Then you need to get out more.

What does that have to do with anything?

That was law added to the torah.. it was a tradition of works.. if He had broken the law He could not have been a sinless savior

Exactly right.

Not true. When was the first Bible printed by Gutenberg?

1440 Gutenberg invented movable type and 1450 a fully functioning printing press. one of the first books printed in 1455 was the Catholic Bible (Long before Trent) of which there are approximately 50 intact copies still remaining. One of which is still in the Library of Congress.

The legalisms of the Sabbath were not given by God..they were man made rules

You have made an error.

Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: Exo 20:11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Before this in chapter 16 they gathered the manna on 6 days out of 7.

Exo 16:22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. Exo 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein. Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field. Exo 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. Exo 16:27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.

Hardly sounds like Pharisaical legalisms. God was doing this even before the 10 commandments.

There was no manna on the Sabbath to be gathered.

Exodus 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

Makes it pretty definite NO WORK: INCLUDING PICKING SOMETHING TO EAT.

Comprehension has NEVER been a prot strong suit.

Go back and restudy the lesson. The manna wasn’t provided on the Sabbath as it was God’s Day of Rest, not to prevent it from being eaten. Instead, He provided a double potion the day prior for their providence on the Sabbath. (Ex 16)

Even Christ Himself picked food on the Sabbath. The issue was living through faith in Him.

Jesus healed on the Sabbath and the Pharisees said the same thing to Him.

Imagine that.

Knowledge of Scripture has never been a Catholic strong point.

You don't need to denigrate another's faith to proclaim yours.

Yet your faith believes that only Catholics have a "completed" relationship with Jesus Christ.

And one highly respected leaders of your belief system says if children are not sprinkled (uses the term baptism, which sprinkling when a baby is NOT) and they die in childhood that God will send them to hell! [I've posted the proof of that recently if you don't believe it]

How's that for denigrating Jesus' love for Children?

How about inane condescending questions asked frequently such as "do you have a Bible?", "do you read the Bible?" and "does your Bible contain [insert any book of the Bible]?

All from Catholics, now that should fit under your "air of contempt" don't ya think?

Plus goading, ridicule, deriding, taunting [provoke or challenge (someone) with insulting remarks] all to show superiority apparently.

Plus watch how much the term prot is used derisively to describe ANYONE that is not Catholic.

I have yet to hear, Bear, that you find joy or peace, or anything positive about your beliefs. You simply point out the negative in others' denominations.

If there is a post out there that is otherwise, I have yet to see it.

At least he shows people where they're wrong from Scripture instead of simply posting *You're wrong* and leaving at that.

When have I posted, "You're wrong"?

BTW, you do monitor the RC's posts to ensure they they hold to your standards and chastise them when they don't as well, don't you?

That was not chastisement; it was strictly an observation, with encouragement to proclaim beliefs with joy (a Fruit of the Holy Spirit).

As I stated in my post, each person is responsible for what they post.

After all, you wouldn't want to leave the impression of hypocrisy.

I'm not a hypocrite. I said, "Proclaim your faith with joy and fraternal love! You don't need to denigrate another's faith to proclaim yours." I respect a person's right to believe other than I do.

Two points 1) Catholics have the entire Bible, not the Readers Digest version ordered made by a sodomite that was into Wiccan.

2) This IS My body... This IS My blood....seems pretty clear to anyone that can read. It is not the mysterious, veiled, blurred comments the prots like to make it out to be.

Hi!
1. Check again about unBaptised children.
2. In our Baptism, a person may be immersed if an adult and the parish has the facilities; otherwise, water is poured over the Catechumen’s head. Sprinkling is for blessings.
3. I am responsible for what I post. If you dislike what a person posted, you may address them personally or contact the RM.
4. I have taken my own share of name-calling on this site, both personally and to my Catholic Faith.
5. Each of us believes that ours is the true belief system. I as a Catholic believe that my Faith comes closest to the truth. Do I believe that everyone else is going to hell? Of course not! God works in each person’s soul differently, and does not wish to lose a single soul, unless that soul uses its free will to go against God.
Hope that clears things up a bit...

You're entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine.

I’m sorry; I was making an observation on a plethora of negative posts. Mind reading was not my intention. I apologize.
Thank you!
