But you already knew that. Why do you repeat this stuff? I believe you want to post in good faith, which is why your repeating misinformation is so perplexing.
Elsewhere, you also said,
"...the church has "used the [canonization] process" on many many that predated Patrick"
I responded; "OK, my dear, you're on. Name one."
And you haven't.
What am I to conclude fom that?
It's just undeniable. Why, to this very day, the Irish are renowned for Baptist Monasticism. And, face, it, the island is dotted with ancient monuments to Blessed Mary the Baptist Mother of God.
Patrick was also a huge fan of U. of Alabama football, and his favorite restaurant was Waffle House.
Yours sounds good - here is ours: - corned beef cooked all day in the crockpot - apple slaw, boiled new potatoes with plenty of butter! and cut out cookies in the shapes of shamrocks and crosses with green frosting.
The mixed berry dessert sounds fabulous - maybe I will try to find a similar recipe.
St. Patrick Ora Pro Nobis!!
P.S. This topic of this thread is so ludicrous as to be hilarious!! I own and read St. Patrick’s “Confessions” in his own words and he is very pleased with God for his baptisms, confirmations, ORDINATIONS to the priesthood and inspiring the monks and holy virgins’ vocations to holy orders and the founding of the monasteries.
Well, therein lies the problem. If the Roman Org. would teach that there is no rescue in works, they would not produce folks who "try to get to heaven". The Scriptures clearly teach that by no works will a man ever be justified...only from the gift of grace. That is how Abraham was saved, that was how Paul was saved, that is how we must be saved...not by being "faithful". Tragically, these folks are not as faithful as they think...which is precisely the problem. As Paul quoted from the OT, "there is none righteous, not even one". Unless one is persuaded that only God is the One doing all the rescue them, their works are dead. But, Rome teaches that by good works a man may be rescued...a thousand miles away from truth.
LOL!
And the renowned Baptist Monastics who hand wrote the Book of Kells (St. Jerome Vulgate) was actually a Lutheran version of the bible. /s
“...more about what Patrick actually taught...”
Here is a direct quote from Patrick’s “Confessions”:
“...Jesus Christ is our Lord and God.
It is he whom we believe and we hope he will soon come again, to be the judge of the living and the dead and WHO WILL RENDER TO EACH MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS...”
Is this a protestant position? No!!
St. Patrick was a Catholic Bishop and completely adhered to Catholic Doctrine.
You obviously did not read the article.
Most of us biblical Christians are fairly certain that Catholics cling to incorrect doctrine...because God has blinded them. But, welcome back to the fray.
It's like you're saying, "Jesus loves you--- not!"
What an evangelizing strategy!
Of course not! It was totally twisted and revisionist and there was no point.
I read from the root sources, which is St. Patrick himself - I do not need to use an interim source with an agenda. I quoted directly from St. Patrick, from his “Confessions”.
Hmmm. I vaguely recollect that someone started this by saying Protestants began as pagans. Well, whatever, at least you caught my message...Jesus does love you, if He has decided to (John 6, Rom. 9). And, you are safe in His arms...if you are among the elect (I Pet. 2). And, you are adopted and in the beloved...if He has chosen you before the foundation of the earth (Eph. 1). Check them out...these remarks beat the boys in the pointy beanies and $ 10,000 bathrobes.
And besides, John Leland started it all by calling St. Patrick, Bishop, celebrant of the Sacraments, founder of Irish Monasticism, a Baptist.
Oh, there's hilarity all around.
Okay, you really are back in form now! And, yes, I recognize that as an old Baptist hymnal cover I saw at the First Baptist Church Corvallis Oregon...when I was 8. I stole the hymnal (for the pictures). Then I grew older (not really "grew up"), tried to play rock and roll, but instead went off to get a ThB and was totally indoctrinated in "free willy"...it took 20 more years for the light to dawn on divine determinism. I'll share that with you someday...if God permits.
And, I know who Patrick the Baptist is, but who is Rowan Williams???
Rowan Williams, Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, and ... Druid! I kid you not.
BBC: Archbishop becomes Druid (LINK)
From the article: "Dr Williams became a member of the highest of the three orders of the Gorsedd of Bards - a 1,300-strong circle of Wales' key cultural contributors - in a ceremony at this year's National Eisteddfod celebration of Welsh culture in St Davids, Pembrokeshire."
Mystery solved...thank you.
I just blew a peanut out my nose...where do you get this stuff?
But where do I get this stuff? I'll never tell...
