His human nature began at the Incarnation, but His divine nature is divine — without beginning or end. Your original statement didn’t make that clear.

[terycarl]

You twist the scriptures to fit your every fancy, all the while worshiping the Earth and its creatures.

[Iscool]

Christ was a creature, so yes, Catholics worship Him...a creature..

Well then Christ IS STILL a creature, for you guys...

[terycarl]

No, he was the creator, so catholics can’t worship him.

[terycarl]

No, he was the creator, so catholics can’t worship him.

[terycarl]

No, he was the creator, so catholics can’t worship him

my answer didn't print either time.....so I'll say it again, Catholics worshiped and honored Christ as the creator 1,600 years before you even knew who He was.

[verga]

ZSo you are saying blah blah blah to the scriptures

NO, Only to someone who doesn't understand context.

[vladimir998]

Nope. You’re wrong. As usual.

Bread and Wine were often items of sacrifice. In any case. read your Bible again.

[Kenny Bunk]

Neither the touchy-feely exam.

Must be true. Saw it on BBC, which never lies about the Papacy ... much.

Now what about this Pope Joan character? True? False? Was she, wasn't she? The Vatican ain't talkin'.

IMNVHO, the problem with Roman Catholicism is that it's so .... well, like "Roman." I mean it probably has not escaped your notice that both the Pope and Julius Caesar share the Pontifex Maximus title?

That, and a million other things, are a living connection to the classical world of Greece and Rome, which I personally think is often quite admirable, but excites nothing but fear and loathing in others who are always mumbling about "idolatry, pagan practices, and rituals."

That all of Bullfinch's Mythology somehow got itself converted, baptized, and sanctified does not subtract a jot from the Sacrifice of Christ for our Salvation.

[Kenny Bunk]

Luther, an Augustinian priest, was a lot more Catholic than later Protestants might wish to give him credit for! Witness for example, his lifelong commitment to The Mother of Christ.

He was a Reformer, not a Wiper-Outer.

[Kenny Bunk]

There is a small shrine there in Rome to Pope Joan.

This, this I am now going to check out. Hope there's a good bar on the same street!

Really??? Where???

It is impossible to point out scripturally where you are right and I am wrong so you resort to another typical Catholic response, read your bible again...

Is this supposed to make you sound like some kind of authority???

[Iscool]

Nope. You’re wrong. As usual.

Because you said so, eh??? You want to put some bible verses in there to refute what I posted??? NO??? That's because you can't...

[RobbyS]

Two references to topic , one in Genesis and the other in Hebrews. I am sure that you know where they are.

[Iscool]

NO, Only to someone who doesn't understand context.

That little bit of scripture tells a story...A story about religious bozos who wear black robes, and robes adorned with gold...Priests...Priests holding crosses who want you to think that only they have the power of the Holy Spirit...

Priests who want you to call them Father...And bishop...And cardinal...and pope...

Jesus then says, 'Do not do it'...

Jesus was a Bishop... Your religion has arch-bishops, cardinals, popes and who knows what else which are higher in rank than Jesus...

***I don’t see a Kennedy “monument” anywhere.***

I am not surprised that a protestant can’t tell the difference between a play house and a monument.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

You should see the Kennedy bust inside. Looks like wall to wall acne.

That was said years ago when the place first opened.

The Mall is for the rabble. The Kennedy Center is for the Hoity-toidy.

More than that...

But there is no reference to a sacrifice...If anything it's an acknowledgment and celebration of Abraham's victory...
