You have no idea how much of a favor she is doing for you.

I'm 53 years old and I've heard such "favors" many hundreds of times. And I am good friends with many Protestant ministers and pastors who have never felt the need to attack my Faith. If you would like to go over a list of sinful human beings, I can do the same with Protestant Preachers who founded their own churches and couldn't keep their pants zipped, but that's not necessary. We both agree that humans are weak and often sin, but we also both believe that Jesus is our Savior so let's just drop the taunts and insults and focus on Him.

Which Jesus? The Jesus that paid the full price for ALL our sins and will remember them no more or the Jesus of Catholicism who requires man to pay for some of his own? The Jesus that gives His glory to no one else or the Jesus of Catholicism who Mary has taken some of the glory from? The Jesus who is loving and live within those He calls His or the Jesus who Mary has to cajole to accept some? It's not the same Jesus for Catholicism as the Jesus of Scripture.

Well, that little dig deserves the response of pointing out the pedophile priests that the Catholic church has mishandled for decades at the very least.

Golly; what 'friends' you have!

Did you meet them at Ecumenical Gatherings?


 
Acts 17:18-19
 18.  A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
 19.  Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
 
Acts 18:11
    So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
 
 
 
 
 
Romans 15:4
 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
 
 
Romans 16:17
   I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
 
 
1 Corinthians 4:17
   For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
 
 
1 Corinthians 11:2
 2.  I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,  just as I passed them on to you.
 
 
Ephesians 4:14-15
 14.  Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
 15.  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
 
 
2 Thessalonians 2:15
   So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings  we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
 
 
2 Thessalonians 3:6
  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching  you received from us.
 
 
1 Timothy 1:3-4
 3.  As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer
 4.  nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith.
 
 
1 Timothy 1:7
  They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
 
 
1 Timothy 2:7
   And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:1-2
 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:6
   If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:11
  Command and teach these things.
 
 
1 Timothy 6:3-5
 3.  If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
 4.  he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 
 5.  and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
 
 
2 Timothy 1:13
  What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
 
 
 2 Timothy 2:15-17
 15.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
 16.  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
 17.  Their teaching will spread like gangrene.
 
 
2 Timothy 3:16-17
 16.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
 17.  so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 
 
 2 Timothy 4:3-4
  3.  For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
  4.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
 
 
Titus 1:11
   They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
 
 
Titus 2:1
  You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
 
 
Titus 2:15
  These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
 
 
 Hebrews 13:9
 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.
 
 
 2 Peter 2:1-3
 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
 
 
2 John 1:10
  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.

Catholics CAN'T!!

They are BRAINWASHED to endlessly prattle this mantra:

"I am good friends with many Protestant ministers and pastors who have never felt the need to attack my Faith."

Many of the so-called "pastors" of today are so "Joel-Osteen-like" that they wouldn't know the Gospel if it bit them in the robes. They are smarmy, PC characters who are likely lost themselves. RnMomof7 is reporting this information about the false claims of a papacy expressly to alert you to the error of Rome. It's theology is unbiblical, its traditions deadly, and its men are lost.

"I can do the same with Protestant Preachers who founded their own churches and couldn't keep their pants zipped,"

Certainly you can, but your org claims your "pope" is the "Vicar of Christ", the substitute for Jesus on Earth. You claim he speaks infallibly when he speaks ex cathedra, you believe he is "Father" and appointed by the Holy Spirit. Those are blasphemous claims, proven wrong by their debauched, sick, twisted behavior in the past and their wrongheaded statements about Mary and salvation currently. We are not "taunting" you, but crying out to you to leave her and come into the light of Jesus, alone.

There are few Martin Luthers willing to confront false doctrine. Your "friends" do not care if you go to hell or not.. it is more important that you "like" them

With "friends " like that people will end up in hell....

We both agree that humans are weak and often sin, but we also both believe that Jesus is our Savior so let's just drop the taunts and insults and focus on Him.

Explain to me how Jesus is your savior
