“we sure don’t play nice do we? you can go back to your room now.”
“Nice” is a late medieval Anglo-French word meaning “foolish” or “silly” or “dumb”. Really. Look it up. I have no reason to be “nice”. And I don’t pretend charity doesn’t demand an occasional slap to the head for the morons and bigots either. Christ called the Pharisees vipers. Paul called even his beloved Galatians “foolish” and “bewitched”. I see no reason not to be brutally honest with anti-Catholic bigots.
please share your wisdom with us.
If you believe in anything other than God's Word....what are you believing in?
If you believe you can lose your faith, how? Are you saying your sins are so great Jesus' death on the cross didn't forgive them?? past, present and future??
If you believe you "have to do something" other than have faith in Christ, what is it you must do?
How much of it do you have to do?
Do works get you into Heaven? Even though Paul called them filthy rags to be discarded?
How do you know when you've done enough...or even the right things for that matter?
What if you don't confess your sins to a priest before you die? Do you go to Heaven or Hell?
If not the Bible, which is given to us by the Holy Spirit, how do you trust a man-made book not inspired by the Holy Spirit? To my knowledge no other book makes that claim.
How is that any different than Mormons who rely on the Book of Mormon in addition to the Bible?
If you wanna get snarky I can also or can you play like a big boy and try and have a conversation?

Word History Five hundred years ago, when nice was first used in English, it meant "foolish or stupid." This is not as surprising as it may seem, since it came through early French from the Latin nescius, meaning "ignorant." By the 16th century, the sense of being "very particular" or "finicky" had developed. In the 19th century, nice came to mean "pleasant or agreeable" and then "respectable," a sense quite unlike its original meaning.
