Why do some minions have two eyes while a few only one eye????
"...they are protestant and when all is said and done we are Catholic and never the twain shall meet."“I will assume from here out that you are not a Christian.”
bad, bad, bad...
bad assumption, based on bad information and bad conclusions...
and definitely NOT a Christian thing to say to anyone.
wow..

Same thing don'tcha think? (definitely NOT a Christian thing to say )
Catholics seem to want to separate themselves from Christians.
Rather, you have proven you know nothing about what the word even means. Let me help:
You said, "It seems to me that it must sadden Him that Protestants make such a big deal of rejecting all those gifts." You are making a blanket statement that all Protestants reject all God's gifts and make a big deal out of doing so and it saddens God because they do. Turn that around, and:
"It seems to me that it must sadden God that Catholics make such a big deal of rejecting all those gifts." ...Would you call that a prejudiced or bigoted statement to say ALL Catholics do something that saddens God?
I'm giving you a chance to gain back some credibility among right-thinking people. Will you take it?
Dang those pesky rules about making it personal!
Basically all protestants are doing is calling god (referring to the prot god, not Catholic God) an impotent liar.
--Mormon restoration of Sermon on Curmorah
Soon; all will be revealed...
Dang those who suffer from low T.
Rules do NOT prevent pointing out ERROR, only timidity does.
If one claims to find it, then it behooves them to warn others.
"There's a big boulder, located in the eastbound lane, at milemarker 97.4" is a LOT more useful than "While traveling today, I saw some debris in the road."
Basically all Catholic teaching does is to call Joseph (referring to the husband of Catholic Mary, not PROTESTant Mary) an impotent,frustrated man.
Protestants that can READ and UNDERSTAND, realize than Joseph and Mary had many children that are MENTIONED (but not named) in Scripture.
Some appear badder than others...

That is with out a doubt the stupidest analogy I have every heard. I will pray for you.

Not interested.

Important to remember they are protestants ‘who doth protest too much’ - it is why they are called ‘protestant’.
Also those who you may challenge may feel strong in their personal faith, so your attempt to explain our faith will be resisted just as much as you resist their decidedly protestant arguments.
I never expect to change a hardened heart, but there are many who are in real need, some who may be very close to you who you can effect - so look for real need and an open heart to spend time on.

There are two reasons I am here. The second is to answer the questions the lurkers don't ask, by countering the prot lies.
We’ll good luck with that.

Your words are wise; the Spirit of God is blowing whithersover He wills looking for broken and contrite hearts. hardened hearts are tragic and almost unbearably sad. Let it never be our own, as it is written:
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
“Same thing don’tcha think? (definitely NOT a Christian thing to say ). Catholics seem to want to separate themselves from Christians. “
They’ve bought into the bogus Peter as First Pope Theory and look down on those who belong to Christ that are not part of their church. Whatever. In the end, it hampers obedience to the Savior.
God knows those who are His. I’ve no doubt that many Catholics will be in heaven, despite the works doctrines and pagan additions. Many will not. I’ve equally no doubt that the same principle applies to Baptists and every other Christian group.
“Not everyone who says,...”
Indeed, one way to prevent hardening your own heart would be regular attendance at Mass for Catholics and church services for Protestants.
The Lord speaks to each of us in His own way and place - His house where two or more gathered in His Name is often overlooked as a source of personal inspiration.
Another way is expanding our prayer to include meditation on Christ’s life and/or a Sriptural passage (lectio divinia), quiet contemplation to actually listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say to us and by putting our faith into action by doing.
Yes indeed no one can ever stop learning or we are going backwards in our faith.
For the Greater Glory of God
You said: “They’ve bought into the bogus Peter as First Pope Theory .”
It understandable how you would think that ‘it would be a buy in’ however we accept Peter as the first Pope as a sign of our faith - an immense difference.
Believe what you want.
