The Blood of Saint Januarius liquefied this year.

>>I don’t know why people make such a big deal out of this.<<

Because God said not to.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God

[CynicalBear]

None of that has to do with my worship of God which we are discussing. Other delving into my personal life is not allowed here and incessantly hounding me about my personal life will be reported.if you continue.

[vladimir998]

I’m sure it will seem obvious to everyone why those questions are not being answered.

[CynicalBear]

>>You brought up this issue of supposed paganism.<<

And you said your church did not incorporate paganism in there worship of God which I showed you that they indeed do admit that. I incorporate no paganism in my worship of God. End of discussion.

[vladimir998]

“All religions adapt from other cultures. I don’t know why people make such a big deal out of this.”

I think for many Protestant anti-Catholics it comes with the whole territory of restoration theology and ecclesiology. They think they have tapped into some long lost original Christian church which was hanging around in the pages of the New Testament and in the ether of the air just waiting for pure Protestant hands and hearts to find it. That demands that everything “added” since then that might smack even remotely of “Roman Catholicism” must be stripped away and abandoned as horrible, superstitious, latter day, pagan or semi-pagan accretions snuck in there by Constantine or some evil pope or whatever the crack pot theory of the week is. Some things seem to show up in this twilight world of idiots on a rather routine basis: 1) they do not always apply to the same theory to their own lives (i.e. they continue with their wedding rings, pagan named days of the weeks [Thor’s-day anyone?!] or what have you; 2) they try to establish a church and practice that is nothing more than their fantasy for their Protestant beliefs nullify and possibility of their creation actually resembling the original Church in beliefs no matter what else they do.

If a pagan once had something, and now we have it, it is now Christian.

If a pagan once had something, and now we have it, it is now Christian Catholic.

It's really sad that a someone is so indoctrinated as to believe every lie and try to present it as the truth. It means that Satan has grasped their minds and they cannot see the truth of Christ's Sacrifice.

There is only one church, and it does not reign from Rome. It is headed by Christ and those with His Holy Spirit indwelling (in all believers) are His body! It's too simple for catechized to understand. Catechism = indoctrination... Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes an acceptable part of their reasoning. Start as a child and you end with a people willing to kill others to support their group. We saw it in the "Dark Ages" and we see blind supporters today. Todays Jihadists are no more sincere than the thoroughly indoctrinated RC of today, except for the blowing themselves up. The RC's only wanted (want?) others to die!!!

Jesus offers open eyes to those willing to look!

Romans 3: ... 5 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. ...

Then you probably have experienced the resistance people have of letting go of those rituals. Its easy to see how the Catholic Church would simply incorporate them to attract and keep membership. And also why the Protestant churches won’t address the issue.

[delchiante]

Yes..

But I think Santa and the Bunny are blessings that could actually be a gift for believers to seek out the genuine and not the counterfeit..
The less and less the ‘season’ is abut the Messiah, maybe they will seek out Truth.

The scripture tells us that the Messiah was born about six days from today...
That will be ignored by Christendom.. and Israel will be celebrating their new year at the time and not knowing that it actually points to their promised King. (And that is another topic all together that really gets interesting)

Israel rejects the King but because they sort of observe some dates in Scripture, they stumble into big days that His life events occurred on as we can expect from the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us..

Christendom, who accepts the King , has created some dates not in Scripture and miss the big days of His life and just give lip service to the Word became flesh and dwelt among us verse.

If that doesn’t sound like a counterfeit, mixed up world.. it sounds like perfect sense in a world run by the enemy..

The ignorance of Israel and the supposed bride is a sad commentary on worship for people who claim to love YHWH with all their heart, mind, soul, etc...
Or prophetic fulfillment of things like Satan deceives the whole world..

[WVKayaker]

Christ founded the Catholic Church. Your puny sect with no foundation in Christ,...

As much as you say it, you must be thoroughly indoctrinated into that lie. The "church" is made up of all believers in Christ, understanding through His Holy Spirit that we are grafted into His family for all time.

Catholicism is a cult of manmade rules and doctrines not found in a proper exegesis of Scripture. It bases itself as the arbiter and divider of faith, and proclaims itself as the only true representative of Christ on Earth. It's numerous followers only demonstrate how profoundly Satan has succeeded in concealing God's Truths and making the seeing go blind...

You can post those derogatory remarks about Christians until you are blue in the face, and yet, you cannot substantiate your claims by using God's own Word. Your RC catechism only trains you in error and indoctrinates you into lies.

Christians are those who have acknowledged His Sacrifice and are therefore believers in the power and efficacy of His Work. Nothing in Scripture tells us to be part of any organization led by man (certainly not men in fancy garments pretending to be special), and certainly Scripture tells us that we are all joint heirs with Christ.

You are welcome to join us in truth and renounce the lies of Satan that you continually repeat. I entreat you to learn Scripture and pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth!!!

Romans 3: 27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. ...

Romans 5: ...5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. ...

Romans 8: ...16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Ephesians 3: ...6 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Well, nothing you posted changes the truth of anything I posted. Since that is the case I just don’t see the point of the post.

[GeronL]

What kind of cultic spiritualism is this? It ain’t Christianity for certain (no graven images for one thing).

[Arthur McGowan]

Iconoclasm is a Christian heresy.

[WVKayaker]

...Since that is the case I just don’t see the point of the post.

I am sorry that some wish to remain in ignorance and to spout intolerance of truth!

That response makes a perfect example of it...

[Elsie]

It’s a MIRACLE!!!

... they were watching cattle in a pasture when they saw a globe of light that “opened” to reveal a most beautiful woman...

[Iscool]

I'm probably reading this wrong...At least I hope I am...

But the most stupendous miracle, and that which is greatly celebrated in the church, is the liquefying and boiling up of this blessed martyr’s blood whenever the vials are brought in sight of his head.

Do you guys really have this fella's head laying around in one of your churches??? Why would you cut off someone's head and save it??? And then the dead head and the blood 'know' when they are in proximity to each other???

I have to wonder what inspired someone to collect this guy's blood and head after he died in the first place...And at some time apparently after the saved blood was witnessed liquifying it was put into an ornate vial to be viewed...

Does the mouth move on the head as well???

Catholics seem to be the most gullible, superstitious crowd I've ever seen...When the anti-Christ shows up he's going to love you guys...A couple of miracles and you'll be hooked...You'll be eating out of his hand...
