Jesus commanded them : “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Yes it is. The Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and given to the Israelites. Catholics aren’t even using the same calender so they couldn’t possibly know what day it is anyway so the jokes on you. Nor was the Sabbath ever called the “Lord’s day” so Catholics have a double wammy on that deal.
Unless it's Mary and Joseph then Catholicism has to lie about it.
HERETICS!!
I was away from the Church years ago and returned. If my parents had given me a hard time about it, I would have been obstinate, and was to old to get hit! I believe that God knows our hearts and in His Wisdom and His time, finds a way to reach us: yet we remain with a free will to decide for or against Him which He Himself does not violate.
I also believe there is a very thin line between truly desiring the salvation of a soul, as you've spoken of, and a feeling of superiority over another, and a desire to mock that which what one makes no effort to truly understand.
Again, I commend you! An approach such as yours, combined with a genuine desire to bring souls to God is a blessing! May He continue to watch over and guide you: and bless you!
Your comment: “My experiece with mass is that it is a snooze fest and the only way most people stay awake is because of the standing, sitting, kneeling calisthenics”
Mass is not for your personal pleasure, it is a way Catholics adore God and accept Him through His Body and Blood in the Eucharist.
I am sorry that you feel that way, and I hope that you begin to understand how special Mass is and learn to love God and how much we owe Jesus for His suffering and love.
It is not easy to be a Catholic and we should expect some suffering to follow the path of Christ.
Didn't you say that you aren't into the Sunday church thing, that you more or less do things on your own.....I go to Mass EVERY Sunday because I want to...and Holy days too.Don't belittle those who are FAR more likely to attend chuurch services than you are.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
If the Catholic Church can't prove the apostles taught what they teach it's another gospel.
You serve the enemy well, albeit unintentionally. Fortunately for you (in my humble opinion), your intent is what matters.
May He bless you.
And in quite literally pray for you.
Hard roads lie ahead, people. We are going to need each other. In fact, we already do.
God bless you!
Further, in case *I* am wrong (have been deceived before), may I ask that you pray for me?
“Let me try to get this straight....for 1,600 years ALL Christans....billions of them...believed in transubstantiation”
History simply doesn’t support that statement. There were varying views over the centuries, but it wasn’t until the 9th century that Paschasius Radbertus first formulated the doctrine of transubstantiation. That sparked an ongoing debate that wasn’t settled until the Lateran Council of 1215. According to Duns Scotus, transubstantiation was not an article of faith before the thirteenth century.
By pointing out scripture? Wow! Scripture was not written by my enemy but by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. If you disagree with what Paul wrote explain to me why.
I quite*

I pray every night for Catholics here that God will take the scales off their eyes and open their hearts to the pleading of the Holy Spirit. I pray for all who read these threads that God will open their eyes to the truth of His grace and put their faith in Christ alone through faith alone. I pray they put their faith in Christ alone and not in some "church" or organization of fallible men. We can go boldly before the throne of God in Jesus name.
I wouldn’t consider iphones part of the gospel of salvation.
