Walking With Jesus as a Former Catholic

We’re all guilty

True; but WHY are we guilty?

I suspect we are VERY frustrated at the world around us; and we feel helpless to do much about it.

I have pet goats. Had 4, but one died. We got them as babies and had to hand feed them from a bottle for a bit.

It was interesting watching them vie for power between themselves; having no older goats to learn from.

We had twin girls, and twin boys (from separate mothers). Jack got to be the Alpha male and Ellie Mae was the dominate female. Poor little Gracie was on the bottom of the totem pole.

When head butting time occurs (several times a day) Gracie is at the receiving end of it all.

So what does SHE do?

Takes it out on the closest barn cat!

She so proud of herself when she runs one off!

So; who does Elsie get to butt heads with?

Some faceless person on FR!

OK just stop that right now! You're making sense and that goes against the pigeonhole I have you stuffed in.

May the peace of Jesus Christ be with you forever.

Here's one YOU won't have to post. "TAKE AND EAT OF THIS...THIS IS MY BODY"...

Mines from the Bible, yours is from wikipedia...

I doubt Christ would even want to be a part of this group either And I doubt that you truly know Christ.

Christ is against birthday celebrations??...I doubt it.

no blue eyes, imposture

[ZagFan]

I think you’re mistaken. I don’t waste a lot of time hand-wringing over the faith of a billion-plus Catholics. If you had confidence in your faith you wouldn’t find the need to do so either.

I’m actually more like Mary....

[ZagFan]

“And I doubt that you truly know Christ.”

I’ll let Christ speak for himself.

[ZagFan]

So, I’m assuming your answer to all of my questions is ‘yes’.

My response: No thanks.

[sargon]

Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister...

Well then he was already halfway there, I guess.

My goats would have to wear a diaper to ride in MY vehicle!

IZZAT so?

I kinda LIKE 'contending for the faith'.

[Elsie]

Oh!

Me neither; for they have a LOT more faith than I do!

They believe in a LOT more stuff than I ever will!

And exactly just where did I state that? Please cite the exact post.

[2nd amendment mama]

I wasn’t speaking to you!

[CynicalBear]

So you can’t show “where Jesus and the apostles taught the celebration of Easter”?

A comment was made about a group celebrating Christmas and you stated that Christ wouldn't want to be part of that

why not?? It's a birthday party

[terycarl]

So you can’t show “where Jesus and the apostles taught the celebration of Easter”?

Jesus celebrated Easter by rising from the dead!!!....there were Angels and everything!!! The apostles and Mary Magdelin even went to visit the grave site.

We choose a Sunday to celebrate that event...call it Easter

Nope NEVER said that!!! Go back and look at what I posted then you can apologize to me.

I think those adult diapers would work...just have to put the 2 back legs onto the hole...
