You cannot trust your mind or your heart, you must trust God.

The last phrase appears to have gotten snipped off...

...and the Catholic Church.

"Prior to Vatican II all non-Catholic churchgoers will go to Hell."

That was never Church doctrine.

If your popes put it in official writing (which they did) and broadcast and published it to the entire world, it IS Catholic doctrine...

Is it permissable to call all Catholics liars if it is done so with evasive language?

It can be done with direct language.

Just don't say that FR Catholics are liars.

AMEN, Iscool.

I have never heard anyone say that "a Christian is one who believes in the divinity of Jesus." Is that all, Eucharista?

>>Again, for the catholic, everything has to go through Mary."<<

Salvation came to the world through Mary.

You again?? You've already shown you don't know what you're talking about.

Now go back home and re-read the catechism....you know, you're certified....so you claim.

Better still...and the truth.

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17 NASB).

Guess Paul didn't read your catechism. Good thing too.

I don't bluff.

Why do you presume that the spirit world and heaven are constrained by the properties of the material world such as time and space?

Why does ROME presume they are not?

Pretty disrespectful. It’s bad enough to get that kind of adolescent stuff at atheist sites (that and “Flying Spaghetti Monster”) but more painful to hear it from one of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Hey...wanted you two to know that Eucharista's been certified in the catechism.

Yet he/she doesn't apparently know what's in it.

I don't bluff.

Like Catholics dedicating themselves to Mary rather than Christ?

Surely NOT!!??!!


My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!
God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.
Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.
We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.
Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.
Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.
May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.
You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.
You love us because God and Christ loved us first.
Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.

Only one Catholic Church. PROTESTants there might be 100,000 or more denominations. You can start another one today if you want to. Go for it. Anything goes. All are their own authority. All are experts. All know more than the other one.

The First Baptist Church and the 8th Baptist Church in Houston are the same Denomination...

The HillBilly plains Baptist Church in Lansing, Georgia and the Crystal Valley Baptist church in Birmingham, Alaska are two more of the same Denomination...

If I start a storefront Baptist Church in New Your City tomorrow, it is still the same Denomination...

This is just an egregious insult. Consider the impact of this kind of contempt: does it really advance the kind of mutual respect we want to have?

Good night. I'm outta here.

There is only one God, not two, not three, not many.

Our FR Mormons will disagree readily on this point.

Is this a trick question or do you really believe that Salvation is a reward and not an unmerited gift?

Yes; it is. (your question here; of course.)

NOTHING was mentioned about SALVASTION at all.

The word used was REWARDs.

I specifically said that two supposedly "dead" people spoke to Jesus who was fully present in human form such that the Apostles witnessed it. You did not address that.

I see that you CAN find specific words when it behooves you.
