I Hated the Idea of Becoming Catholic

Aleteia ^ | JUNE 20, 2014 | ANTHONY BARATTA

[Elsie]

I consider myself part of the Holy Catholic Church which is the Body of Christ.

Then you probably mean...

...the Holy (c)atholic Church

[Elsie]

1.Yes, the Roman Catholic Church is an authentic New Testament church.

HMMMmmm...

---

Yes, THESE are authentic Roman Catholic Churches...

Ephesus 
Smyrna 
Pergamon 
Thyatira
Sardis  
Philadelphia 
Laodicea

And where are these ERROR FILLED churches today?

As is your usual MO, you give NO references for your copy and pastes and take verses out of their context. If someone has to snippet hunt - an accusation often made against “Protestants” - to try and prove their beliefs, they aren’t being honest. It isn’t really that much more effort to do that is it?

And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

[verga]

I have given this the zero consideration it is due.

[Elsie]

If indeed they said "men dris" in Aramaic or "m bereshit" in Hebrew,

[Elsie]

Now would be good time to post THIS:

2 Timothy 2:14

Keep reminding God’s people of these things.
Warn them before God against quarreling about words;
it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

[af_vet_1981]

So I am reclaiming Catholicism for all of us.

Kol shenevakesh lu yehi

All that we shall ask, let it be.

[Elsie]

You might consider sticking to Caucus threads if the truth bothers you this much.

Mary is dead.

[af_vet_1981]

“V’zot haTorah asher sarm Moshe lifnei b’nei Yisrael al pi Adonai b’yad Moshe”

[Elsie]

I like your screen name!

Here is the solution for it:

 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

[CynicalBear]

The bottom line is that the requirement by some to identify with some earthly formed “denomination” has no basis in scripture.

[Elsie]

This is one of those time that I wish we had the Aramaic/ Hebrew text, then there would be zero confusion.

Perhaps editor-surveyor can help, us out!

[Elsie]

If anyone speaks in a tongue, he should translate.

[CynicalBear]

But first among them are the Muslims right?

[af_vet_1981]

If anyone speaks in a tongue, he should translate.

There is a mistaken letter in the transliteration which I corrected. The translation in post 524 is correct ( This is the Torah that Moses placed before the Israelites—the mouth of the LORD at the hand of Moses.)

[CynicalBear]

>>it is dissonant to imagine these two Jewish rabbis in the land of Israel discussing God in Greek.<<

But the Holy Spirit chose to have the New Testament recorded in Greek and we can be assured He knew the meaning of words.

[CynicalBear]

Guess I should have read one more post down. :-)

[CynicalBear]

Every time someone comes up with that “you shouldn’t judge” statement it tells me they internally sense they are in error.

[CynicalBear]

One would think that Nicodemus understood the language being spoken better than any of us. If Jesus had used a word to strictly mean “from above” why would Nicodemus ask about re-entering the womb?
