Why do you say things like this, which are not true and which you couldn't possibly know?
I don't know about others, I just know about my OWN experience. I did not have much hope. I do now.
I hope you are getting more healthy with each passing day.
I am obviously slow and not well-balanced, but just to breathe the air is a Good Thing.
Being on a ventilator for 16 days was horrible, even though it saved my life.
That, and about a million prayers from FReepers, friends and family. Man, I owe a TON of prayers.
It's given me a lot to think about.
That’s what that sentence means - Catholics and Muslims adore the same God. And that is the problem with Catholics needing to defend their church as perfect at the expense of truth. God is perfect. God’s Word is perfect. But none of the churches in earth are. The evidence has shown that. It is infinitely better to admit flaws and imperfections that are truly there than to falsely deny them. God is truth and wrong-doing is to be confessed, not covered up. God’s church, made up of those who truly believe in Him (believe the Gospel) belongs to Him, but it is not Him.
It was mistake. I’m posting from my phone and forgot I wasn’t posting directly in reply to the person I wanted to say a few things to.
Yeah, Imagine that.
Luther wanted to see the church he was part of and loved be cleaned up of the corruption and immorality that was rife in it.
The nerve of some people.
Clinton would have a challenge on his hands to get as low as some priests.
Honestly, *every man his own priest*.
What a hoot.
I noticed how your extensive history that you posted got blown off.
The Roman Catholic Church has stated our beliefs IN WRITING for over 1900+ years.
So you, belonging to a ‘church’ that is at most 500 years old have been ‘divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit’ to discern that the beliefs of our Catholic Church are in error.
So your 500 year old beliefs are correct and our 1900+ year old beliefs are wrong.
Well that is so special, you must be so proud of all your ‘so correct’ discernment.
BTW, have your ever heard the phrase ‘Vincible Ignorance’? No?
Well good luck with that.

Thank you for the explanation. 8>)
Yeah sure the ONLY thing Luther wanted was to ‘see cleaned up the corruption and immorality’ which is why he broke his three sacred vows to God of poverty, chastity and obedience, took up with a nun and became the charmer that several previous posters have quoted.
He became corrupted just like what he wanted to see cleaned up, which is precisely why he was excommunicated and became anathema.
He was just such the innocent ‘reformer’
For the Greater Glory of God
All your devotional threads does not stop you from engaging in such dishonestly, as long as it serves Rome, or is this more ignorance?
Then you serve a mythical Catholicism, since the real RCC counts, calls and treats even Ted Kennedy type RCs as members in life and in death. And as a RC you have been told that your job is to simply follow the pastors.
Did you check the link that verifies it?
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
Satan has fooled so many for so long... and that includes your 1900 year old cult! He was here before your cult came onto the scene and has made fools of too many.
Scripture stands solid in contrast to the movable goalposts of Roman Catholicism! Popes come and go, but the Holy Spirit/Jesus/God is the same today, yesterday, and forever! (Hebrews 13:8) His Word will endure forever. (Isaiah 40:8)
I did not contribute my hard earned money so that it went to the poor.
I contribute to Peter’s Pence so that it precisely goes to Rome, because I want it to go to Rome.
Obviously why should Rome do with its money, what some protestant, like you, wants it to do?
I think your protestant contributions are just a fraction of Catholicism contributions, but I think you are not contributing near enough to fight abortion, contraception and pornography.
I would be up for matching donations for every $ protestants donated to EWTN and Relevant Radio!

Actually the most conservative RCs have, as they do not simply follow their pastors but pick and choose from V2 what is binding, based upon their interpretation of what Catholic teaching based upon historical documents.
Thus their denial of Prot salvation.
Meanwhile, comparing what RCs call Protestantism, which includes multitudes of churches which deny the most basic defining distinctive of the Reformation, with one church which exists inn sects and schism and a limited and largely paper unity is not a valid comparison.
A valid comparison would be between those who hold most strongly to Scripture as literally being the wholly inspired word of God, not the liberal revisionism which Rome has been teaching for decades, with the overall fruit of Rome.
“defining distinctive of the Reformation, with one church which exists inn sects and schism and a limited and largely paper unity is not a valid comparison.”
Only in your protestant dreams.

You have only affirmed that you do not have an argument.
Braggadocio here often?
Wow.
Think my post struck some hidden nerve in you.
(More RCC Pride and even more Arrogance in your next post, please?)
