The Romanist organization has, like the other “spiritist” organizations, placed a great deal of emphasis on attempting “deep thoughts” about God. Frankly, this is hooey.

First, of all, the Romanist group does not hold a biblical view of its doctrines. As noted around here, it finds itself above all that, able to construct its perspectives from extra-biblical traditions and opinions. If Rome thinks biblical Christians use YOPIOS, they ought to look in the mirror and notice that they don’t connect with ANY interpretation. They just manufacture the junk out of whole cloth.

Second, if they cannot get the basics right, their so-called “deeper” meditations are going off to the Flying Spaghetti Monster or somewhere other than the God of Israel, the God of the Bible. Thus, just as Muslims sincerely believe that they are going to have 72 virgins when that chest pack goes off, RCs are living a delusion of “deeper prayer”. Go read the text...your view is not there.

Third, the biblical writers of the NT, principally Paul, does not spend a great deal of time encouraging “meditation” or “deeper prayer”. Actually, he notes that we don’t really have any idea how to pray correctly...and never will until we are fully redeemed. His encouragement focuses on getting the story straight, something that Rome does not do insofar as it is so deeply committed to its traditions, myths, and fables. Wake up Rome...if Jesus permits. Otherwise, do not be deceived about your “deeper prayer”...the hole is just getting darker.

In your humble opinion. God and the soul communicate in contemplative prayer. Your description is totally inaccurate. One who is not Catholic cannot claim to know what the life of a practicing Catholic can be when devoted to prayer- and there more than one way to pray.

Have you never seen someone resting in the Spirit when one who is living a life of austerity and prayer lays hands upon them? A person speaking in a private prayer tongue, not the prophetic type intended for another interpreter, speaks, or rather the Spirit through him with the groanings that cannot be expressed in speech. That is between the soul and God. Please don't presume to know the souls of others-that is for Good alone.

You may think we're "delusional" but no comparisons to Muslim extremists, thank you!
