances, their indulgences, their confessions, their Filthy Rags, aren’t worth anything. These are manifestations of manmade religion that have zero merit with God. Their strivings may make an old narcissistic pope happy, but God only accepts those clothed in Christ’s perfect righteousness, that righteousness imputed to sinners that makes them as holy as Christ in God’s eyes. When Christ’s righteousness is imputed to a sinner it’s a legal declaration that can never be changed. Their sin debt is marked paid-in-full even though they are as guilty as can be.

Satan does his best work in the realm of religion. he’s the angel of light. To men Rome looks grand. She just has to be God’s institution because she is so old and glorious and she seems so holy. To use an Old Testament metaphor, those who believe that are caught in the Fowler’s snare.
